Easter Seal Campaign Lagging; Still
More Donations Needed For Objective
through one of the world's most
comprehensive treatment and
rehabilitation programs."
The Society, he said, main-
tains 21 District Nursing Offices
throughout Ontario, staffed by
37 specially trained Public
Health nurses.
The service is one of the most
extensive anywhere in the world
and enables the Society to keep
in direct and constant touch
with more than 14, 000 crippled
children in Ontario.
Club members, working with
Mr. O'Brien, also maintain a
close and direct contact with
the youngsters of this area and
their parents. This way they
are able to provide the Society
with a continuing and personal-
ized report on each child and
to ensure that everything pos-
sible is being done to give them
their rightful place in the com-
munity.
Mr. O'Brien urged all those
who had not done so, to mail
their contributions to the Zurich
Lions Club, in care of Robert
F. Westlake, treasurer of the
Easter Seals committee.
"Spring" said Mr. O'Brien
"traditionally represents the
season of hope, and, for a
crippled child, hope means a
donation to the Easter Seal
campaign."
An Easter Seal won't get a
letter through the post office.
It can't be redeemed for an
electric frying pan or converted
into instant cash. All it can do
is bring a smile to the face of
a handicapped youngster.
This year the Zurich Lions
Club is seeking $1050. in don-
ations to its Easter Seal camp-
aign which ends Easter Sunday,
March 29. To date $625. has
been donated.
The club conducts the camp-
aign in conjunction with the
Ontario Society for Crippled
Children aril half the funds
raised are retained by the Club
for the direct benefit of needy
crippled children in this area.
"This money, " said club
campaign chairman, Donald L.
O'Brien, "enables us to assist
the children and their parents
in a great many ways, including
help in purchasing artificial
limbs or other equipment such
as wheelchairs and braces, trans-
portation to and from camps and,
if required, help in paying for
camping fees."
"The balance of the funds
raised here go directly to the
Ontario Society for Crippled
Children. There they are used
to support the handicapped
youngsters in this province

teen-age boys. Brother Robert's
school is 1500 feet above sea
level, higher than the highest
mountain in Canada. The Nat-
ional language (Hindu) is very
hard to learn; e.g. there are
four ways of saying "How are
you", one for each class of
people.
Some people in Darjeeling
are born, lave and die in the
streets. As it is bacl luck to
have a person die in their homes,
the critically ill are put out on
the street to die. Some of these
people are picked up and taken
to a Death House, where they
might be given three days of
decent living before they die.
The life span is between 30
and 40 years. In the 60's the
population of India increased
one hundred million every year.
When visiting the hill people
the custom is to be served an
egg and a cup of tea before you
leave.
There are no cries about air
pollution in Darjeeling and no
problems with drugs. Many
people are struggling to obtain
enough food to keep alive. Teen
agers are thankful for schools
and anxious to get an education.
Let us remember Brother Rob-
ert in our prayers as he furthers
his studies in London, then
returns to Darjeeling Mission
in November.
Mrs. Dorothy Koehler thanked
Brother Robert for his interesting
talk and colourful slides and
presented him with a small gift
in appreciation.
The ushers for the evening,
Mrs. Clarence Schade and Mrs.
Norman Gascho took the offer-
ing. Mrs. 1-Iess extended an
invitation to everyone to gather
in the basement for refreshments,
Mrs. Wes Merner and Mrs. Mary
Hoffman poured tea and coffee,
