Consider giving the
gift of sight
As the holiday season un
folds, the Oregon Lions Eye
Bank asks Heppner area resi
dents to consider "giving the
gift of sight" so that people
blinded by corneal disease can
regain their vision through a
corneal transplant operation.
' " "Corneal damage is a major
cause of blindness, but today
more than 90 percent of trans
plant operations are success
ful." said Kristi Volh, execu
tive director of the Oregon
Lions Eye Bank, based at
Good Samaritan Hospital &
Medical Center in Portland.
More than 1.100 Oregonians
have had their sight restored
with corneas furnished by the
eye bank. Voth said.
The eye bank receives and
preserves human donor eyes
and makes them available to
physicians whose patients
need corneal transplant sur
geries. The only source of
tissue is the donation of eyes of
recently-deceased persons.
The cornea is the transpar
ent covering that overlays the
iris and pupil, and works with
the lens to focus light rays
entering the eye. When the
cornea is diseased or injured,
sight may be restored by
transplanting a clear cornea
from a donor eye.
Everyone, regardless of the
quality of his or her vision, can
participate in the eye bank
program by becoming a po
tential eye donor because "the
need for tissue far exceeds the
number of corneas obtained."
Voth said.
Those 18 years old or older
may sign a donor card in the
presence of two witnesses, and
carry the card in their wallet
at all Mmes. Eyes of a deceas
ed relative may also be dona
ted by a next-of-kin who is
over 18 years old.
A donor card can be obtain
ed from the eye bank (tele
phone: (503 ) 229-7523), any
local Lions Club or one of 120
funeral homes in Oregon
which act as substations for
the eye bank.
The Oregon Lions Eye Bank
is supported by more than 200
Lions Clubs throughout Ore
gon, and is a member of the
Oregon Donor Program.

, ers of at much as a half gallon of gas out of every twenty.

Wheat & barley producers to receive deficiency payments
Eligible wheat farmers soon
will receive an estimated $475
million in deficiency pay
ments on their 1982 crop, while
barley farmers will get about
$) million, according to Ev
erett Rank, administrator of
the U.S. Department of Agri
culture's Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation Ser
vice. The Heppner A.SC.S.
office reports that Morrow Co.
Wheat Farmers are to receive
gross farm payments of over
$1,114,602. and barley farmers
in the county will receive over
$23,368 in gross payments.
Rank said deficiency pay
ments are required under the
PHP
1982 wheat and barley pro
grams because average mar
ket prices received by farm
ers during the first five
months (June through Octo
ber) of the marketing year
were below established target
price levels of $4 .05 per bushel
for wheat and $2.60 for barley.
No deficiency payments are
required for oats as the five
month weighted average
market price of $150 per
bushel is the same as the $1.50
target price. Rank said.
The deficiency payment
rate is based on the difference
between the established target
price and the higher of the
national weighted average
market price for June through
Oototer or the loan rate

market prices were $3 34 per
bushel for wheat and $2 20 per

ble producers will be paid 50
cents per bushel for their

S3 55 loan rate and 40 cents per
bushel for this vear's barley

ed averaee market price, he
said

made to wheat and barley

programs. Rank said the
pavment checks will be issued
through local A.S C.S. offices
