During the observance of September as Sight-Saving Month, the Wilkes-Barre Branch, Pennsylvania Association for the Blind reminds you to always re- member the importance of preven- tion. It is estimated that 90% of all eye injuries are preventable, and that 45% of them occur around the home. Whether you are at home, school, work or play, you should always be aware of the best ways to protect your sight. When an injury occurs, it is difficult for the average person to determine the severity of the damage. Because the eye is su- persensitive to pain, even an eye- lash or a piece of dirt inside the lids can cause extreme discomfort. Therefore, it is often difficult to assess the extent of an eye injury. It is always important to have an eye doctor examine an injured eye immediately after first aid is ad- ministered. Routine eye examinations play an extremely important role in protecting the precious gift of sight. Many times symptoms of eye dis- eases are not always noticeable, making it difficult to obtain early treatment and thus, decreasing chances of preventing vision loss. Three of the leading causes of blind- ness are macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopa- thy. The Wilkes-Branch, Pennsylva- nia Association for the Blind is a private, nonprofit, charitable or- ganization founded in 1918 upon two basic precepts: the support and promotion of the interests of the blind and the prevention of blindness. After 70 years of serv- ice, the same emphasis on helping the blind and preventing blind- ness remains the central focus of all its programs and services. They are available to all eligible indi- viduals without regard to race, color, religious creed, ancestry, national origin, age, sex or handi- cap. For more information, write to the Wilkes-Barre Branch, Penn- sylvania Association for the Blind, 63 N. Franklin St., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18701.

The purpose of this local Chap- ter of the Audubon Society is to promote, foster and encourage the conservation and preservation of all wildlife, plants, soil, water, air and other natural resources for the benefit of the community; to promote and arouse through edu- cation and public recognition of the value of and the need for pres- ervation, protection, and wise use of all our natural resources; and, to foster the preservation of an adequate stock of native animals and plants so that no species may become threatened with extinction. The Chapter currently has a membership of 402 members, 42 of whom are new subscribers. The National Audubon Society is a conservation organization of more than 500,000 members working at international, national, regional, state and local levels toward the preservation and wise rn m——— @ use of our heritage. Membership in the National Audubon Society includes the monthly magazine, AUDUBON, and automatically entitles the person to membership in the Local Chapter. Among the current projects undertaken by the Chapter are Audubon Adventures, which is a study of nature programs offered to elementary students grades 3 thru 6. The first year is provided by the Chapter and the cost is a minimal $30 per year thereafter. The Conservation Committee is involved in several local projects. In July, a number of members joined a group at the Penn State Campus in Lehman to help with the cleanup of the'arboretum: The arboretum has many unusualtrees and will be used as an educational location as well s a source of enjoy- ment for the students and the community. Also, a coalition was formed with the Susquehanna River Watch called Friends of the Nesbitt/Kirby Riverfront Natural Area. The purpose of the coalition is to work toward preserving the wilderness area on the river side of the dike in Kirby Park, to make this area safe and pleasant for the public, and to help see it utilized as an educational resource. In August, the committee pre- sented Moon Lake Nature Center with a display of several bird nests and bird specimens. The nests were hand painted by Anita Stanko, one ofthe Chapter members. The Na- ture Center, located at Luzerne County’s Moon Lake Park is in its third year and 20,000 people have used the facility this year. Members and the general pub- lic are invited to the meetings and programs.

Holiday theatre arts workshop set for youths The Music Box Players will conduct a Holiday Workshop for Kids-ages 8 to 13 covering all aspects of Theatre Arts. The work- shop will begin on Saturday, Sept. 30 and continue until Dec. 13. #4 Each session will be held on Satur- = days from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon. The last two sessions will be on Tuesday and Wednesday, Decem- ber 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. These will be the dates of the workshop per- formance, a production starring the members of the workshop. During the course of the work- shop, Debbie Zehner and Kevin Costley will head a staff of teachers and theatre technicians who will ; instruct the students in the basics of stage movement and mime, set construction and painting, make- up and costuming. Alsoduring the _ sessions, the children will rehearse their own show to be performed before the general public. Children will also have an opportunity to see first-hand how a play is re- hearsed and mounted on the stage, as they witness the progress of the children’s production of Rumples- tiltskin and the Main-stage pro- duction of Annie. Along the way, kids can expect to learn how to speak with expres- sion, and express themselves, non- vocally, through mime and move- ment. Many will find themselves more interested in backstage ac- tivities-such as scenery construc- tion, special effects and lighting, make-up and costumes. Whether children prefer the backstage or the footlights, the Music Box Work- 4 shop has proven to be fun and educational. : The fee for the Workshop is $100 per child. Interested parents should call the Playhouse Box Office at 283-2195, Tuesdays through Sat- urdays 10a.m. to 6 p.m. The dead- line for enrollment is Tuesday, September 19. [.
