Easter Seals And
TO MANY OF US, Easter symbolizes a
time when we think of self-denial. Apart
from the religious observances that many make,
it ,reminds us that the spirit of giving finds
a reflection in the satisfatction that comes
from aiding some other persons.
In recent years in Ontario a means of
giving much help through even a small con-
tribution •has been offered in the purchase
of Easter seals to aid in crippled children's
work. It is an example of much good done
by the combined efforts of many.
Easter seals are offered by the Oktario
Society for Crippled Children and the mare
than 150 service clubs, including Clinton Lions
Club, affiliated with the society in its pro-
vince -wide work. The seals finance the year-
round program which brings the finest 'medi-
cal and surgical skill to bear on the problems
of children who are handicapped ,by 'de-
formities:
From a small beginning a few years ago,
the big idea has become a big project. Child -
Spirit 01 Giving
ren who otherwise, because of financial in-
edequacy or remoteness from skilled physicians,
might never receive treatment, are visited by
the nurses of the Society, are brought td the
attention of specialists who visit clinics through-
out the province, have their conditions diag-
nosed, and are provided with treatment.
Local service clubs, including Clinton
Lions Club, form the field organizations with
which the Society cooperates, and they sponsor
children from their community areas. The sale
of seals finances the flow of childrento treat-
ment centres and provides the backing for the
network of nurses who follow, up the children,
see they receive attention and help 'them be-
come rehabilitated.
Hundreds of children have been rescued
from helplessness, have been treated and
trained in trades. They have been maderinto
self-reliant citizens, But hundreds more must
still be helped. Purchases of Easter seals can
make this possible. Forward your donation
today to Dr. J. A. Addison, chairman, Health
and Welfare Committee, Clinton Lions Club.
Easter Driving Care Urged
TEN DAYS' HOLIDAYS can mean ten
days' hazard for children on the streets and
highways, Hon. George H. Doucett, Ontario
Minister of Highways, points out in a special
pre -Easter statement. He urges all who drive
to watch constantly for children on the streets
and highways.
"Remember the Easter holidays of your
own childhood," the Minister suggests, "with
the freedom from regular schoolday routine
from homework,, and with all the fun of sev-
eral days of carefree play. Today's children,
feeling the same, have to face the dangers
of greatly increased motor traffic. And all of
us use our cars more and more as winter
relaxes its grip."
Mr. Doucett believes that if every person
who drives will keep safety uppermost in his
mind in the next few days, a tragic upswing
in traffic accidents to children can be avoided.
"I know of no person," he says, "who could
erase from his memory the picture of a child
he had maimed or killed. Looking back he
realizes that the accident might have been
avoided by just a little less speed, a little
more care."
During 1949, motor vehicle accidents killed
125 children and injured many of them per-
manently—nearly 3,000. Compared with 1141,
however, children playing in the street figured
•
in fewer accidents, a fact that should give en-
couragement to those who strive to make
children more safety minded; teachers, police,
newspapers, radio, service clubs, parents and
others.
"But in the last analysis, everyone who
drives must recognize his individual respon-
sibility for accidents. Driving is a privilege;
a privilege which is being withdrawn from
several hundred drivers every week because
they fail to use it safely.
There can be no letup in our efforts to
promote safety on our streets and highways.
Rather must our efforts be increased as motor
traffic continues to increase."
Pity The Poor Ostrich!
THE OSTRICH is a poor example for
humans to follow when walking in traffic.
When the ostrich wants to escape danger he
is said to bury his head in the sand, Burying
ypur head in your .coat collar or Under a hat
brim when you are out an the street may
give you just as bad a case of false confidence
as the ostrich, especially if you walk blithely
out in front of a mov}ng car. Sure, the driver
can see you! . . . but not soon enough!

Canon Quinton Warner of
London, was one of the spealc-
.ers at the Ontario Temperance
'Federation Convention at Ham-
ilton. He described the practise
of social drinking as the great-
est curse in the whole tragic
problem o1 alcoholism. When
People of wealth, education and
leisure put the stamps of ap-
proval on drinking then the
problem has been enlarged and
aggravated. One does not ques-
tion that sooner or later people
will come to their senses and
an enlightened public opinion
will brand this cocktail guzzling
