ings, 10 a. m.-to 1 p. m.; after

monuments and one of America’s
finest examples of early industrial

the Center, Betsy could not even
sit alone. First, her doctor pre
scribed long leg braces and exer
cises. Now she has “graduated” to
short leg braces, which means that
her braces are only kneelength.
Betsy’s rehabilitation is being
brought about by a skilled team
of professionally trained experts
in several fields.
Chosen to represent the more
than 2,742 children and adults in
South Carolina who have been
aided by the Easter Seal Society,
Betsy is outgoing, intelligent, vig
orous, ambitious and inquisitve,
able and anxious to hold her own
in any group.
Taken to an Easter Seal Rally
recently, she raised her dimpled
hands and blew kisses to the vol
unteers. This completely won their
hearts, and then they were even
more touched when she called gaily
“I love you ALL and Blaster
Seals!”
The Annual Easter Seal Cam
paign begins March 10 and con
tinues through April 10 in every
bounty in South Carolina and
throughout the nation, the District
of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii and
Pperto Rico.
