Announce The
Engagement Of
Miss WaundIess
Announcement Made
At Dinner Party
BY GLADYS MILLS

Mrs. Andrew Waundless an
nounced the engagement Of her
daughter, Jeanne, to Cpl. Rigoberto
Manuel Guzman Of the armed
forces on last Saturday evening.
Jeanne's engagement was announc-
ed at a dinner party, elegantly
done, for more than so guests, and
was held at the home of her par
ents, SAIL Bewick avenue.
The half hundred guests took
their designated places about the
tables, which were set for four,
and were served a delicious din
n@ So far, none of the guests
knew what was in the air. When
the dessert dishes had been cleared,
Jeanne's cousin, Mary Strong, took
the floor to read note addressed
to her which read: Dear Mary:
will you kindly rush to that mans
aid. Looks like our friend Rigo,
is he running all in vain, after
little girl by the name OF Jeanne.
Who looks like she is walking on
thin air. to a destination, she doesn't
care where. But Mary, if you will
please give her the bag. Then ]
link we all will understand" On
the pretty table, making up part
Of the centerpiece, was tiny rep
lica Of a soldier, ostensibly Rigo
Jeanne's fance. A very tiny duffle
bag was slung over his shoulder.
Just in front was replica Of Jeanne
in a running pose The real Jeanne
then took up the tiny duffle bag,
which contained, as perhaps you
have already guessed, the beautiful
ring for her third finger. left hand.
BY now, it had begun to dawn upon
all the guests that il was an an
nouncement party, then OF course
Jeanne must pass around the ring
so that all could see and admire 1t,
and then there were the usual ques-
tons to be answered, etc.
Honoree In Draped Black Frock
The guest OF honor was exotic in
black draped frock, offset with
corsage OF red roses. She wore
black doeskin anklet slippers and
carried a pretty kerchief. Jeanne's
two aunts, Miss Ruth Webb and
Mrs. Mary Webb Jeffries, assisted
their sister, the hostess. Other
friends also assisted in the persons
Of Mrs. Gwendolyn Graham. Mrs.
Rachael Strong, Mrs. Frederick
Stevenson, Mrs. Agnes Swan. Mrs.
Ellen Jones and Mrs. Mable Swan.
The guest table was especially
pretty and showed lots OF thought
in the planning. The cloth was made
OF lace, the floral centerpiece COM
posed of charming arrangement
of pink carnations. white daisies
and white sweet peas. This was
fLanked on either side witk pink
candles, and in the very midst stood
the replicas of Jeanne and Rigo
which we have already mentioned
Throughout the house, vases and
bowls Of flowers added to the
scene. Bright red tulips, and yellow
roses comprised the decorations
Each guest received red and silver

of the fact that price control alone is
inadequate unless there is popular
support of the program of rationing
and price control.
Mr. Brooks paid tribute to the work
which has been done in Montana in
labor OPA cooperation and stated
that Montana was well ahead of other
states in this region in co-ordinating
labor participation. In the OPA pro-
gram A. T. Peterson, state OPA di-
rector described the operation of price
panels in facilitating the handling of
consumer complaints. He urged all
the representatives of labor present
to bring back to the various local
unions the message that only through
the active work of consumers groups
and co-ordinating of activities in con-
sumer groups could price control be
made effective and roll back of prices
brought about. He quoted Mr.. Brooks
on the comparison of labor members
of local boards in Montana with rep
resentation in other states in this re-
gion and the statement that Montana
was well ahead. But" he added,
there is still work to be done in this
program" and he asked for the CO.
operation of organized labor in bring
ing the program of labor participation
to greater and speedier realization.
Discussion ensued regarding the
continuing development of labor adj

Ed Mason suggested that Don Chap

to sit in as a member of the execu-
tive committee in any further meet

Spouse to that treatment followed
closely. This is the ideal picture,
one we must strive to realize If we
would do the fair thing by these af-
flicted people. And, while eight more
doctors is number not to be thought
of now, the addition of two or three
is imperative, it seems. With salaries
provided that will bring trained men
or women, and equipment furnished
with which they can accomplish some
results.
Summing briefly this report, the fol-
lowing specific things should be kept
in mind:
1. That appropriations should be in
creased rather than decreased for the
current needs of the institution
2. That buildings and equipment
should be modernized as soon as pos
sible, but not until after the war, of
course.
3. That the superintendent should
be, without question, the administra-
tive and executive head and be held
accountable.
A. That the institution is under
stated to the point where proper
care and treatment of the patients
is impossible.
s. That better salaries be provided
for the doctors and others in key
positions, and better wages generally.
6. The psychiatric treatment of the
fanfc oh 1a cfr
effected wherever possible, to the end
that those cured may be released.
7. That careful observation over a
period of time be made of
patients to make sure these
actually are insane before they are
as such.
s. That a considerable economic
benefit will result, a great saving to
the state, from thus wedding out those
patients who have no business at this
and a corresponding better
care be allowed of those who must
remain.

