Semi T)ke Wo t tip I C linic ^ Eye Donor Service The Illinois E^ye Bank was founded in 1947 by the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, which finances and administers it, and the Chicago Ophthalmological society, which determines its policies and procedures. Its purpose is. to provide donor eye tissues to surgeons for transplant surgery. During the early years of the EJye Bank, people understood little about transplant surgery and not many arranged to donate •their eyes. In fact, during the first year,the Eye Bank obtained [only twenty - five eyes. ' ^.Public awareness of the need for donor eyes and the unit derstanding of the good accomplished has grown- through the :The Eye Bank now receives approximately 380 donor | iif&es per year or an average of one a day. From 1947 through| l3^;i^:'C^'BBid('reedV@d a total of 3,181 aires. • f & ^ Corneal transplant surgery can restore sight to those I people whose blindness is caused by an injured or defective ;t cornea. Other donor eye tissue, such as the white of the eye, lithe sclera and the jelly - like fluid within the eye, the vitreous, $is used in other types of selected surgery. £ . In spite of the growing interest in eye bank work, there is ^always a critical need for donor eyes. Surgeons place their k patients' names on the Eye Bank waiting list and there are alf ways a list of people waiting to see once more. No charge is ifceyer made for donor tissue and all costs are born by the Illinois 1 Society for the Prevention of Blindness through voluntary contrii|' buttons. T There is a desperate need for eyes for research and ail [j dbnor eyes not suitable for surgery are used for that purpose. | All eyes are accepted by the Eye Bank and every one is used to r> meet a crucial need. if • People can arrange, during their lifetime, to donate their !l eyes, after death, by signing an Eye Bank donor form. If a person desires to donate his eyes but neglects to sign a donor •,f form, the next of kin may donate the eyes at the time of death. | The Illinois Eye Bank is located at 220 S. State street, Chi- 5 cago, 60604. Confusion Of Glamor More people are reading than ever. The research of universities and private agencies show that television, while putting some magazines out of business, has ironically added more time to reading. Some magazines have folded and ethers are struggling for survival, not because of lack of readership, but often because of too many readers. A magazine with several million subscribers loses a fortune every issue printed if it is not supported by vast advertising investments. Unfortunately, the great national magazines were supported by the same advertisers who have turned to television. These advertisers are mainly the sellers of patent medicines, soda-pop, detergents, cosmetics, cigarettes, women's undergarments, cereals, soiqps, deodorants, and corporate images. Hie advertising of such items is not based on rational" appeals. It is designed to implant a name in the unconscious mind of the consumer. The idea is that a more or less indifferent consumer will ask for a brand name which automatically comes to mind. The advertising agencies, in love with the glamor of television, and confused by the muddled theories of some writers, have diverted impressionistic advertising from magazines to the electronic media. However, on the local level, where the final buying decision is made, glamor and theory are no substitute for hard fact and reason. Thus, newspaper advertising, which calls an aspirin an aspirin at any price, remains the best basic contact between seller and consumer. Harold is typical of beatniks. They are in a belated open revolt against "Mamma" who used to order them to take a bath and wash behind their ears! They illustrate regression to an earlier, irresponsible age, only slightly above that of the infant who expects mamma to bathe him and change his diaper! By - George W. CRANE, Ph, D..M.D. CASE H -531: Harold P., aged 17, is a beatnik. "Dr. Crane", his horrified mother began, "what is wrong with Harold? "We live in a nice suburban neighborhood. "Our house is spic and span, but Harold now deliberately smears up his skin-tight trousers and wears sloppy shirts that are dirty and unkempt. "Actually, he seems to delight in looking like a pig in a mudhole. "So what couldpossiblymake a boy act so irrational?" NEGATIVE PROTEST This is just one of the many variations of what we psychologists call the "negative protest". As a little boy, Harold grumbled and griped about taking a bath when he came in from playing with his pals. Youngsters protest at that time even about washing their hands! Tliey may, under coercion, slap a few drops of water on their face and then wipe the dirt on the towel. But when they getto the table, Mamma says: "Why, you look fiHy! Andyou didn't wash behind your ears!

