Stanton An interesting: bit of psychology was called to my at tention recently by Dr. George L. Wadsworth, manager of the veterans hospital at Roseburg. Heretofore the hospital administration has maintained a large farm acreage. It has operated on the theory that the best physical and mental therapy is to be obtained by outdoor work with soil and growing things. These thera peutic values have definite proof and are generally used in neuro-psychiatric hospitals everywhere. The mentally disturbed patient, given a piece of ground for which he has sole responsibility and a chance to pro duce something of value, obtains from Mother Nature phys ical and mental heuling no miracle drugs or scientific in ventions can duplicate. No patient is forced to work. He is given the oppor tunity to take over a plot of ground, if he so desires. Most of the patients like to spend some of their time at this out door labor. Peculiarly, though, when Dr. Wadsworth recently start ed a landscaping program, he found a rare enthusiasm amnntr natients. It was nuzzling at first, but a little re search revealed that the majority of the patients are from the Pacific Northwest and are interested in trees. Ambitious Program Outlined Under Dr. Wadsworth's direction, hospital mainten ance crews, assisted by patients, have planted more than 4,000 trees on hospital grounds. Boy Scouts set out another 2,000. Plans call for another 4,000, plus replacements for those seedlings failing to survive from earlier plantings. In addition to trees, the ambitious landscaping program calls for many acres of lawn, shrubs and flowers. Patients have exhibited an enormous pride in the tree planting project and the general landscaping theme. They tenderly nurse the young seedlings and grieve when one dies. Dr. Wadsworth has found that environment is of great influence upon project success. In Iowa, where he pre viously was stationed, patients were anxious to participate in the farm operation. But patients from the Northwest, where trees fit into the industrial and recreational picture, have little interest in growing farm crops, but are exhibit ing great enthusiasm for tree planting. A few, naturally, still are fond of farming. To satisfy their needs, a limited garden project will be maintained. The administration, though, is going out of the business of growing produce for hospital use. Office Atmosphere Created Dr. Wadsworth was described by one of his staff mem bers as a "fiend for detail." I can well understand that description after an inspection of changes made at the hospital. Dr. Wadsworth is in charge of a hospital for treatment of patients with nervous and mental disorders. He hews to a theory that "everything should be done for the pa tient." He believes that surroundings can exert a power ful healing influence. In keeping with this theory, he has endeavored to re lieve; insofar as possible, the atmosphere of a hospital. The institution more closely resembles a'- large business establishment. This change has been achieved by little things. For example, the directory, which lists offices and departments, was switched to the type normally found in an office build ing. Instead of uniform color scheme throughout, as is generally found in an institution of this type, Dr. Wads worth has caused quarters and rooms to be decorated in a variety of warm and pleasing colors, thus relieving monotony. Many similar schemes, most of them minor in character, combine to give a more comfortable and sooth ing environment which Dr. Wadsworth believes will be conducive to earlier discharge of curable patients. The Roseburg hospital has always had fine record for discharges one of the best among N-P hospitals. Dr. Wadsworth hopes by a program of little things not only to maintain this reputation but to improve it. There's Not Much Use in Holding the Conventions Television Fails To Keep Continuity Of Personnel Among Producers, Directors By CHARLES MERCER NEW YOKK ( it's probable that a bis majority of the tele vision audience is unfamiliar with the name of Arthur Pcnn. It's also probable that within a few years his name will be quite familiar. How will this happen? Well, Penn might direct a couple of Broadway stage hits or a movie that cops a prize. Then, as the warm wave of publicity breaks o;er Arthur Penn's head, he will bs called the noted director of television dramas. But let's get this straight at once. Penn is not a publicity hound. He merely represents a condilion in the television industry. Unlike the movie industry, tele, vision generally fails to maintain continuity of personnel in its pro ducers, directors and writers. In Penn's own words: "Television refuses to grow up and say we're a legitimate mcdi lira. Us people have to go to films or the stage to acquire prominent staiure. ' Penn is a lean, quiet-speaking ex-infantryman who failed to re turn to his native Philadelphia aft er World War II. Instead, he took Coe, drew around him in the de velopment of some of television's finest talents. With Delbert Mann and Vincent J. Donehue he makes up a triumverate of brilliant young directors, fie is directing "The King and Mrs. Candle," which will appear on Producers' Showcase (NBC-TV) Aug. 22, and has started work on a series of hour-long live dramas which will come to the TV screen every fortnight in the fall. He also is directing a play, "Blue Denim,' which will premiere on Broadway Nov. 28. Mann and Donehue also are di recting plays in addition to Iheir TV work. Mann is an example of a noted television director who was practically unknown to the general public until he went outside Ihe fold. Alter directing the prize winning movie adaptation .pf Paddy Chayefsky's "Marty," lie suddenly had stature in the public mind. Why does television fail, with a few notable exceptions, to build this stature of its directors, writ ers, actors, producers? "Well," says Penn. "I think that television management is oriented in its viewpoint around 'ne comcdi - Specific Objections To Picnickers Listed ROSEBURG In reply to the Aug. 4, Reader Opinion letter, further investigation would prove conditions to be otherwise than stated. The land owners do not mind those who use the beach properly. But tney do not like to be chased oft their own land by those using it. The beer party by those of the past and also of those who go over as a party to swim, ski, picnic and drink beer in excess while handling a boat, is not in good taste, nor are beer cans and bot tles on the beach. Would those who throw them on the beach do the same in their yards? Broken glass has no respect for bare feet.

To you speed boat sportsmen it would be nice if you respected the swimmers in the South river. As for myself and others who like fishing and who fish at The Forks for salmon trout and steel head, we sit back not griping, for there are many others enjoy ing themselves during the warm summer months.

This is made "conclusively clear." he said in a statement, by the text of the Federal Power Commission's ruling in the Hells Canyon case. The commission's opinion, he said, suggested the damming of the the royally of television. Their ca reers are mercurial. They interest the oig sponsors because they get big ratings and sell the products. But they also burn out quickly." He pauses thoughtfully and then adds, "but maybe it won't always be that way.

Pipe-smoking Frederick James Chapman, about 40, was formally booked for a court hearing after hours of Questioning. Chapman's father was chief of "Tile Scotland Yards famed murder squad until his death two weeks a.20. The victims were Mis. Irene Chapman, 30, and her baby girl. I:ene. Scotland Yard said that Chap man, who teaches at a school in the fashionable suburb of Orping ton, had called Friday night at a police station m Brighton, 50 miles south of Loidon.

Senator Smith's statement is confirmed by Navy Secretary Thomas, who has just announced that he will review the case fully and impartially. In situations of this sort, it's so hard to judge when we know so lit tle of all the circumstances. 1 think it will be better to withhold judg ment until we know more of the facts. Visitation of the sins of the par- i ents upon the children is an an cient human tragedy. Euripides j referred to it some four centuries before the birth of Christ when he ! said in one of his Fragments: i gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children." In .Merchant of Venice, some 20 centuries later, Shakespeare used almost the same words: "The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children." I I hope the time may come when human beings will be so tolerant and so fair that each of us will be judged upon HIS OWN record.
