M .y ow Enjoy Sight Through Fine

cently have been removed, often
as a result of an accident to an-
other part of the eye. A few
years ago it was discovered that
eyes from a recently deceased
person could also be used to pro-
vide material for corneal trans-
plants. In order to use the eyes
of a recently deceased person, they
must be removed as soon after
death as possible—not longer than
six hours.
To help in the fight to restore
sight, The Canadian National In-
stitute for the Blind has set up
an organization called The Eye
Bank of Canada the first divisions
of which are now operating in
Ontario and Quebec. Working with
some of the most skilled medical
eye specialists in the country, the
CNIB makes arrangements for
eyes no longer useful to one person
Many hundreds of Canadians
cannot now enjoy the miracle of
complete sight because of a cloudy
condition of the exterior surface
of the eye, which markedly reduc-
es vision. Medical science has per-
fected a. way by which light and
thus perfect sight can be brought
to these visually handicapped
people. The clouded surface which
really is part of the eye called the
'"cornea" can be removed and re-
placed with clear material from
one eye to another. This is called
corneal graft, or transplant, and
has been successfully done scores
of times. The new cornea grows
into the once blind eye and in
fact becomes part of it. It is just
like having a pane of frosted glass
replaced with a clear one. The
supply of cornea must come from
healthy human eyes that very re -
MR. AND MRS. GEORGE ALEXANDER DENOMME
were married at Assumption Grotto in Detroit on October

couple will reside in Detroit. (Citizens News Photo)
FALL RALLY of the Stratford District Luther League of Canada was held in St.
Peter's Lutheran Church, Zurich, on Sunday, November 9, and was attended by over 100
young people. President of the group, Louis Willert, and the treasurer, Eleanor Prang,
are welcoming the first two delegates to arrive at the roily. The visitors are Shirley
Baumback and Phyliss Ratz, both of the Stratford Luther League. (Citizens News Photo)
No Luck
Ivan Yungblut, Earl Yungblut,
Ferd Haberer and Jake Haberer,
returned from a week's hunting
trip to the Peterborough district
on Sunday. The deer were not too
plentiful this year, is the report
given by the hunters. There were
eight men in their gang, and only
one deer was shot amongst the
whole .group. Ferd Haberer tells
of shooting at a bear, but he miss-
ed.
to be used to help restore sight
in another. Hospitals have been
given special containers in which
to carefully pack the eyes for
their speedy trip to the Eye Bank
for examination. If the eye is
satisfactory for sight saving, it is
again rushed to an eye specialist,
perhaps in another area, who has
been alerted by telephone to pre-
pare his patient for surgery that
may result in new sight. The clear
cornea is removed from the donor
eye and transplanted into the eye
of the waiting patient who now
stands a better then ever chance
of seeing again, perhaps even bet-
ter than he has ever seen before.
You can help in this humani-
tarian work and at the same time
ensure that part of one of your
most precious gifts—Tour sight—
has been offered to help the blind
see again. In most cases your gift
will live on, a lasting memorial
to your concern for others. What
better legacy to leave? You can
help build a supply of eyes for the
future by signing up to leave
your eyes at death to the Eye
Bank. The procedure is simple. It
requires your own signature and
that of your next of kin; your
doctor should also know of your
intention. The identification card
issued by the Eye Bank, when
properly completed, is all that is
necessary. Talk it over with your
loved ones, your clergyman, and
your doctor. You will find there
are no religious or medical objec-
tions to leaving your eyes so that
someone may be offered a chance
to see again. The heads of the
Christian and Jewish faiths, scien-
tists and prominent people like El-
eanor Roosevelt and Lady Church-
ill have endorsed the idea with en-
thusiasm. The rest is up to you.
