Mental Health Volunteers Honored At Reception
The N. C. Department of
Human Resources and the N. C.
Department of Mental Health
honored the Mental Health
Volunteers from throughout the
state recently in Raleigh. Mrs.
Holshouser honored
volunteers at a reception in the
Governor’s Mansion during the
Satisfaction,
modest price
top benefits
The girl who’s learned to
sew in high school, and
takes pride in being one-up
on fashion trends, is likely
to be the bride who opts to
sew her own wedding gown.
It’s one sure way of ex
pressing her own highly
developed taste. And it’s in
line with the simpler, more
natural trend of today.
Where is it written that
a bride must be done up
in satins and lace? Great
if she’s the type and
lots of girls are. But even
greater is the freedom of
choice, in design and fabric,
available to the bride who
elects to sew her own gown
for that great day.
This year’s bride may
choose from all the light,
airy fabrics, like dotted
voile, pique, and organdy
and leno, that are easy to
sew and lovely to look at.
Their prices, as the practi
cal-minded miss is sure to
note, are a fraction of the
cost of luxury fabrics.
The bride’s attendants,
too, can find equally attrac
tive fabrics and patterns.
Sears recommends an airy
printed leno (polyester and
rayon) in a soft pastel
strewn with blossoms,
which sells at just $1.29 a
yard.
Since the average pattern
calls for under five yards,
it’s easy to figure the total
cost of the dress well within
the most modest budget.
And just think of the
compliments the bride will
garner for the originality
and freshness of her wed
ding party theme.
Few people can stand to hear
what they ought to hear.
afternoon which was followed
by a banquet at the Sheraton
Crabtree Motor Inn.
Responding to the first lady’s
invitation from the Albemarle
Area were Mrs. Rosemary
Dunford from Dare County,
Mrs. Elsie Hollowell from
Camden County, Mrs. Elsilene
Miller from Pasquotank County
and Mrs. Angia Wright from
Chowan County.
An impressive ceremony was
conducted at the Awards
Banquet where Secretary David
T. Flaherty of the N. C.
Department of Human
Resources was master of
ceremonies. Representing the
Albemarle area at the banquet
were Mrs. Dunford and Mrs.
Hollowell.
Flaherty announced that the
present legislation has doubled
the mental health budget. He
continued by saying one-third of
the present Raleigh staff will be
relocated in order to expand
their talents across the state. It
was emphasized that we have
12,000 persons in state
institutions. With the additional
money, the urgency now is the
need for humanization, an area
where volunteers play a
pertinent role.
Receiving the Outstanding
Volunteer Award from the
Eastern Region was Mrs.
Virginia T. Bailey who has
worked at Cherry Hospital,
Caswell Center, the Nash-
Edgecombe Mental Health
Center in Rocky Mount and
Nash-Rocky Mount Mental
Health Association.
Several pilot programs have
been begun successfully' in the
state with hopes that these may
spread throughout. Alcohol
remains to be the major
problem in mental health in
North Carolina. Alcholism
accounts for 45 to 46 per cent of
the patients in our state
institutions. Alcoholism and
Drug Abuse Prevention has
developed in the Tidelands
Mental Health Center. It is an
educational approach to be used
in the school systems. Step one:
personality development, in
kindergarten through grade 4
deals with the child learning his
own emotions and how to cope
with the environment. Grades
five to eight comprise the
second part where a general
summary of alcohol and drug
facts are used with comic books
as resource material. In high
school, an in-depth knowledge
of drugs is probed with “rap”
sessions under the direction of a
mental health staff member as
moderator.
Project Early Aid provides
mental health and educational
consultation to twenty day care
programs in a three county
mental helath area. The

young children. Project
Enlightenment offers services
to pre-school and first grade
children. Its basic objective is
to identify children with
behavior, emotional or
adjustment problems and
demonstrate re-education
programs. Another project,
PACT. Parents and Chilren
Together is a homebound
program developed to serve
children who are mentally
retarded and their parents in
the community and the home.
Forty-one mental health
programs now exist to provide
services throughout the state.
The Mental Health Association
originated the Operation Santa
Claus movement to provide
patients with gifts at Christmas.
These programs are reaching
many and are performing a
much needed service for those
whom they are able to reach
but they need the help of
concerned volunteers it was
noted. “A little time and a lot of
concern can work wonders lor
