said it was impossible last Friday
to keep the main highways clear
ed although all their trucks and

On Saturday, March "a, Lily

the funds collected will be used
for crippled children's work in
Noble County and the remaining
$3.50 would be used in the nation
wide drive.
In years gone by, crippled chill
dren were kept in back bedrooms
hidden from relatives, friends,
and neighbors, because their par
ents felt ashamed of them and ac-
tually believed that they were to
blame for their children's handi-
caps. Today, that attitude is
changed and crippled children
have been brought "out of the
dark and 'into the light
through specialized care, treat.
ment, and rehabilitation.
Easter Seal contributions have
proven that crippled children car
