State To Observe
Mental Health Week

Mental illness, now recognized as
major public health problem, de-
serves the serious consideration of
Marylanders who are interested in
their own well being and that of
their families and communities" ac-
cording to a statement just issued by
Dir. r. H. Riley, Director Of the State
Depal tment of Health. Mental
Health Week, which is being observed
in Maryland and throughout the
United States during the week be-
ginning May 2nd and ending May Sth,
calls particular attention at this time
to our very real and pressing mental
health needs.
"The 1851 campaign stress IS
mental health as the birthright of
every child. The slogan selected to
focus attention upon this theme is:
Build Mental Health-our children's
birthright, the nations strength
This emphasis seems especially
desirable in view of the fact that
childhood experiences are largely
responsible for the mental and emo
tional disturbances that occur among
adults. Improving mental health
among our children should not only
promote their present happiness and
well being but should also prevent
much mental illness that would
otherwise occur among the adults of
the future.
Throughout the nation, Mental
Health Week will be observed under
the sponsorship of the National AS
ISOLATION for Mental Health, Inc In
this State the observance will be
sponsored jointly by the Mental Hy-
giene Society of Maryland Inc, the
Maryland State Departm ent of
Mental Hygiene and this Depart
ment's Division of Mental Hygiene.
In Maryland number of special
activities have been scheduled for
this week. State and private mental
hospitals will hold Open House and
county mental hygiene clinics will
carry out suitable obSerVances. Edu-
cational films will be shown at public
meetings. There will be Transcribed
musical radio program as well as
television show. Two exhibits of in
terest will be shown in Baltimore
City-a display at the Baltimore
Museum of Art of drawings sketched

mental hygiene progress of the three

purposes Of Mental Health Week
are to inform the public concerning
mental illness, to gain support for
more adequate program of proven
ton and early treatment of mental
disorders and to provide additional
professional personnel needed in
mental institutions. Emphasis will be
upon continuing needs and year-round
services, for this special week can
only call attention to our problems"

Lean Days End at C. Chamberlain,
Surprise of Interhigh League
(Another in a SeriesJ
By Brion Bell, Jr.

Chamberlain Vocational has
been one of the surprises of the
Interhigh Basketball League this
season.
The Volts, never before rated as
anything but a pushover in inter-
high athletics, is gaining new re-
spect. Chamberlain has a heads
up. hustling ball club and the
other coaches know it.
In every game they have played
the Volts have given a fine &C
count of themselves. Chamber
lain has lost to Tech, Coolidge
and Roosevelt, but by only four
points to each. It has beaten Bell
and Wilson, looking especially
good against Wilson.
Chamberlain still has Eastern,
Anacostia and Western on the
schedule and a sweep OF it's re-
manning games-not too far
fetched to imagine - probably
would land the Volts a playoff
spot.
Volts Have a Chance.
Eastern has been unimpressive
this year, Anacostia was beaten by
Wilson (already in the Volts win
column) and Western just did beat
Bell by two points, team Cham
berlain slipped past by three. So
the Volts still have some chance
for the playoffs.

until his team won an interhigh

with a well-rounded club. Chuck
Flaherty, one of the most under
rated boys in the league, is per-
haps the best.
Flaherty, a tall, thin pivotman,
does a good job under the boards
and has a fine hook shot which he
should use more frequently. Joe

with the rebounds and is a good
point-getter.'

Tony is not always that accurate
and he shoots plenty.
Shine Against Wilson.
Jack Ferrari is good from out
side and usually scores around 10
points a game. Bob Bauman is
an adequate floor player, while
Ronald Brill is used as a ball
handler and first-line substitute
In the Wilson victory, Cham
berlain's first win over one OF
the older interhigh schools since
last basketball season, the Volts
looked especially good. They
hustled from the start, shot well
and passed accurately. The boys
demonstrated from the opening
whistle they were out to win and
they did.
Chamberlain showed 1t could
handle the ball as well as any
high school five in the city when
it froze the leather in the last
three minutes of play. It kept
a frantic Wilson team from get
ting possession and managed to
shake a man loose for a game
clinching layup.
Inaccuracy at the foul line has
handicapped the Volts as much
as any one factor this season. A
few more free throws through the
net this year and Chamberlain
would have converted several
losses to wins.

St. Johns Scores 77th in Row,
But Finds Roosevelt Touqh

St. Johns has added its 1ith
straight win of the basketball
season, but is finding the streak
increasingly difficult to extend.
The Johnnies had trouble with
another underdog last night as
they stopped a stubborn Roose-
velt High, 1894. at Roosevelt.
st. Johns tops the Catholic
League and Roosevelt is tied with
Tech for the interhigh lead.
With the Rough Riders shoot
ing definitely off and with their
own height proving an advantage.
st. Johns ran up a 10-point
lead at one point in the first
half, only to have its interhigh
foe cut the margin to 26-18 by
halftime.
Roosevelt applied more pres
sure in the second half and had
the Johnnies down to 1890 at the
end of the third period. But
st. Johns, without the help of
Bob Reese, their tall center who
had fouled out. managed to con-
troll the play in the exciting
last period while allowing the
Rough Riders only two goals.
1t was a night of good perform
ances for both teams, with no one
player monopolizing honors. Bill
Gaskins led the Johnnies' scoring
with 10 points. Bill Smith hit for
nine for Roosevelt.
st. Johns did not help its cause
any at the foul line, missing 10
free throws before connecting, and
it didn't excel after that.
With three minutes left to play,
Roosevelt switched from the zone
defense that had contained St.
Johns to a pressing man-to-man
defense. But the smooth ball
handling of the entire st. Johns
squad prevented the Riders from
closing the gap.
In other games featuring inter-
high teams, three league teams
won while one lost in tussling with
outside competition. Tech over
whelmed Bethesda Chevy Chase,
60-36; Wilson beat Blair, 54-38;
Coolidge defeated Georgetown
Prep, 47-39, and Anacostia lost to
Priory, $3.50.
Techs rebounding ability and
good defense got it an easy win
at Bethesda. The Trainers used
their fast break offense to pour
in the points as Snookie Herman
and Babe Marshall led with 18
and Is, respectively. Bob Avant
was high for BIC. c. with nine.
Wilson had to overcome a 12-
point halftime deficit to beat Blair
on the Blazers court. Wilson
trailed, 54-38, after the first two
periods, but rallied behind Don
Scott and Walt Schiff who were
high scorers for the Tigers with
Is and 13 points, respectively. w.
Tompkins had high for Blair with
19 points.
Coolidge. deadlocked at 1918
