THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 3rd, 1957 D ON'T try to beat the traffic light THINK -- you may save 30 seconds AND -- you may lose your life Remember your signal light is GREEN Remember the RED will be against you FOR ONIV 30 SECONDS THINK -- Are 30 seconds worth saving at the risk of killing yourself--your passenger -- another motorist --a pedestrian who is moving on his GREEN. THINK SLOW DOWN and STAY ALIVE I look well enough hut I need your help • . . -BELIEVE IT OR NOT--I've spent a quarter of my life in The Hospital for Sick Children. But then, I'm only six months old. My little feet were being straightened so that I'd be able to romp and play when I'm older. "I'm all better now -- going home to-morrow. I feel just fine, too, except when X think of the debts I'll be leaving behind. You see, Daddy isn't able to pay for the wonderful care and treatment I received. "The Government and the city I live in, together, paid $2.35 each day I was hare. Unfortunately, that isn't enough because it costs the Hospital an average of $3.45 every > day to treat me and each other little patient. "More than eight thousand little children were cared for here last year, just like me. We're the ones who cause the large deficit of The Hospital for §ick Children every year-bat everyone admits that we're worth it. It isn't our fault that we get sick or become crippled, but the least we can do to appeal to you for help--particularly when we know that this Hospital does not share in the Toronto Federation for Community Service funds because Public Ward patients are admitted from any part of the Province. "Won't you send a donation to the Hospital to help meet this deficit? Even a small gift would be greatly appreciated. "PLEASE . . . send ft TODAY!"
