BATS AND BUTTERFLIES
Life can be a real drag, bu
it has its moments. A coupl

We arrived in best clothes
and best manners, ready for an
evening of culture. The house
lights dimmed; the stark set
was revealed; the chorus came
an with its brooding note of
doom and death. You could
have heard a feather drop as a
thousand youngsters sat en-
thralled.
Suddenly a riple of sound
went through the theatre. The
ripple rapidly became a wave.
The chorus, in the best show
tradition, bravely pressed on,
its chant almost lost in the
swelling titter. The ghost of
the • old opera house had taken
over.
He had assumed the form of
a large bat. The noise and
lights had frightened him out
of his eyrie among the rafters.
And he put on a display of
erobatics that stole the show.
He swooped and swirled over
audience and actors. He flick-

And there was Mr. Bat whist-

The chorus wailed, "I have
heard fluting in the nighttime

slanting over." And guess who
was fluting around gaily on his

All in all, a diverting eve-

speak for the players, but the
kids and the bat loved it.
My second reviving experi-
ence was not with a bat, but a

►Obviously, when Expo 67 opens, there'll be radio
and TV, teletypewriters, picture transmission
machines — and phones. And the microwave and
cable equipment for almost all of them will be
i supplied by Bell.
1 But it may surprise you to hear that Bell people
were among the very first to work on the Expo site.
They not only helped plan things from the very
beginning— they were right in there with mobile
or temporary phones as soon as the first machine
got to work.
Because: without communications (and that
means much more than merely phones) there's
practically nothing that can happen these days.
That goes for the important big jobs like Expo,
and the important little jobs like getting your
phone installed. Each one requires a lot of work
and effort — long before the first message ever
goes through.

Communications serve you so well.

More progress in the care
and treatment of the crippled
child has been made in the
past 25 years than during the
whole previous history of man
kind. This progress has hap-
pened because people have been
made aware of the needs of
crippled children and have been
given an opportunity to help by
contributing to the Easter Seal
campaign right in their own
community.
One of the major causes of
disability among children in
Ontario is a disease known as
cerebral palsy. A few years
ago this disease was shrouded
in mystery but today the On-
tario Society for Crippled Chil-
dren's Easter Seal program is
providing help for more than
3,000 cerebral palsy children
who can be trained and do re-
spond to the highly specialized
expensive treatment that is
given at 23 treatment centres
in the province.
The treatment is directed by
experts towards training the
undamaged part of the brain to
take over the functions of the
defective area to as great" a de-
gree as possible. In many eases
near miracles have been work-
ed. In other cases the results
are slow.
The 1966 Easter Seal cam-
paign must raise $1,000,000 in
Ontario to guarantee that no
crippled child in our province
will go without treatment and
assistance that he or she must
have, Easter Sears have paved
the way for expansion, progress
and advancement, enabling
every crippled child in the
province to reach his or her
full potential. Easter Seal con-
tributions have a life-long ef-
fect. It is good business —
and good common sense — to
support the Easter Seal cam-
paign

Last Saturday,I took her to
the city, to compete in the
world's largest musie festival.
Competition is rough, Her
teacher and her mother had
both told her she hadn't a
chance, "because you haven't
worked hard enough,"
She was pretty jittery, Teeth
chattering, great • n e r v o u s]
i yawns, four trips to the bath-
room in 20 minutes. My ',heart
bled for her.
In her first class there were
12 competitors. Guess who
was last, It was for students
20 and under. They were all
good, Even though I've been
to a hundred festivals, and am
pretty worldly, my spirits sank,
for her sake.
The bell clanged. She went
on stage. And as t sat, turning
purple while holding my breath
through a Bach prelude and
fugue, she played like a tiger.
Second place we take.
We tottered out of the audi-
torium in a daze, leapt into a
cab, rushed to meet her Mom,
and !hurled her words back Iito,
her face.
The kid repeated twice dux,
ing the afternoon, and we ar-
rived
xrived home after a 1.2 -hour day
and a 200 -mile trip, staggering
with exhaustion but flushed
with triumph.
Of bats and butterflies, I
guess, is the essence of life.
