Each year, Easter Seal dol- lars in Ontario have helped this team to study, analyze and di- agnose hundreds of crippling conditions. Each . case is con- sidered and followed through individually, so that each child, will eventually participate to the best of his ability, in a nor- mal, fruitful life, without the shackles of dependency. To en- able each child to reach his or her full potential, the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and their 238 Easter Seal ser- vice clubs, of which the Sea - forth Lions, Club is one, invite everyone to support this year's $1,000,000.00 appeal. The sys- tem of service that has been developed by the Society through 'service clubs, gives many advantages to the child and the public. For the child, it means a per- sonal friendly service being giv- en by a respected member of the community. To the com- munity, it ,rneans an economy of cost by having -So many ex- LEE LEARN, President of the - Seaforth Lions Club, which is sponsoring the Eas- 'ter Seal Campaign, in Sea - forth and district. perienced volunteers available throughout the whole year.

Objective 52,000 For Crippled Kids According to committee chair- man W. D. Stephenson, some 2500 envelopes have be,en mail- ed to residents of Seaforth and surrounding area. This year the local objective has been increased to $2,000, Mr. Stephenson said. To reach this, the co-otieration of the entire community will be- nec- essary. Crippled cliildren's work is 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 W. D. STEPHENSON, who is chairman for the Easter Seal Campaign being spon- sored locally by the Seaforth Lions Club. • Proceeds from the campaign niake possible the Lions Club 'crippled 'chil- dren's work in the area. and pays for a two-week vaca- tion at the society's 'camP- Northwestern Ontario for crip- pled children. The committee in charge of this year's drive has asked sthat 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 cow' 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.
