THERE ARE SOME 1,700 handicapped under the age of 21 in the province of B.C. — 25% of these are congenital ortho- pedics, the other 75%. include polio victims, children with epilepsy, cystic -fibrosis, heart defects, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, amputations, deafness, blindness, paral- ysis due to brain and spine injuries, and other disabilities. These children and young

’ people need medical treatment, equipment

and training if they are to enjoy life and some day became useful citizens. It takes money for this and while a few parents can pay for it, some can only partially help and many must rely entirely on the Society for Crippled Children and other similar organizations,

What services does the B.C. Society for Crippled Children offer? Easter Seal buses operate in numerous communities through- out the province taking handicapped and mentally retarded children to amd from school and treatment centres. In 1965, 191,370 trips were made by these buses at a total cost of $138,739.

Easter Seal House in Vancouver with its five light housekeeping units, provides a home-away-from-home for children and parents who must travel to the city for medical examinations and treatment. Aggin in 1965, 656 persons, including 318 children, stayed here. The operating

__ cost of the house was $9,974.

Chehalis Easter Seal camp with experi- enced personnel and registered nurse, pro- vides a holiday for the handicapped child who otherwise may never have an oppor- tunity to enjoy the activities of camp life with cook-outs, sing-alongs, competitive sports and handicrafts.

Patient assistance is another of the Society services, Many things come under this title, transportation costs from out- lying areas to treatment centres, medicines, equipment, doctor, specialist and thera- pists fees; any expense required for the treatment of a handicapped child. In the past year q total of $19,948 was spent for patient assistance.

The B.C. Society for Crippled Children has a 1965 year end deficit of $11 483

‘with no cash reserve to absorb this deticit.

To overcome this and still keep up with the many increasing services required of it, the Society must have a greater response to the Easter Seal campaign. Of nearly 450,000 Easter Seal envelopes mailed out

_ last year, an average of 12% of these

were returned with a donation.

Are you one of the 88% who didn't take the time or didn’t care? Care this year and take a few minutes to put your donation in the mail. Your Easter Seal dollars are well spent and you'll be hap- pier when you know you've helped a handi- capped child to a happier life.

Columbia Cellulose Looks For Men

Columbia Cellulose is starting to look for more than 200 people to operate the $80 million kraft mill project at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The mill, which is joint- ly owned by Svenska Cellulosa of Sweden and Columbia Cellulose, is scheduled ‘to start up late in 1966. :

“We want to attract intelligent high school graduates who have been out of school a few years and feel they are not reaching thelr potential or their present em-

ute advancement,” said Glenn Mat- heson, in charge of personnel and training at the new project,

The pay? From a minimum of about $480 a month to $700 or more,
