Put your hand in
your pocket, m’friend
Leigh Anne, 4, was born with spinal
bifida—partly paralyzed from the waist
down. She is learning to walk-and care
for herself at the -Easter Seal‘‘Center in
Villa Park, Illinois^
This is a fine little girl. Full
of love and hope, and so
spunky she almost breaks
your hearty The world
needs people like her. But
right now she needs people
like you. People who be-
lieve in helping people.
Her therapy and special
training cost more than
her folks can afford. The
Easter Seals you use pay
the difference. So put
your hand in your pocket,
m’friend. Your share is
about $2.
I thank you.
Jimmy Durante
The Easter Seals you use enable the Easter
Seal Society, at more than a thousand
clinics and centers, to help people fight
against the effects of these crippling dis-
orders: crippling accidents, poliomyelitis,
strokes, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis,
muscular dystrophy, arthritis, birth deformi-
ties, speech defects and many others. If
you know of someone who needs this kind
of help, send them to your local Easter Seal
Chapter.
