Volunteers Needed
At State Hospital
continued from arsr p,g.,

Milford people can help-both in
the recovery Of patients and in the
understanding of mental illness
Residents from Kent County who
were admitted to Farnhurst during
the past year numbered 33. This is
10 per cent of the total admissions
iuf the year, while the county rem
resents IL per cent of the states
population. In neighboring SUSSEX
County, 73 were admitted to Farm
hurst. This was 1877 per cent of
the admissions from a county hav-
ing 1S.5 per cent of the population
OF the state. These figures do not
include the total hospital pOpula-
ton from the. two counties. how
ever for there are many others
from Kent and Sussex who wouId
benefit from volunteer services.
AT the Governor Bacon Health
Center, IS people from Kent Conn
ty were admitted during 1949-5O
or 9.S per cent of the years total
On the other hand, Sussex had lao
admissions, or 1919 per cent of
those admitted Volunteers are also
proving helpful at this treatment
center. Draperies have been made
and donated by friends, but pic-
lures for the Walls-bOth for chill
dren and adults-would be heIpful
TOO. Other supply needs range
Irom finger paints all the way IN
to television sets.
Giving small tea parties, supplv-
ing craft materials, putting on a
1uIl-scale evenings entertainment
donating phonOgraph records, Civ
ing a sewing machine, contributing
toys, providing an orchestra and
sponsoring a dance-these are
other suggested volunteer activi-
ties.
In addition to the Kent and Sus-
sex admissions to Farnhurst and
the Health Center, there were 1S9
Mental Hygiene Clinic cases from
Kent during the year. This repre-
sents IA per cent of the total cases
treated, while Kent only repre-
sents 12 per cent of the population
in the state. Nearby Sussex, with
only 1913 per cent Of the states
population, had S65 clinic cases. or
1858 per cent of the total.
How do volunteer activities helm
mental patients?
Sometimes it is Just friendly as
sociatiOn, Or-in the case of arts
and crafts or social events-it
gives the patient a medium for ex-
preston, or perhaps the volun-
teer's role is just to provide whole
some environment. Because it is
impossible to supply all the pa-
TENTS needs with paid workers
alone, volunteers are a real part
of the psychiatric treatment team

white, individuals or groups-who
