Aid Handicapped; Buy Easter Seals Editor, The Herald: Does a lump ever come into your throat when some helplessly crip pled fellow-being shambles by, and do you silently give thanks that you are not so inescapably burdened? Poor indeed in spiritual wealth is the man or woman whose sympa thies are not touched by the plight of one who has been crippled, and thus handicapped in the job of earn ing a living. And how much greater is the tug at our hearts at the sight of a crippled child. There are many millions of crip pled children in the United States. Some have been handicapped from birth; others fell victim to disabling diseases and accidents. Some of these can be restored to normal by trained therapists and the miracle of modern medicine. Those less for tunate can—and should—be trained to earn their own living and enjoy happy, useful lives in spite of their handicaps. They all deserve that chance, for their handicap is no fault of their own. It takes lots of money to provide the medical care and specialized training necessary. That's why the National Society for Crippled Chil dren and Adults and its local mem ber agencies conduct an Easter Seal campaign each spring. It is appropriate that this laud able fund-raising campaign should be conducted at this time of year, when the Christian world is cele brating the resurrection of Him who said, “Suffer the little children to [come unto Me." | By buying and using Easter Seals. 1 you may help train a special thera pist for crippled children; it may i help pay for an operation or a brace to free a crippled child from con jfinement in bed: it may train some j youngster for an occupation he can aake up in spite of his handicaps. Through your Easter Seal contri bution, you can help start some crip pled children on the road to com plete recovery and others on the way to useful, happy lives. The crip pled child cannot help himself. But ! you can help him—by giving gen : erously.
