VIM. Knowles, Custodian
Resires After 80 Years
Service Az School

Truman Elementary School unit
ed with its branch : Reynolds
Street School - to honor William
Knowles upon his retirement as
Custodian.
For 50 years, Mr.. Knowles has
faithfully served the school. He
says: i've enjoyed the time spent
though other people might think the
work is nerve-racking.
A custodian's job is quite varied
including as it does. the mainten-
ance of both building and grounds,
the responsibility Of seeing that
facilities are available for functions
conducted in the auditorium. class
rooms, etc.
Miss May Sands who has been
teaching for the past forty-four
years presented Mr.. Knowles with
a bouquet. Attached was bag con-
tanning fifty dollars. This sum had
been contributed by carious mem
bers Of the faculty and the pupils.
EYE GLASSES GIVEN
MIR. Knowles was also the reci-
pient Of . gift certificate providing
for a pair of reading glasses.
Something that he had needed and
wanted for a long time.
A Bit OF humor was injected into
the ceremony when Miss Sands in
formed Mr.. Knowles of the reading
glass gift. She told the GA year old
ionitor:
Il do hope you won't use the
glasses entirely for devouring true
romances, or for looking at the
pretty girls on the street.
We understand you are seri-
0us Bible student and faithful
member of the First Baptist
Church. Maybe you'll spend your
retired time reading the Bible that
YOU love so much"
Approximately six hundred stu
dents, Mr.. Wilbur S. Franklin, prin-
ciple of Truman Elementary
school, and his staff were present
fer the ceremony.
The program began with songs,
the Lords prayer, and the Oath of
Allegiance to the nag. It conclud-

BOSTON LR - Exposing yourself

disease every day for long time
is just as dangerous as getting
one big does of the infection all

This discovery. which goes con-
trary to u. S. Public Health serv-

Society Of American Bacteriolog-
lists today by Drs. L. J. Goldberg
and H. NJ. S. Watkins of the Naval
Biological Laboratory, University
of California.
The Public Health belief has
been that very small numbers Of
germs might not make you i'll no
matter how often you got them.
Such germs could come from as
scciating with sick persons for
short periods of time.
The university doctors tried the
experiment on mice. They let the
animals breathe each day enough
specially contaminated air to get
in their lungs 60 10 10 penumonia
and strep germs.
The mice repeated this dose
daily for 30 days. A few got either
pneumonia or strep infections.
Other mice were given in a
single dose as much pneumonia
and step as the first got in so days.
The number of mice getting sick
from the massive dose was the
same as the number sickening aft
er the so days exposure.
In both cases per cent of the
animals died.

Pvt. J. f. Hawkins, whose wife,

months in Korea and has found
in his combat experience that it's
true what they say about mud
and CRIME in Korea.
But he has also learned that
while it is rugged and dirty

in Korea can be like Saturday
night at home as far as bathing is
concerned. Set up behind his art

master shower unit operating
seven days a week.
When the Communists offer the
7th Division Artillery respite from
battle, the Artillerymen make
ample use of the field shower unit.
Private Hawkins is serving as
truck driver in Battery B of the
48th Field Artillery Battalion. He
was employed by the Fair Mack
Corp. in Washington, before en-
tering the Army in Januarv 1851.

Panel Discussion Hghlights Meeting
OfCOunty Mental Hygiene Society

Problems of present day intra-
mural psychiatry were discussed
by panel of a psychiatrists and
one psychiatric social worker at
a recent open meeting of the Mont
gomery County Mental Hygiene
Society.
The speakers, all on the staff
at Chestnut Lodge Sanitarium, dis
cussed aspects of psychiatry rang
ing from misconceptions of mental
illness prevalent hundreds of years
ago to the role of the social work
er in aiding patients to adjust to
"the world outside" after their stay
in the hospital.
Moderator of the panel was DR..
George Preston, former Medical
Health Commissioner and author
of the book entitled "Psychiatry
for the Curious"
DIR. Normal C. Rintz gave a
brief history of psychiatry, empha-
sizing historic differences in pub
lie attitude towards the mentally
ill.
The mentally i'll, he reminded his
listeners, used to be regarded as
possessed of evil spirits. Modern
thought believes they have a type
of illness which may be treated.
DIR. Harold F. Searles summar-
lied for the group developments in
methods of psychotherapy since
the discovery by Freud of the I'M
conscious mind and his development
of psychoanalysis. Recent shifts in
psychiatric thought, stated DR..
Searles, have placed more empha-
sis. on the patients relationships
with other persons than did early
psychoanalyists, who believed the
patients conflicts were primarily
within himself.
DR.. Marvin l.. Adland, speaking
Aof the role of the mental hospital
Fin the treatment of severely dis
turbed patients, termed mentally
i'll patient one who "has become
sick among well people, and now
must become we'll among sick
people," He emphasized the impor-
lance of honesty in dealing with
the mentally i'll, and said that the
security and permissive attitude
present in a good mental hospital
enabled patients who had found a
combination of internal and extern
al problems too much for them to
tackle their internal problems.
Mrs. Doris Lynch, psychiatric
social worker, described her role
as that of a bridge to the out
side world" She defined a psy-
chiatric social worker as one who
worked on the external problems
with a knowledge of the internal
problems.
1t is the psychiatric social work
er, Mrs. Lynch pointde out, who,
with the understanding help of the
patients family and friends, helps
him to find place for himself in
the institutions and relationships
of society. az
