Mind Your Mind James Watson, M. D. Division of Mental Hygiene State Welfare Department This series of paragraphs will be discontinued at the end of this month until after the summer. The next twio or three weeks will deal with some basic principles for maintaining mental health in| one’s own self. But this week I i want to emphasize the need of county mental hygene clinics. Recently a doctor, a minister, and a school superintendent all asked—“ Where can we get some, mental hygien help for people j with mental difficulties in our | community?” I had to answer, unfortunately the nearest mental hygiene clinic was 60 miles away frcm their county. But the time will surely come when an en lightened public opinion, know-] ing that prevention of mental! disease is so much cheaper so much easier than its cure, will demand that such clinics be es tablished throughout the State. Our splendid State public health department has established clin ics for the treatment and pre vention of infectious diseases in many centers. Public health doctors are unanimous in the Opinion that similar clinics for the prevention and treatment of mental disease should be es tablished. In order that mental hygiene help may become available for all those who need it all classes of community leaders should work together to spread mental hy giene information. Doctors, mini sters, teachers, welfare workers and especially the many families who have had relatives and friends committed to State hos pitals because of nervous break downs, should cooperate. ——o— Her Autograph Is Hard To Get Because of its scarcity, Vivien Leigh’s autograph is rated right up with Greta Garbo’s the most prized of all, on the autograph marts. But Miss Leigh is soon going to flood the market, if she continues to turn out signatures the way she did during the film ing of "Waterloo Bridge,” her new starring picture with Robert Taylor, now at the Palace thea tre. Miss Leigh literally signed hundreds of autographs between scenes, mostly for extras. That Miss Leigh is one of the most glamorous personalities Holly wood has ever had was evidenc ed by the attention the extras paid her. Director Mervyn Leßoy finally had to insist that extras focus their eyes at definite points when scenes were being taken. They all were staring at Miss Leigh. o FRUITS l Early prospects indicate that sup plies of most fruits in 1940 .will be smaller than relatively large supplies of 1939 but about equal to the average of recent years.

Young and claimed his wife, Mrs. Cornelia Young who had been in declining health for sev eral years. On Saturday she was stricken with another stroke, and was seriously ill ’till Monday when the Death Angel called her to her Heavenly Home. She had been a faithful member of Hel. ena Primitive Baptist church for many years, and as long as her health permitted, she always at tended her church. To know her was to love her. She lived a good Christian life and leaves to mourn her death a heart-broken hus band and two daughters, Misses Beatrice and Lucy Young, of Ca- Vel, and two sisters, Mrs. H. W. Wilson and Miss Emma Rycroft, of Timber lake, and many sorrow ing relatives and friends. Funeral services were conduct ed Tuesday at 1:30 by Elder L. J.

FOR RESULTS. Reverses Old Film Tradition Christy Cabanne, veteran mo tion picture director, defies screen tradition in Universal’s new Bob Bums comedy, “Alias the Dea con,” now playing at the Dolly Madison. A highlight of the picture is a prizefight between Dennis O’- Keefe, the young hero, and Guinn “Big Boy” Williams, who v, June is National Dairy Month We salute DAIRY MONTH in saying: “Drink three glasses of milk daily for thirty days and feel the dif ference in energy Stamina and health.” Here’s why: Milk prolongs youth for it supplies protein which builds and renews worn-out muadles and nerve tissues. Milk gives strength and energy. It supplies calcium and phosphorus which keep teeth, bones, muscles and heart healthy and strong. Rich in vitamin A, milk builds re sistance. Join the millions drink milk at meal time and between meals. You’ll feel the difference in energy and good health. ROXBORO DAIRY PRODUCTS CO. A.
