Ex-Mental Setting Examples For General Public Br DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York -4UPD- The Na tional Association for Mental Health wants everyone to take sharp notice of what a group of form er mental pa tients are doing in Hunt ington, W. Va. It would like : a the idea to catch on eve- Jj rywhere. DeiM miu These re covered patients are talking about their illnesses as freely and fully as most recovered surgical patients talk about their operations. They .do it as a contribution to the general welfare on grounds that the public's sub-rosa attitude to ward mental illness greatly aggravates that particular public health problem. In that respect they are in complete agreement with the scientists in this field, where more tax money is spent with less public support than any other. The scientific view point is that a mental illness is an illness no less legitimate than any other, and an ill person shouldn't be stigma tized. Mar Erase Stigma This stigma, which the pub lic imposes, both prevents early treatment of mental ill ness, when treatment would be most effective, and com plete rehabilitation of the ill, according to all authorities. But "one of the reasons for this ' stigma will be erased when the recovered mental patient is willing to discuss his illness as freely as the surgical patient discusses his operation, said Drs. Thelma V. Owen and M. G. Stemmer- mann. They are directors of the Owen Clinic Institute, a small private mental hospital in Huntington, where there have been many liberal mnova tions over the years. Drs Owen and Stemmermann de scribed the pioneer mental health publicity work of the recovered patients in the asso ciation's quarterly journal. Form Club The ex-patients form a club. To be full members, they must be willing to identify them selves by name in the club's public activities. The mem- bers appear frequently on ra-1 dio and even on television to describe their illnesses and how they recovered their health. They form panels which appear before any group that is interested in learning the score about men tal illness from people who have experienced it. "Statistical evaluation of improvement in public atti tudes because of the Owen Clinic Club and its panels is impossible," said Drs. Owen and Stemmermann. "It is fre quently discouraging to club members to overhear or have it said directly: 'But of course you were never very sick like patients in the state hospital.' It is hoped that the panelists will dispel this mis . conception. Most Get Jobs "The hopeful sign is the fact that with one exception no dub member has been re fused a job following dis charge although they never hesitate to admit prior men tal illness." The one exception was a girl who returned to a factory job from the hospital, finished a high school education by correspondence, and applied to a telephone company for a job. The personnel manager okayed her but "the medical staff - general practioners working part time - refused to approve her appointment because of 'company policy'." "This case may be an ex ception," said Drs. Owen and Stemmermann. "If it is not, one may conclude that the Owen Clinic Club has been less successful in changing the attitudes of the general medical practitioner than in influencing attitudes of the general public."

The bill, introduced by the Senate Committee on Labor and Industries, provides ap pointment of the commission er by the governor and also creation of an appeal board composed of the commissioner and two other members, also appointed by the governor. Two bills amending state tax laws in conformity with the federal tax law in relation to mergers, reorganizations of corporations, partner ships also were introduced in the Senate. Present Laws In Mess Sen. Anthony Yturri (R-On-tario) said the present state laws on mergers were in a "sorry mess." An echo of the controversy which surrounded Gov. Mark Hatfield's resignation as sec retary of state is a bill intro duced by the Senate Commit tee on State and Federal Af fairs. This legislation would re quire that any public official could not resign his office un til he had turned over to his successor all records, papers and property for which he was accountable. The proposal also requires that any condition contained in the resignation of a public official, other than the date and hour of the resignation Movie makers pvnpct t make about 25 fewer feature- lengtn movies this year than the 378 they turned out last year.
