Easter comes early this year and so the Ontario So- ciety for Crippled Children has advanced its annual Eas- ter Seal campaign accordingly. This is one appeal which touches the hearts of all but those who harden their hearts toward children and they are few and far between. It is an appeal which is designed to relieve suffering and ease the road of life for children who either enter the world with a crippling handicap or develop one early in life. Who could resist participating in such a cause if it is within their means to do otherwise. The society presents its case very nicely in these words: "No one knocks at your door to sell Easter Seals! The entire campaign -- the message of hope and oppor- tunity for crippled children -- is put squarely to you in a letter. You are asked to read it, and if you think the cause worthy enough, return your contribution in the pink envelope that has been supplied. The one annual campaign conducted by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and its associated service clubs in 230 communities in Ontario is of vital import- ance to more than 16,000 crippled children. Every ser- vice and activity of the Society -- such as its nursing program, treatment centres, camps, clinics, provision of equipment, transportation and so on is dependent upon the success of this Easter Seal campaign. No less than $1,000,000, will do the job efficiently for Ontario's crip- pled children in 1964. "Each year, Easter Seal 'dollars help a rehabilitation team made up of doctors, therapists, nurses, brace-mak- ers, teachers, and volunteers to study, analyse and diag- nose hundreds of crippling conditions. sidered and followed through individually so that each child will eventually participate to the best of his or her ability in a fruitful life without the shackles of de- _ pendency." "Every Easter Seal gift is of some help to a crippled child." . Using Tractors On Highways Nowadays, nearly all farmers, from time to time, have occasion to travel on farm tractors either across or along the Provincial Highways. ~ Dominion Automobile Association, whose member- ship rolls include thousands of Ontarjo Farmers, in a re- cent questionnaire sent out to sample members, was con- cerned with the general lack of knowledge covering Pro- vincigl minimum safety requirements for tractor and implement traffic on Highways. : Major E. G. Hession, Public Relations Officer of D.A.A. offers the following hints to Ontario Farmers us- ing the Highways if they wish to remain onthe right side of the law while enroute. 1.

It IS an offence to allow anyone under the age of 16 to operate a farm tractor onthe Highway. . 4. A farmer does NOT require a Provincial Driver's license to opergfe his tractor on the Highway: however, if, for any reason, he has a driver's license which is under suspension for any period, he may NOT operate a tractor along or across the High- way, during that suspension.

Among these are generous, beautiful women who are modest, old men who don't give a dang, and little kids who are shy. Another species I always felt I should admire was the Early Riser. "Surely," I thought, "there is something' clean and fine and .wholesome in a man who gets up early, winter or summer, and faces life with a decent taste in his mouth, and a good appetite." BE ; ; br ~ For years, accustomed to waking with sheer horror, shrink- ing from the moment of truth, and finally swinging my bad leg to the floor with both hands, groaning as I lurched to the bathroom, I felt inferior in the presence of the Early Riser. .. Now, when it's too late to do much about it, except 'publicly admit that I have always secretly hated the Early Riser, I learn that he's a big phony, that it's all a matter of metabolism, that my own species, the Late Starter, is just as normal, whole- some 'and decent.

They can scarcely climb out of the sack, and 'don't By midnight, there's no holding and at 3 am. they are just getting into their stride. These-are the Late Starters.

No marriage is quite as grotesque as one between an Early Riser and a Late Starter. Sad part of it is that it doesn't show up until it's too late, because when people are courting, they're keen.
