They will have a special meaning for him. He will remember how it was to grope in darkness after the accident which blinded him when he was twelve vears old.” He will remember his despair. He will remember the School for the Blind, and the painstaking acquisition of skills, his hands fumbling with the unseen materials, his tactile senses slowly taking on a more and more accuracy, his body developing the sixth : sense which is the safeguard of the blind. He will remember the cane (they told him it was white) with which he tapped his way across the street as he grew into manhood, still blind, still dependent. And then (for he is one of the lucky ones) he will remember the day the telephone rang, and his father took a message, "He had been on the waiting list for a corneal trans- plant for years. Slowly, he had moved up the list of those who were hoping for light. The surgeons had been ready at any time, but materials were wanting. The Eye Bank requires human help, human interest, human cooperation. Corneas cannot be manufactured. Eyes are rationed, two to a lifetime. It is within the power of every sighted human being to pass on the priceless gift to another human being. All it requires from the donor is a signed card, stat- ing that when he no longer needs his eyes, they may be taken after his death, and given to somebody who is in dire need of them. The middle-aged man will remember with utter gratitude the man who gave him the supreme gift of sight, after those years of darkness. He will never know who it was who willed his eyes that another might see. We remember one such man, an author and an editor, standing on a mountainside at the head of a beautiful valley in Ireland, and looking down at the breath-taking view. He turned silently, and slipped coins into a box. The sign said, simply, ‘Please contribute to the well-being of those who are not as fortunate as you are. Those who will never see the marvelous view which you have enjoyed.” A scant six months before, he could not have seen the valley, nor read the printed sign. Six months before, devoted friends had piloted him about. And then came that telephone call: “We have the corneas. Can you come to the hospital at once?” TRANSFUSION OF NEW INK ~ Considering the recent hike in postal rates, we feel that the Post offices all over the United States could well give their stamping machines a transfusion of new ink. Maybe it is just as well that we don’t know quite how long our mail has been in transit. Could be ignorance is bliss. But it’s exasperating not to be able to make out a postmark. : There are certain documents where the postmark is necessary, in proof of a certain date of mailing. The postmark renders such a communication legal or illegal, depending on how faint the postmark is. Doubtless post offices use ink by the ton, considered on the basis of a nation-wide network. That extra cent we are paying for first class mail and for postcards ought to go a long way toward defraying the cost of the ink. Dr. Donald E. Getz CHIROPRACTOR announces that, effective June 1, 1968, hours will be by appointment only. 61 Church Street Dallas, Penna.
