sufferers from infantile paralysis.
are many hundreds of children who
crippled. There are children who
activities because of physical handle
who come under the category OF
Gripping" are normal mentally, or
at least are able to take considerable
education. And there are many of
them who, through no fault of their
own, are unable to be cared for
properly; who cannot secure the
medical attention which will allevi-
ate their suffering; who cannot Sc
cure the physical helps in the nature
of necessary corrective means.
1t is at this point that the Society
for Crippled Children can take over,
and does take over in many in
stances. But the society, while
sponsored by many organizations,
and supported by many of our lead
ing citizens, lacks funds with which
to carry on its work And it is be-
cause of this fact that the Easter
Seal Sale has been inaugurated.
Seals will sell for l cent each. They
will be available at the Uline Ice
Arena, at booths placed there for
that purpose; and possibly will be
available at other booths placed in
business houses throughout the city.
Members of the Parent-Teacher
booths, and they are sincerely hop
ing that every resident of Washing
ton, every person employed here,
every visitor to the city, will stop
and make his or her contribution.
Every cent so collected will be
used for helping crippled children,
and I am sure that the people of
Washington and vicinity will rally to
the call.

associations throughout the city
