Mental Aid Clinic Seen Obtainable In Jackson County i A total of more than 200 persons attended sessions of a conference on mental health which was held here yesterday. Melvin Murphy, Portland, di rector of the Oregon Mental Health association, was speak er at morning, noon and eve ning meetings. ' Murphy told those attending that it would be possible for Jackson county to obtain wider child guidance and psychiatric ; services "than at present obtain 1 able. He explained that the trav eling clinic maintained by the 'University of Oregon medical school will no longer be sent to communities where the spon sorship is limited. 'Cooperation Needed I But he pointed out that i through cooperative endeavors of volunteer groups, present or ganizations and agencies such as the juvenile court, the wel- . fare office and the schools, a i regular schedule of visits could '-be set up in this area, perhaps 'through the cooperation of ' Southern Oregon college. He praised Jackson county for setting up the first organi zation of which he has heard for child services, and empha sized the importance of mental health work by pointing out that Oregon has the highest suicide frate of any state in the nation, 'and one of the highest divorce rates. Mew Developments His association, he said, is interested in interceding on be half of those with mental ill- ; nesses, and training teachers, parents and others how to avoid mental illness. New develop ments in Oregon recently, he re- , ported, include the location here ol two new psychiatrists, and the setting up of a school at the university for training in psy chiatric social work. !l. Dr. William Thompson, vice chairman of the Jackson County Council for Children and Youth, presided at the morning meet ing in the YMCA and explained the council's purposes. A film, "Angry Boy," dealing with a youth who steals and is cured by psychiatric help, was shown and discussed. Workshop, Film During the afternoon a "work shop" for school officials and law enforcement officers on tru ancy problems was held, and in the evening another film, "Feel ing of Rejection," was shown at a meeting in the junior high school. This picture showed the influence of the home and par ents, and the school and teach ers, on young people. During the day Murphy urged support for a proposed consti tutional amendment which would permit the construction of a state institution for mental patients In Multnomah county, and pointed out that more than half of the patients at both Salem and Pendleton mental hospitals come from the area surrounding Portland. A new hospital would permit better treatment for those need ing it at all three hospitals, plus better custodial care for senile patients from the metropolitan area, he said. P r o m o t d Kenneth H. Brown and Don Williams, both stationed at Ft. Hood, Tex., with the Army, received promotions recently, according to news re ceived by relatives here.

Most cars lead A good part of the time, they're running errands, taking children to school, taking women to stores, taking men to work, taking family and friends to clubs and social functions. It doesn't call for a very great output of horsepower for duties like these. But there are times when you want a car that can do vastly more, and these are the times when you'll want what this year's Roadmaster has to offer. Beneath its proud hood, there's a Fireball 8 Engine a valve-in-head that can let loose 170 lively horse power when needed. And alongside this engine there's also an Airpower carburetor which thriftily feeds fuel and air through two smaller-than-usual barrels for normal 955.10 last year.
