Ten cards were sent to sick
members who take such an inter-
est in the work of the Institute; to
all the guest speakers; and the
younger members of the commu-
nity who are always willing to as-
sist us with their musical tal-
ents. •
The Institute is a community or-
ganization and members of all
faiths are entitled to belong to
a group such as this. We are always
glad to have visitors and friends
attend the meetings and become
a member. The membership is
only $.50 a year.
May our Institute continue to
prosper and be an example of uni-
ty in race, religion and nationality
and live up to our motto, "For
Home and Country."
Like brigades of soldiers, dedi-
cated to nothing short of the un-
conditional surrender of disease
and deforrnatories that prevent
little children from running and
playing with their brothers and
sisters, a veritable army of thou-
sands of sevice clubs' members
rally every spring for their an-
nual assault.
The weapon they unleash on the
general public is the Easter Seals,
a symbol of hope and opportunity
provided by The Ontario Society
for Crippled Children. You will
have already received your Easter
Seals and this year a target of
$850,000 in voluntary contributions
must be realized or some of the
more than 14,000 handicapped kid-
dies across the Province will be
neglected.
The hands of a Rotarian, for ex-
ample, may hold the surgeon's
knife in a vitally important cor-
rective operation which allows a
child to walk alone and unaided
again. The hands of a Lion may
hold the steering wheel of a car
or station wagon that takes crip-
pled children to clinics, baseball
games, picnics and Christmas par-
ties, The hands of a Kiwanian may
hold a paint brush that helps to
decorate one of the Society's five
summer camps in readiness for
hundreds of cheering youngsters
who are eligible nowhere else in
the hot summer months.
From this act of licking a stamp
and mailing you a campaign letter
and a sheet of Easter Seals, to the
important business of the forma -1
tion of the Society's policies in ex-
pansion programs, the service club
members take a keen interest and
active part.
They take pride in assuming
they are the official liaison be-
tween
the local health authorities
and the Society, making it their
duty to see that every handicapped
child is treated and provided with
transportation and the proper
braces and appliances made neces-
sary by his disability.
More progress in the care and
treatment of the crippled child has
been made in the past 25 years
than during the whole previous
history of mankind. Help the mem-
bers of the 222 Ontario Easter
Seal Service Clubs keep this vi-
tal program in operation until ev-
ery crippled child in this Province
has the opportunity of a happier
life and chance to achieve indepen-
dence. That way they will grow
to assume their rightful place in
society as a self-sustaining and
contributing citizen, not a liability.
Report of the London Area Con-
vention was read. Donations were
sent to the Tele Milk Fund and
Children's Aid Society in Goder-
ich.
The president and secretary at-
tended the 25th birthday of Kip -
pen East Institute which was held
in the Hensall Arena Auditorium.
January: Mrs. Wilfred Mack,
Crediton, reported on the A.C.W.-
W. convention which she attended
in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1959.
She spoke of her trips and visits
through England, Ireland, Wales,
Holland and France.
Mrs. Beatrice Hess, Brian and
Ricky Mustard, Blake, and Bob
Erb, entertained with musical num-
bers at this meeting.
February: The guest speaker
was Rev. Dr. Klahsen, London,
LAL. FRED DUGHARME, Correwondent).
Time Problem
Mr, and Mrs. Napoleon Cantin
and family, Detroit, were week
end visitors in St. Joseph with the
former's mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Ty Stansberry, De-
troit, accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. F. Ducharme, were Satur-
day last visitors with Mr. and
Mrs. L. P. Ducharme, in Dashwood,
and on Sunday they motored to
London, where they paid a visit
to Mr. O. Ducharme, who has been
confined to St. Joseph's Hospital
far the past eight weeks. We wish
Mr. Ducharme a speedy recovery.
from his ailment.
Spring Here
Even though there is plenty of
snow that covers the ground and
winter -like weather, spring is with
us again. Once in a score of years
we are greeted with snow late in
the spring, but we should not feel
that all is lost by that for it is only
a delay, especially for farm work,

Spring time again, and many
changes will take place. Farmers.
will make preparations for their
farm work, and business changes.
Also the change from standard
to fast time may be talked about
as usual. Of course this township,
where the council is composed of
all farmers and elected mostly by
them, and being independent of
villages and their outskirts, they
may realize that it may be for
their future interest to fall in. line
with the farmers. Perhaps at their
next meeting there may be dis-
contented members which could
bring about comment and discus-
sion to effect a change. What will
be decided only time will tell.
Early settlers were glad of that,
considering moisture left in the
ground they looked forward for
more than an average crop. The
moisture gives the crops a push
ahead for a rapid growth and with
all this everything points to a bum-
per crop for the coming season.
Suffers Injury
Miss Dolores Denomme, who had
come from Detroit to spend the
week end with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Garfield Denomme, met
with a rather painful accident in
her parents home. While walking
in the basement, in some way, by
perhaps a nus -step, she fell and
an X -Ray showed that she had a
fractured foot which will confine
her in her home for some weeks.
I We wish her a speedy recovery.
