Easter Seals help crippled
children throughout British
Columbia.
cate Lions Easter —

mpaign for 1977 begins
March 1 and has a target of
$550,000 to maintain . and
operate its programs to help

é 25,000 crippled children
In British Columbia.

The first Lions Easter
Seal Campaign in - 1948
raised $48,942.

Since then the British
Columbia Lions Society- for
Crippled Children has built
the largest transportation

system for the handicapped

inthe world. Now 100 Easter
Seal buses travel more than
1% million miles a year
transporting more ‘than
5,000 crippled children to
schools, treatment centres,
special classes and

recreation, in more than 40
communities from Dawson
Creek to White Rock and.
Campheli River to Fernie.

When the buses are not on
scheduled routes they are
used b handicapped adults,
much like a taxi service.

Easter Seals also help.
support the Lions three
Easter Seal Camps at Lake
Cowichan on ancouver
Island, Winfield in the
Okanagan and Squamish,
where more than 1,000
disabled youngsters have a
holiday every year.

The Lions also operate
Easter Seal House, a home
away from home for
disabled youngsters who
must come to Vancouver
with a parent for diagnosis
and treatment at Vancouver
General Hospital.

Other Easter’ Seal_ser-
vices provided by the Lions
include help for children
with cleft lip and palate or
scoliosis, prosthesis and
special projects. ,

‘FRANK SINATRA

In speaking about crip-
pled children’ Mr. Sinatra
says: “Life hasn’t been easy.
for these kids, but ‘they’re
fighters. So back a fighter,
when Easter Seals come in
the mailbox, use them. And
don’t forget to send a
cheque.”

Mr. Sinatra made radio
and television commercials

Protection for children too

Summer vacations are
very likely in the planning
stages right now, exotic
destinations being studied,
mileages checked and
campsites and roadside
attractions sought par-
ticularly to please the
children.

You wouldn’t- think of
leaving on your holiday
without first tuning up your
vehicle and checking the
tires, says the B.C.
Automobile Association. It
just wouldn’t be safe for
your family: Then why are
you going to set off without
an approved child car
restraint?

Is it because you don’t
know which one to get, don’t
know how to fit, haven’t got
around to buying it yet, or
just can’t be bothered taking
it in-and out of your car?
None of these excuses will
be of any consolation, warns
the Association, once your
child has suffered severe
head injuries from being
violently thrown about the
interior of your vehicle in a
sudden stop.

Driving is'a full time jeb,
requiring full concentration.
You need both hands om the
wheel and have .no time to
check up on your

- youngster’s antics and

acrobatics.
Until your baby is about 15

pounds, he should be placed .

either in a strong, well-
padded car bed secured to
the centre of the rear seat
with two lap belts, or in a
tub-shaped infant carrier in
a semi-reclined position
with secure straps over his
shoulders and around his
torso,, The infant carriers
are not yet tested or
regulated by the govern-
ment for use in motor
vehicles.

Once your child can hold
his head erect, and until he
is about four years old or 40
pounds in weight, buy an
approved ear seat and
follow the installation in-
structions to the letter.

When you purchase the seat, -
the B.C.A.A. advises that -

you look for a decal on it
which states: “This product

complies with applicable

requirements of the
Children’s Car Seats and
Harnesses Regulations.” If.
it doesn’t say this, don't buy

it,
The ideal position for the

. child seat is the centre rear

seat of your vehicle. If the
child seat has a top
fastening strap, always use
it and secure it without

slack, if you expect the.

restraint to be of any safety
value. The special anchor
supplied with the seat
should be attached to a
sturdy steel panel behind
the rear seat and not to a

"If the child seat is being
used in the front of the car,
fasten it to the safety belt in
the rear of the ear, Avoid a
child seat with a top
fastening strap on a high-
backed bucket seat, the club
suggests, because the stra

head rest is-adjustable, run
the strap between the head

Child car seats approved

for use in Canada are:

chandising’s modified
Peterson Model 74;
American Safety Equip-
ment’s Swing-o-matic and
the Strolee 5975, There is
also a new GM seat which
has just recently been ap
proved for use in Canada
and should soon be available
in mest department stores.

Unfortunately there are. |.

no approved safety
restraints in Canada for
children in the 30 to 50 pound
range who are too large for
thecar seats but not yet tall
enough for adult seat belts
to be fully effective. There

are child harnesses ap-_

proved for use in Britain and
the U.S. for this age grou '
but none have yet been able
to meet the Canadian
standards. . ‘

The BCAA can only
suggest that the parent raise
the child up on a firm non-
slip cushion and then fasten
him or her. into the regular
seat belt. Care should be
taken to position the belt at
the correct angle across the
hips and not to let it ride up
across the child's abdomen
where it could cause serious
abdominal ‘injuries in
collision situations. ~

In addition the BCAA
recommends that you follow
these tips: Lo

- Don’t carry your child in

our arms. You may think

2 will be safe, but in any
sudden accident, he would
be crushed between you and
the dashboard.

- Don’t strap two children

and: don’t, leave .it;; into‘one'seat. belt, «..:"

y Don’t carry unsecured,
hard, heavy or sharp objects
or. potentially’ dangerous
toys in the car with children.

Lock all the car doors to
prevent them from swinging
open in the event of _a
collision. . '

-Don'tallow your children
to ride in the back of your
pickup truck: *
