Here are his comments: "All of us are proud of the progress Ontario has made under the positive programs of the Robarts Government. We are proud, too, that Huron riding is sharing in these achievements." "But we must remember that there is a price tag as- sociated with progress and we must keep our taxes at a sensible level."

Lions donate equipment for eyes The senior contest was between the townships of USborne, Fuller- ton and Blanshard, and the men fron1 UsbOrne almost came up with an upset in that one. With coach, Clayt Smith urging them on, they engaged in a real thriller with Blanshard, and while the pull wasn't timed, most contestants on the two team s agreed it was close to an hour before Usborne won. Fullarton then had no trouble whipping Blanehard, and they were expected to easily whip a much smaller Usborne team. However, the Usborne lads came within a couple of Inches of pull- ing an upset before they started to give way to the powerful — and more experienced and equip- ped -- Fullerton squad. Members of the Usborne team were G er al d Brintnell, Garth Blackler, Edwin Shute, Albert Weernink, Reg McCurdy and Wes Neil. The other highlight of the day was the showing of the Kirkton 4-H Dairy Calf Club. Seventeen members competed for the three top prizes. Kathryn Simpson, RR 1 St. Marys, won the junior Holstein award, while Shirley Switzer, RR 1 St. Marys, turned it into a real day for the gals by hav- ing the best senior. Laird Ruston, RR 1 Mitchell, saved some honors for the male set as he won the top showman- ship award. The fair was officially opened by Huron MP Robert McKinley and fair president, Dr. Norm Amos. The Hon. C. S. MacNaugh- ton was asked to say a few words after being a member of the judg- ing team for the centennial cos- tumes. "Too many people take their eyes for granted," he reported. "They're the most precious gift we have." "The more pledges we have, the more assurance we have of getting the required number of eyes," he stated. In accepting the shipping con- tainer from the CNIB, Mr, Smith said the hospital would attempt to work with the Lions in this project. He said hospital of- ficials were sympathetic to the CNIB and all their needs. Present at the meeting were Miss Alice Claypole, Miss Myrtle Ninham and Mrs. Jack Delbridge, of the hospital staff, Doctor R. W. Read and Doctor Don Ecker were also in attendance. MATERIAL AVAILABLE After the meeting, LarrySnid- er reported that information re- garding The Eye Bank would be distributed throughout the area in doctors' offices and at the hospital. P ledge cards are available from any Lions member or by writing the CNIB at Tweedsmuir Hall, London. ON THE INCREASE Prior to his remarks on The Eye Bank, Mr. Clements gave a general talk on the work of the CNIB, pointing out there were 25,800 blind Canadians and that blindness was on the increase on a per capita basis. "Blindness can strike any- where, any time to any person," he pointed out, adding that 2,000 Canadians a year lose their eye- sight. "Half of that is unneces- sary," he stated, "as it's due to carelessness and ignorance". The Lions were told the CNIB expend as much time and money on prevention work as they do with the blind. They speak to s tudent groups and industrial groups, telling them of the daily habits that are dangerous to the eyes. — Continued from front page it is in no way binding or oblig- atory that the eyes be removed upon death. The decision is really up to a person's next of kin, The eyes of a deceased person must be removed within eight hours and used within 48 hours after removal, Mr. Clements noted the eyes could be removed by any medical practitioner and is a ov e r y simple process", He suggested some special kits were available and at the meeting the Lions voted to investigate the need and cost of this equipment with a view to obtaining it for use of area doctors. The eyes are then placed in special capsules in the shipping container, which is then filled with ice. It is shipped to either Toronto or London, where a doct- or has been notified that a ship- ment is coming and a patient is prepared for the graft. Mr. Clements explained there were 1,500 Canadians who could have sight or at least partial sight — restored by corneal graft "and there's never enough tissue available when needed most". He said there were never less than six people on the list wait- ing for transplant operations and generally there were over 20, He said all operations were surgically successful, although few restore full vision. "But even the slightest improvement is a tremendous comfort to a blind person," he pointed out. "Blindness is a shattering and devastating thing to happen to a person," Mr. Clements went on, "and there is no greater gift than to give a person the gift of sight." One of his colleagues in the CNIB had been blind for 18 years and had never seen some of his children when he underwent the operation one year ago. With this operation and another perform- ed this summer on the other eye, this chap now sees very well and "he can't believe this wond- erful thing has happened to him." are no good for transplants, but they can still be used for re- search work, which is going on constantly to make the opera- tions even more successful. "No eyes are wasted," he explained, and added that while only the cornea was used, oth- er portions of the eyes are used for other operations and ex- perimental work. Mr. Clements pointed out the removal of the eyes in no way disfigures the corpse. "No one will know the eyes are not there," he stated. He urged that persons pledg- ing their eyes to The Eye Bank make their minister, friends, family and doctor aware of the decision so their wishes will be carried out upon their death. It was explained it was im- portant to get as many pledges as possible, because only a small portion of eyes were received from pledges. This is due to the fact it is often forgotten at the time of death, plus the fact peo- ple get killed in accidents away from their homes. He noted there were about 30 persons present at the Lions meeting, and predicted that if all signed pledges, The Eye Bank would be lucky to get two or four eyes from the group. "This is why it's so important to get as many pledges signed as possible," he stated, adding that many survivors will not agree to the removal of the eyes even though a pledge has been signed. ALL EYES USED Mr. Clements explained that all eyes received at The Eye Bank are checked very care- fully before transplant to make as certain as possible that the operation will be successful. He pointed out the eyes of persons who die through cancer Motorcycle, car collide on street A motorcycle slid into the rear of a car on Exeter's Main St. Friday afternoon, but the rider escaped without any in- juries. Theresa O'Brien, RR 3 Dash- wood, was proceeding north on Main St. and stopped near the Exeter bowling greens and the bike, being driven by Ronald K. Durand, 10'7 Anne St., Exeter, slid into her vehicle as he fail- ed to get stopped behind her. Cpl, Harry VanBergan report- ed the motorcycle sustained dam- age estimated at $50.
