The Medical ( f . V or Menial Health Most Important At a big meeting in Chicago last June, the American Medi cal association emphasized the fact that men tal illness is the type of illness that most people would like to "sweep under the rug" and forget. T h e yj don t want to hear anything about it. Now Alvarez the National Association for Mental Health (10 Columbus Circle, New York 19, N. Y.) is joining with the A.M. A. in an effort to improve the care of persons with mental troubles. The National Association plans to aid with the development of those new drugs which to day are greatly helping either depressed or overly excited people. Efforts are being made to open the doors of many wards of mental hospitals: also, to put more psychiatric wards into general city hospitals -where "menial patients" can he cared for without any sligma.

Today many of the quiet and well-behaved patients in a mental hospital are permit ted to go out into the garden, or even downtown, perhaps to the Public Library. A point we should all remember is that most .of the patients in a mental hospital are not dan gerous to anyone, and hence no one need be afraid of them. When they come out of a hos pital, no employer should be afraid to give them a job. May Refuse Help When a person becomes mentally mixed -up and he needs hospitalization, he may refuse to go for help. Then his parents or brothers may won der if they should get the police to take him or if they should get him into the hos pital by deceit. I do not ap prove of either method; it makes the patient very angry with his family, and this is unfortunate. Many a time when the fam ily has brought me a relative like this who needed care in a mental hospital but who refused to go, all I had to do was to have a friendly chat with him. When I gained his confidence, I asked him if he didn't really think it would be a wise thing to go and get treated so he could get well and come back soon to his family, and his business, and he said, "Yes, I guess you're right, Doctor. I know that of late I have been doing some silly things and have been wasting a lot of money; give me the admission slip and I'll go to the hospital" - and he went. Sometimes a person slipping into a psychosis has always been a bit odd, and that makes it difficult for the family to know when he needs treat ment.

Y. - Instead of sym-1 still find reasons to feel sor pathy. all I Ret from her is ry for herself and do notlv advice. ing to make her life more Mrs. A. J. - Instead of be-1 stirring herself, all she does is complain. Mrs. H.Y. - Here I am liv ing alone, no husband, no children. My late husband's sister lives uptown, about a half-hour's bus ride away. Yet she only invites me to call about once a month, and 1 can only get her down to my place with a special event, like having my mother over, or being real sick myself. She has such a full life. Her children are in college and high school, so she's al ways at meetings or lectures. You'd think she'd give up a few hours and act like a sister to me, even if she's only a sister-in-law. Instead she tells me to copy her and keep busy. Well I can't. For one thing I live in a terrible neighborhood and can't ven ture out after dark. Also, I'm too alone and there's not much you can do alone. Mn. A.J. - I'm acting like a real friend, not. just a sis ter, when I tell Hattie to quit bellyaching and start a few projects of her own. When she hands out all her reasons for doing nothing. I blow my top and talk to her like a Dutch uncle. She can't take that kind of talk be cause it's honest. She's look ing for pity which she's not entitled to. Why doesn't she sign up for an interesting course? Her answer is the bad neigh borhood. Baloney. There are lectures at the library from 6 to R while the streets arc still lively and light. Why is she so alone? Because she's selfish. She has an old moth er living a block away and never thinks of giving her an outing unless I arrange il. He excuse is that her moth er was mean to her 40 years ago. According to my poor brother, there were two sides to that story. The Council - Remember Kve? When she was cornered, she didn't own right up and confess to being weak. She looked around for someone to blame. Since there was only Adnm around, natural ly she said. "He made me do it." And ever since, trou bled people who can't stand the pain of admitting their own shortcomings flail about for excuses and scapegoats. llatlie is ducking blame here the way a pedestrian, crossing against the lights, ducks care. If she lived in an ideal neighborhood, she'd Time Earn- Stop Me 0 meaningful. She d still envy Mrs. J., her sister-in-law, and expect her to "share the wealth" of a full life. But like a square meal, you can't have it in someone else's name! A full life grows from within. It begins with an attitude, and outgoingness, an eagerness to "go at" life. perhaps Hattie would be in vited around if she were less of a dud. And she'd be less of a dud if she reached out for more knowledge, more stimulation, more human commingling, instead of just sitting back and berating her sister-in-law for not making A Project out of her. To cheer Hattie along, wc point out that one positive step on her part draws "com pound interest." It's like ironing a soiled blouse and finding that it looks as though it's been washed, too. If Hat tie . were to sign tip for a course in say,. Art Apprecia tion, the bonuses would pile up. In addition to new in terests and insights, Ihere'd be new acquaintances, and new points in common wilh Mrs. J. and olhcr members of thp family. And certainly Mrs. J. Is right about Hattie's childish renunciation of her aged mother. Regardless of the early facts, Hattie could now open up some dormant valves in her heart and become a more attractive, more human j woman.

I By Jimmy Hallo 28 Counties in Oregon Record Job Increases Salem - il'PP Twenty-eight of Oregon's 36 counties re-; corded employment gains in the first quarter of this year, I the research and statistics' division of the Oregon depart-1 ment of employment revealed today. The strong upswing in the January - March employment gives indication of an upward trend in covered employment j for Oregon during the remain-1 dcr of 1962," the department j said. i Baker, Benton and Sher-1 man counties experienced the largest drop in employment, j Lumber Contributes Reduced dam construction j activity or relocation work connected with dam construc tion accounted for the major ity of the loss in Baker and Sherman counties with lum ber also contributing to the drop in Baker county. The drop in Benton county resulted from the discontinu ance of student coverage at Oregon State university, the department said. Six counties - Multnomah, Clackamas, Douglas, Lane, Marion and Washington-aver aged 1,000 additional workers during the first quarter, with Washington county receiving most of its gain from the elec tronics industry. Expansion of lumbering ac tivities throughout the state accounted for increases in many counties. Up Over 1961 State - wide, employment during the first quarter was up nearly ij.uiiu over ine first quarter of lflbl, and 3.000 over the previous first quarter high recorded in I960. Practically a 1 1 industries showed gains during the first ( quarter over the previous year with the exception of ! state and local government which declined almost 4,000 , due to the discontinuation of i including employed students at higher educational institu-1 tions in the covered totals. The report revealed the first three quarters of 1961 showed declines in total aver age employment from com parable quarters of 1960. The fourth quarter of 1961 re flected the beginning of a re versal of this decline with an increase of 2,000 employed.

Many of these banks will show at least some attempt at brightening up for the holiday season, and almost all will present a different appearance not only at this time of year but the year around from their look a generation or less ago. Sound Reason As might be expected of bankers, there is a sound rea son behind the bright modern face which most banks present to the public today. A company known as the Bank Building and Equipment corporation recently released results of a survey question naire sent to 50 banks which have remodeled their quarters since 1956. Its report said the banks whose officers respond ed were a typical cross-section in size, location, varying local conditions; they included some in new buildings, others in redesigned r modernized and expanded quarters. All but three of the 50 re porting banks showed increas es in total deposits; of the three, one had shown increas es up to the last six months covered in the survey, and the other two blamed decreas ATTENTION!

Bank deposits throughout the country showed increases in years 1956 to 1960; but the BBEC said average gains by the 50 surveyed banks were well above the national aver age for all insured commer cial banks. Reiult Favorable Whatever may be the effect of modernization on custom ers and most like what they have seen happening in the appearance of banks the result on getting and main taining help has been marked and favorable.
