Frank McCain knows value
of Lions’
By Lori Grof
Pawhuskan Frank McCain is
one of the 3,070 Oklahomans
whose vision is now improved
because of cornea transplants
that have taken place since the
Lions Club established the
Oklahoma Eye Bank in 1957.
The cornea is the transparent
anterior part of the external
coat of the eye covering the iris
and the pupil.
McCain himself has been a
charter member of the Lions
Club since May, 1949. His eye
trouble became serious when he
developed internal cataracts in
each eye.
Following an operation for the
cataracts, the cornea in each
eye, particularly the right eye,
began to cloud up.
“So they put me on the Lions’
cornea list,” McCain said.
After being put on the list, one
has to wait until the new cor-
neas become available, which
may take three to four months.
The corneas are taken from
the eyes of donors who are
recently deceased, and must be
taken immediately following
death. According to McCain,
when the Oklahoma Eye Bank
in Oklahoma City calls, you
must be prepared to go there
immediately for the transplant.
If the corneas come in from
out-of-state, the recipient pays
$350 for shipping and
processing. If from a donor in
the state of Oklahoma, that
charge is $10.
"Mine came in from Detroit,”
McCain said. “I checked into
eye bank work

.» A O OV Woman Sets Her Sights
■ L* On Disembodied Voice
by Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 33-year-old single woman who is seen
regularly on local television. (Omit city, please.) About a
year ago I started getting phone calls from a man who said
he was 48, divorced and a successful businessman.
Without coming on as a masher, he said he admired my
work and wanted to get to know me better. For some crazy
reason I became intrigued by this stranger and encouraged
his calls. (I even gave him my home phone so he could call
me after work.) There is no one special in my life right now
and this man is a tonic to me.
He’s intelligent, well-educated and has a wonderful sense
of humor. We ve had some very soul-searching and intimate
conversations — some have lasted three hours!
Abby, I want to meet this man in the worst way, but he
refuses to meet me. I’m beginning to suspect he is either very
ugly or perhaps deformed. I don’t care what he looks like; I
love his mind. What do you make of this? And where do I go
from here? I really want to meet him.
IN LOVE WITH A VOICE
DEAR IN: I would guess that the man is doing what
he does best — talking. For reasons of his own he
prefers to keep a safe distance. I see no future in this
"electronic tonic.” Fantasyland is fun to visit, but

DEAR ABBY: What can a person who is not interested in
gossip say when someone says, “I’ll tell you some dirt if you
promise not to tell anybody.”
HATES GOSSIP
DEAR HATES: Say, “Don’t tell me. You know I
can’t keep my mouth shut any better than you can.”
DEAR ABBY: I am 17 and have been sleeping with this
blanket I call “Sidney” every night since I can remember.
Lately I've been getting a lot of flak from my parents.
They say it is wrong at my age to sleep with Sidney. I’m not
sure I know why I sleep with him. They say it’s for extra
security, but I doubt it.
I am not a shy or insecure person; I’m friendly and
outgoing and have a nice circle of friends.
Is there anything wrong with a girl sleeping with a
blanket she’s had since day one?
SLEEPING WITH SIDNEY
DEAR SLEEPING: No harm in sleeping with
“Sidney” as long as you sleep alone. However, come
honeymoon time, retire Sidney to the rag bag.
