The Health and Welfare Com-
mittee of Clinton Lions Club, un-
der the chairmanship of Reg. Ball,
are this week sending out Easter
Seals.
Easter Seals go on sale this
Month, through the members of
More than 211 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 hard-
er, if not impossible, to become
self-reliant, self dependent young
citizens. This year the service
clubs have set an objective of
$625,000 from the sale of Easter
Seals.
The purchases of Easter Seals
mean treatment and training, va-
cations in specially equipped sum-
mer camps, and all the other bene-
fits that the 32-year-old Ontario
Society for Crippled Children has
developed over its history of ser-
vice to children. They mean a
chance for lads to take courses at
the internationally-known Variety
Village, the school sponsored and
supported by the entertainment
profession, where trades• are taught
boys unable to work at manual
tasks. For the past two years

What memories are stimulated in
grandfather's mind with thoughts
of his own boyhood? His was an
age of manpower, steam and clock-
work. In the half century separ-
ating his boyhood from that of his
grandson, electricity has literally
"taken over", to become the life-
blood in the pulse of progress.
In that relatively short span of
years, Ontario Hydro has grown
from a conception in men's minds
to one of the largest organizations
of its kind in the world. Today,
Hydro owns and operates 64 hydro-
electric and 2 large fuel-electric
generating stations, and is presently
co-operating in the development of
Canada's first nuclear-electric gen-
erating station, to provide power
from the atom.
Who can say how much power .
will be required 50 years from to-
day? New applications are found
daily for this most versatile of all
commodities. No matter where you
look eleetricity is at work in the
never-ending search for better liv-
ing, opening hEiVit horizons that
mean a brighter future for all.

Clinton Lions Club have sent a
Clinton area youth to the Wood-
eden Camp at London.
Down through the years, Easter
Seals have paved the way for a
program which now provides 21
specially-trained nurses who serve
as liaison with the service clubs
across the province, seeking out
crippled children and directing
them to treatment centres, provid-
ing them with home nursing skills,
and teaching parents what to do
to help their handicapped little
ones take advantage of medically-
prescribed plans of rehabilitation,
fn 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 can't 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 of them hope which
their conditions, or even their
overprotective parents, had not
aroused.
Easter . Seals, too, enroll the
services of leading physicians• and
surgeons, who give freely of their
time and skills at the clinics which
the Society organizes at strategic
centres in Ontario, where local
doctors may bring their young
patients for examination and re-
commended treatment. From the
clinics the children go to hospital,
if necessary, or back to their hom-
es for a program of planned thee-

much more lightly, "substantial control of tuberculos-

said that if the etempo of TB con-
trol continues, this disease which
25 years ago was considered to be
the foremost, would be well on
the way to being controlled.
"Huron County," said Mr. Mar-
tin, "has gone over the top in
other matters, and will no doubt
go over the top in this Tie chest

marked that great strides in med-
icine in Canada have been made
through the co-operation of the
various levels of government and
other organizations which do so
much.
Speaking in general of hospitals
in this area, Mr. Martin compared
them to those he has seen in other
parts of Canada, and said that this
part of Western Ontario has very
fine hospitals. "Though you will
always have pressing and new
problems even here," said Mr.
Martin, "there are not many areas
in Canada as well served by hos-
pitals, doctors and nurses."

BACKACHE
May be mining
Backache is often caused by lazy kidney
action. When kidneys get out of order,
excess acids and wastes remain in the
system. Then backache, disturbed rest •
or that tired-out and heavy-headed feeling
may soon follow. That's the time to take
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's stimulate
the kidneys to normal action. Then you
feel better—sleep better— work better.
