Mark Hatfield with hand-made hooked rug. During the Gover
nor's tour of the 350-bed psychiatric facility, hospital officials an
nounced that Morningside would begin accepting private patients
from Oregon and neighboring states. For the past 50 years, Morn
ingside has been primarily occupied by patients from Alaska.
Hospital Notes
Policy Change
Morningside hospital, Portland,
the largest private psychiatric
hospital on the west coast, is being
made available to private patients
in Oregon and neighboring states
for the first time in 50 years, Ad
ministrator Henry W. Coe an
nounced this week in conjunction
with a tour of the 350-bed hospi
tal by Gov. Mark O. Hatfield.
Morningside was founded in
1893 by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, a
well-known Oregon pioneer citi
zen. Since 1904, the hospital has
been primarily occupied by pa
tients from Alaska. Last month,
the Alaska Psychiatric Institute
opened in Anchorage, giving the
new state its first public psychi
atric facility, and allowing Morn
ingside to again accept private
patients from the Northwest.
Morningside is considered a pio
neer among psychiatric hospitals
in the “open door” philosophy of
treatment, Administrator C o e
pointed out, which was introduced
in 1955, prior to the general use-
age of tranquilizing drugs in psy
chiatric care. The “open” hospital
is characterized by the absence of
locks and barred windows, Coe
said.

County Cancer
Recheck Ended
Columbia was among the first
10 counties in Oregon to complete
the 1962 recheck of participants
in the American Cancer Society's
six-year cancer prevention study,
says Byron Steward of St. Hel
ens, county chairman of the sur
vey. News of the county’s achieve
ment came from Dr. A. C. Hutch
inson of Portland, who heads the
cancer study committee for the
society’s Oregon division.
This county, which had 385 men
and women enrolled in the six-
year study, has had four deaths
in the group since the 1961 re
check. Whether or not they were
cancer-caused will not be known
until photostatic copies of death
certificates are studied by the
American Cancer Society’s medi
cal affairs department which is
directing the study.
In this year’s recheck, volunteer
workers who are keeping track of
the participants were asked only
to report if they were still living
and, if so, any change of address
or marital status. In the 1963 re
check, more extensive information
will be sought. The study will con
tinue into 1965.
At the beginning of this fall’s
recheck, Oregon had 28,650 per
sons enrolled. They live in 27
counties of the state.
Unit Plans For
Holiday Event
Tuesday, November 13, ten

ber route Extension Unit meeting
held at the Vernonia Grange hall.

Due to the fact that the vice-
president, Vera Miller, has moved
from this district and has resigned

Smith to fill the position for the
balance of the year and she was
installed at this meeting.
The December 11 project is unit
planned and will be on making
yard stick covers and litter bags
for sewing machines. There will
also be a Christmas gift exchange
between members with a limit of
one dollar. Mothers may bring
gifts for their own children if they
wish. This meeting will be held at

esses. Everyone is invited to at
