DID YOU RECEIVE YOUR SEALS YT? To one group of children in Ontario, camp life every summer means more than usual, It means a chance to do the things that other youngsters do, to live in the sun and "play games, despite the handicaps of cripp- led limbs or twisted backs, And in the 3 camps operated by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, this summer 900 children, who would be una ble to attend camps that lack the special equipment, housing, nurses and instructors, will gather once again, Making this possible will be the annual Has- ter Seal campaign from.March 5 to April 5. The objective is $475,000. ; Most important, perhaps, in the--eyes of the doctors who watch over the welfare of these children is the psychological progress made during their camp holidays, For inst- ance, Amy refused to talk at first, spurned the friendly. advances of other children, refused to smile for kindly nurses, Then one morning, she sa$ in her wheelchair and watch- ed as.Tommy, a spastic paralytic, painfully and almost grotesquely hobbled past her. She turned suddenly to a nurse and said, "Oh, I'd hate to be like Tommy." From that moment, Amy was sunny, happy, an eager participant in every camp activity. She seemed to consider Zlizabeth, another camper, a personal responsibility. Hlizab- eth had been babied at home and expected to be attended hand and foot every hour of the day, Amy joked, teased Hlizabeth, insisted on the latter learning to pick up her own books, wheel her own chair to the table, and so on, "The psychological effect of crippled youngsters getting together and seeing what others accomplish and how they enjoy life is Q m.jor step towards re-establishment", say cemp officials. 0-0-0 LIBRARY NSWS Hours Monday & Wednesdey - 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday & Thursday - 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Children's Hours --""Vonday & Wednesday - 4:00 to 4:30 p.m, Tuesday & Thursday - 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. New Books for Adults "Steamboat Gothic" b: by Frances Parkinson Keyes, Not only is told the, story of the great Louisiana plantations, but of the river which contributed so largely.to their prosp- erity, their prestige and their splendor.
