' But hail insurance can prevent financial loss A hail storm can prove a financial disaster to you, unless you protect surance. Cost is modest. See us! BURNSVILLE INSURANCE AGENCY” Burnsville, N.C. Lowe Thomas of Burnsvil e, Yancey County Clerk of Court; and the Rev. Paul Ackerman, pastor of St. Lucien’s Catholic Church, Spruce Pine, Mrs. Dorothy Thomas, regional librarian of the Avery-Mitcrell-Yancey Regional Library, served as moderator. The discussion was very enlightening, because i t showed just what steps should be taken by members of the family of a menta’ly or emotionally disturbed person who is urgently in need of help, it developed that in most cases the best procedure is to secure the adv'ce and assistance of the family physician. Often, the family’s minister can also be verv helpful. The county clerk of court may be con tacted; and. in cases where the mentally or emotionally ill person has become vio lent, involving possible in jury to himself or others, it may be necessary to secure the immediate assistance of a noliceman or sheriff. It was s’roogly stressed that the earlier menial or emotional il’ness is discover ed, or even suspected, and t v '-' -Vo-nily promptly consulted, the great r are the prospec s that t u e diff’cuH.v can be successfully remedied In a reasona> y short time by in stitutional treatment and the patient returned to nor mal family life and his cus tomary gainful occupation. This it was stated, is parti cularly true in the case of ado’esceots. The advantages were also pointed out of voluntary commitment to an institu tion for treatTg mental Plness. When a person re cognizes his need for help in overcomng such illness and voluntarily . enters an institution where he wll re ceive the pro Der treatment for his difficulty, it is much more satisfactory for all concerned than in * those cases where the disturbed person’s difficulties become so acute, or so advanced, that he must of necessity be committed against his will, espec ally in cases where the person’s mental condi tion is such that he cannot understand the explanation that he is being entered for treatment which will bene fit himself, his family and friends.
