"Judson offers superior education near home. Judson graduates recently tested equal with Reed College, the traditional highest standard in Oregon," Murty said. On Sunday, Judson students March named National Eye Bank Month Last year 207 persons re ceived corneal transplants at Oregon hospitals, in many cases restoring sight to some one who had little if any sight. If enough tissue had been available, that figure could have been 300, says Kristi V'oth, executive director of Oregon's statewide eye bank, the Oregon Lions Eye Bank at Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center in Portland. V'oth is promoting donations to the eye bank as part of the activity surrounding March as National Eye Bank Month. "Right now, there are 25 Oregonians waiting for a chance to have their vision restored or improved through this relatively common cor neal transplant procedure, and Heppner residents can help us begin to fill this by giving the gift of sight," V'oth says. When the cornea the clear "Window of the eye" that works with the lens to focus incoming light rays be comes cloudy from injury or disease, vision can be restored by transplanting a clear cor nea from a donor eye. Through a network of volun teer Lions Club members and funeral directors, 72 substa tions have been set up through the state to collect tissue, which is rushed to the Lions Eye Bank laboratory at Good Samaritan. "We act as a clearing house to service 44 physicians mostly in Oregon and south west Washington but for a few as far away as Montana, Idaho and northern Califor nia," said Emanuel Tanne, M.D. surgical director of the eye bank. In addition, about half of the tissue is sent to local and regional organizations doing research into eye disease, Dr. Tanne says. For corenal transplant pur poses, tissue only lasts 72 hours and sometimes is shipped to one of more than 80 other eye banks throughout aiiiitHiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiui S Offers to Purchase BANK OF EASTERN OREGON CAPITAL STOCK In for units of 20 shares or more will be accepted S consideration through Friday, March 23, 1984. j Send offers to MID-COLUMBIA PCA s P.O.

The Oregon Lions Eye Bank can call on this network if an emergency transplant situa tion finds it without an Oregon donor. With the eye bank Tissue Inventory System computer network and a ham radio operator who also broadcasts word of an emergency, "no one ever has lost an eye here if a corneal transplant would solve the problem," V'oth says proudly. Last year, 541 Oregonians donated their corneal tissue at death. Tissue which wasn't healthy enough for transplant was used in research pro grams dealing with such areas as glaucoma, muscle studies or new techniques for remo ving cataracts. "There is extensive conti nuing research into glaucoma. We know how it affects the eye and how to treat it, but we still don't know what causes it," says Dr. Tanne. He points out that there is a misconception over who can donate. "Many people think that they can't be a donor if they wear glasses and that just isn't so. The determination of healthy tissue is much diffe rent than that," he said, and pointed out that all tissue is useful in the battle against eye diseases. "With all the research into retinal disease, tissue from someone with retinal disease is very valuable," he says. Anyone over 18 years old may sign a donor card in the presence of two witnesses and carry the card in a wallet or purse. Oregon law also allows eye donation for a deceased relative by the next-of kin over 18. Donor cards can be obtained from the Eye Bank (503-229-7523), local Lions Club mem- ' bers or any of 117 funeral homes in Oreogn, including Sweeney Mortuary, Heppner, which act as eye tissue collec tion centers for the bank.
