Medical Center in Indianapolis. Eye donations in the state and in the nation are not keeping pace with the need. The cornea is the clear, dimesized disc which sits atop the pupil and the iris of the eye. When it becomes clouded, scarred or misshapen, light cannot pass through and sight is impaired. The success rate of a corneal transplant is now over 90 percent, but they only substitute for one human cornea is another. Most people are very willing to donate their eyes upon death, to restore the sight of another, but they fail to tell their family of this wish. Next-of-kin must always give permission before any organ can be taken, and the eye must be removed within six hours after death. Discussing with family or physician one's wishes to donate his eyes will assure that it is more likely to happen. In addition to the cornea, other parts of the eye such as the vitreous, the gel-like substance that fills the eyeball, and the sclrea, the white outer covering of the eye, are used. Eyes which cannot be used for a transplant are used for research and teaching. ! i TO WED IN OCTOBER — Donald and Diane Weaver. Syracuse, announce the engagement of their daughter.

LOUISA'S LETTER
Dear Louisa, I hear so many women complaining about their husbands wanting to stay home all of the time. Because a man wants to come home at night and rest after a hard day’s work, they seem to think it is awful. I just want to say that a husband like that would suit me fine and that if some of these complaining women had a husband like mine who wants to be going somewhere all the time, they would get mighty tired of it -R.R.-T.N.

Answer: Isn’t it funny how hard it is to please people? Some women weep because their husbands never take them anywhere and here is one who is bemoaning the fact that her husband wants to be going somewhere all the time. However, if we have married a person whose likes and desires are not ours, it would be a good idea to compromise on activities. —Louisa Address: Louisa. Box 532, Orangeburg, S.C. 29115
