Vann of Camilla, of District spoke to the Donalson ville Lions Club this week. Vann told of the great need for more donations to the eye .bank program sponsored by the Lions Clubs of Georgia. Under the Lions’ program, a person can donate his eyes —for use after his death—to bring sight to those who can not see. An eye which has been do nated serves three purposes, Vann said. If it is a good eye, in good condition, it is used for a transplant. If it has a cataract or other defect, the fluid in the eye can be used, j Third, it can be used for re- 1 search and study- The person whose sight is saved by the program could be your child or grandchild, the speaker said. Vann conducted a test us ing strips of cloth which were passed to each person present. After they placed the rags as a blindfold, Vann asked them to pick up a fork and knife, then stand, and to sit down. Finally he told the audience to try to light a cigarette while blindfolded. “This may seem to be a, childish demonstration, but it' gives some idea of how it is to be blind, and you can see, it’s not a very convenient thing,” he said. This year each member of a Lions Club in the state will receive a letter asking the member to donate his eyes to the Georgia Light house for the Blind. “Make it a Christmas present to your fellowman, by signing a card to join the eye bank program,” Vann said.