It is not possible for all of us to contribute equally, In a mometary sense, to a worthy cause. It Is, Eaowever, possible for any of us to be gesaerous of spirit In our everyday living and In our dealings with others. Let us strive to do just that. Respectfully, 1 «75 'JI®? McHenry^HinolJ PETEiaJllSIEi & SON FUNERAL HOME the bathroom and wash properly!" Hiat exclamation of the typical conscientious mother, needs to be headlined today. For the beatnik craze is a belated protest by teen-agers who now feel powerful enough to refuse to obey mamma's original bossy behavior regarding soap and water. Beatniks are thus merely overgrown toddlers who, in struggling to assert their independence of mamma, thus revert to a kindergarten outlook. This is a form of regression. It is a first cousin to similar regression seen in our mental institutions where deranged adults revert clear back to infancy and neither dress themselves or even take over their own toilet functions. Beatniks thus are only a few notches above the baby stage where mamma must also change their diapers! Oddly enough, the beatniks seem to think their unconventional behavior now proves that they are adults. On the contrary, they publiclyadvertise the fact that they are shunning responsibility,' which is a typical infantile role. ^Adulthood is synonymous with. sfljbuldering obligations and assuming the duties prescribed fay the moral and social codes of one's generation. - If juveniles want to prove that they are grown-ups, then they should act like adults instead of toddlers. But that takes elbow greese, guts and perseverance. Beatniks help comprise a large segment of our population who are both psychically and economically unstable. This vast group perform like sheep and stampede after their bellwether leaders. But lions don't flock or stampede! So be glad the great majority of teen-agers still are rugged "lions'" who face up to reality with courage. Beatniks "chicken out" and want the limelight, just like baby in the high chair, who wants to feel important though he is meanwhile totally dependent on papa and mama! So send for my "Behavior Tests For Teen-Agers" enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. They quickly weed out the juveniles among youth. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelop® and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you gend for one of his booklets.) The roadway centerline. If jwi drive a car, you see one' . virtually every day, along with| 'Uroad-edge striping, lane and 4ross-walk stripes and all manner of foadway markings. The way they affect you isr; ^ somewhat peculiar. You usually, " . don't notice them unless they*re " not there. Other times, you?ref; conscious of them only wheat,. j!%$ou couldn't move without them-?; - uke the centerlina in a dense fog, for example. " There's an interesting story surrounding today's bright,- multicolored, see-in-the-dark • reflectorized roadway mark- Ings, and this is the first of three columns tiiat will tell that, "story. First, some history. The oldest on-the-pavement . msurtdng ;' known is the centerline. Some say it dates back to Roman times. In the New World, there's & 400-year-old road that runs between Mexico City and Cuerna-J vaca (Sair-na-va-ka). Made of paving stones, the crater of this road contains a line of lightcolored stones. The next historical reference to pavement markings is dated 1911. Again it contains the centerline. Hie rediscovery of this as a driving safety aid is attributed to one Edward N. Hines of Detroit. As the story goes, he was driving his motor car one day behind a wagon, from which a small stream of white mortar was spilling. "Eureka!" one can almost hear him say: "Why not paint a white line down the center of the road to help drivers stay on their own side?" And so it began. But at first, and for a number of years thereafter, centerlines were applied only at particularly hazardous spots -- hills, curves, narrow bridges, etc. And they were painted by hand, with a brush, using white lead paint. As traffic increased following World War I, use of the centerline spread to more and more stretches of main highway, hazardous or not. Machines were developed to lay the lines from the backs of moving trucks. Eventually, within the last 20 years, centerlines began to appear on secondary paved roads, and multilane highways started sprouting lines to denote each lane. Another development that began to appear about 20 years ago was the yellow line that, when it's on your side of the centerline, denotes a "no passing zone". Still more recent are lines marking the side of the read and, even more current, the use of reflective material instead of white paint, to make the lines more visible at night.
