The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1950-10-28

With the November 7th elections about two weeks
would be we'll for to include in post-voting
thoughts the merits of proposal that will appear the
ballot. 1t is known Proposal No. 2.
This proposal if approved by the voters would au-
horze the State of Michigan to borrow up $4,000 600
pan acquire construct and equip hospitals for the
tally i'll and epeptics training schools for detectives and
tuberculosis hospitals.
The necessity of these hospitals and training school
wildly pictured by statistics that show 80 600 hous
ed Michigans mental hospital And others that place
Michigan ranking 10th in acceptable facilities for the
mentally i'll.
These shocking conditions of overcrowding in our
present hospitals not only retard treatment and
cure but also deny supervised treamentto thousands who
in dire need. Besides these persons potentially
dangerous to themselves well as to others.
Mental illness strikes out of ten people, plus
out of twenty be treated confined in hospital dur
ing his life. Competent medical authorities, however,
opne that sixty to eighty per cent of these can be
cured.
The citizens of Michigan have opportunity to rem
edy this shameful condition by authorizing bond issue
which be obtained at two cent interest less or
for period of thirty years about forty cents year for
both principal and interest In other words the latter
would cost just four dimes year.
The mental and tubercuar hospital crisis in Michigan
can be met adequately if vote Yes for Proposal Two
at the November 7th elections.

Justice and discipline

From the Christian Science ls. lss0
One of the most tragic of all situations has come
out OF Korea. An American lieutenant, Leon A. Gilbert
has been condemned to death by courmartial charged
with refusing to advance with his command in the face
of the enemy
Without having before us all the evidence available
TO the military court would be improper challenge

and the circumstances which frame such incident
appropriate subjects for comment.
Military commanders and military courts are ALWAYS
faced with dual demands those justice and those of
discipline The closer to actual combat the more COMPEL

Our Refuge

goodness Of God was the basis Of
the works and teachings of Christ
Jesus. -.
The great Master. understood
and proved that God is Love, and
that Love is ever present and om-
nipotent. He knew that God ten
derby cares for His children, and
that the understanding of this
destroys inharmony and lack.
Jesus works of healing proved
this. His knowledge of Gods
abundant provision for His chill
dren enabled him TO feed multi
tudes. He proved that there is a
refuge from all ills in the under
standing of the true nature of God
and of man as His likeness, His
reflection.
God is always omnipotent Love.
He never changes, and His power
is available 10 all who understand
Him. ...
The more one understands that
God is Spirit and man is spiritual,
the more he can express the true
nature of man as the reflection OF
divine Love and prove that God is
his Father Mother, whose care for
His beloved child is ceaseless.

seven years ago.
1t has been a great inspiration
indeed to have been here. AS one
good Christian Scientist expressed
it, "A PentacoStal Season truly!"
There were wonderful testimon-

power of God, given by various
speakers.
An English woman spoke of
the wonderful deliverance from
Dunkirk. considering il second

something like this: Addressing
the soldier by name, he said
Now look here-we are on

the soldier did come to life! And

DECATUR. Ala. June 19.-This
is the town that Newspaperman
Barrett Shelton. says came from
"nothin' to somethin' in Is years.
The story goes back to the de-
preston year 1888 and Decatur
was without hope.
But let Mr.. Shelton, editor and
publisher of The Decatur Daily
tell it:
THE one major industry we
had, which had kept 1000 men
at work, closed. Another industry
which in earlier years we had sub
sidized and brought from New
England went bankrupt.
"a third industry, manufacturer
of full-fashioned hosiery. went to
the wall from poor management
and bad times. Seven Of eight
banks in our county closed.
"Our farm situation: We had
only one crop-cotton-and cotton
was S cents a pound. Lands were
selling for taxes. The people were
ill-housed, ill-clothed and out OF
hope.

"Our conversation might be
summarized thusly: All right. you
were not invited, but you're here.
Now what are you going to do?"

not going to do anything. You

"Our townspeople needed jobs,
our farm people needed month

once a year income from harvest
ing one crop.
"Our first step was to form a
chamber of commerce and We
decided a packing plant would
be the first venture. We per-
suaded the local ice company to
put in packing facilities when
there wasn't as much as one
