New State Hospital
Construction Starts
At Groundbreaking
Wilsonville TJ Twenty
five years of planning bore its
first fruit here Friday afternoon
at groundbreaking ceremonies
for the new F. H. Dammasch
state hospital.
Applying foot to shovel were
Gov. Robert D. Holmes, Secre
tary of State Marie Hatfield,
State Treasurer Sig Unander,
Mrs. F. H. Dammasch, and two
daughters. Mrs. Donald Sieg
mund and Mrs. Max Carman, all
of Portland.
The new IS million dollar
general mental hospital will be
the most expensive institution
In state history when it is com
pleted in 1963 to house 1500
patients.
Dr. Dammasch, Portland phys
ician and legislator, first envis
ioned the hospital 25 years ago
as an Institution for aged pa
tients.
Approved by People
That idea was approved by
the people in 1952. When the
state legislature decided there
was more need for a general
mental hospital, that idea was
also approved by the people in
1954.
Speaking for the board of con
trol before about 200 persons
gather! for ceremonies. Secre
tary of State Hatfield said:
"As we break ground for a
gigantic facility for mental ill
ness, we must be ever mindful
that we cannot depend entirely
on modern structures and won
der drugs to do a Job for rehab
ilitation. The caliber of person
nel and the degree of public
support are the .measuring
sticks for the job that will be
done here."
Hatfield said It was the hope
of '.ie bsjard that the Institution
might "re-illumine the mind, re
store the spirit and reunite fa
milies." Dr. John Evans, chairman of
the Mental Hygiene committee
of the State Medical society,
sai' he hoped that Dammasch
would become a dynamic hos
pital, not just a group of bull
dings. Mrs. Margaret M. Sharp,
chairman ojt, the Mental Health
association's' hospital committee
rihnked the many citizens and
i groups who have cared about
and voted for the Institution.
Surveys have shown that Ore
gon needs 2,300 beds to add to
the 4,500 now available for men
tal patients. By 1965, that need
will be an estimated 9,700 beds
despite progress in therapy.
Speakers praised Dr. Dam
masch for his valiant and long
endeavor for the hospital. Mrs.
Dammasch was presented with
a plaque commemorating the oc
casion. Some $6,330,000 has. been ap
propriated for the first phase of
the hospital on which construc
tion will start next spring. The
fi:A unit will house 460 patients.
Albany Child Killed
In Bicycle Mishap
Albany W Matthew Lund
berg, 8, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don
ald Lundberg, Albany, was
killed instantly Friday night
when he rode his bicycle in front
of an automobile near the south
east city limits of Albany.
According to deputy coroner
Walter Kropp, the driver of the
car Edmund LeRoy Mapes,
35, Albany did not see the boy
but stopped his car after feeling
slight bump, and then seeing
the wheel of a bicycle in the
q rear view mirrow.
Kropp said the boy had
emerged from a lane onto south
Waverly drive on which Mapes
was traveling south. He added
the noise of a threshing machine
operating nearby may have
drowned out ie sound of the
approaching car.
The dead boy's father is an
Albany Union hlehchool teach
er. Matthew was the oldest of
five children in the family.

then made a circus style escape

woman of many aliases and
many talents, spanned the ocean

base at San Francisco, will re
place this service with four
