Rotarians Open Camp Easter Seal in Saskatchewan
The formal opening marks Camp Easter Seal as Saskatchewan’s permanent home for the summer program for handicapped children and adults at Manitou Beach near Watrous.

The ceremony drew hundreds of Rotarians and about 400 guests, with Town officials welcoming the camp. The two month season serves an estimated 250 people with Miss M L Doc McColl directing the program. The dice fact line appears as an unrelated closing note.
