Easter Seal Sale To Benefit 1
f
Many Cherokee Co. Children T
The future of many orippied
children throughout Cherokee Co
unty is in the hands of contributors
to the 1953 Easter Seal campaign,
W. D. Whitaker of Andrews, chair
man of the campaign said today.
A total of $1,000 is needed by the
Crippled Children's League to
continue services to crippled child
ren in our community during the
next year, Mr. Whitaker said.
The Easter Seal campaign began
March 16 and continues through
?April 5, climaxing with a "lily
?ale" during the final week.
Of the $1,000 quota, 91.7 per cent
stays in North Carolina, with 55
per cent of that used locally?in
Cherokee County. Eight and three
tenths per cent goes to the Nation
al cause.
Since November, Cherokee Cou
nty, r.long with Clay and Graham
Counties, has had the service of a
Crippled Children's Clinic, with
more than half of the children
treated coming from Cherokee
County.
Miss Willie Lovingood and Mrs.
Alice Swain, Co-chairmen of the
1953 Easter Seal campaign, said
that the Orthopedic Clinic has
served 101 Cherokee County child
ren and 76 adults since its begin
ning.
Six clinics are conducted t
year in Andrews, over the
Building, with a doctor and staff
members from the Orthopedic
Hospital in Asheville in charge.
Fifteen of the local ' children
treated have received hospital
care in the Orthopedic Hospital
and 31 of the children treated,
were being seen by a speoalist for
the first time.
At present seven county child
ren have been recommended by
the doctor to receive hospitalizat
ion and surgery in the summer,
after school i3 out. Seven of the
adults treated were referred for
vocational rehabilitation training.
