New Eyes for the Needy
You can say, "The eyes have it!"
when Cub Scouts set out to collect
unused eyeglasses for the needy. Dur-
ing a recent holiday season, three
packs in Pelham and Mt. Vernon,
N. Y., gathered 650 pairs. In Irving-
ton, N. J., Pack 206 collected 160
pairs.
These glasses, plus discarded jew-
elry donated at the same time, were
sent to New Eyes for the Needy, Inc.
This nonprofit charity corporation has
been processing glasses for the poor
since 1932. It is highly endorsed by
medical and government organizations
related to its objective.
Last year it provided 8,000 pairs of
new prescription glasses and sorted,
tested, and shipped 30,000 used pairs
abroad. In 30 years more than a quar-
ter million needy persons have been
aided to better sight.
New Eyes does not solicit funds but
supports itself by the sale to a re-
finery of discarded jewelry, glasses
frames, and dentures that contain gold
or silver. The only paid staff member
is a part-time secretary.
Explorers and Boy Scouts as well
as Cub Scouts find that collecting for
New Eyes is a worthy service suited
to their abilities. No one has to sell
anything, handle money, or spend
hours working behind the scenes.
People usually are pleased to give
things they otherwise would throw
away. Newspapers willingly publicize
such a project.
The list of items wanted includes
metal glasses frames in any condition,
reusable plastic frames with or with-
out lenses, sunglasses, artificial eyes,
soft glasses cases, and precious metal
scrap such as old watches, jewelry,
dentures, and table silver. Loose lenses
and hard cases cannot be used.
Making a collection involves a talk-
ing campaign among parents and
friends, strategically located collection
boxes, a collection center, footwork,
packing, and mailing. Each item
should be wrapped separately and all
placed in a sturdy box for parcel post
mailing. Send to New Eyes for the
Needy, Short Hills, N. J., where the
volunteers will do the rest in seeing
that the eyes have it.
