Help to Eliminate Such Scenes

In too many communities this is an unfamiliar scene—that of crippled
tots being safely bundled off to school. In order to provide transportation
for the great majority of crippled children unable to attend school because
they can’t get there, and to give crippled children other opportunities for a
better life, the Chowan Society for Rehabilitation, tinder the direction of
Chairman W. J. Taylor, is making plans to make a record sale of Easter
seals as part of a nation-wide drive. They will cost only a penny each, and
everybody is urged to help in this worthy undertaking.
