Reader Urges Eye Donations
Editor, The Jewish News:
There are over 275 people
in Michigan that are blind or
are progressively going blind.
The sad fact about this is
that these people can regain
100 per cent of their sight. I
hope to impress people with
the need, the importance, the
meaning and the knowhow
in donating one's eyes or
someone's close to them (hus-
band's, son's, daughter's
etc.).
I have been legally blind
for 31/2 years and have been
waiting for 20 months—more
than 1 1/2 years — for a call
from the ophthalmologist say-
ing he has received a donor
eye suitable for a corneal
transplant: the grafting of

the clear part of the eye
from a donor to a person with
a deformed cornea.
Does removal of the eyes
mar the appearance of the
body? No. Removal of eyes
is carefully done.
Eyes for transplants have
to be removed within two to
four hours after death. They
are good for corneal trans-
plants for approximately 24
to 48 hours. In the event a
patient is not available with-
in the time limit needed to
use fresh tissue, the eyes are
shipped to eye-banks to allow
for redistribution elsewhere.
It takes an enormous
amount of sagacity and cour-
age to comprehend the re-
sulting good of donating eyes
at death at a time when most
people fall into shock or des-
pair.
I cannot help but think how
the 22-year-old donor of a
transplant of mine felt.
I was told he was suffering
from multiple sclerosis and
wasn't expected to live to be
a teen-ager; and yet when he
entered the hosptital for the
last time he knew he might
be helping a blind person to
have the one thing he never
had — knormal healthy life.

Employes on Strike
BUENOS AIRES (JTA)-
Employes of the Argentine
Keren Hayesod have been
staging a slowdown to protest
against what. they claim are
low salaries and lack of ad-
vancement.
In an advertisement in the
Jewish weekly, "Mundo Is-
raelita," some 50 adminis-
trative employes said: "Our
demands have not been lis-
tened to and have been de-
layed."
The slowdown and sit-down
strikes have been going on
for 16 days completely para-
lyzing the KH here.
Intensive efforts are being
made to solve the situation
but up to now the employes
have not accepted any of the
offers made.
