This type of understanding must be
broadened. We need more such rec
ognition of the necessity for the large
scale improvements that must take
place to accommodate the conditions
that presently exist in the problem
of caring for our mentally deficient
children
THE STATE HOSPITAL AT
WARM SPRINGS is for the mentally
i'll. The mentally i'll are those whose
once sound minds have deteriorated
like cracked wall, and those whose
once sound minds have not been
able to withstand the extremes of
emotional stresses. Many of these
people can be cured and returned
to society.
Press releases from Helena during
the meetings of the Montana Medical
Association the past week confirm
the recognition of mental health as
the nations number one health prob
lem With this recognition has come
help for those who will never need at
tention in the State Hospital at Warm
Springs. But also with this recogni-
ton will come opportunity for treat
ment that can be secured no other
place.
Figures released by the superin-
tendent, DR.. Spratt, at Warm Springs
show that although the admissions
at the State Hospital have increased
500 the average population has in
creased only 10. With improved ia
calities the percentage of cured pa
tients would be much larger.
The bed space in both institutions
is dangerously and illegally over
crowded. Larger and better trained
staffs are needed in both the State
Training School and State Hospital.
Long considered the 'step-children"
OF the state institutions, Warm
Springs and Boulder must receive
the financial support of the state
IT they are going to meet the mini
mum requirements demanded of them
in the field of mental health.

But there are disadvantages. In
my opinion, when you hold a suit as
weak as four to the eight spot 1t
will not usually turn out to be your
best trump suit, unless partner
himself can and does bid it. True,
when you bid a very weak suit,
partner will not give you a double
raise without as many as four cards
In the suit. But he can prop
erly give you a single raise with
only three to the queen or king,
in which event you will be sorry
you brought up the subject.
And there is also the prospect of
partner barging into three no
trump, counting on you (reasonably
enough to have at least a stopper
In your bid suit. When the op-
ponentS rattle OF five or six tricks
in your suit, partners reaction will
be somewhat grim.
Mr.. Dale made the sensible re-
sponse of one no-trulnp in today's
deal and a final contract Of four
hearts was reached.
Many optimistic players would 60
set at this contract, but 1t was made
to order for Mr.. Meek. He ex-
poets the worst on every hand and
this time he got it. But he was
prepared.
The queen of diamonds was opened
and won by the ace in dummy. The
careless play is to start trumps at
this point, and If you do that you're
through.
Not Mr.. Meek. He counted on
trumps being divided SO. At trick
two he ruffed a diamond in his
hand. He caShed the king and ace
of trumps and ruffed another dia-
mond. He then laid down his two
remaining high trumps, the ace and
king of spades and the ace Of clubs
for 10 tricks.
