SECTION 2 - PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 14, 1984 general News 'Gift of sight' need noted in March Census survey on employment data The U.S. Bureau of the Census will conduct its regular survey on employment and unem­ ployment in this area during the week of March 19-24, according to Stanley D. Moore, director of the Bureau's Regional Office in Chicago. In addition to the usual questions on current em­ ployment, the March survey will have questions on the work experience and income of household members last year and whether they have moved since March, 1979. The survey is conducted for the U.S. Department of Labor in a scientifically designed sample of approximatley 71,000 households throughout the United States. Employment and unemployment statistics based on results of this survey are used to provide a continuing measure of the economic health of the nation. For example, in January, 1984, the survey indicated that of the 112.2 million men and women in the civilian labor force, 103.2 million were em­ ployed. The nation's unem­ ployment rate was 8.0 percent. Information supplied by in­ dividuals participating in the survey is kept strictly con­ fidential by law • * March Is traditionally Eye Bank Month in Illinois and it's the time of year when the Illinois Eye Bank and 93 eye banks across the country make a concerted • effort to com­ municate the importance and need for eye tissue for corneal transplants. Since its founding in 1947, the Illinois Eye Bank, a project of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, has helped restore the vision of more than 6,000 men, women and children in Illinois through corneal transplants. A record 488 transplants were performed in Illinois in 1983, an increase over the 428 in 1982 and 373 in 1981. Unfortunately, there is never enough donor tissue. An estimated 500 people in the State of Illinois are waiting for healthy eye tissue to replace their damaged and defective corneas so they can ate. But Illinois residents like Heidi Seisser, Ada Wold, Annie Cherry, Peter Faulhaber, Marsha Dienstag, Joel Margolis and Wayland Johnson know what it is to receive "the gift of sight." Statistics dont tell the wonder of being able to see clearly and fully. They represent the men, women and children who know what that is. Heidi, now 15 months old, had a transplant at six weeks. Ada Wolf, a grand 96-years-old, can see today because of a tran­ splant. Annie, Peter, Marsha and Joel were gradually losing their sight to a disease of the cornea. Wayland was blinded in a construction accident,. _ Thoughtful donora who made their wishes known during their lifetimes gave them all the gift of sight. Potential donors should carry the necessary indentification form which is the Uniform Donor card. The card is available on request from the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 53 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. Drivers in Illinois can also use the back of their driver's licenses to donate their eyes. "Anyone over 18 may donate their eyes and no one is ever too old to donate," according to Edgar T. Britton, executive director, Illinois Society for the Preventionof Blindness. "Prior eye examinations are not necessary and even those with poor vision have usable eyes. Eyes that have been operated on for cataracts are also valuable to the Eye Ban" Britton said. Removal of the eyes does not mar the ap­ pearance of the body and there is never any charge to the donor or the donor's family. Un­ fortunately, only blindness caused by damaged or defective corneas can be helped with corneal transplants. Eyes must be removed under sterile con­ ditions preferably two hours after death and no longer than six hours which is why it is important that donors notify their families and friends of their wishes to give "the gift of sight".