IN It's bel1ef, creates situation at our
state hospital which is anything but
harmonious. DR.. Holmes, a woman OF
great character and considerable driv-
ing force, is endeavoring to move
heaven and earth to put into effect
this modern method of patient treat
ment at Warm Springs, to the end
that patients may be restored to a
normal state of mental health and
released eventually from the institu-
ton. The method calls for many diff
ferent kinds of treatment, according
to the particular need, therapeutic
and psychopathic. Therapeutic treat
ments, such as insulin and metrozol
injections, are already being tried to
electric shock treatment will be used
when the equipment can be secured.
A large factor, however, in the treat
ment of these patients who offer some
promise of recovery, is the personal,
approach, the leading of the patients
back to a normal mode of thought
through occupational and recreational
diversions.
Dr. Holmes endeavors to make use
of all these methods of treatment for
the improvement of the patients. But
considerable opposition has arisen to
her efforts in some respects. One of
the difficulties arises in the matter
Of mixed dancing. The practice of
occasional dances for the patients was
instituted at Warm Springs some
months ago but complaints have come
from many of the attendants of their
bad effect upon the patients. A con-
siderable noise has been stirred up
about these dances, and your commit
tee is not prepared to say first hand
whether they actually be harmful or
not. We have the information from
10 other state institutions of the kind,
that these have been holding dances
for the patients for many years past
and that they regard them as highly
beneficial. Under the present circum-
stances, however, where strong OPP
position to the dances exists at the
Warm Springs institution, we would
suggest that great care should be
taken in selection of those patients
who are allowed to attend the dances
and that strict supervision of the

In the hospital ward we found that
pains are taken to provide each pa
| tient with the special food he needs
Each plate is prepared for the indi
vidual patient and has his name
placed on it. Many of these patients
in the hospital ward come to central
dining room for their meals, but that
rule holds for these as well as for
those patients who are confined to
their rooms.
That the meals are actually much
like those shown on the menus was
proven to our satisfaction when we
reached the Warm Springs institution
unannounced at noon and went direct
ly to the dining rooms to observe
what was placed on the tables and
how the patients reacted to the meal.
One thing Immediately noticeable
was, that the patients were cleaning
up their food with considerable gusto.
The plates were heaped with stew
of mixed vegetables and meat which
gave off a savory odor and appeared
tempting to one who cares for stew.
Some of the patients had already
cleaned up their plates and were
reaching for more from large dish
in the center of the table. All were
eating heartily.
1t might be said that the meals are
served on small square tables which
accommodate six or eight persons.
Thus all can reach the main dish in
the center. But the original serving
on the plates is placed there by wait
ers or attendants before the meal
starts, the plates being warmed, be-
forehand to keep the food hot. 1t is
perhaps a fact, as study of the
menus indicates, that the meals are
an amending succession of stews,
beans, and such boiled foods, with an
abundance of fair quality bread, some
butter, and now and then perhaps an
egg. The reason for the stews has
already been indicated, that = the
kitchen facilities afford little chance
to prepare the food in any other way.

| Food
Much complaint has been made
about the food in times past. Be-
cause of this, and in accordance with
recommendation made by commit
tee of the House of Representatives
which investigated Warm Springs two
years ago, dietitian was employed
some time back to look after the
planning and preparation of the
meals. Before the advent of this
dietitian, Mrs. Wolfe, there were many
stories told of how employees of the
food supplies which were meant for
the kitchen but failed to reach that
destination. So Mrs. Wolfe saw that
check was made of all foods leav-
ing the commissary, cellars, or butch
er shop, and then a second check
when these reached the kitchen. Thus
she made sure that the foods she or
dered got to the kitchen and to the
patients-not to some one else. Her
planning of meals is done a week
ahead so that no difficulty is encoun-
tered in getting foods delivered at
the right times, and her menus are
prepared with a view to keeping the
meals varied in makeup, appearance
and taste so that these will be attrac-
tive as well as properly balanced.
No elaborate meals could be ex-
pected at the price of 6.3 cents each,
and it seems remarkable that such
wholesome meals s Mrs. Wolfe's
menus for December show, could be
put out at that price. But here are
the menus for three days, the oath,
25th, and 26th of December, 1912,
chosen thus to show what was served
on Christmas day, while the other
days represent fairly we'll what the
menus showed all through the month.
