The Problem of Mental Reulth

National Mental Health Week, which
begins today under the sponsorship of the
United States Junior Chamber of Com
merce, is meant to focus as much public
attention as possible on problem that
has been neglected too much.
A few statistics are enough to illustrate
the gravity Of that problem. Thus, Of
the men examined for the draft in the
recent war, 1,s46.000 az per cent of the
totaD were rejected for neuropsychiatric
disorders; almost 48 per cent of all our
hospital beds in 1947 were in institutions
dealing with those disorders: one in every
ten Americans now living will be incapac-
itated by mental trouble, and one in every
twenty will be hospitalized by 1t at some
time in his life.
These figures are cited on the authority
of the National Mental Health Foundation
headed by former Supreme Court Justice
Owen J. Roberts. They explain why the
Toundation-through just such measures
as this weeks observance-is making
every effort to awaken the American
people to the fact that the situation calls
for action lest 1t grow progressively worse.
The action needed includes public educa-
ton, enlargement of co-ordinated research
programs, and steps to improve present
methods Of treatment.
According to the Foundation, the prob
lem very definitely can be brought under
control. With the knowledge we now
have-using it in our homes. schools.
churches, industries courts. etc.-we can
prevent much mental sickness. and by.
nroynnt clinical treatment incinient cases
can be stopped almost as soon as they
start As for hospitalized patients, their
full recovery can be greatly helped If they
are offered better institutional care.
Points like these deserve careful con-
sideration not only during one week OF
the year but during all weeks. The prob

The SickIy Potomac

In checking back into the past OF the
Potomac River, Assistant Health Officer
Seckinger came upon this description Of
the river by an enthusiastic missionary
to. the Indians: ut is the sweetest and
greatest river / have ever seen" That
was more than three centuries ago. Three
hundred years of residential, agricultural
and industrial growth in the Potomac
Valley have wrought sad changes. To the
Interstate Commission on the Potomac
River Basin DR.. Seckinger gave depress-
ing picture of the river as 1t is today
"It is sick unto DEATH" he said, "for it
carries, as 1t courses along, all the man
made filth that he is able to bestow
A sickly portrait of noble river"
The Potomacs condition is matter Of
particular concern to the commission.
Created by compact ratified by Congress
and by the Legislatures of Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania this
interstate-Federal agency is slowly but
surely making headway in its fight to
clean up the river. Most of its efforts so
far have been directed toward eliminating
or at least reducing the enormous amount
OF untreated sewage and industrial waste
which daily pours into the stream from
its headwaters to Alexandria and beyond
This burden of filth is health menace
to any who venture to swim In the river
and nuisance to all who use the water
way for fishing or other recreation.
At Its quarterly meeting in Bedford
Springs Pennsylvania, the commission de-
voted much attention to third source of
pollution-erosion of farmland in the
upper reaches of the basin. This is a
phase of the problem which interests not
only the river purifiers but the soil con-
servationists. Nearly two million tons of
mud are carried downstream each year
from the fertile farming areas far up
stream-especially in the Monocacy region
near Frederick. This silt destroys fish,
feeding grounds and builds bars that
change the channels and make it necessary
to dredge the river to facilitate navigation
below Washington. 1t also comphcates the
task of filtering and purifying the water
for drinking purposes in Washington and
elsewhere.
It is good to know that the sickly Poto-
mac is being studied and treated by so
sompetent and energetic a group as the
commission on the Potomac River Basin.
It's work necessarily cannot be done over
night. Public support must be enlisted
through constant and intelligent education
of the people to the dangers Of polluted
river and to the necessity for sewage
treatment plants, curtailment of indus
trial-waTte dumping and measures for
preventing soil erosion. The progress
already achieved toward these ends justi-
hes hope that eventually the ailing river
once again will be pleasant not only to
look upon but to swim and fish in. The
goal is well worth the effort being made
by the commission and lke-minded con-
servation groups and individuals.

Too Much Tin In Cars
Designed on Modern Lines.

To the Editor of The Star:
In the editorial page OF The Star OF April
Is the article on the modern automobile
certainly was timely, in fact overdue. 1t
referred to the body design. the trend OF
which is to increase the size Of the car
until changing of tire has become major
operation" The AAA has taken the matter
UP and is trying to bring 1t to the attention
of the proper people in order to simplify the
designs. have felt this way for long time.
mechanic with an average salary. think
that q car could be built with less tin in
the body, particularly In the tenders. fewer
chrome fixtures, and with q. view toward
more economical upkeep. believe In this
way Q car could be sold cheaper than It
Is today.
I realize In advocating this economy In
design that 1t would reduce work. However.
once the backlog Of war orders has been
filled, ! am sure that the ordinary citizen
in the medium SALARY group cannot buy the
present car.
We used to pride ourselves on bringing an
automobile within the reach Of every one
but. with the modern trend in car design.
the upkeep is such that people hesitate TO
buy such hulk Of tin" do hope that
the AAA will be successful.
