Rotary Starts Easter Seal Drive For Crippled Children "Many crippied children in this province wiil be ne.-lected this year,"' said Mr. Reg W. Happer, Director of the Ontario Society for Crippied Children in bis an- nouncement that bis Society will expand operations this year. "Many p-arents: are un-aware that aid is available for their afflicted cbildren ' For this purpose, the Society adopted Easter Seais as a means o! publicity three years aga. Sa successful were seals in reising funds and publicizing aid ta afflicted youngsters, that today,I there are many children who owe their bappiness ta, them. Many neyer wouid have received tbe curative powers of modern science if it were not for these little bits o! adbesive stamps which, people affix te their letters during Eas- ter." Over 120 Service Clubs, includ- ing Bowrnanville Rotary Club, are perticipating in this drive by mail- ing out seais in their localities. The money so maised is used, ta support the Society wbich acts as a central egency for trained nurses, travelling orthopaedic clinics, spe-ciaiized hospitalization service, operation of special camps and other aids toaeffiicted youngsters. "The patbetic part o! trying ta aid crippled cbildren," said Mr. Happer, 'ris the fact that most of healthy population are not aware that cripphing conditions are so prevalent. In mnany cases, parti- culerly in rural areas or in poorer sections o! larger towns, many parents are unable ta cape either flnencially or by circumstances witb sucb a calamity. Even a 'good income' family can be crip- pied financially by the expense necessary in medical aid ta, a crip- pied chihd. Easter Seals serve the double purpose of acquainting the public with aur crippled child- ren probhem and helping finance the work." % That it is successful Is proven by the feet that since the first sale o! Easter Scals in 1947, thc Society bas been able ta place four extra nurses on staff, have now apened off ices in four other cities besides Toronto, have expanded their camp facihities and hast yeer opencd another camp te service Eastern Ontario. Last year, about 200 Service Clubs reported over 3.000 cases to the Society having ta do with polio, tubercuiosis, rîckets, con- cenital and accidentaI' crippling. Disposition of these cases resulted n hospitalization, troatment, ap- ohiances supplied or other aid.

The masses of white or dirty gray cabwebby grow- th whicb appear on many lawns at this time are caused by the fungus disease "Snow Mold."' This disease couid have been pre- vented by making applications of suitable fungicides in the fali, but if these treatments were flot made little can be. donc ta allevi- ate the condition.

The winter's accumulation o! leaves. twigs and other debris should be raked off as soon as possible. Fertilizer Proper fertilizer is most im- portant in securing and main- taining a desirable turf. If the lawn is in oniy fair condition and fertiiity is obviously low, it is suggested that- a complete fer- tilizer such as 4-12-6, 4-12-4 or ,5-10-5 be applied at the rate o! 25 ta 40 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Hig'h nitrogen fertilizers such as 10-6-4 and 10-5-2 applied at 10 ta 12 pounds per 1,000 square feet are excellent for maintaining bettei quality lawns. It is recommended that the spring application of fertilizers ta the turf be made just before active growtb begins; if appiied after the grass begins ta grow actively It is necessary ta water the fertilizer in immediately after treatment in order ta prevent fertilizatian is fallowed Sa thet 14,820 miles. mixture shauld be scattered over the bare areas at the rate of 3 to 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet and covered by light raking or by means a! a shaliow cavering of screened topsoil followed by rolling.

Plentyl New oil is being sought and found. Money's flowmg faýter. There's lots of activity, lots of opportunity. Ani as a resuit ail Canadians are better off. For instance, oil from Alberta's new wells la expected to save 68 million U.S. dollars this year! That's one of the big reasons for Canada's better trade position, one of the reasons we are able te buy more U2. goods. The new discoveries have meant lower cost operation in Alberta and Saskatchewan for farmer and industrialist, and this must ultimately benefit ail of Canada. Then, too, it takes a lot of money to flnd oil and lots more to dev elop a field once it's found. Two million dollars a week is being poured into oil exploration and development in Aberta today. That spending creates new markets for the things the rest of Chnada has to sell. And finally let's recail that in the war years-and after- we were dependent on foreign oil for rough-ly 90 per cent of our supplies. This year prairie production should exceed prairie demand. With continued effort and reasonable success it is not too rnuch to hope the men who search for oil will make Canada seif-sufficient' in petroleum in years to corne. Everywhere in Alberta you hear about new oil discoveriea -ail the more because they followed the long years when nature baffled the oil seekers. Years when men drilled holes two miles deep and found oniy water. Years of million-dollar disappointments. In 1947 the tide turned. First it was the Leduc field . then the Woodbend field . .. next Redwater .. . now, stili untested by time, other discoveries give new promis and the hope of stili greater benefita for ail Canadiana.
