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.

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."

"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."
