Constitutional Rights ' recently heard expert testimony . en; the constitutional rights of the nientally 111. The hearings demonstrated that , our hopes ; were ' Well fourtded that tew ' 1 light would ' be cast upon a - problem" that has become one of the most neglected areas of the -. law. My observation as v ' Chairman ol this Subcommittee is that after further study has t been made Of the testimony of ?v- eminent ' psychiatrists, attorneys, and ' mental hospital superin tendents, it is altogether pos sible that an enlighted revision i. of, the statutes governing the fi mentally ill may be made. Sen- ator Alexander Wiley, a mem ber of the subcommittee, aptly stated at the opening of the hearings: "The investigation per ' tains directly to the "rights." of a tremendous segment of the population This indeed is the first time that the Congress of the "United States has under taken to look into the legal as pects of mental , illness." The hearings brought forth statis tics showing that "over 250,000 people are committed to mental institutions each year," and that "over one-half of the hospital beds of the entire country are devoted to the care of the men tally ilL" Legislation Summary Presi dent Kennedy and the Congress j have accomplished much during , the first eleven weeks of the new Administration. The early part of Congress was ' concern ed with the election of leader ship, the filling of committee vacancies, and the disposition of rules procedure. Following this the Senate has passed the De pressed Areas bill, the Tem porary Unemployment Benefits act, the Sugar Act Extension, the Feed Grains Program, the OECD i Treaty . ratification, the Reorganization Act, and the Federal Judgeships bilL All of these bills have gone to the President except : the Federal Judgeships measure which at the date of this writing has been - reported by the House Committee for consideration by the House, and the Depressed Areas, bill which is in a Senate House conference to iron out differences in . the Senate and House versions of the bill. The Congress has thus far enacted four v of the . 16 measures for which the President has asked priority action. Five other toills have been passed in one or the other halls of Congress.

DONATIONS NEEDED . Perquimans County Democrats desiring to contribute to the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner, sponsored by the State Demo cratic Committee, are asked to contact W. F. Ainsley, County Chairman, who reports Per quimans County is still short of. its quota for this event. ' Far away at school j but close to horns by Long Distance f low cost, convenient long distance telephone service makes it so very eaty for parents and their children away at " school to keep in touch these -days. So next time you'd like to be with your children, do the next best thing and . call them long distance. ' instruction, using films, tures, ' demonstrations, exhibits and discussions will give . the essential facts about sanitation, which should be observed at all times and in all public eating places. Invitations will be ex. tended to foodhandlers employ ed ' in restaurants, soda foun tains, school cafeterias, hospi tals, nursing homes, private clubs, colleges, persons interest ed in summer employment at beaches, private maids, etp. Some years ago most people ate three meals a day at their own tables. Some who were wage earners or school children carried a lunch prepared at home. For most folks, however, D. G.

Sec ond, safer foodhandling assures stronger barriers to safeguard the community health. Third, a Foodhandlers School Planned April 25-27 Plans for a foodhandlers schools to be held April 25 26 and 27 in the Pasquotank Coun ty Agricultural Building, are announced by K. J. Eyer and Chowan Counlty restaurant op erators, the State and local Health Departments. This school, restaurant ' opera tors and health officials believe, is the answer to the untrained personnel problem and will act as a refresher course for the foodhandler having years of ser viceThis' will hetp -tarth the employee and the employer to provide better services which the public demand and are en the baby go out to dinner. The day of public lack of in terest in sanitation is practically a thing of the past, health of ficials point out Restaurant op erators realize that patrons who are impressed by restau rant cleanliness will return time after time to surroundings which please their- optics as well as their palates. What "ddes better foodhandling mean in terms of community ' benefits? better foodhandling service cre ates a bigger arid better com munity business, t Interest in what goes into the mouth of the general public has increased and the man in the street is being educated to be lieve that he doesn't have ; to eat ''living dirt". "Perhaps 90 of all infections are taken into the body through the mouth. They reach the mouth in water, food, fingers, dust and upon the innumerable objects that - arel sometimes placed in the mouth," health officials pointed out. "The dirt you can see makes you . angry, but the dirt you can't see makes you sick," they say.
