Man regains sight after 23 years WING HAM - Maurice Dennis, who has regained his sight after almost 24 years of blindness, looks at it as a mixed blessing rather than a miracle. Mr. Dennis underwent two delicate operations last year at London's University Hospital to repair damage to his left eye caused by a hemorrage. The right eye is irrepairable. His last look at the world was April 23, 1959, the day he suddenly went blind while working at Lloyd's factory in Wingham. Last year he saw again for the first time since then and he said it virtually was like waking up on another planet. Mr. Dennis has cleat recollections of what life was like in 1959 and said he Attention Farmers WE PAY '20. TO '50. PER HUNDRED WEIGHT FOR OLD, RECENTLY INJURED OR CRIPPLED COWS AND STEERS.

But he did not and this "brave new world" shocked and depressed him. Always an outdoorsman, he found the strong, healthy trees he remembered were shrunken and diseased. Gone too were the sparkling clear rivers of 24 years ago and in their places are black, polluted ones. The biggest joy he has experienced is seeing his l, fe and two daughters Jane ( rs. Scott Mitchell) and Dianne (Mrs. Robert Darling). In fact, he had never seen his younger daughter until last year and his older daughter had been only six years old when her father became blind; today she has children of her own.
