Down through the years Easter
Seals have paved a way for a
program which now provides 22
specially trained nurses. who
serve as liaison with the service
clubs across the province, seeking
out crippled children and direct-

providing them with home nursing
skills, and teaching parents what
to do to help their handicapped
little ones take advantage of med-
ically prescribed plans for rehabil-
itation.
In five camps, unlike any other
camps in the country, hundreds of
youngsters will have a chance at
summer vacations barred to them
otherwise because they cannot
play exactly as other children do.
In these camps counsellors with
knowledge of what to do teach the
kids to enjoy life, to learn how to
care for themselves and give many

Easter Seals go on sale on Feb-
ruary 26, through the members
of 22n service clubs, as the means
by which the people of Ontario
join in the vast task of making
life better for youngsters who
would otherwise find it harder,
if not impossible, to become self -

This year the service clubs have
set a provincial objective of $800,

"Where You Are A Stranger But Once"
It IsObvious
"It is obvious that the increas-
ing number of alcoholics is related
to the increasing sale and con-
sumption of alcoholic beverages,"
so declared the Windsor Star re-
cently.
It IS obvious—to all who give
thoughtful consideration to this
serious problem. The number of
alcoholics is increasing alarmingly.
Surely it is just as obvious that
the country, the city, the county
with the fewest alcoholics, con-
sumes the smallest quantity of al-
coholic beverages. Thanks to the
scientific study made of this prob-
lem by the Ontario Alcoholism Re-
search Foundation, we have satis-
tics show that of several counties
studied there is one which has a
remarkably low rate of alcoholics
per 100,000 of population. That
county is Huron, "admittedly the
driest county" in Ontario. We in
Huron have no legal liquor outlets
because we are under the Canada
Temperance Act.
One other obvious conclusion,
the CTA should not be repealed,
but amended. This is the aim of
an active group of Huron and
Perth citizens. They are approach-
ing Ottawa about the matter.

Easter Seals, too, enrol the
services of leading physicians and
surgeons who give their time and
skills at the clinics, which the Soc-
iety and the service clubs organize
at strategic centres in Ontario
where local doctors may bring
their young patients for examina-
tion and recommend a treatment.
From the clinics the children go
to hospital, if necessary, or back
to their homes for a program of
planned therapy or training super-
vised by the Society's nurses.
In the field of cerebral palsy,
the Society's Easter Seals have
made possible advances that are
dramatic even though the task is
painfully slow and expensive. At
the Woodeden residential training
centre near London, teams of
nurses and doctors are teaching
children to talk, to walk, to feed
themselves and dress themselves
... even to become helpful family
members instead of helpless vic-
tims of a condition that once spell-
ed hopelessness.
Purchases of Easter Seals mean
membership for the buyers in a
crusade of mercy and service to
children, who through no fault
of their own, bear enormous bur-
dens of affliction, but who need
only a little help to carry those
burdens much more lightly.
