Lions Eye Bank Aids Oklahoma Sight Restoration Efforts
The Lions Eye Bank in Oklahoma City has restored sight for nearly 2000 residents since 1957. Donor cards exceed 3500, with a current donor effort tied to White Cane Week in Lawton. Donor eyes are rushed to the Eye Institute, stored briefly, and transplanted across six state towns, at no cost to patients.

Sunshine Tavern Closed by Court After Hearing
Dist. Judge Jack Brock ordered the sheriff to padlock the California Sunshine Club at 2615 Cache Road as a public nuisance after a three day hearing. Lawton City Council sought the injunction citing lewd dancing, obscene acts, gambling, drunkenness, and minors permitted inside the club. The operator Ann Logsdon was chided by the judge who warned of stricter standards for decency and morals in local taverns.
