CASTLEGAR NEWS “Here let the press the people ‘s hts m: ) UDAW influence and unbribed by gla” Page Four — Thursday, March 28, 1974 Faster Seals Help Children Go fo Camp Summer camping’ seems a long way. off right now and will probably become more alluring as we move further away from winter towards the warmer days of spring and the bright sunshine of summer. Camping conjures up a lot of images: boat- ing, swimming, hiking, archery, arts and crafts, ° and sing-songs around a night time fire. Years ago disabled children could dream about all of that and never expect it to come true. However, the B.C, Lions Society for Crippled Children operates three Easter Seal Camps, and.this summer as in past’ summers, + about 700 disabled youngsters will be at those ean having fun just like any normal boy or Lethe society owns and operates two of the camps, Chehalis Camp near Agassiz, and Winfield Camp near Winfield, and leases Cowichan Camp on Vancouver Island.’ Disabled children from all over B.C. and the Yukon come to these ‘camps every year for ‘a camping experience designed especially for them. ‘The programs which are not very different from those taking place at other summer camps, are directed by: specially trained recreational ‘personnel and supervised by senior high school and university students’ whom the society employs every camping season. ety, which is presently conducting its annual Easter Seal Appeal, assesses a small fee to parents, or to other agencies which work with the children. However, should a parent not be able to afford even the small set fees, the society will subsidize the child out of the Easter Seal Fund. Last year the program and operating costs were over $100,000 and the fee assessments amounted to less than 26 per cent of that. ie ‘The camping service, like many other of the , society's services, is beginning’ a phase of growth» and _, expansion. Chehalis Camp. is a major and anew camp, which looks as though it will be a prototype of, innovative camping for \ the handicapped, will be evolved. Part of this re-development is being financed by. an LIP grant, but the society is’ locking to the’ |” government and to tho public’ for financial support of the additions and modifications to the camp site and facilities, ‘The society is also seriously considering building a’ new camp in the central ‘northern interior, because all of its existing camps are : being used to capacity and eager handicapped J: - youngsters are having.to be turned away. ‘This project, too, will have to be financed through public support. ~.° The. camping season at the Easter Seal Camps will be getting under way very. soo! in. “Applications for attendance can be acquired through the society's main office in Vancouver, or its branch offices’ in Victoria and Sorrento. In Castlegar, Jim Penman, president of the, Selkirk Lions: Club, ‘or’ Paul Kinakin, who is chairman of the © local club's ‘Easter Seal. can provide ‘i about the camps.and the Easter Seal Campaign. Local Lions are actively concerned with it. ‘ The Liberty Papers PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND ECOLOGY By Delbert Doll It is fashionable in some. circles, to: blame: the private enterpriser for the sorry state of the world’s env ronment ‘It It’s My Second Trip i in 30 Years Canadians, ‘weary of win. ter, are. taking of Sugar’ and spice the ‘school winter break in ever-increasing numbers to . get: away from the true north, strong and freezing.
