Friday Night Accident Kills Two Young People A tragic accident Friday night snuffed out the lives of two 16 year-old Students and hospitalized two others at the crossing of Core Creek on NC 55 between Kinston and New Bern.

The injured are Ronnie Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hill of 1208 Morningside Drive and Diane Rob inson, daughter of Col. and Mrs. Ray Robinson of.Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. All four were 16 years Old. The girls and the Robinsons were guests in the Garner home in Kinston. According to the best information available Garner was driving his family’s car in a westwardly direc tion at about midnight when it en tered a sharp unelevated curve just east of Core Creek at an apparent high rate of speed. Skid marks indicated that the caT went out of control for some dis trance down the south shoulder of the road before reaching the creek, where it still had sufficient momentum to leap the entire width of the creek. A passing carload of Marines were the first to find the wreck and their pTompt action possibly saved the lives of Miss Robinson and Hill. Garner was apparently killed in stantly in the crash. Miss Britt also died cm impact or was drowned seconds later. Her body was not re covered until nearly 32 hours later, when a team of skindiving Marines found it, lodged under roots along the banks of the stream only a few feet from the point where the car landed. Latest information is that both survivors are recuperating satisfac torily from injuries that were class ified as serious but not critical. Young Hill is credited with pulling Miss Robinson from the water de spite badly torn muscles in one arm. ‘Strong Safe’ Monday night the Piggly- Wiggly Store in LaGrange has some non paying tgrpe customers, who wars interested in sesing what was in side the store’s safe.

Senate Passes Mental Health Bill Last Week By Senator Sam Ervin The Senate last week passed the mental health bill almost unani mously, 72-1. A House committee has completed hearings, but has not acted on the bill. There is much to recommend bold action by the Congress in this neglected area. The National Institute of Mental Health annually reports increases in mental hospital admissions; and, according to medical prognosticat ors, the mounting stresses of our modern society portend even great er increases in the future. One of the barriers experienced in combatting mental illness and retardation has been that the na tion’s number one health problem does not command the type of great public appeal that polio, cancer, and heart disease have marshalled. One vital reason is that old attitudes toward mental illness have changed at a snail’s pace over the years. A prime purpose of the mental health bill is to promote with Fed eral assistance the construction of community centers to treat mental disorders in or near the person’s own home area. This is regarded as a worthwhile approach in bringing better under standing and better treatment in early stages of mental illness. Morover, the measure would grant Federal assistance for the construc tion of research centers and facili ties for the mentally retarded. Congress began its study of men tal illness needs in 19SS when it enacted the Mental Health Act. At that .time it directed the Joint com mission on Mental Illness and Health to come up with a report | on the mounting problem in thk field and report to the; Congress or} the needs for a national mental health program. The Commission’s study formed the basis of Senate action last week. Part of the story told by the Commission was outlined in na tional statistics which stated that there are now 800,0lX) patients fill ing our mental institutions. 600, 000 of these suffer from mental dis orders and over 200,000 are being treated for mental retardation. Every year nearly 1% million people are being treated for mental problems of some nature. It is es timated that one-half of the hos pital beds in the United States are occupied by patients afflicted with mental disorders. Congressional action in the field of mental health under the terms of the Senate bill will proceed along the lines of public health measures now using Federal funds to treat tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and polio, and the Hill-Burton Act which assists hospitals. The leg islation will not preempt State ac tion in the field. North Carolina already has done outstanding work in the treatment of mental illness and retardation. Senate debate last week revealed that our State has expended $224, 629,775 in the last ten years in this area of care and treatment. I am hopeful that the passage of this bill wil lnow pave the way for Senate consideration of legislation which’ will cope with the equally important facet of constitutional rights of the mentally ill. The hear ings conducted earlier this session by the Constitutional Rights Sub tee reveal the need for this ion legislation.
