 This program and service will lake out of our hospitals for the mentally i'll an appreciable pro- portion of their present population and thus substantially relieve the Datient load" the Governor said.
 Another attempt to keep the hospitals from over -crOwding is the establishment of Out-patient mental clinics. The program is an attempt to prevent mental illness by treating persons in the first stages of mental dis order and preventing their con-
 ditiOns from becoming worse, the Governor said.
 Among the most important pro- 3ects under consideration by thu State, said Governor Baldwin, i the establishment of research ant study programs at the hospital that would attract highly-trainet physicians, nurses, psychiatric aide $echnicians.
 The Norwich and Middletow1 hospitals already have been approv ed by the American College of sur Reons as hospitals where physician may serve accredited interneships the Governor noted. In addition, al three institutions have accredlte' schools of nursing.
 These projects, together with in creases in salaries and wages wh1cl would make more attractive posi- tions at the hospitals, will make tn States mental institutions propert etaffed and equipped institutions the Governor predicted.
