Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 27, 1985, page 7 1985 Easter Seal campaign To ALL Our Friends and Customers; Thank You, and Have A Nice Day Toronto, Ontario -- To successive generations of Ontario residents, March has become known as Easter Seal month when members of 235 service clubs across the province will be canvassing their local communities in the hopes of raising funds to aid physically disabled children. Ths year's target is $3.45 million. '*The Easter Seal Socie- ty is the largest children's service of its kind in North America," explains John Ottawa, Toronto, Wingham, London, Sud- bury, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins, Windsor, Thunder Bay, Barrie and Kingston. The Easter Seal Society was founded in 1922 when representatives from 10 service clubs formed the Ontario Society for Crippl- ed Children in order to pro- vide adequate resources and support for physically disabled children. The Society is governed by a volunteer Board of Direc- tors with province-wide representation. "*Today, 235 clubs such as Rotary, Lions, Kinsmen and Kiwanis are affiliated with the Society and direct their community service ef- forts in support of it," Butler says. The Society provides care for children up to 19 years of age whose actici- ty is restricted bya physical handicap resulting from ac- cidents, disease, congenital defect, birth injury or amputation. . Care and treatment is provided either directly through such programs as district nursing service, diagnostic clinics and cam- ping and recreational pro- grams or indirectly through financial support of research into the causcs and prevention of crippling conditions. These services are designed to help im- prove the lifestyle of physically disabled campaigns, bequests and various special event ac- tivities such as the annual: Bobby Orr Skate-a-thon. and Snowarama, a 100-km snowmobiling fund-raising challenge held in January and February. The Society is incor- porated in Ontario and is a registered charity under the regulations of Revenue Canada.. The 1985 budget totals approximately $10 million, with 75 per cent of it channelled directly into the care and treatment of FLOWERS N' THINGS SCHREIBER 824-274 SINT THUNDER BAY TOPS TURNEY Thunder Bay "Thunder Kings" won the top prize of $1,000.00 and the Carling O'Keefe Trophy in the 5th annual Schreiber Terrace Bay Intermediate No- Body Contact Hockey Tournament, with an 8-6 ~ victory over the "Schreiber Sabers".

The first cam- paign was launched in 1947 and led by the late Conn Smythe because he was Treasurer. In addition to local fund- raising events and a province-wide direct mail campaign, the Easter Seal Campaign culminates in a 17-hour television ex- travaganza called Super- thon which will begin broadcasting on Saturday, March 30, 1985 in 12 On- tario cities.
