Car Accident
Mrs, Patricia Ann Zebliskv. 23
of 39 Merokee Place, Farming-dale
was on the danger list in
Worcester City Hospital, Wor­cester,
Mass, and still fighting
for her life as this paper went to
press.
Mrs. Zeblisky and her husband
Joseph, 26, were in an auto acci­dent
early Saturday as they were
driving along a highway during a
severe snowstorm. Townsend po­lice,
the town in which the acci­dent
occured, said Mr. Zeblisky,
who was at the wheel, told them
he saw a car approaching on his
side of the road. He swerved to
avoid a collision and his car
smashed into a telephone pole.
The couple were on their way
to visit Mrs. Zebllsky's parents
in Brandford, N. H.
Mr. Zeblisky suffered a frac­tured
right ankle and cuts of the
face and body, but is able to be up ,
and walking around the hospital.
His wife suffered severe head
injuries.
The Lions Club of Farmingdale
will conduct an Eye Bank Drive in
Farmingdale for a two week period
ending Feb. 24.
Seated here is the Rev. W. Robert
Hampshire, the first donor to will
his eyes during the drive and a
booklet that describes the work of
the Eye Bank For Sight Restor­ation
Lions Seek Donors
For Eye Bank Drive MU « IC Educators
Guests a t Jr. H'S f- - ast year o95 blind persons had
- tieur sight restored to them
through the efforst of the Eye Bank
For Sight Retoration( EBFSH). The
Eye Bank received 1035 donations
of eyes. Not all the eyes could
be used for transplants, but all
eyes were extremely valuable for
research.
The Lions Club of Farmingdale,
which has always had sight con­servation
as one of its major ob­jectives,
is now conducting an Eye
Bank Drive. Unlike a Blood Bank
Drive nothing is given during life.
Thirty thousand Americans are
needlessly blind today. Sight could
be restored to them with a cor­nea
trasplant.
You may make a gift of sight
to those who cannot see at no
sacrifice to yourself.
Through the efforts of the Eye
Bank, healthy corneas are made
available to surgeons, free of
charge. Operations are performed
with need as the primary consid­eration.
The ability to pay is sec­ondary.
The Eye Bank staffs its office
24 hours a day, 365 days a year
in order to coordinate the medical
and transportation details nec­essary
to deliver the cornea to the
operating surgeon within the re­quired
time limits. The cornea
must be corained within 3 or 4
hours after death and the operation
must be periormed within 48 hours
after death.
The Eye Bank has instituted
two donor forms because the cor­nea
must be obtained in this very
short period of time after death.
The form is pocket sized that is
to be carried by the donor at
all times. The other form is a

to the school bus problems
which have plagued both Massa­pequa

Star Bus Co. and discontinue tne
use of the contracted 36 busses

service from three other school
bus companies to supplement die
11 district- owned busses. How­ever,

attempt had reverberations in
