Title: His goal: return to Korea.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31633 HIS GOAL: RETURN TO KOREA MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- Two heart attacks within nine months won't prevent this missionary bishop's return to his See in Korea. Archbishop Harold Henry of Kwangju, a native of Minneapolis, is convalescing in that city pending doctor's permission to take up such Korean tasks as operator of the "largest piggy bank in the world." One of his "aid" programs in Kwangju saw him secure 523 purebred sows, building up a "piggy bank" which last year saw the archdiocese distribute 5,000 piglets to farmers. Archbishop Henry, by sending three nuns to Ireland to study the development of home-spun tweed from lamb's wool, provided a profitable at-home occupation for Korean women. His many "self-help" projects have drawn assistance from the U.S. Food for Peace Program and the German hierarchy -- gifts from the German prelates financed importation of Australian sheep. The 55-year-old prelate said he often borrows ideas developed by the 4-H Club movement in the U.S. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (MS-MINN-9E-64-W)

Title: The eyes are ecumenical.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31045 THE EYES ARE ECUMENICAL WALNUT CREEK, Cal. -- A Roman Catholic optometrist smiles as he watches hundreds of old eyeglasses, frames and lenses added to a growing pile destined for the Presbyterian Eye Clinic at Taegu, Korea. Head of the project, “Eyes for Korea,” is Dr. George Hurd, far left; helping the campaign, left to right, are Dr. Kan of Oakland, Cal., president of a two-country optometric society; and Mrs. Ross Griffin and Mrs. James Crosby of regional women’s groups. A Presbyterian patient, Mrs. Elsie Exner of Walnut Creek, Cal., started the campaign rolling when she mentioned to Dr. Hurd the need of the Korean eye clinic for old eyeglasses. He enlisted opticians and optometrists over a wide area, and in a short time 15,000 sets of usable, old glasses were contributed. Manufacturers contributed 500 new frames. All are consigned to Dr. Howard Moffett, chief of the Presbyterian Medical Center at Taegu. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (AKM-WC-5D-64-W)
