WORK AMONG BUND IS AN IMPORTANT ACTIVITY OF LIONS Funds Raised By Festival Will Aid In Work Among the many projects which ;he local Lions Club is enabled to :arry on with funds it receives rom various sources, including he Lions Mid-Summer Festival vhich will be held here August 4-9, s blind prevention work and aid ng in the rehabilitation of those vho have lost their most precious lossession—their eyesight. During the past school year, 940-41, the Blind and Welfare Committee of the Lions Club here :onducted a perpetual preliminary dinic with the efficient aid of the dty school nurse examining ap iroximately 250 school children. From the preliminary list of pu >ils, thirty-three were given glas ;s and five had their glasses changed or repaired. Four others vere found not to need glasses. In connection with the school dinic and rehabilitation and eon iervation of sight, twenty-eight idult cases were investigated and ;wcnty-one supplied with glasses, .'me of those adults was a girl, leventeen years of age, having ;ataracts from infancy on both eyes. Her case was continued from the previous year’s blind and Welfare committee into the club’s work last year. Glasses were fit ted for the girl enabling her to see for the first time in her life. During the past year, Mrs. Bail ey Watson West of the State Blind Commission was furnished with re habilitation work materials by the club, and a number of blind per sons were instructed in handi crafts such as might be had by the aid of the State Blind Com mission and the Lions Club that they might overcome a portion of their physical handicap and do many things for themselves that oefore they were taught were im possible. A chair-bottoming project was sponsored by the club for a Negro man, and his work was advertised n the local newspaper for eleven consecutive weeks. Along another line of action for ;he benefit of the blind was the club’s presentation of H. G. Eas ey of Burlington, a blind pianist, n a 30-minute piano recital at each of the five Roanoke Rapids Schools. This was an educational mature showing what blind peo ple can really do if given a chance. :t was estimated that over 3,000 students heard the p.anist.
