There are over 100 children in the Oshawa and Ontario County area who benefit from this yearly campaign to raise funds, which are divided between the Crippled Children's Committee of the Oshawa Rotary Club and the Ontario Soci- ety for Crippled Children, A good share of the money con- tributed by the purchase of Easter Seals goes to provide a holiday for many of the Oshawa district crippled children at the Blue Mountain Crippled Children's Camp near Colling- wood.

Victims Of Palsy Given Bright Hope Until three years ago, victims of cerebral palsy faced a bleak future of helpless dependence on others. Because of brain injuries--ususlly at birth--they were doomed to go through life with varying degrees of paralysis, little or no control over their limbs and, sometimes, their speech. Parents of such ehil- dren lived with a haun fom that their youngsters would some day be left alone and hejpless. ay, the picture is a brighter. In a rambling former summer mansion on the outskirts of London, a small group of doctors and other specialists are Workin quietly to transform erip ed youngsters into happy, norms; chile dren. They're a long way from finding all the answers--yet. But their efforts have ght new hope to the 3,000 vi of cere- bral palsy in Ontario. At the Woodeden centre, 34 cere bral palsy victims, between the |ages of three and six, have been | undergoing a series of tests to per- fect techniques of value to all such sufferers. A team of doctors, nurses and physio-therapists, head- ed by Dr. T. H. Coffey, Professor of Physical Medicine at the Uni- versity of Western Ontario, have worked out a treatment plan oo- |ordinating medicine, education and | social serviee. |* Aided by nursery school and speech teachers, they are working patiently toward their goal; rove that cerebral palsy vietims | ean be helped, not only hysically | but mentally. | Their work has indicated that {two out of every three cerebral | palsy victims can be trained 'to Janke} marked im nptkey mprovement Par- | Stsatm have with the progress made by childreh | previously considered hopeless cases. . After two years of operation, the centre has learned it is best to keep youngsters at Woodeden only a few months; that much of the treatment and training can be car. ried out successfully in the home under the guidance of parents.

But the On- | tario Society for Ghippled Children, which operates Woodeden, cannot extend its humanitarian work with- out more money.
