DRESSMAKING ALTERATIONS DAMAGED What happened her It still a 'mystery, at the tag on th front bumper of this ear might Indicate. A curious News Review reporter on his way home from the Yoncalla-Clendale football game at Drain observed the wrecked car through the dense fog four miles south of Yoncalla. No one was around, so the reDorter snaooed a picture and returned to Roseburg. State police had no information, except that the car, a 1941 Chrysler coupe, was registered to Dewey Lee Alexander, usi Aurora, Seattle, Wash. No ona was believed to be injured. - State Hospital Well Run, Says Mrs. Paul Geddes The Oregon State hospital is run admirably on its small bud get and under difficult conditions. That is the opinion Mrs. Paul Geddes expressed speaking be fore the Roseburg Kiwanis club Tuesday noon in the Hotel Ump qua. But, 1 she declared, it is time the people of the state of Oregon 3top thinking of inmates in these institutions as guinea pigs and to start thinking of them as human beings. For example, she pointed out, there is but one doctor to every 320 patients, whereas the Ameri can Psychiatric association spec ifies one for every 150. There is talk about mental pa tients being strapped to their beds, but what can one attendant do when he has 60 persons to take care of? she asked. Mrs. Geddes stated she had considerable opportunity to visit and study the state institutions while she was at Salem with her husband during the legislative session. . As evidence that the hospitals are run as satisfactorily as pos sible under the circumstances Is the fact 25 percent of the ad missions are voluntary and of persons forced to be readmitted for treatment after dismissal, 40 percent reenter voluntarily. Institutions crowded She stressed the crowded con ditions of all the institutions and pointed out the need for addition al room, as well as for means to provide better care and -training for the inmates. Many of the feeble minded can be taught definite trades and are found very proficient. Seventeen patients were in the Army dur ing the last war. It is possible to train many of these inmates to become useiui citizens, sne sam, One of the bi Droblems at the state penitentiary, according to Mrs. Geddes, is finding some thing lor the people to ao. me penitentiary Is greatly over crowded, and there cannot be made available sufficient em ployment Prison occupational la bor has met with considerable opposition from labor groups, but, she stated, the facts must be faced that something must be done to provide the inmates with an occupation, in order that they may fit into society .when they are discharged. - Next week's Kiwanis meeting will observe American Education week. The meeting will be held in the Junior high school library at noon. Walter Fisher will speak on Ms recent European trip. . BITING DOG IMPARTIAL ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.
