The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1951-02-22, Page 12Page 12 THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1951 Easter Seals Help Children Walk The campaign of Easter Seals —the stamps that help crippled children walk—will start next week under sponsorship of Exe­ ter and 'Grand Bend Lions Clubs. Across the province, more than 200 service clubs will be selling seals to finance the work of the Ontario Society for Cripp­ led Children. Children with deformities or stricken by such plagues as polio get the benefit of the Easter seal campaign. The Society brings medical and surgical skill to these children, many of whom would not receive such atten­ tion otherwise. The children who limped or lay in beds yesterday but who walk with confidence to-day is a tribute to the Society. It’s worthy of your support. The local committee, under R, C.
