M .y ow Enjoy Sight Through Fine Services of Eye Bank of Canada 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.

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.
