General note
Photo caption from published version of 53-5115_001: "PLEASANT TASK - Rotary Club members across the continent had a pleasant task this week - distributing Christmas gifts to the plucky crippled children aided during the year by the club's project to provide specialized medical care. Charles Whitney, chairman of Preston-Hespeler Rotary Club's committee, is seen delivering gifts to Beverley Evers, 12, one of the 99 children under the care of his branch."
General note
“Crippled” is an outdated and pejorative term used historically to refer to individuals with a physical disability. The use of the term in the file title has been maintained in keeping with Special Collections & Archives’ approach to language in archival descriptions, which prioritizes speaking openly about and clearly identifying problematic, harmful, and otherwise offensive records in the department’s holdings. This approach, while potentially upsetting, allows for the critical assessment and questioning of historical material by contemporary researchers.
