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! From Our Early Files 25 Years A o Nelson Ball and one of Dr. and g Mrs. J. S.
