The Key West citizen., 1952-10-16

Walter ]. Burnham, electronics
technician, four years a Key West
resident, has released for publica-
tion letter he wrote to President
Truman regarding national health
problems and workable solutions to
these problems.
Mr.. Burnham's approach to the
problem was from the angle of
promoting natural health rather
than waiting until people are al
ready sick and then providing them
with medical attention.
When he was interviewed, Mr..
Burnham said that his interest in
the connection of nutrition with
natural health was aroused by the
fact that one of his two children
was in poor health during his early
years. This child, boy, is now
eight years old. and Mr.. Burnham
is sure that the improvement of his
physical condition is due to the
attention that has been given to
nutritional factors.
At least three years Of research
and two months of actual writing
went into the composition of the
letter that has been sent to the
President.
When Mr.. Burnham sent TO the
President for a copy of the book
which Mr.. Truman endorsed, ''The
Nations Health written by Oscar
r. Ewing, he became interested in
the presentation the book makes as
70 just how sick Americans are
(which is almost unbelievable and
indicates something should deiinit-
ely be done about it.
In the opening paragraph of the
letter, Mr.. Burnham says, Il am
writing this letter pertaining to
health hoping that the government
win make an effort to bring good
natural health to every home in
America.
Mr.. Burnham goes on to say that
BIS definition of the word health is
s'the ability TO never get sick. :"
Thereby he feels that hospitals and
doctors could be dispensed with, He
states further on in the letter that
we must. Of course. still have doc
tors to set broken bones and take
stitches, but that the failure Of bas-
ic body material is the fault of the
food we eat. because every bit of
our body material passes through
our mouths.
"The reason Tor poor health is
due to one or more Of three things:
The first being design. the other
two involving material" In the

st. EIizobeths Patients Reveal
Inner 7 houghts in Art Display

One Of the most remarkable ex-
hibits Of art ever shown in the
Capital is on display in the Federal
Security Administration Building
lat independence avenue and
Fourth street NV.
All of the 81 paintings adorning
the walls were done by patients in
st. Elizabeths Hospital.
There is nothing new about
painting as mental therapy. One
|of the first prescriptions Of the
|psychiatrist today is to tell his
patient to buy palette and an
easel.
To DR.. Winfred overholser, su-
|perintendent of the hospital, who
viewed the opening Of the exhibit
with great satisfaction yesterday,
the Importance Of painting is the
same as psycho-drama and the
psyche dance, both fostered at St.
Elizabeths-it gives the patient an
opportunity for self-expresssion.
What is interesting about this
exhibit for the layman is the
paintings themselves and the pro-
gram notes prepared by the in
