Mentally Deficient Home
Aptly Named 'Fairview'
By WILLIAM WARREN
(United Pri BtaM Correspondent)
Fairview home, one of the nation's outstanding havens lor the
mentally deficient, is most aptly named.
Fairview.
From the hill on which the 13 cottages which make up the
Institution are located, you have one of the fairest views of
sr, " ..... ...i ty
TY illtllllCllC V
ley. It's out on
B a 1 1 1 e c reek
road, some two
miles from the
southeast edge
of Salem.
Home. Fair
view is home'
in fact, to all
children once
admitted to its
care. The pa
tients are
known as children whether they
are 10 days old (the youngest)
or 81 years old (the oldest).
And once they are committed
to Fairview, it is their home.
They may even go out into the
normal community and lead use
ful lives, but if anything goes
wrong outside, they can always
return to Fairview.
Which brings us to two of the
features which have brought
Fairview national recognition as
one of the finest in its field.
First, Fairview is one of the
few of its kind that is an open
institution. That is, there is no
fence around the 640 acres on
which it lies. There are no bars
on the windows. The doors re
main unlocked. The children
patients have the freedom of
the place.
Girls occupy one cottage, boys
another, and so on. But when it
comes to recreation there is no
segregation, other than what
you'll find in a public school,
where the boys play ball on one
field and the girls play their
separate games on another.
There are dances and movies
nd socials.
The girls have clubs. The boys
have scout troops.
Second, the objective of Fair
view is to send as many of its
patients as possible back into
the normal community to earn
their productive way.
We're niclined to think of the
mentally deficient the feeble
minded as the helpless ones,
who can't take care of them
selves to any extent. Actually,
these represent only a small
part ol the population at Fair
view. Under the leadership of Dr.
Irvin B. Hill, superintendent,
Fairview is educating the pa
tients as fully as possible to fit
them for simple jobs outside.
Out of 1,000 consecutive admis
sions, for instance, 451 have
'been discharged, the majority
of them to make their own way.
- Roughly a fourth of all the
patients are actually attending
school classes at the home.
Fairview ahs a work place
ment bureau. Able social work
ers Mrs. Lillian Bristow and
Mrs. Alice Miles investigate
each home or business applying
to the home for employes. The
social workers determine if the
home or business is a suitable
place for the class of employe
Fairview can furnish.
Actually there is a greater de
mand for help from Fairview
than there are persons available.
The boys make good farm
hands and the girls good domes
tic help. They like simple tasks
nd actually do many monoton
ous chores more capably than
the mentally normal.
The result of this Oregon sys
tem of sending out patients able
to earn their way is that Fair
view home is just about able to
take care of the state's mentally
deficient despite the rapid
growth of Oregon's population.
The watlng list now is only
22. Some stales have waiting
lists as high as 5,000. Take the
other Pacific coast states: Cali
fornia has a wailing list of 3,000;
Washington of more than 1,000.
Dr. Hill sums up the objec
tives of Fairview in this way:
"We have two separate func
tions. First, we are custodians
for those not able to take care
of themselves. Second, and most
important, we act as a training
school for those who aren't able
to keep up with the regular
courses of study in the public
Schools.
"In general, almost half of all
admissions, once they are train
ed here, go out to take jobs
simple, of course, but neverthe
less productive jobs in the nor
mal community."
These patients are not sent
back into the community with
the ability to reproduce more

Before a patient goes to a job,
he is sterilized. But this is not
forced.
In fact, the patient is protect
ed three ways. First he must
give his consent. Second his
nearest relative must give con
sent. And third the state board
of Eugenics must hold a hearing
and issue the sterilization order.
Dr. Hill points out that these
patients have a full problem in
just supporting themselves and
are not capable of supporting a
family,
Dr. Hill considers diet of
prime importance, both from the
physical viewpoint and the
viewpoint of morale. As he says:
"If a patient has a good bed and
three good meals a day, he can
put up with a lot of things."
Dietitian Ethel Mclntyre sees
to it that the meals are suffi
cient and well balanced. And in
season, there s a basket of fruit
grown on the home's own or
chard in each cottage for be-tween-meal
snacks.
-
Helping Dr. Hill make Fair
view the nationally-recognized
home it is are Dr. Dominic Cal
licrate, assistant superintendent;
Dr. Scott McKeown and Dr. Da
vid Mason, physicians; Jack
Horner, administrative assist
ant; Mrs. Daye Idleman, princi
pal of the school, and a staff of
more than 200 attendants and
other paid employes.
Plans are in the making to
build a new one-story concrete
hospital, estimated to cost $260,.
000, to replace the one badlv
damaged by fire May 18. The
new building will have no frills
but it will be thorouehlv
equipped with the best and in
tne Jong run most economical-
surgical and other requirements.

W. L. Phillips, general man
ager of the Valley Motor Car
company, 375 Center street, nas
entered his dealership in a $100,-
000 car safety contest sponsored
by the Ford division, Ford Mo
tor company. '
Mr. Phillips is one of 6,400
Ford dealers throughout the na
tion who has entered his dealer-
herd, producing all the milk
used by Fairview patients. It
grows its own hogs for pork, and
its own poultry for eggs. It has
300 acres of orchard, 30 of gar
den and 350 acres in feed. If that
adds up to the more than 640
acres of Fairview, it's okay. The
home leases the additional land
nearby.
The patients near the normal
mental level are permitted to go
into Salem on Saturdays, some
20 at a Saturday. They have
what money they've earned
from odd jobs or their folks have
sent, and shop or go to the mo
vies. They are back at the home

organizations.
Ned H. Dearborn, president of
the national safety council, in a
letter to L. D. Crusoe, vice
president and general manager
of the Ford division, said:
"Certainly every motorist
should check and double check
the mechanical condition of his
car for safety's sake, and you
at Ford are making such a
check easily available for all
drivers throughout the country.
"And I am sure that this free
check-up and safety contest,
with its attractive prizes, will
make Americans more safety
conscious it will save lives."
In order to participate in the
contest, Phillips pointed out,
motorists must bring their car
or truck, of any make, to the
dealership for a safety check at
absolutely no cost or obligation
to the motorist.
