The Easter Seal nurses are trained in orthopaedic's; are ex- perienced public health gradu- ates and have all had many months training in working with crippled children. From the 20 district nursing offices of the Society, they will make more than 19,000 home visits in a year. Their area completely blankets Ontario where they work in close co-ordination with the district public health of- fices, doctors, parents and the Easter Seal service clubs. These travelling nurses are a great source of comfort for the parents of crippled child- ren as well as the child. They will demonstrate the correct use of crutches and wheelchairs, adjust braces to release or pre- vent pressure sores. They make sure their children attend clinics or treatment centres when necessary and for those who need a summer vacation, that theyttend one of the So- ciety's five camps. There is no other Easter Seal. organization in the world that has a nursing program for crip- pled children such as in On- tario — and it has become pos- .- Special•home visits by the district nurse of the+ Ontario Socity for Crippled Children — a most important link in the chain of Easter Seal Services for crippled children.

Since the 'nursing service of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children began in 1935, there have been thousands -of crip- pled children discoVered by these nurses and many have, as a result of treatment, over- come their physical disability. Right now these nurses are visiting a home or attending clinic, or adjusting a .brace, or travelling with a young patient to a hospital. Their days are full — their satisfaction is great. They are a true example of an Easter Seal service. New Hope For the Crippled Several newly developed treatment techniques ,employed by the Ontario Society for Crip- pled Children resulted in the permanent discharge of 968 cases during the past year. And what is more encouraging, these children returned to their rightful place' in the com- munity among people who help -- ed. • , Today, early diagnosis of a physical condition by special travelling clinic teams can mean the difference between temporary or permanent disa- bility. Age holds no 'barrier among this younger set when medical specialists prescribe the fitting of more functional artificial limbs on a baby for a first time, or the replacement of near obsolete units on a juvenile. At this point the So- ciety's highly skilled district nurses and therapists begin to mtitild the new being in prepar- ation for a brighter tomorrow. The treatment and care fac- - tors are naturally impertant, but equally so is the participa- tion by countless thousands of Ontario residents who donate annually to the Easter Seal Campaign. Without their help no measurement of success would be possible.
