An oculist will supervise distribution. Because of limited optical facilities, many West Indian children have never had their eyes tested. The operation is jointly sponsored by the Georgian College of Applied Arts and Technology, Penetanguishene, and the Ontario Department of Education's Special Projects Unit. It joins Project ;School -to -School, a twinning program for an' exchange of projects between Ontario and Caribbean students, and Operation School Supplies which provides Caribbean students with used furniture, books and equipment. '' `'The 35-stird�efit$;` 'who comprise Ontario's only optical technology class at Penetanguishene, enthusiastically greeted the opportunity to gain some practical experience in optometry. They say they want to become more closely involved with the operation as it grows. They will work on the glasses and repair frames. For instance, they will inspect each pair and identify the proper lens densities and frame dimensions. After they measure. these details, the optical technicians will list them on a card which will be attached to the frames for export to the Caribbean. Those who will benefit first will be children on' Turk Island with a population of 6000. Turk Island is north east of the Dominican Republic. A request has been made to the Canadian Medical Association to appoint an oculist to • visit the island. The CMA sends a doctor to the island for three months each year.. ADULTS HELPED TOO! Reg'Johnston, project coordinator, says he hopes Operation Eyeglass will be a continuing program. It will extend to other islands : and possibly to the adult population. To get the ball rolling, circulars will be distributed to schools throughout Ontario. Although the scheme is aimed mainly at children, it is open to --all interested citizens, similar to a program launched by the Runnymede Lions Club which sends glasses to India. Already, Marian Villa in London, Ontario, a home for senior citizens, has 49nated one carton con ly4g,w5O,4pairs of glasses. The collection had been mounting for years. The administrator of Turk Island, the Honourable R. E. Wainwright, has put his full support behind the 'program. He's promised full cooperation from schools on the island. '4. WHAT TO DO WITH USED GLASSES After. many months , of planning, Special Projects officials have handed over the operation to the college which has procured suitable equipment and facilities. The students are the distribution agents. They will accept glasses, lenses and frames in any condition and of all sizes and shapes. Send them to: Operation Eyeglass; c/o Operation School Supplies, 32 Grenville St., Fifth Floor, Toronto, Ontario. 40:itiv:iviv:10,:ocioriouggivAocipliovior.ortlovio=wvi STILL 7 DAYS LEFT/t1---"\ STI�� wiOi�io.9,4yT8let44 i LOTS OF TOYS IN TOYLAND '444 LARGE ASSORTMENT OF: * CLOTHES HAMPERS * BATHROOM SCALES * TV TABLES PRICED a FROM $7,97 * POOL TABLES FROM $23.97 * LEWY T VACUUM •• CLEANERS * KITCHEN STEP STOOLS * CHRISTMAS BULBS 'AND 114 DECORATIONS FOR INDOORS AND OUTDOORS * POWER TOOLS * FIREPLACE ACCESSORIES * TOBOGGANS, SLEIGHS, ETC.
