and 'Lady IBessborough w e r e
with the splendid welcome they had
been given. "I shall without fail re-
port to His Majesty the King the
feeling of loyalty to his Throne and
b0 his person which is felt by the
people of Seaforth and the whole of
•Ihis district in., an enthusiastic a
manner as is felt, I am sure, in any
part of this great Dominion," said
His Excelency.
• He was especially pleased
with the many children who were
present, and he asked that they be
given a holiday gn October 27th, the
day of his birthday. The children
received the announcement with
cheers.
The Earl and Countess of Bess -
borough were introduced to town and
township offieials and Mayor Suther-
land reiterated the wish that they
anight again visit Seaforth during
their residence in Canada. The Mayoi
then called for cheers, which were
enthusiastically given.
Their Excellencies stood _on the

ceeded from here to Clinton. • On

These are some of the cases
that the Seaforth Lions Club
have in hand now and for which
they ask your support. Do not
fail these children.
•
Case No. 17 months of
age, walked about a month ago. Seems
to turn his left leg. The feet are of
the soft flat footed variety. The
weakness in the left ankle is due to
foot weakness and not to bow leg.
The attention in this case is to be
paid to the shoes. The usual wedg-
ing and Thomas heel should be ap-
plied to these shoes.
Case No. 2.—This child, was treat-
ed in the War Memorial Children's
Hospital, London, in July for moder-
ate degree bow legs. The outline
now is considerably corrected and the
splints need only be worn for half
days for the next two months. Case
will possibly be corrected by that
time and the splints will be discard-
ed altogether.
'Case No. 3.—Boy of 11 years lost.
his leg in an accident a few years
ago. The stump has grown since
then and will require reamputation.
A peg will then be necessary until
such time as griiwth has been reach-
ed and a permanent artificial limb
can be used.
Case No. 4.—This child was treat-
ed three years ago in the Children's
1-1ospital, London, and splintage pro-
vided her, the Child'So.condition being
the result of infantile paralysis. She
was a helpless' cripple at that time.
The present condition shows prac-
tically normal development in thigh
and kg, the reflexes being normal
throughout. The left leg is still ap-
proximately 11/2 inches shorter than
the right and the tendency will be for
greater shorWing of this leg. This
child will ev€ntually require a Hoke
operation to stabilize the left foot.
In the meantime and until she reach-
es 11 years of age, her shoes will have
to be watched, so that the deformity
will mot be aggravated, and she will
always require a one-eighth inch
wedge in the outer side of the sole
and possibly a •metatartfal bar. From
the foregoing case it will be seen the
length of, time required to' correct
some of the club'S cases. The neces-
Sity of having a steady flow of hinds
in cases such as these is all too ap-
parent. This child lives very close
to Seaforth and furnishes an excel-
lent example of the work being done
