A Better Life For
Crippied Children ■
I 1
j Easter is important to every-;
b'ody and everybody welcomes any j
symbol which brings home to him
vividly the significance of the sen-
son. The growing popularity of
the Easter Seal, which is sold an
nually to help bring to crippled
. . i
children those rights and privi
leges which we feel that everyone'
in our country should enjoy, dem
onstrates that it has come to en
joy that same affectionate place
in our hearts as the other symbols
of the season. Each year the
Stokes County Welfare Depart
ment joins in the national sale of
Easter Seals and Easter Lillie3,
proceeds of which are used in a
'continuous program to advance
the welfare of crippled children
and adults.
Since the money raised during
the sale supports a real program
for them, the Easter season is a
particularly important time of
the year for crippled children.
They fool that they should have
their chances to take their places
as useful citizens. Almost every
' body will find it hard to disagree.
It takes numerous agencies,
both public and private, to add
up to a good program for crippled
children, but the Easter Seal hai
come to stand for certain basic
. things which go toward makin.;
a useful citizen of handicapped
youth. Those include care, hos
pitalization, early discovery, ear
ly diagnosis; also, the purchase
of braces and special equipment—
this insures a better chance of
having a body as nearly normal
as possible.
The sale of Easter Seals offers
an opportunity for all to share
In this important work of build
ing crippled children into happy
anu useful men and women.
The Easter Seal campaign for
crippled children for Stokes coun
ty is sponsored by the county
welfare department. Last year it
brought in a total of $146.52, one
half of which was sent to the N.
C. League for Crippled Children.
The list of schools which partic
ipated and the amount of contri
bution of each for last year was
as follows:
Sandy Ridge High School $16.13.
Francisco High School 6.00.
Reynolds High School 13.30.
Pine Hall High School 11.02.
Walnut Cove High School 16.43.
Pinnacle High School 13.48.
Germanton High School 13.00
King High School 16.32.
Lawsonville High School 2.64.
Danbury 3.16.
uteadows 3.02.
Dillard 1.38.
Walnut Cove Colored 7.05.
Department of Public Wel
fare 25.59.
Funds derived from the cam
paign were used to provide treai -
ment for crippled children unabi.'
to obtain it otherwise.
This year the sale is being pi',
on from March 2G to April 25. V"
feel that everyone will wish to
help in our campaign as generous
ly as in previous years.

• Any kid knows what the anchor man is there

[ During the nearly 40 years through which the \

DUKE POWER COMPANY;
Seed Money
There's 6nly one thing more foolish than kilting the goose that
lays the golden eggs. That's living up the money that has been
.put away to buy the seed for next year's crops.
Although G-E turbines and lamps and refrigerators don't
"grow from any seed you can buy at a seed store, yet any manu
facturer —no matter what he make* —has a seed problem just
the same. For next year's models, and improved designs, andj
'new products-all these cost money. Money for research, ami
'engineering, and new tools, and advertising to tell the public'
[where a product can be obtained, and how much it will cost.j
I And the only place this money can come from is out of past
or borrowing on the promise of earnings in the future,
tin other words-from seed money.
I From the seed of research and engineering, planted in years
'past by General Electric, have come some pretty amazing
crops. Incandescent lamps five times as efficient as Edison's,
'vacuum tubes that made radiobroadcasting possible, refriger
ators for the home and electric machines for industry to make
; important jobs easier.
: Right now the crops we're growing are all of the "Victory
Garden" kind-weapons that are serving with our armed forces
on land and sea and in the air.
But we mustn't neglect the seed money for the future. We're
looking forward to the continuance of the industrial system
that will allow us to open up and cultivate other new and prom
ising fields. So, tomorrow, look for important developments in
television, fluorescent lighting, plastics, electronics. These will
be familiar words in the post war world. GENERAL ELECTRIC
