STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Eye Shortages Hamper Sight Restoration Work A growing list of blind or near-blind Illinois citizens waiting for eye tissue that could restore their sight as added a special urgency to the need for donor eyes, according to of­ ficials of the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness and its affiliate, the Illinois Eye bank Edgar T. Britton, executive director of the society, and Dr. Maurice Rabb, medical director of the Eye bank, estimate that more than 100 Illinois citizens are on the current list for corneal tran­ splants. Some, says Britton, have been waiting a year for the donor eyes that provide the necessary tissue. "Citizens, sympathetic to the plight of those youngsters and adults needlessly forced to spend their lives in darkness, can help in two ways," Britton explains, "One. they can write the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 220 South State street, Chicago, 111., 60604. and obtain an Eye Donor card that expresses their desire to pledge their eyes on that future day when they will no longer be needed. Or, if a member of the immediate family should die, they can remember the need and notify either the attending physician or the Eye bank." A new Illinois law permits any member of the immediate family to authorize the removal of eyes to be used in tran­ splants. This must be done, of course, within a few hours after death so that the tissue will still be usable. In the last decade the sight of thousands of people has been saved by the miracle of corneal surgery and transplantation, Dr. Rabb explains. Corneal tissue can be transplanted from one individual's eyes to another's without the im­ munological reactions so often encountered in other transplant surgery. As a result the sight of people with corneal fogging and corneal disease can often be saved. Throughout the country Eye Banks have been established where eye tissue has been collected and provided for such operations. The Illinois Eye bank, sup­ ported by the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, is operated at the University of Illinois Eye and Ear infirmary at 1855 West Taylor street, Chicago. Since its establish­ ment in 1947 it has made possible the restoration of sight for thousands of people af­ flicted with corneal malfunc­ tions.

Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q. At Thanksgiving and Christmas,1 my employer usu­ ally gives each employee a tur­ key or a fruit basket, and sometimes a gift certificate if we've had a good sales year. Do I have to pay tax on such gifts? A. I f your employer dis t r ib­ utes to you and your co-work­ ers goodwil l g i f ts of food or other merchandise of nominal value on hol idays, the value of these gif ts is not income. How­ ever , i f your employer dis t r ib­ utes cash, gif t cer t i f icates , or s imilar i tems of readi ly con­ vert ible cash value, such gif ts represent taxable salary paid to you. Q. I drive in a car pool to work with three other people. Are any of my auto expenses in connection with the car pool tax deductible? Do I have to pay tax on the monev I receive from the other members for gas? A. Certain nonbusiness auto expenses are deductible at pre­ sent, such as gasoline tax, per­ sonal property tax, general sales and compensating use taxes, interest on auto loans and casualty and theft losses. But the costs of repairs, gas, and similar items in connection with an automobile used in a car pool to and from work are personal expenses and they are not deductible. The money your passengers pay you to compen­ sate your expenses is not in­ come to you except to the extent that it exceeds your expenses. Q. In figuring how much I spent for our family vacation this year, I noticed that I paid Federal excise tax on our air­ line tickets, and several tolls for state roads we used. Are these amounts tax deductible? Free Cooking Demonstration Sat* Nov.

General sales taxes on souvenirs you bought, or on rental property such as a pleas­ ure boat (if rentals are subject to the sales tax law of the locality)are tax deductible ex­ penses you might have paid on your vacation. For more infor­ mation on deductible taxes, consult IRS publication 546, "Income Tax Deduction for Taxes." You can get a copy free at many IRS offices. Q. I just bought a new house in a development and I'm rent­ ing it out. The city has as­ sessed me for building a side­ walk in front of'my house. Does this assessment qualify as a deductible rental expense? A. No. Assessments for local benefits that tend to increase the value of your property, such as assessments for the construction of streets, side­ walks, water and sewerage systems or improvement of public parking facilities, are generally not deductible. If the local benefit involved increases the value of your property, you must increase the basis of your property by the amount of the assessment.
