Dear Sir;
The evening of March i9, 1986, a year To
and a half ago, remains so unforgettable.
That was when my doctor came to ex-
amine me after cataract surgery and to
remove the bandages covering my eye.
My first response was to glance at my
roommate's television sit to see a clear.
bright picture with vivid color. My surgery
was successful and my immediate reac-
tion was to thank God for the gift of
restored eyesight.
This year, as we celebrate Thanksgiving
Day, the majority of us in this great coun-
try of ours have different things to be
thankful for. However, let us not forget
that many others are less fortunate than
ourselves. Ijn thinking of the millions of
blind people in the Developing World.
There is a small Canadian charity, Opera-
tion Eyesight Universal, that is helping
thousands of these people by restoring
them to sight.
Make this thanksgiving a special day to
remember by making a $25 tax deductible
donation to Operation Eyesight Universal,
P.O. Box 123, Stn. M, Calgary, Alberta,
T2P 2H6. Your contribution will pay for
one patient's cataract surgery, drugs,
hospitalization, special glasses and follow-
up care.
Picture the smiles and joyful grati, ude
of the ones who were at one time blind and
then, through your generous contribution,
again able to see their loved ones and the
beauty of our earth.
You will be sent an income tax receipt
for your contribution as well as a patient
identification card signed by the attending
physician including the name, age, and sex
of the person whom you gave sight and
new life.
This Thanksgiving, I invite you to join
the team of many native surgeons, nurses,
hospital workers and volunteer workers
who give so much time and effort in help-
ing the destitute blind people see again. I
am certain your contribution will enrich
your Thanksgiving Day celebrations.
Faithfully yours,
Nickolas Masikewich

Too good to be true
Toronto - The Ontario Provincial Police
is warning all credit card holders not to
reveal their card numbers to telephone
solicitors offering exotic vacations at
bargain prices.
Police forces across Ontario have
recently been flooded with complaints
from people who have received telephone
pitches from Houston, Texas based travel
organizations, some of which are currently
being investigated by American
authorities.
The caller, claiming to represent one of
the numerous travel firms, begins the
pitch by saying you have been selected,
because you are a preferred bank
customer with a sound credit rating, to
take a trip anywhere in the world for as lit-
tle as $369.00 (U.S. ). All you have to do is
give him your credit card number and wait
for a vacation package to arrive in the
mail.
The caller will deceptively recite the
first three digits- of your credit card
number and you "confirm it with the re-
maining ten digits. Some people fall for
this ploy not realizing the first three
numbers are merely a regional code con-
tained on all cards issued in your area, and
the caller really has no knowledge of your
credit rating.
What the card holder doesn't realize un-
til funds have been debited from the ac-
count, is that the package sent by mail con-
tains a" Purchase Acknowledgment
Agreement" stating details that were not
mentioned over the telephone.
In the event you wish to travel with so-
meone, the"Agreement" states that a se-
cond flight ticket will cost considerably
more, must be booked within 18 months
and that your money is non-refundable.
A legitimate travel firm will mail all
necessary travel details free of charge
without demanding your credit card
number. If the offer seems too good to be
true, it probably -is.
