Head Easter Seals
Dr. Fletcher D. Woodward will serve as 1967 Easter Seal Campaign Chairman for Virginia, it was announced here today.
Dr. Woodward, who is Emeritus Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Virginia, will begin statewide organization immediately for the February 26-Mar^h 26 Campaign.
Some 2000 volunteers will be involved in the annual solicitation of funds to finance services for tlje crippled in Virginia, according to Woodward.
“There is nothing so important as seeing that the handicapped get the right start in life,” he said. “And believe me, there is certainly nothing more important than seeing that crippled children with handicaps of any kind- have a chance to either correct or overcome their handicaps and grow up alongside normal children.
“We want all of our children Jtp Ijaye full, good lives—lives df'dfgnity and independence. As a matter of fact, our state needs every one of them. I haven’t a question in my mind that when our neigbors know what Easter Seals are doing to make this a better world for crippled children—and crippled adults as wellthat they will be generous in their support. It is our neighbors and their children who benefit from these services—today andl tomorrow. We will all help, 1 know.”

The campaign will open February 26 and continue until March 26, Easter Sunday.
