k—section one PAGE TWO Dr. Ed Bond Speaks At Edenton Woman’s Club Meeting, Using Mental Health As His Subject An interesting address on men- 1 ' tai health by Dr. Ed Bond high-11 lighted the March meeting of the < Woman’s Club held in the Parish . House Wednesday of last week. During the course of his ad- ; dress, Dr. Bond touched on the , incidence of mental illness and what a problem it is. He defined mental health in terms of be havior and gave a brief outline of how one’s personality grows and affects this behavior. He also commented on anxiety and its functions. Dr. Bond told his Woman’s Club audience some 9,000,000 Americans have some form of mental disorder, adding that one | of every two hospital beds is oc cupied by a psychiatric patient. He cited the need for more and better facilities for. psychiatric care and more funds for research. Dr. Bond defined mental health in terms of behavior, saying ab normal or neurotic behavior is largely determined by unconsci ousness factors, and psychotis be havior refers to a complete sepa ration of behavior from the wide range of normal. “If our behav ior is largely determined by con scious factors, we are in good mental health,” Dr. Bond said, “and if our behavior is largely controlled by factors outside of our awareness, we may be in poor mental health.” Dr. Bond said personality de termines the way we behave and defined it as “the sum total of our body, temperament, charac ter, desires, beliefs—all of these qualities which gives each of us an individual uniqueness.” “These parts of the personality have to work together effective ly to maintain adequate, self-es teem,” the speaker continued, saying “the personality must have an optimum number of sound ideas well related to the environment, a sufficient quantity of good will in relation to others, and must avoid acquiring too much hate. Failure to achieve these may be as bad as some phy sical defects. He cited the de velopment of one’s personality from infancy and declared “that maturity of personality is attain ed only through successive stag es of maturation in which arrest and deviations may occur.” Proven facts concerning the causes of mental disorders are re grettably limited, Dr. Bond con tinued, adding the best help so far comes from experience in this field and the formulation of theo ries as to how disorders of per sonality have developed. “Ex cept in those mental disorders in which there is a psychological im pairment of the brain through toxic or structural changes, hu man behavior is explainable in terms of various psychological ex- , periences or needs,” Dr. Bond de clared. The speaker noted there is no justification for the pessimistic ; suggestion that the pace of mod ern life conduces to mental j breakdown and pointed up the , importance of religious ideas and , spiritual forces in maintaining proper personality balance. “The founders of the science of psychi- , atry have often stated that in the final analysis, many patients who : failed to make a proper adjust ment to life had first failed to ; establish proper religious ideas : and practices,” Dr. Bond said. ; “Prevention of mental illness is the important thing and it is ; largely through proper attention j to normal home, school and | church life that our youth will . develop into mature citizens and , keep on the right road. i Commenting on anxiety, the • speaker declared this is a result of any threat of change in the concept of the self, and said an xiety will always be a part of life. “It alerts us when the self i is threatened. It results from living and also because of its presence makes living worth- ] while,” he said. Dr. Bond said there is no such thing as an abnormal or neurotic type of anxiety, declaring the ap parent difference in the effects of the reaction lies in the way the individual handles his share of anxiousness and what he does to overcome it. During the business session, seven new members were elected to the club. They include Mes dames Heywood Ziegler, Jr., Da vid Warren, James Griffin, Rich ard Schuman, Eugenia Babylon, John Pavlich and James John- Mrs. Gerald D. James was elected secretary of the club re placing Mrs. *alph Blades who resigned. Elected as delegates to Mrs. J. M. Tiiorud and Mrs. Rob ert Boyce with Mrs. Wesley Chesson, Jr., and Mrs. Gerald D. James as alternates. Committee reports were heard and projects for the near future outlined. Guests included Mrs. Fred Brown and Mrs. William Voge des. Hostesses were Mesdames W. T. Harry, R. B. Smith, Roy Spruill, John Bunch, Murray By rum and Thomas Byrum. Petition Withdrawn For Improvements j Continued From Page 1. Section 1 1 Dr. A. M. Stanton and Robert Powell appeared at th£ meeting in behalf of the Barker Street and Williamson Road property own ers. who objected to the cost in-, volved for curbing and guttering and inferred that they preferred a hard-surfaced street instead of curbs and gutters. The Councilmen complied with the petition for withdrawal, so that unless some later action is taken no street improvements will be made. No complaint was received from Albania Street property passed to advertise for bids to owners, so that a motion was passed to advertise for bids to construct curb and gutter and storm sewer on Albania Street, as well as adding curb and gutter at the sqme time on West Hicks Street. These bids will be re viewed ,at the next meeting of Town Council. The withdrawal of the petition has cost the town $473.48 which represents the engineering ex-' expense for that portion of the work. At the request of Fire Chief W. J. Yates the Councilmen agreed to make an appropriation for the expense in connection with the annual meeting of the Eastern North Carolina Firemen’s Asso ciation which will meet in Eden ton Tuesday night, April 8. The Association comprises about 30 towns. The Councilmen also agreed to appropriate SIOO toward the expense of staging the annual Chowan Cliunty Fat Stock Show and Sale at the American Legion building. Wednesday, March 26. Charlie H. Jernigan was grant ed a permit to operate a taxicab. During the meeting Jesse Har rell was re-appointed as a mem ber of the board of directors of the Chowan Hospital. He was appointed for a three-year term. A committee presented a report relative to a proposed building for the Street Department on West Hicks Street. Arrange ments have been made for the department and E & W Depart ment to use a driveway jointly and the romm+ttee, J. - Clarjence, Leary and J. Edwin Bufflap, was authorized to work with the Board of Public Works in an ef fort to purchase a lot in‘the rear of the town property which will give access to the railroad for un loading supplies for the Street, Department, as well as providing more room for both departments. Councilman Raleigh Hollowell reported that papers are now be ing prepared giving the town a 20-foot right of way for extend ing East Eden Street from Court Street to the rear of the business firms on the east side of Broad Street. The idea in mind is to provide a street which will start at Court Street, going west, then south between the town and county property with the exit be tween the Court House and hotel to King Street. VFW MEETING William H. Coffield Post No. 9280, Veterans of Foreign Wars, will meet Tuesday night, March 18, at 8 o’clock. Commander Earl White is very, anxious to have a large attendance.

Young Kehayes was also one of eight of the students to be interviewed after their selection on their home town schools. Tommy’s comment in the inter view loilows: “Whether a subject in our high school was hard or easy depend ed on what the student was look ing for. If he was willing to work, there was always some thing to be gained from a course. I was not bored or idle. I had too much work, both academic and extra-curricular. “Our biggest problem was the lack of discipline on the part of the students. I mean a lack of the responsibility the students should show themselves.” Tulius Roberts Filled In Automobile Wreck Continued From Page 1.
