"Ail join forces to heip the March of Dimes help the handicapped people of Ontario back to independent living," said Mr. W. Denis Whitaker, President o! the On- tario March o! Dimes. Mr. Whitaker explained that the basic purpose of the March o! Dimes had been greatly en- larged during the past year. Pre viously, funds were used exclusively to provide nehabili- tation for those whose handi- cap had been caused by polio- myeiitis. "Now, we're in a in every way - we wish for you a very happy holiday fflson BALMORAL HOTEL - -- --............< lii i M j' j~i t n j W. Ross Sirike, Q.C.

The problem of polio itself is stili a major one for the March of Dimes, Mr. Whitaker explained, since over 11,000 persons in the province bave been the victims o! polio, and! many of these need help to re- gain some form of useful phy- sical activity. "The Salkc vac- cine came too late for these people," be stated. "We're tackiing a big job in taking on this new load," Mn. Whitaker stated. "But we know that the people of Ontario want this problem solved, and through their help in the com- ing March of Dimes campaign. we'll be able to do the job." March o! Dimes doctors per- form the medicai side of the prograin without fee whenever financial need exists, be ex- plained. March of Dimes dol- lars are used 'to pay hospital costs, and to pay for physiothe- rapy- and equipment and appli- ances needed in the process of rehabilitation. Home - makers are also provided for mothers during rehabilitation, be stated. The March of Dimes con- ducts its medical program through thirteen treatment cen- ters. Patients are brought to the nea-est ciinic for examina- tion, assessment, and corrective procedures. SOLINA Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Yellow- lees, Mr. and Mrs. Wes Yellow- lees and Mrs. J.
