Dora Shaw Heffner Heard in
SPLENDID Talk for OAR.
Edited BY Anne Hardy Davis

She stressed the fact that mental.
as well as physical ills, may be
treated satisfactorily.
As an illustration of the crowded
nature of state institutions, Mrs.
Heffner pointed out that the spas
tics and the epiloptics, who do not
belong with this group, are in the
same institution as the mental de-
fectiVeS.
OTHER PROBLEMS
Problems of other institutions,
the homes for juveniles, the home
for the blind, the eXtra-mural care
which should be under the guild
ance of properly trained probation
and parole officers, the need for
additional clinics such as the Lang
ley Porter clinic and the one in
stitution in the state which gives
the malaria treatment for syphile-
tics, problems connected with the
licensing of private institutions and
the need for trained investigator
in this connection, were also dis
cussed by Mrs. Heffner in her talk

These institutions are yours
and am interested in having them
places where people can be sent and
be assured of proper care under

Unless the people realize the things
we ask for will result in adjusting
many individuals to useful lives,
we can do little, but money spent
wisely for these needs will be the
best investment California can
make"
Many interested questions were
asked by the audience afterwards,
Mrs. Heffner proving her self to
be not only most attractive per-
son but a woman of commensenSe
and understanding, well qualified
by her years Of training as a
lawyer her experience in juvenile
