This work has been carried on in addition to other Lions' Club projects. "During the three years that I have had the pleasure of working in Oshawa on behalf of the CNIB, I have had excellent co-operation from the Lions' Club, and I would like to say a special word of thanks to Wolf Miller, Rufus Lam- bert, Lloyd Crossley and Lloyd Corson who served successively as chairmen of the Sight Conserva- tion Committee. The chairman elected by the Lions' Club for the ensuing year is Ted Watts, and I am looking forward to my associa- tion with him. "In closing, I would like to ex- press my appreciation for the many courtesies extended, not on- ly by the Lions' Club, but by Radio Station CKLB, and not least, the Oshawa Times-Gazette."
