The Lions will not be the feline variety, but members of more than 650 Illinois Lions clubs working to improve the lives of thousands of Illinoisans through the thirty-first annual Lions Candy Day. In shopping centers, on street corners, sidewalks, malls and other areas where people congregate, Lions, some 30,000 strong, will be working to raise money for programs to benefit the blind, deaf, and hearing impaired. On Candy Day Lions and volunteers give away rolls of candy and accept donations to raise more than $1 million. - Money raised through Candy Day, administered by the Lions of Illinois Foundation, the charitable arm of the Illinois Lions Clubs * supports a variety of humanitarian projects for the Mind and the deaf, both statewide and local. "Candy Day is very much in the spirit of voluntarism which built our nation." said Robert L. Hunter, Jr., of Morris, president of the board of trustees of the Lions of Illinois Foundation. "This is all the more improtant today," he noted, "in a time of ever decreasing government support of humanitarian causes. In such a time, the volunteer assumes even greater importance." Since 1925 when Helen Keller first charged the membership to become "knights of the blind, " Illinois Lions have adopted an ever increasing number of services to the blind and deaf in the State of Illinois. Statewide Candy Day funds provide major support for: --Lions of Illinois Mobile Glaucoma Screening Unit which travels thestate screening approximately 20,000 adults annually for glaucoma, visual acuity. Hypertension and diabetes were added in 1982. --An Eye Donor Registry to help relieve the chronic shortage of eye tissue available for corneal tran­ splants and other medical and research requirements. . --Camp lions for youngsters with severe vision or hearing problems. --A Department of Social Services and Referral which offers a variety of help, information, and red tape cutting to the blind and deaf. --A Used Eyeglasses Program in which more than 250,000 pairs of used eyeglasses are collected annually for redistribution to poverty areas the world over. --A Used Hearing Aid Bank which provides refurbished hearing aids to Illinois citizens who could otherwise not afford them. --The Lions Low Vision Clinic at the Illinois School for the Visually Im­ paired, Jacksonville. The Clinic enables children from all over the state to turn minimal si£)t into useful vision with a variety of low vision aids. The school is state run; the Clinic is Lion-sponsored and not paid" for by the state. --Publication of the Illinois Directory of Services for the Visually Impaired, a resource book which includes more than 450 entries. ?Completes Training J Marine Pvt.

Commission In Marines tJr. 'Carl rave about the Intensive Care Unit in pur hospitals, a place whore the sicfr and injured who are in danger of (heir* lives may be sent for extra watchful care aroond the clock*. Much braise should be given the medical and nursing professions for Intensive Care Units. However, not all vendor patients who have been in intensive care can say all is perfect there.:Including me. I am 69. "I Iave just gotten out of the hospital, well and hfeppy after a stay of 10 days, four ot which were in intensive care. ;I have strong* feelings' of criticise for the intensive care where I recovered. Oh, I will be eternally grateful for the selfless care* for the careful monitoring of my condition, for the feeling of security I had in intensive care, but I will always remember that no care was ever given for my emotional or intellectual needs. -- "When I wanted to phone my husband, the nurse said I could wait. He wotdd be in ta see me later. She didn't take into} consideration the fact that I wantefl to talk' to him that minute, that L. wanted something that should haw been simple to give but that ! couldn't obtain. This happened every time I asked to make a call. Thty said the electronic gadgets in ICU could not tolerate use of a telephone. "When I asked for something to read, nobody paid any attention toj thp request until a nurse's aid, or cleaning woman, went out to the! srirgery lounge and came back with/ a magazine wh .ch she handed to me. Believe it or dot, the title was 'Pit and Quarry Magazine.' When my husband learned about it he ex­ claimed, 'How thoughtless ana silly/ 4,I sent him out for a magazine. He said the nurses didn't want me to have it. I said I didn't believe it. I won the argument, because although I was getting bettor, it was not better enough so anybody wanted to argue "I truly believe that if I could have made several phone calls from Intensive Care every day and if I had had some sensible selection of things to read, I would have been well enough to leave Intensive Care a day or two sooner. Can't we older patients do something helpful about changing the rules in intensive care units?" --Marie McD. Answer-1 have talked with others who agree with Marie. They com­ plain that on the average they have to lie in bed and make a choice between watching the limited scenery in other ICU alcoves and, in some cases, the exciting things that go on in the vicinity, or asking the nurse for a knock-out shot. The problem of the telephone can be easily solved, I should think. In this day and age of electronic miracles, a telephone could be connected that would not interfere with the electronic devices used for monitoring the sick. A 100-foot cord wilh a phone on one end could be stretched into ICU from a plug out in the hall. Or majdffe a 200-foot cord. Whatever As for rea said that it is a ' Intensive Care read or who wi well enough magazine, supplied wi There is who said that because he was 60 he could not qualify for aid from the local agency." --John B.C. Answer- Most agencies make eligibility for their services start age 60 and not 65.

If he is ant to read a ought to be bly no finer ac­ complishment by hospitals than the establishment of intensive care units. Perhaps hospitals some day soon will give strong consideration to the emotional and intellectual needs of the man or woman who is coming out of the depths of a dangerous illness. Question- "Would it be possible to let readers know that in many states of the union, there are agencies for help to the aging that give that help to senior citizens as young as 60? Your recent column told of a senior Q. What are the' benefits of or­ thodontic treatment (besides im­ proving the appearance by straightening the teeth)? A. Orthodontic benefits are three­ fold. First, treatment improves the health of the mouth. Straight well- aligned teeth are easier to keep clean and more likely to be kept for a lifetime. Secondly, when teeth fit together properly, the jaw joints function correctly and without discomfort. Chewing is improved and speech may be enhanced with treatment. Last but not least, one's self-esteem jmg confidence may improve. A pleasing smile is often a happy smfle. People usually feel their best when they look their best. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS 1.
