The document was prepared

The citizens plan to spear'

Still unresolved is the legal

Amendmtnts Adopted
At Wednesday's meeting, the
commission adopted most of the
amendments in the original
draft which had been approved
by the House during the 1963
legislative session.

In the heated apportionment
issue, the commission went
along with the Senate plan
which slightly favors the thinly
populated areas of the s t a t e,

Health, at a Rotary Club lunch
con today in the Umpqua Hotel.
Dr. Treleaven's topic was
"The Cost of Mental Health
Services."
"If we hospitalized patients
at the same rate as we did in
1953, we would now have 5,000
patients in Oregon hospitals in
stead of the present 3,600 and
the cost to the taxpayer would
be three and a third million
more dollars per year," he said
The slate official is scheduled
to make a second Roseburg talk
tonight at 8 at Roseburg Wom
an's Club, 747 SE Mosher. The
topic will be "Revolutionary
New Concepts in the Field of
Mental Health. This meeting
is sponsored by the Mentall
Health Association of Douglas
County.
Trclcaven told Rotarians
"providing adequate mental
health services is basically an
individual responsibility which
must be carried out at the com
munity level. The main job of
a state mental health agency is
to point out the problems and
to assist local groups in devel
oping adequate services."
As administrator, Trelcavcn
is responsible for all state men
tal hospitals, the home for the
retarded and the Alcohol Stud
ies and Rehabilitation Center
Ho also has some responsibility
for the 17 mental health clinics
throughout the state.

At present, the president of

Commissioners felt the sue
