MISS BARBARA JEAN HAWKS Biggers Is Speaker Mental Health Subject At Lions Club Meeting John E. Biggers, a mem ber of the staff of John Um stead Hospital at Butner, spoke on Mental Health at the regular meeting of the War renton Lions Club held at Colonial Lodge last Friday night. He was introduced by Lion Ed Rooker. Mental health is an ef fort to relieve those who through various causes have become irrational and un steady and are in need of help through psychiatric and re habilitation treatment, Big gers said. When people real ize that there should be no more stigma attached to mental illness than to phy sical illnegs, and seek treat ment in the early stages, then the public will have made great progress in overcoming the seriousness of this disease, he added. Biggers pointed out that mental health is nothing new, and today one out of every ten persons is in need of psychiatric treatment. He said that more than 13,000persons have been admitted totheUm stead Hospital and that more than 14,000 persons had been treated and released. He said that 40 patients are now at the hospital from Warren County. New methods of treatment mean a faster and surer re covery, Bigger s said, but If further progress is to be made In fighting this unfortun ate condition, the program must receive public support. This means, he said, that more money must be provided to increase an inadequate staff. "A lack of knowledge of mental health is a big handi cap," Biggers concluded, "but we have come a long way and although we have a long way to go, the outlook is brighter." Lion President Pete Bur rows presided over the meet ing. The grace was said by Lion Duke Jones and music was in charge of Lion Monroe Gardner, with Lioness Nellie Gardner at the piano. Lion Fred Hurst was Hon X and Lioness Nellie Gardner was awarded the dollar.
