at -Omero claims to have
been first at more than 300 assorted
events.
He was the first to drive over the
George Washington and Henry Hud-

way, first to ride the Eighth avenue
subway, first to buy ticket at the
new Pennsylvania Station in New

land at La Guardia Field-and
first in war as well as first in peace
the first New Yorker to register for
the draft.
Then, of course, he's helped to
open dozens of parks, post offices
and swimming pools. He bought the
city's first War Bond after vi day.
In 1889, he and his bride stood in
line for the first marriage license
issued that year And within six
months, he was the first to enter the
Worlds Fair gates.
Catan is Office manager for the
Yankee Stadium concessionaire and
so usually can swing time off to
pursue his hobby.
Naturally, there's competition.

sight to the blind.
They volunteered in response to a
recent appeal by DR.. H. E. Pine,
president of the national optometric
fraternity, Beta Sigma Kappa.
A soldier at March Field, Calf,
wrote:
II hereby bequeath, after my
death, my eyes. to be used to aid
those so unfortunate as to lose their
own God-given sight"
A Washington ID. c. widow,
who volunteered her eyes for post
humous charity, reported some peo-
pie thought 1t was "a big thing to
do" She added: Really, it is only
a sensible thing"
An elderly Chicago woman, who
spends hours reading to blind stu
dents, promised to donate her eyes
when she dies, and commented: "I
think it's wonderful thing"
DR.. Pine has received IL such
letters, and several telephone calls
and personal visits, from people who
are willing to leave their eyes to the
sightless. He considers the showing
remarkable since his plea was not
directed to the general public, but
to members of the fraternity. The
men and women who communicated
with him had read about his pro-
posal in newspapers. None of them
knew his address.
