Zurich Lions Club Conduct Easter
Seal Campaign Which Begins Today
Next to Christmas the biggest
avalanche of mail to deluge Ontar-
io's post offices came today when
service clubs in Ontario mail their
Easter Seals to everyone in this
province asking them for help in
their crippled children's work,
Ever service and activity—such
as camping, nursing, treatment clin-
ics, transportation, corrective sur-
gery and research is heavily depen-
dant upon the contributions result-
ing from the Easter Seal campaign,
and this year no less than $875,000
will do the job effeciently for Ontar-
io's more than 15,000 handicapped
children.
Last year the Ontario Society for
Crippled Children, whose only an-
nual appeal for fiends is made dur-
ing the Easter Seal campaign by
by 226 service clubs, carried out
its biggest programme in all its
history. This year the number of
crippled children have greatly in-
creased because Ontario's swiftly
growing population means hund-
reds of new cases each year.
No one knocks at your door to
sell you Easter Seals. The entire
campaign—the message of hope
and opportunity for crippled chil-
dren—is put squarely to you in a
letter. You are asked to read it
and if you think the cause worthy
enough, return your contribution in
the pink envelope.
The organization that cares for
this great number of children is
amazingly small. A tightly knit of-
fice staff at headquarters in Toron-
to, a score of highly trained nurses,
a corps 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 up
of 27 graduate nurses, each of
whom has taken a special post -grad -

uate course on orthopaedic nursing
consultants.
These nurses visit the homes of
handicapped children, teach a par-
ent how to administer therapy
treatment, or direct a child to med-
ical attention .
Five summer camps this year will
givea three week holiday to more
than 1200 children who would oth-
erwise have no such holiday be-
cause of their inability to attend
conventional camps. This is the
biggest camping program of any
single political area in the world,
and its importance is that it not
only gives a holiday, but also teach-
es children who are often embar-
rassed by handicaps, to care for
themselves and get along with oth-
er youngsters.
Clinics for examination of child-
ren in areas far from major hopi-
tal centres are also organized and
attended by top medical specialists.
If children need hospitalization,
this is provided on special advice,
and local doctors co-operate in pro-
viding treatment at home.
With the opening of the 15th
annual Easter Seal campaign today,
there will be thousands of service
club men and women working for
a better future for Timmy and all
his pals. Your contribution to the
Easter Seal campaign is needed.
