Capital Journal Photos) Guided Tours Scheduled at State Hospital During Open House on Sunday Afternoon Serving the Public Therapy Help In Patient Treatment By FRED ZIMMERMAN Capital Journal Writer National Mental Health week will be observed begin ning April 28 and in this con nection Oregon State Hospital will hold open house Sunday afternoon. Guided tours will take visi tors through several of ' the buildings, from 2 to 6 p.m There will be opportunity to in spect several Important phases of what is being done to correci men tal illnesses and effect cures. Time was when an "insane asy lum" was a 'place where an in mate could expect little other than to remain (here until death ef fected a release.' Now Truly Hospitals Now. throush modern corrective methods such institutions are truly hospitals where things arc done lor the patient. Returning him to society as a useful citizen not only is a humanitarian act, but con stitutes a -relief tor the taxpayer, those in charge state. Occupational therapy and psy chiatry play Important parts in providing relief to tnc mentally disturbed. Oregon State Hospital is (First of a Series) Salem is the center of Oregon's governmental activity and the purpose of government is to serve the public. Today we present the first in a series of feature stories and pictures .which will be devoted to telling the public what governmental departments and institutions are, doing. The scries will discuss activities of county and city governmental units as well as those on the state level. . noon shifts, are currently occupied in the O.T. department. There seems to be more free dom of movement for many of the 3.568 patients who were housed in the -sprawling plant of the State Hospital early in the week. Natur ally, a large number of them have to remain behind locked doors. Some Play Games But out on the grounds, when weather conditions permit, one sees patients playing tennis, bad minton and other games that are calculated to build morale and physical strngth. Others are con tent to sit on the benches and ground in contemplation. The old drab-colored uniforms that wcro considered the style for mental patients arc little in evi dence. Many of the patients, es pecially the women, are dressed in lively colors. This change, no doubt, is a part of the program of doing as much in these fields as trying to change the attitude of funds will permit. During a visit to the O.T. (oc cupational therapy, department there was ample opportunity to see what was being done for var ious types of mentally disturbed patients. O.T. is not primarily aimed to help the sick person gei well. Rather it is considered use- Ihe mentally depressed. The library, which seems too small for an institution as large as the hospital, is well patronized. It doubles as a place for reading and card-playing. The auditorium in the main building appears entirely inade quate. Here dances are held as well as entertainments. A table tennis set was providing the maxi mum amount of skill for a nurse's aide and three patients, one a Negro. Probably the best exemple of environmental change is found in the kitchen and central dining room. Modern lights, highly pol ished equipment and tables that seat small groups provide a home atmosphere not customarily found in a state institution. Persons who visit the hospital Sunday will not find a place where they would like to live, but they will realize that a real effort is being made to help those unfor tunates who must remain there for a period of time. Easiiis Mental Tensions Patients occupy themselves under ex pert guidance in the Industrial Therapy Building. Various activities are assigned men and women after consultation with a staff doctor. Approximately 100 work here on a two-shift basis. Navy Chief ' Gets Gripe Over Movie Seating by Rank WASHINGTON IUP Navy listed man by way of Sen.

In another case where a woman patient had shown a decisive hos tile attitude she was set to work tearing an old broom to pieces. Others were weaving and working with wood. A number of flats placed where they would catch the maximum amount of warmth from the sun. contained vegetable plants which would later be trans planted in a garden set aside for the patients.
