As of this week, 118 Jackson county residents are patients at the Oregon .State Hospital. On the average, about 20 Jackson county peo ple enter the hospital each month, and approx imately the same number are released. Of the admissions, 65 per cent are voluntary; 35 per cent are committed to the hospital after a court hearing. THESE raw statistics speak of many things. For one thing, they disclose many of the new techniques of therapy and treatment at the hos pital, including new drugs, which have drastically cut the length of hospital confinement. When a mental patient formerly went to the hospital, it was with little hope of coming out short of months or years and oftentimes, never. The average hospital stay is now about two to four weeks. Along with this shortened hospital stay, in creasing reliance has been placed on the treat ment of mental patients, or those with emotional problems, witnin tneir own community, eiuier by their private physicians, through the Family and Child Guidance Clinic, or by way of minimal supervision by the public heajth nurses. ALL this, of course, is exceedingly good news. It is good news to present and prospective patients (and who among us can be sure we won't be someday?), to friends and relatives, and, ulti mately, to the taxpayers. But. as with all eooci in time, in effort, and in money involved. Local facilities, heretofore not equipped for the type of work they are called upon to perform, are stretched to the limit. Trained personnel are scarce. And in the meantime, Dr. Merkel reports, there are waiting periods as long as a year. This is not sound economy. With added funds, the health department and the Family and Child Guidance Clinic could do much to help these pa tients with their problems, and increase the per centage of productive citizens in the community. e THE state hospital, too, has problems. Dr. Dean Brooks, the able superintendent, has strongly denied rumors that patients are being sent home sooner than they would otherwise be, due to lack of funds and stall. The contrary is true, he explained. The hos pital is short about 80 people, due to cutbacks in spending by the Governor and Board of Control, ! to keep within the current budget. I But rather than speeding up releases, this ac- tuallv tends to slow them plained. The shortage ot personnel cuts clown on the intensive treatment it takes to bring a patient to the point where ALSO many of the patients who have been re leased are those who are in good control of themselves, and who have worked in the hospital, supplementing the work clone by the paid staff. Thus, as they leave, put on the staff, which whole treatment procedure. It is sort of a vicious circle, caused by lack ol Some of the scare stories about the hospital which have come out of the legislative session are undoubtedly motivated by politics. Bui there is evidence to show that the state hospital is suf fering from a shortage of funds, and as a result is not doing the job we have a right to expect. THE state hospital, over has made an enviable today it is looked upon as hospitals in the nation snake pit it was some decades ago. J. Wesley Sullivan, . ... eon statesman in saiem, is laminar wiin me1 problems ot the hospital, ami with its progress. In a recent issue of that paper, he reported that the new decentralized system of administra tion, into geographical units, makes possible quicker, more personal attention. There is better liaison between staff, patients and the public, he says. Gl'OUp therapy techniques have also account ed' for "a large shine of the increased stature of s".in9 " he city the hospital."

For Our Children To the Editor: It was in the spring of 1059 that the survey team appointed to study tne entire Pacific coastal strip re ported to the National Park Service that of all the areas along the Pacific Coast it found the Oregon dunes sea shore and Point Reyes in California the most unique, beautiful and worthy of pres ervation. Point Reyes has ue been set aside as a National Seashore and so is protected and preserved for future gen erations to enjoy. Now it is heartening to learn that our beautiful dunes area may soon receive the same protection through passage of Senator Neuberger's bill to create an Oregon Dunes National Seashore, a bill which Secre tary Udall has endorsed. The past four years have j been filled with misunder standings and the misgivings g &KSg great economic benefits which establishment of the park will bring. Those who are reason ably content with the present fear any innovation which might possibly change their accustomed ways. In other areas, however, such as Cape Cod and Hattcras, the reality of the national seashore de velopment, with all the im provements and economic gains it has brought, has won the doubters from their former opposition to a happy acceptance and there arc signs that this change is already be ginning in Oregon. The advantage of the Neu berger bill over that of Con gressman Duncan s is that it will preserve a natural and beautiful environment on both sides of Highway 101, which will be the main road through the part. Were this not done there would surely be unsightly and unwanted commercial developments on privately held land on the east side of the highway. Also, this bill gives greater control j over lake access and use j ...,- .,, ,,v. ....... the private homes now built mere.

