It is well known that little trou-. blcs which are neglected can, and often do, grow into big problems. The whole new idea in mental health is to find ways of helping mentally troubled people in their home communities. And that's the goal of the new Menial Health Association of Doug las County, a United Fund par ticipant. "In this atomic-jet-space age, there are many new factors which cause tension," a spokesman for the group said. "There arc few persons who escape these prob lems. Often they are supplement ed by other hardships, such as death in the family, failures or accidents. Load Too Heavy "Sometimes the load is too heavy and they are like persons caught in quicksand they need help to get out!" Last year the Central Douglas County United Fund set aside mon ey to support local mental health i . ' Polls .. , ! . - Douglas Residents Answer Blood Plea The Forest Glen Hospital has stat ed that in addition to the Canyon ville Volunteer Fire Department answering the call for blood in the case of Norman Hansen, people from surrounding areas also of fered their blood. The hospital and the Hansen fam ily have expressed their apprecia tion to all who responded, accord ing to Beth Chappell, correspond ent. The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Canyonville in September and all townspeople are urged to donate their blood, said Aliss Chap pell. Those who responded to the need in the case of Norman Hansen are reminded that it is just as im portant to give their blood to the bloodmobile as to do so in case of an emergency. The Oregon State Police rushed five pints of blood from two Rose burg hospitals and one pint from Myrtle Creek in a very short time. This was made possible through the Red Cross Bloodmobile of which the Forest Glen Hospital is a member, stated Miss Channell.

The Mental Health As sociation of Douglas County is now established and has joined the Mental Health Association of Oregon. Again this year the United Fund will assist in mental health programs for the Roseburg area. The purpose of the association is to promote mental health in Douglas County. Early treatment in the home community can be effective in reducing suffering and is helpful in preventing major ill ness. A breakdown in the family can occur when a member who needs treatment is sent to a dist ant city and it is an aim of the association to see that local mental health clinics and psychiatric wards in general hospitals are available to all who need them. A National Goal President Kennedy in a message to Congress in February of this year proposed a national -program for mental health. He said: "The new approach relies primarily upon the new knowledge and new drugs acquired and developed in recent years which make it pos sible for most of the mentally ill to be successfully and quickly treated in their own communities and returned to a useful place in society." A bill is now before Congress which would appropriate money to be used for this purpose. The development of community mental health centers should pro vide more effective treatment at less expense in the long run sociation officers believe. Oregon Stale recently established a small intensive-treatment h o s p i t a 1 20 miles from Portland. The hospital treated 1,400 patients last year with a per-paticnt cost of about $800 in comparison with $2,000 to $3,000 at the old style state hos pitals. Invited To Booth Officers hope that Douglas Coun ty residents who attend the fan- will make it a point to drop by the mental health booth and re ceive some of the free literature explaining the recent progress in mental health. Mental illness is now the number one health prob lem. The problems being exper ienced in Douglas County are the same as those found in commun ities across the nation. There are many outstanding examples of communities that have banded to gether to solve their problems The association feels confident that Douglas County citizens can and will do the same, officials stated. County residents who are con cerned about the problem of men tal health can help by joining the county's new Mental Health Association. ti I 1 '- 1 t ill- I MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION officers ore pictured as they prepore booth display in the Community Building at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

WASHINGTON (UPI) The Public Health Service (PHS) ex pects radioactive strontium-90 in milk, already at a record amount to increase in the next several months. During the 12 month period end ing in May, the count was the highest in the history of nuclear testing and was nearly twice that recorded in May, 1962 the PHS said Saturday. The Federal Ra diation Council said the count still was far below the amount which, if consumed annually, would injure man. At the same time, the PHS said that another radioactive substance sampled in milk, iodine 131, was at a record low. A spokesman said this was because iodinc-131 has a much shorter life than strontium-90 following' a nuclear explosion. The PHS blamed the unusually high strontium 90 on atmospheric tests conducted last year by the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States resumed testing after the Soviet Union ended the nuclear test moratori um in September, IBM. ut ficials estimated that more radio active material was released at that time than in all the nuclear explosions before the 1958 mora torium. The council has estimated that a human being can absorb 73,000 picocuries of radioactive strontium-90 in a year before protective action must be con sidered. A oicocurio is one mil lion-millionth of the amount of radiation given off by one gram of radium. In a statement the radiation council said: "Health risks from present fall out levels due to testing through 1962 are too small to require measures to limit intako by modification of diet or alternat ing the normal distribution of use of foods. 559 Get Degrees EUGENE (UPI) -The Univer sity of Oregon summer gradua tion class of 559 received degrees at the second annual summer commencement exercises Saturday.

"We are always keeping our fingers crossed that something will come up." London newspapers reported to day that Scotland Yard was on the trail of four or five known criminals who may have taken part in the daring robbery early Thursday morning at Chedding ton, 40 miles north of London. Scotland Yard refused to con firm the reports. "We have not said anything of the kind," a spokesman for the famed police force said. McArthur made no reference to the newspaper stories in a news ! conference at on-the-spot police j headquarters at Aylesbury. He said detectives' were very j interested in a stolen truck found i abandoned at Retford, 70 miles j from the ambush scene.

' The body of the 60-year-old Democrat who died Saturday of a heart attack will be flown to his native Madisonvillc, Tenn.,' on a military transport. The body will lie in state in Madisonvillc's First Baptist Church from 11 a.m. EDT to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. From the small church, Kefau ver's body will be taken to the family farm. After brief services on the front porch, he will be interred in the cemetery near the old red brick farm house. Kefauver's widow and four chil dren, a delegation from the Sen ate and the nine-members of the House from Tennessee will fly from Washington to Knoxville aboard a presidential jet plane Tuesday and go by automobile to Madisonville for the funeral Sought Presidency Hundreds of persons including members ot the House and Sen ate paid their respects Sunday at a Washington funeral home where the body was on view. Kefauver, a loner whose great political sophistication contrasted with his earnest, plodding cam paign style, twice aspired to his party's presidential nomination. But the goal eluded him, though he was the successful candidate for vice president in 1956. Following tradition, the Senate will meet today to be officially notified of Kefauver's death. It will then adjourn for the day without transaction of any busi ness except for the naming of the delegation. It was as the crusading cham pion of a Senate crime investi gating committee that Kefauver first gained national prominence. The widely televised hearings were marked by Kefauver prod ding away in a soft Tennessee drawl and receiving spouses from witnesses. Using the Davy Crockett coon skin cap as his symbol and the handshake as his principal wea pon, Kafauver campaigned unsuc cessfully for the Democratic pres idential nomination in 1952. Four years later he was the running mate of Adlai Stevenson, the man who defeated him for the nomina tion in 1952 and 1956. After the 1956 campaign he de voted himself mainly to the chairmanship of the Senate Anti Monopoly subcommittee, chain pioning the cause of the nation's consumers. He demonstrated the same cru sading vigor in denouncing prices of drugs as he had in castigating the criminals who once appeared before him, or in bucking the machine of Memphis, Tenn., po litical boss Edward H. Crump to run for senator for the first time in 1948.
