Lions Units Aid Oregon's Blind
The work Lions Club auxili
uries are doing for the blind
in the stale of Oregon is paying
dividends which can never he
measured, James Kays told
members of 23 clubs gathered
in Eugene this week for a train
ing session.
Mr. Kays, a member of Eu
gene Lions Club and vice presi
dent of Oregon State Lions Sight
Conservation Foundation, spoke
to the group at a luncheon
mealing in Eugene Hotel.
Outlining the work done hy
the Foundation since its estab
lishment in 1B58, Mr. Kays en
listed the aid of the Auxiliary
members in realizing future
dreams for assisting Oregon's
Hood River Homemaker
To Attend ACWW Meet
Hood River homemaker Mrs.
Ttiddell (Athalie) Lage, will
travel to Melbourne, Australia,
this week on a goodwill mis
sion to help promote under
standing and friendship among
women of the world.
She will fly from Portland
Saturday to the 10th triennial
conference of the Associated
Country Women of the World.
The conference is held once
every three years to restate and
reinforce mutual concerns of
women in the free world. Com
munistic countries do not at
tend. Although differences in lan
guage and culture present bar
riers, women of the world want
many of the same things for
their children, says Mrs. Lage.
These include food, health serv
ices, and a chance to live in
peace. Many differences melt
away when mothers and home
makers can visit with each other
nn a f ace-lo face basis, she con
tinues. The ACWW conference, some
what similiar in set-up to the
United Nations draws from a
membership of more than 6 mil
lion women in 33 countries.
Women representing various
areas of the world gather in one
large assembly hall to conduct
business. All meetings are in
English with Interpreters pro
vided for those who need them.

Mr. and Mrs. Wendell C. Kaufman of Eugene, who returned
home this week from a 42-day South Seas cruise, are pictured
as they were greeted in true native fashion when the liner
S.S. Mariposa arrived in Papeete, Tahiti. The couple sailed
from San Francisco to Los Angeles, then to Borabora in the
French Society Islands before going on to Papeete. In addi
tion to sightseeing they were entertained twice at a "tam
araa," the Tahitian luau. They returned home by air, flying
first to Honolulu and then to Eugene.
2,500 blind persons,
The Foundation, a coopera
tive, non-profit organization, is
directed by 17 trustees, the
speaker reported. It does not
assess the Lions clubs of the
state for funds to carry on its
work; all monies received are
voluntary donations.
"Some $1300 was sent in dur
ing the first year of operation
from May I860 to May 1961,"
Mr. Kays told the group. But
in the club year May 1061 to
May 1962, a total n( almost $10,
000 was received!"
There are three main proj

Mrs. Lage, as president of the
Oregon Home Economics Exten

000 homemakers, who regularly
take part in Oregon State Uni
versity's cooperative extension
programs. Her expenses at the
conference will be paid by these
Oregon homemakers who se
lected her from a list of 12
candidates nominated by their
respective counties.
Mrs. Lage first became In
terested in homemaking educa
tion and education for women in
general through an OSU exten
sion unit in Hood River county,
her birthplace. Motivating force
through the years, she says, has
been her three youngsters,
Eddy, 26, now in business with
his father; Judy 22, OSU grad
uate, and Hetty, 18.
Mrs. I.age is a 411 leaders;

this provided a week's "vaca
tion" in the beautiful selling of
the St. Benedictine Retreat, for
65 blind people from all over
the stale.
Mr. Kays told the group about
his visit to the retreat last year.
"You see, first-hand, the
value it has to people living in
darkness and realize you are
participating in one of the fin
est programs," he said. He not
ed that while they were eating,
the lights in the dining room
went out, causing a bit of com
motion among the sighted
guests. One of the blind people
said to them, reassuringly:
"You just slick by me and
you'll get by. And if you have
trouble finding your mouth, bite
your tongue and you'll know
where it is!"
The Foundation's plans for
the future were listed by Mr.
Kays:
Purchase of new equip
ment for the Devers Memorial
Clinic.
Supervisors to aid in re
habilitation and recreation at
the McKenzie Retreat.
Funds to provide assist
ance at the Devers Clinic.
Recorded books for the
blind.
Ground and buildings to
provide a year-round retreat for
Oregon's blind persons.
"There's a real challenge
ahead of us and we need your
help and support." Mr. Kays
said in closing. "If we are to
win the battle for the rights of
man. it will not be because of
superior missiles and a first
landing on the moon, but be
cause we as individuals arc will
ing to work in our own commu
nities as far as our hearts can
see."

'Dear
Abby'
Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: We have a daughter who Is 34 years old. She
graduated from the State University so you know she is no
dummy. She has been going with a divorced man for the past
five years. According to her they have no plans for marriage.
This man told our daughter that the best check he writes out
every month is the one for his alimony, and he doesn't care to
get married again. Our daughter is satisfied just to "go" with
him. She has her own apartment and is self-supporting, but we
think someone ought to tell her that "going" with a man with
no marriage in sight is not respectable. Or do you think it is?
CHARLESTON
DEAR CHARLESTON: It is your daughter's privilege to "go
with a man" if she chooses. Whether It is "respectable" or not
depends on where she goes with him . . . and how far.
DEAR ARBY: When I was hired for this job I wasn't told
that 1 would have to take vitamin pills every morning. Our boss
is a real nut on the subject and she stands right over your desk
to make sure you take the vitamin pills. Now I am 33 years old
and 1 don't need anyone to tell me what's good for me. These
pills come up on me (excuse me) and I have a very disagree
able taste in my mouth all morning. Must I quit a good paying
job over something so foolish?
ANTI VITAMIN PILLS
DEAR ANTI: Tell your boss (confidentially) that the pills
disagree wilh you and I'm sure they won't be "brought up"
(excuse me?) again.
DEAR ABBY: My wife's parents live downstairs and we live
upstairs. Every evening her old man comes up here and asks if
we were through with the newspaper. Sometimes we are and
sometimes we aren't, but we always give it to him just to be
nice. If a page is missing I get a telephone call and have to
hunt it up and bring it down. I don't dare to work the cross
word puule because her old lady likes to do it. And my wife
can't tear anything nut of the paper because we get a beef if
something is missing. Who should tell them to buy their own
paper? Since they're my wife's parents, I think it's her job.
Right?
BURNED UP
DEAR BURNED: Wrong! Buy your In laws a yearly sub
scription to the newspaper for their Christmas, anniversary or
birthday presents.
