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."

commission is provided in a
bill read for the first time in
the Senate Tuesday.
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
