DMambw 17, 1981KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Pag* 3A December has been selected as “Eye Bank Month” by the North Carolina Lions Associa tion for the Blind and the North Carolina Eye & Human Tissue Bank. During this month, a con centrated effort will be made by all Lions Club members to ob tain donor pledges. ‘The need for corneal tissue is a large and urgent one" accor ding to Mrs. Frances T. Hughes, program coordinator for the Eyes Bank. ‘There are over 200 patients on the waiting list and the wait may be a long one if the public does not respond affir matively”, she said. When a donor dies and no longer needs eye tissue, it can be quickly removed by trained technicians or physicians. In Winston-Salem, arrangements will be made for the transporta tion of the tissue to the hospital that the patient will enter. “Human tissue is never bought or sold” said Mrs. Helen Bunce, Executive Director of the Eye Bank, “and there is never any ex pense to the donor’s family for removal of tissue”. If more people were aware of Councilmen Attend Meeting From Page 1-A Childers said citizens would be required to put their garbage containers on the side of the street and the city would have to work out a program of collect the garbage of persons unable to place their own containers on the street. The KM commissioners were in Detroit during the time that Libya i assassins were supposed to be crossing the Detroit River from Canada into the U.S. “We were staying across the river in Windsor, Canada,” Childers noted, “and could see the Convention Center from our hotel. But it took us 30 to 45 minutes to get to the center because of ^oing {hrough customs. Pfficflrs on bbth the"' Canada and U.S. side' would come on board the shuttlebus and ask to see some identifica tion of all the passengers. That was an experience in itself.” The Kings Mountain group helped elect Feard Harrison of Scotland Neck, N.C., to the presidency of the National League of Cities. Scotland Neck’s population is 2,900. “It’s not often you see a small city man elected President of the Na tional League of Cities,” Childers said. Ring Bells The Kings Mountain Ministerial Association will be ringing bells to solicit donations for the Helping Hand Fund Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Kings Mountain shopping centers. Ministers will set up tripods in front of TG&Y, Ray’s Drug and Harris-Teeter from I p.m. until 5 p.m. all three days. All proceeds go to the Helping Hand Fund, a year-round a.ssistance program for needy families in the greater Kings Mountain area. ‘The Ministerial Association would like to publicly thank TG&Y, Ray’s Drug and Harris- Teeter for allowing us to collect money in front of their businesses,” said a spokesman for the group. DEATHS H.P. KEETER Harry Paul Keeter, 81, of Greensboro, died Thurs., Dec. 10 at Wesley Long Hospital. A native of Grover, he was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Keeter. He was a former resident of Kings Mountain and Bessemer City and was retired from Carnes and Mayo Clothing of Greensboro. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Greensboro. Surviving are his wife, Margie Keeter; one son, D.J. Keeter III of Columbia, Md.; three sisters, Mrs. J.P. (Viola) Wharton of Greensboro, Mrs. J.H. B. (Ethel) Jenkins of York, S.C., and Mrs. E. L. (Leo) McBride of Dunedin, Fla.; and three grandchildren. Graveside services were con ducted Sat., Dec. 12 at Westminister Gardens, Greensboro, by Dr. S. O. Ray. how donations could be made, they would gladly extend the life of their loved one through the gift of corneas that may give sight for years to come. The Lions Club members have labored many years to obtain pledges from thousands of North Carolinians, and now with the aid of information placed on the drivers licenses, the amount of tissue has increased. However, the responsibility for donor in formation getting to the hospital rests primarily with the family who are grief stricken and not likely to recall. Realizing this fac tor, many hospitals are pledging their support. There is no substitute for cor neal tissue and eye surgeons across the state are dependant on the generous donations made by the donors’ next of kin. By hav ing December as “Eye Bank Month”, it is hoped that all will consider eye donations among the richest gift that can be given. Interested persons may con tact their local Lions Club or write to the North Carolina Eye & Human Tissue Bank, 3195 Maplewood Avenue, Winston- Salem, NC 27103. Socks and Hose for Xmas!
