It is not humane to ship mental pa tients unreasonably far from their families, as is now done in the case of many Portland patients who are sent to Pendleton more than 200 miles away. 3. By having the physically able patients do their own work and help with the infirm patients, the costs could be cut mater ially. 4. Proximity of the proposed hospital to the University of Oregon medical school in Portland who would be a natural "tie In" for education. ' 5. The national trend toward general mental hospitals with special wings for the treatment of the aged, rather than toward hospitals for the aged only. 6. By putting the new hospital in Portland efficient use could be made of a large reservoir of volunteer help. 7. Builders of a general mental hospital can likely get federal financial help. They can't get such help for a hospital for the aged only. 8. The legislature might interpret a "no" vote as a sign that the voters had changed their minds about any hospital since the 1952 election. The legislature might therefore again ignore the mandate of the people and refuse to appropriate money for the sew institution. Arguments Against There are arguments against the measure, too: 1. The aged patient in a general mental hospital will possibly be passed over by doctors who spend more of their time with younger patients who are more likely to be cured. 2. If a new general mental hospital is built, it ought to b built in Southern Oregon rather than in Portland. 3. One third of the mental patients in the state are aged. Thus, if a third mental hospital is built, it ought to be for this group. 4. Senile patients ought to be cared for by the state, but they ought not to have to bear the stigma of going to a traditional mental hospital. They should have a place of their own. If the measure passes Nov. 2, the legislature will then be faced with a "second mandate" to come up with the money for the pro ject. If it fails, the 1952 law will still be on the books. This .will obligate the legislature, legally and morally, to build the "geria trics hospital" for the aged only. However, there is the possibility that if the measure is defeated, the legislature will interpret it is a change of heart on. the part of the voters. IM 4L m.M.MM.m M M-A.M M M M. m M M. M .