Our 5-year-old son is pres ently attending the Central Point kindergarten along with 14 other children. We feel this will help prepare him for the routine of school and estab lish a basis for his formal ed ucation.

Harris fc Field Enterprises. Inc. CHILDHOOD'S CLEAR EYE Some weeks ago, I wrote a little piece of fluff about the brainy father being beaten at Concentration by his five-1 year - old; daughter. The letters began to pour in, and riving, about all the fiend- Ish little chil- dren who de- light in hu- mutating Uieir ciders at: Ham cards, games, puzzles, and other contests of perception and memory. The most interesting letter, however, came from a man in Florida who is relired mag. ician of considerable profes sional standing. He wrote, in part: "When I was performing sleight-of-hand, and similar feats, it was always easy to fool the adults - in fact, the more intelligent and educated the adult, the easier he was to fool. College professors were my favorites. "Bui any child under 12 is poison lo a sleight-of-hand man. The child is not dis tracted by palter, the way an adult is. He keeps his eyes focused on the right card and the right hand, and the slighesl hesitation or fumbling is immediately evident to him. Growing up seems lo be largely a proc ess of diluting our attention, and diffusing our percep tions." As we grow up, our field of vision expands, our minds fan out (as it were), and many peripheral ob jects claim our attention. The QUANTITY of our comprehension increases, but the QUALITY goes down. We "see" what our sophistication has trained us to see, not what is really there. This is why ihe intelli gent and educated spectator is so easily taken in by sleight - of - hand. He has taught himself to look for subtleties, for shadings oi difference, for a certain patterning of expressions and gestures and reactions. The child, unsophisticated in this regard, looks only lor the obvious - and the obvious, of course, is most hidden from sophistication. Poe's classic little tale.

The TWO WITNESSES j There has come to be gen- eral agreement in Washington thai liip nnlv hie and nrw measure which lias a chance to be passed co n ce r n e d about - nota - bly the inade quacy of our 1 educational system. But there ! we are immobilized by the deadlock over the church schools and over states' rights. The tax bill touches- all our interests, even education, since an expanding economy would produce more revenue for the states and localities as well as the federal govern ment. It touches almost every other public matter, be it the race for the moon or unem ployment and juvenile delin quency. A measure which will stimulate economic growth is the hub of the wheel from which all the spokes radiate. ALTHOUGH the House has completed i I s hearings, there are few 'outward signs of what lax measures Con gress is in fact going to enact. There has been one decisively important development since the administration sent its proposals to Congress. Though it is not admitted officially, tax reform, except in more or less token face-saving details, has been abandoned. The bill which will Co to the House this summer will be a bill to reduce taxes. This will put before the Congress and the country the basic question; shall we re duce taxes, though this means a bigger budget deficit, in or der to stimulate economic growth by evoking a greater demand for consumer goods and a greater investment in capital goods? TWO auile separate witness- - cs have recently testified I on this question. The one is Mr. Maudling. the Chancellor of Ihe Exchequer in the Con scrvative government of! course, want it too widely re Great Britain.

All of them propose in prin ciple the same remedy. All of them derive this remedy from the same school of cconomio thinking, that of the Swedish economists and John Maynard Keynes. All of them propose to over come sluggishness by expand ing demand, and all of them propose to do this by reducing taxes and accepting budgetary deficits. (Mr. Maudling not only reduces taxes, but in creases government expendi tures.) All three believe that the way eventually to balance the budget will be to produce more tax revenues from an expanding economy. PRECISE comparisons can not be made between the Maudling budget and Hie Ken nedy budget. For one tiling, the British have no budget like our highly misleading ad ministrative budget, which wo call THE budget. Furthermore, the British economy and the Britisli population are much smaller than ours. The British national product is about 14 per cent of the American, and the British population is only 30 per cent of ours. But. inso far as the two budgets are comparable, the calculations which I have seen show lhat in relation to the size of the two economies, the British cash deficit is somewhat larger than ours. Governor Rockefeller's con tribution to the discussion is in a statement issued on April 6.. It is, I think, no misrepre sentation to say that the state ment endorses the theory and the main substance of the ad ministration program.
