Disability Cases Children with physical disa- bilities are being discovered by the Ontario Society for Crippled ',Children almost every day of the year. Case finding is a vit- ally, important. Easter Seal func tion and is carried on in the remote areas as'well a in heav- ily populated towns and- cities through periodic surveys. Crippled children's surveys are conducted on a "County" basis by a special survey com- mittee composed of representa- CANADA 1966 I VI -48c �g H Es tives from the local medical Society, Easter Seal service clubs and the district nurses of the Ontario Society for Crip- pley Children. Survey notices are sent to all physicians; clergymen, teach- ers, official health agencies and community groups' to publicize the services available to all physically infirm children un- der 19 years of age. The families of children re- ported are visited by the dis- trict nurses with prior approval from the family doctor. Under the doctor's direction,- arrange- ments can be made for a com- plete rehabilitation program embracing medicine, therapies, social service, psychology., edu- cation and recreation. In addi- tion, there will be the provi- sion of prosthetic appliances and special equipment as the `need arises. If you, know .of a physically handicapped child not receiv- ing care and treatment, notify any member of the Seaforth Lions Club, so that the case may be referred for investiga- tion. In to -operation with the On- tario Society for Crippled Chil- dren,the Seaforth Lions Club is again sponsoring this year's sale of Easter Seals. A woman of generous propor- tions fell down an esciator, col- lided with a man along the way. and, finally, ,landed on top of him at the bottom. The woman, still rather daz- ed, continued to sit on the man's - chest. He looked up at her with an air of resignation. "Madam," he said politely, "I'm sorry, but this is as far as I go." The Easter Seal sponsored district nursing service of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children has no' equal in the field of child rehabilitation. The Society nurses are all ex- perienced public health gradu- ates who have had special train- ing in orthopeadics and have had manyNrnonths training in working with crippled children, before being assigned to one of the eighteen district nursing of- fices, operated by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children through Easter Seal funds. From district offices, they com- pletely cover Ontario, working in close co=ordination with the - district public health offices, doctors, parents and the Easter Seal service clubs. In addition to their nursing duties of at- tendipg clinics, treatment cen- tres and hospitals, these highly specialized nurses will make more than 20,000 home visits in a year. These travelling nurses are a great source of comfort for the parents of crippled children as well as the child. They will demonstrate the correct use of crutches andwheel chairs, ad- just braces to release or pre- vent,. pressure sores; make cer- tain that thechild attends a clinic or treatment centre when necessary and that boys and girls who need a summer vaca- tion go to one of the Society's five camps. There is no other Easter Seal organization in the world -that ARTHUR J. WRIGH ,Presi- 'dent of the Seaforth Lions Club, which is sponsoring the Easter Seal. campaign in Sea - forth and district. has a nursing program for crip- pled children such as in On- tario—and this has become pos- sible through the support of the people of Ontario to the annual. Easter Seal campaign. Every year, hundreds of crip- pled children are being discov- ered and many as a result of treatment overcome their physi- cal disability. The nurses are a true example of an Easter Seal servieeP: - - - ....�_ - Objective $2,00.0 For Crippled-- Kids According to committee chair- man W. D. Stephenson, some 2500 envelopes have been mail- ed to residents of Seaforth and surrounding area. This.xear the local objective has been increased to' $2,000,, Mr. Stephenson said. To reach this, the co-operation of the entire community will be nec- essary.' Crippled children's work is W. D. STEPHENSON, who • is chairman for the Easter Seal campaign being sponsor- ed locally by the Seaforth Lions Club. Proceeds from the campaign make possible the Lions Club crippled chil- dren's' work in the area. one of the main projects of the local club and it is only through the sale of Easter Seals that they are able to assist locally any crippled child who needs special braces or other assist- ance, in order that they may, live a happier and more useful life. The club ' also arranges and pays for a two-week vaca- tion at the •' society's camp in Northwestern Ontario for crip- pled • children. The committee in charge of this year's drive has asked that anyone receiving Easter Seals who does not care to send in a donation, to please hand or send the seals to a friend or neighbor. Please do not return the seals to the club, Since it costs the club seven cents to redeem them from the Post Office. - While some envelopes con- taining cheques or cash have been received, it',is anticipated that a much better response will be made. during the next few days. If the campaign is to be a success—and it must be a suc- cess, Mr. Stephenson said—a great many more contributions are required. Between now and the close of the drive, at least 1,000 donations ;ire required to put Seaforth over the top. Hunter: "Now, toll me, how do you detect an elephant?"
