Blind Boy Gets Chance Of Sight

MONTREAL ICP) - Jean-Paul Del Biondo will mark his lsth birthday today with hopes of I wondrous gift-sight.

A dying man gave the boy his chance. The man, before lapsing into a coma in hospital. said he wished to donate his eyes for car- ncal transplants after his death. Jean-Paul was at the head of a Montreal General Hospital list awaiting such a donor. But he al- most lost the opportunity because his family had moved after giving his home address. A press and radio search for the boy started Sunday night and he heard about it when he reported for work Iilonday.

Doctors said his eyesight is "very poor" and he would soon be completely blind.

The rare corneal transplant will Illive him hope for recovery. al- though the operation in not always success'iii, doctors said. It must be performed shortly after the death of the donor.

NORFOLK ISLAND iReuters)- The Duke of Edinburgh turned up at this remote Australian island outpost Saturday for a look at a whaling factory and a tour of "bloody bridge” where convicts on the former prison island once walled up the bodies of guards they murdered.

The effect of these two move: was to strengthen the reserves byi 31.300 000.000 and bring their level to more than S.'i.000.000.tl)0.

The Purpose was to restore con- fidence in Britain and her ability to pay her own way in the world.

TIGHTENING UP

"There is general agreement that . investment and consump- tion are growing too fast for our economic health." said Chancellor of the Exchequer Macmillan in February. I

So be boosted the bank rate to Sir; per cent. asked banks to re- duce loans, tightened instalment- buying arrangements and cut milk and bread subsidies. In March. a government white paper said ex- cess demand was the root of the problem.

in April, Macmililan brought down hls”d I-””J the Monte Carlo budget because of its bond lottery proposals - its purpose aimed at saving money from a government level to the; individunl's pocket. l

The government tried to hold the line-to keep full employment. ! to halt price jumps. to curb new wago demands. and to export more. import lens. This was to bet the "plateau."

IMPACT OF SUEZ

Then. in July. President Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal. a virt-p uni challenge to Britain In Octoberl Israel invaded Egypt. and Nov. 1 saw Anglo-French military opera- tions begin in the canal area.

Economically. the result was a complete disruption of the canal, which was blocked by S0 vcssesl' sunk by the Egyptians.

Tankers delivering Middle East oil were diverted around South Africa, a longer. more costly route. Shipping rates shot up. and Britain depends to a large extent on goods which reach her by sea. The United States stepped in and offered oil to Britain and Western Europe. but rationing was inevi- table
