the twenty-six hundred! rr Recently, the Lions Club Women’s Auxiliary of Bustleton, Pa., in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Working Home for the Blind, asked us to appeal to our listeners for old eyeglasses. What a response! Twenty-six hundred pairs in thirty days! They now have been turned over to “New Eyes for the Needy,” a non-profit organization which, for 47 years, has been reclaiming old glasses to provide new ones and artificial eyes to thousands each year who cannot afford them. Some frames are reusable. Metal frames are melted down and redeemed for cash which is sent back to the source organization. So, to each contributor, for ourselves and for all the needy persons who will receive “new eyes,” we say — thanks a million. “New Eyes for the Needy” is but one of many distinguished community efforts in which WIBG is proud to lend a hand.
