The Wingham Advance-Times, 1955-03-30, Page 8Page Eight The Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday, March 80, 1955 Many Afflictions Healed by Power Of Easter Seals Because much has been heard of poliomyelitis as a cause of crippling of children, it is often seldom realized that there is a wide range of afflic­ tions, many of them developing before birth, that can have tragic effects on the lives of their unfortunate victims. Yet today many of these can be wholly corrected, and the severity of others can often be alleviated to let the child grow up to a more normal life. Only a generation or two ago the sight of a grown person handicapped by a club foot was not uncommon. Today, especially if a doctor can be­ gin treatment during the first few weeks after its birth, this deformity in a child can be corrected complete­ ly. Similarly, dislocated hips, also a congenital condition, can be correct­ ed, yet it once accounted for many crippled persons. These, and many other handicapping deformities, are still just about as common in births as they were a hun­ dred years ago, yet the teamwork program of the ’Ontario Society for Crippled Children, working in collab­ oration with its two-hundred odd Ont­ ario service club affiliates, make it possible to almost wipe out completely, conditions that handicapped hundreds of people. In addition, tremendous strides have been made in providing surgery, therapy, mechanical appli­ ances and even training to provide self-pendence for children afflicted by cerebral palsy, osteomyelitis, perthes diseases and several other afflictions, which only a few years ago doomed most of their victims to helplessness, Each year the service clubs in Ont­ ario hold their annual Easter Seal campaign, the proceeds of which make possible the never-ending pro­ gram of treatment and training car­ ried on by the Society. This year’s Campaign lasts until April 10th and has an objective of $550,000. Uw...
