State Medical Society Urge* Better Conditions For Mental Hospitals 1 GOLDSBORO, Feb. 10? Dr. Don ?!eH B. Cobb, President of the ?Medfeal Society of tfhe State of North Carolina, l?as issued the following statement with regard *o the proposed setting up of a central supervising board for hos pitals for the mentally sick: "Some months ago the committee appointed by Governor Broughton to investigate the Morgan ton State Hospital made its report, ft was found that North Carolina, who prides itself on many things, was forty-fifth among the forty-eight states in .the amount it spends for the oarc and treatment of the helpless insane. Certainly this is something of which we cannot be proud. "Acting upon .the recommenda tions of the Governor's investigat ing oommittee, a bill has been introduced in the legislature to set up a North Carolina hospitnl board of control to supervise rtie Morgantmn, Raleigh and Gildsboro Hospitals and the Cafcwell Train, ing School in Kinston. "Physicians of North Carolina endorsed the recommendations of this investigating committee and they a re in accord wifh the idera of setting up a central state sup ervising board. Success of such a central governing board depends entirely upon how it is *et up and who oon?titute? its memberi. MEETS FRENCH CHIEF ? Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, North African high commissioner, with President Roosevelt at Casablanca conference. mrs. an Sel ogden PASSES IN LOS ANGELES Elias 2J. White of La Verne? Calif., a former resident of High lands, has sent the following notice which will be of interest to many in Highlands 'amd Macon county. Mrs. Ansel R. ("Lulu") Ogden passed away in Los Angeles on the 4th day of February, 1943. Mrs. Ogden was th.e eldest of S children of Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Kelsey, so inseparably connected with the early history of High lands. Of the 3 children who made their homes in the fair W.est only one, a daughter, now survives. S. T. Kelsey, Jr., died in Los Angeles 3 years ago at the age of 70. Two sons, Harlan P. Kels,ey and Dr. Harry E. Kelsey. S. T. Kelsey amd C. C; Hutch inson are remembered and honor ed founders of the town of High lands. Mr. Kelsey alome, however, stayed with us utvtil rhe scene of his sacrificial labors was an assur ed success. The sturdy pioneers of our coun try who pushed their way north and south and west built a great nation. No wilderness was too dif ficult, mo , prairie too boundless, no forest too dense and interminable for them to penetrate and subdue. We, likewise, cherish the memory of Mr. Kelsey and Mr. Hutchin son who liv.ed and dwelt among us. They were tmde of the same stuff. "The creation of this t*nrd will, in all probability, determine the administration of mental institu tions and the care of mental p.i tients in Norfh Carolina for t'he next quarter of a century. During recant yeears a marked change has occurred in the general atti tude toward mental sickness. In quite a few states laws have Keen drifted and hoards hiave been set tin in accord with the viewpoint of modern psychiatry, tt?H mental illness is a medical problem and is as susceptible to prevention, treatment and cure as human sick ness in general. "The recommendations of the Morgan ton Investigating Committee and the creation of an efficient central , board cannot accomplish all that is needed for the incar cerated and helpless mentally sick. There must also be a reawakening of official and individual state wide interest in these most unfort. imate individuals. Every effort should be made to prevent men Ml sickness and, top, to return as many of the mentally sick as. possible to a useful place in So ciety. "In the betterment of existing conditions the Medical Profession is intensely interested and it de sires to work with .the Governor in this effort to make Phe caire of mental patients something of which the State of North Carolina can be very pfoud." An 82-year-old Galesville, Wis., mechanic, with a single machine in hi* home, tums out parts for naval ordinance as a war produc tion subcontractor. "Today I met a girl who hud never been kissed." "I would like to meet her." "You're too late now." He (at the , phone) : "I want to, insert a notice- of the birth of my twins." Girl (at newspaper office) : "Will you repeat that, sir?" He: "Not if I can htlp it."
