To the editor:
I have learned during my family TO
research that my grandfather and his
brother were born in Lucknow. His name
was Edward Russel MacKay (1871-1943)
and his brother's name was Malcolm
MacKay.
Their father's name was John MacKay,
mother's name, Elizabeth Isabella Camp-
bell. I have no dates for these two people.
They arrived in Lucknow prior to the
birth of Edward and Malcolm with at least
three other sons, Hugh, James and Angus
and probably one daughter.
It is very possible John MacKay and his
wife Elizabeth are buried in the Lucknow
area. Their religion is given as
Presbyterian.
If any of your readers have any informa-
tion on this family I would appreciate
hearing from them.
Sincerely,
Donna MacKay,

To the Editor:
Spring flowers, green grass, leafy trees
usher in this season of new life. What a
delight to look around and enjoy all of the
spring beauty. Did you know that there are
forty two million people in the Developing
World who cannot enjoy this glory, and the
sad thing is thirty million are needlessly
blind.
In the fall of 1987, I visited India and
Bangladesh with my husband. We visited
Operation Eyesight Universal sponsored
hospitals and eye camps, where sight -
giving cataract operations were
performed.
I held a happy, once -blind four-year-old
girl, who will now be able to return to her
village and romp and play with her
friends. I held the hand of a seven-year-old
boy as he received the injection in his tem-
ple in preparation for cataract surgery. He
was looking forward to school and learn-
ing. A sixty -year-old woman will now be
able to see her grandson and a man is look-
ing forward to returning to work to support
his family. There were so many quiet, ban-
daged patients all awaiting the day when
the bandages would be removed - the final
step in this trip from darkness into light.
Operation Eyesight Universal is a
registered Canadian Charity carrying on
very intensive blindness prevention pro-
grams, working m 13 countries of the
Developing World, bringing light and new
life to the destitute blind.
Something happened in Chittagong,
Bangladesh that I would like to share with
your readers. We attended a District
Meeting of Lions, Lionesses and Leos
Clubs. As the meeting ended and we head-
ed for the exit, the lights went out. We were
feeling our way along in the darkness when
a gentle voice said, "Take my hand, I will
lead you." A Leo guided me safely down
the aisle and up the few steps to the lobby.
The lights came on, he disappeared into
the crowd and we were whisked off to our
next appointment.
Later, as I went over this brief encounter
with darkness, I realized that this is what
Operation Eyesight is all about. Operation
Eyesight Universal, with the help of the
people of Canada is saying to the destitute
blind of the world - "Take our hands, we
will lead you from darkness into light."
A twenty-five dollar cheque will take one
person on this journey to new life. Will you
extend a helping hand? Donations may be
sent to Operation Eyesight Universal, P.O.
Box 123, Stn. `M', Calgary, Alberta, T2P
2H6.
At this Easter Time, as we remember
God's great gift of His Son to all the world,
may'we show our real Love by helping so-
meone for Jesus' sake - someone who can
never return the favor.
Happy Easter,
Elizabeth MacDonald
