Show Drive Begun For Aid To Crippled Children f - ' Hv ( s ..."-' . Spy i.- 8 J 'J K' ,. X ' " V , . I - I w$T' Xjf ft Henry J. Riggert of Salt Lake City, Chairman of the 1948 Easter Seal Campaign, explains to 4-year-old Judy how the sale of Easter Seals helps her and other crippled children. "Be a Good Egg and Help Crippled Children ..." This is the slogan for the 1948 Easter Seal campaign, which opens March 1 st as a fund-raising drive by the Utah Society for the Physically Handi- capped. Governor Herbert B. Maw has proclaimed the month of March as National Easter Seal Month, "in order that the people of this state be moved to support the Easter Seal Sale and give generously to help the crippled children of Utah." , Henry J. Riggert, assistant traffic traf-fic manager, Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad company, is chairman of the 1948 Easter Seal Sale. The aim of this year's drive, he' said, is to raise enough funds to permit badly needed expansion of facilities and staff of the Utah treatment center. The present clinic, located at 168 Regent street, in Salt Lake City, can accommodate only a small fraction of deserving crippled children chil-dren of Utah, he pointed out, and there is a tragically long waiting list. Cooperating with Mr. Riggert in this year's campaign are Maurice Warshaw, president of the Utah Socity, and Mrs. Alida C. Dixon, executive director. Every home in Utah will be reached by an appeal letter from the society, together with a sheet of Easter Seals. "Every Easter Seal you buy," Mr. Riggert emphasized, empha-sized, "brings a share of happiness happi-ness and hope to a crippled child in Utah." |
