The 14,191 crippled children in the province, living on farms or in city homes or in remote northern hamlets know that the 1960 East- er Seal Campaign means hope. To them the Easter Seals bring treat- ment and training, a possibility of independence and a relief from the physical handicaps that birth, illness or accident have left them. Last year the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, whose only an- nual appeal for funds is made in i' EDNESDA'S';. MARCH 16, 190 the Easter Seal Campaign by 222 service clubs, carried out its big- gest program in all its history. This year, the more than' 114,000 youngsters who are listed on the Society's rolls as "active" cases will have increased because On- tario's swiftly growing population means hundreds of new cases each year. The provincial objective of this year's Easter Seal Campaign, March 17th to April 17th is $850,000. The organization that cares for this number of children is ama- zingly small. A tightly knit office staff at head -quarters in Toronto, a score of highly trained nurses, a core of volunteer doctors and an army of public spirited citizens who give freely of their time. The result is a volume of service out of all proportion to the money spent in the work. This work takes several forms. There is nursing service, made SEE THE ATTRCATIVE COLOURS IN SHORT. AND. LONG.

SKEIN GASCHO PHONE 59 so ZURICH up of 25 graduate nurses, each of whom has taken a special past graduate course in orthapaedic nursing which qualifies them as, orthopaediq consultants. These nurses visit the homes of handi- capped children, teach 'the parents. how to administer therapy treat- ment or direct a child to medical attention. The nurse's function is specific divisions of the province ranges from the Lakehead to Eastern On- tario. Available for their use are qualified therapists whose value is indicated by the fact that the Ontario Government requested the assistance of two during a polio epidemic some years ago and which assistance was provided by the Society at no cost to the pro- vince of patients. Five summer camps this year will give a three week holiday to more than 1,200 children who would otherwise have no such holi- day because of their inability to at- tend conventional camps. This is the biggest crippled children's camping program of any single po- litical area in the world and its importance is that it more than gives a holiday, but teaches chil- dren who are often embarrassed by handicaps to care for them- selves and get along with other youngsters. Clinics for examination of chil- dren in areas far from major hos- pital centres are also organized and attended by two medical spe- cialists from Toronto, ' Hamilton, Ottawa and elsewhere giving their experienced advice. If children need hospitalization this is pro- vided on special advice and local doctors co-operate providing treat- ment at home. With the opening of the 14th Annual Easter Seal Campaign to- day there will be thousands of ser- vice club men and women working for a better future for Timmy and all his pals. 1111..1•11•411Mear. fsgoarteisso Let Us Give Your Hair Phone 223 ZURICH NORMA'S BEAUTY SHOPPE 1•11001M11•141 Informatiori r Voters VOTING DAY — TUESDAY, MARCH 29 Polling Subdivisions of Village North of 84 Highway of Village South of 84 Highway Polls Are Located At The Township Hall No. 1.
