ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR
In reference to religious
services during the Holy
Week and A. M. E. Confer
ence, The Service League
wishes to announce their an
nual County Fair will be- held
at the Star City Auditorium
on Thursday, April 18th.
The grand parade will be-

We sincerely hope that all
organizations who find it at
all convenient will plan to en-

units or such other contri-
buttons as they see fit to lead
the crowds to the fair.

berg explains, some people with
deep emotional conflicts need
pretty intensive treatment to give
them insight into their problems
and maybe effect major changes in
their character, but many neurot-
les need simply to be reassured
and encouraged and given practi-
cal advice on how to run their
lives more smoothly.
6. What makes certain people
susceptible to mental ILL
ness?
At least half the people sick
enough to be in mental hospitals
are afflicted with schizophrenia -
loss of contact with the outside
world. Till lately research scien-
fists admitted they knew pain
fully little about why they devel-
oped it. Now authorities like DR..
Stevenson and his colleagues of
the National Association are say
ing, 1--WE are closing in on schizo-
phrenia.
Today schizophrenia is under
attack not only by the psychia-
trists but by other scientists too,
such as biochemists. For instance,
at Rockland State Hospital, DR..
Nathan S. Kline heads a team of
endocrinologists, psychologists
and biochemists which has
launched joint studies on several
hundred male schizophrenics at
the hospital. It's the first time so
many mentally sick people have
been encompassed in so broad an
investigation.
1t is already we'll known that
schizophrenics differ in crucial
ways from normal people. Studies
suggest that potential schizo-
phrenics may be spotted in early
childhood since they act differ
entity from other children; they
remain isolated, cause no trouble
but simply prefer being alone.
The National Association for
Mental Health is sponsoring II
research projects to get further
data on these youngsters and fol-
low up on differences between
adult schizophrenics and normal
men and women.
7. Once in a mental hospital,
tUIaGt are your chances of
being sent home?
The thousands of average citi-
zens interviewed by the Opinion
Research Center fear the chances
are pitifully slim. But the New
York State Department of Mental
Hygiene checked on schizophrenia

DON'T LET MENTAL ILLNESS SCARE YOU

patients admitted for the first time
to mental hospitals are past IS; in
some states it runs as high as a
half. Yet in the general popula-
ton, about five sixths are under
IS. Today US. mental hospitals
house 20 per cent more patients
than 10 years ago, but largely be-
cause there are more old people to
get mentally sick.
z. Is there more mental sick
ness in teenning cities?
Proportionatelymore New York
ers are admitted to mental hospi-
tails each year than any other US.
citizens. But the experts do not
blame the frantic pace of New
York living. Actually, they find,
New Workers and other big-city
dwellers don't have more mental
breakdowns than anyone else.
What they have is proportion
ately more psychiatrists to dag
nose mental illness, and more hos
pitals to send people to.
3. Are the mentally sick
menace to others?
"Ex-Mental Patient Stays Wife
and Leaps to Death" You've
seen those headlines, and they've
doubtless alarmed you. How often
do mentally sick people become
wild or dangerous?
Visit a large mental hospital
(the writer visited Rockland State
Hospital at Orangeburg, N. "
and the first thing that strikes you
is how many patients sit silently
and alone, pay no attention to
anyone.
Question the director, DR.. Alfred
M. Stanley, and he will tell you
that most often mental patients
are shy, seclusive souls who have
retreated into a world of their own,
want no part of other people or life
around them. Some mentally sick
people. whether in hospital or
out, do act disturbed and con-
fused, but as DR.. Stevenson of the
National Association for Mental
Health explains, "A very small
portion are a menace. The men,
tally i'll are really sick sheep, not
mad dogs"
Mentally i'll people don't COM
init any more crimes than any
other group, says DR.. Stevenson.
According to recent crime statis-
tics, more violent crimes are COM
mitted per capita by apparently
normal people. 1t is true, however,
that crimes committed by the
mentally unbalanced are more apt
to be of the violent and irrational.

and therefore frightening, variety.
4. What kind Of people don't
usually get mental illness?
Scientists have determined
there is state called mental
health" and if you have enjoyed
it up to now you have a good
chance of staying in good mental
balance. According to the
National Association for Mental
Health, you are probably mentally
healthy if you can honestly answer
yes to most of the following ques-
tions.
Do yOu feel comfortable about
yourself? Do you enjoy life, have
self-respect? Can you take disap-
pointment? Can you control an
ger, and are you normally free of
guilt feelings?
Do you feel right about other beO-
pie? Do you like and trust others,
consider their interests, without
letting them push you around?
CG,, you meet the demands of lJe2
Can you accept responsibilities,
make decisions? Can you make
good use of your abilities, plan
for the future without fearing it?
S. DO mental sicknesses usu-
ally get progressively ,COrse?
The average citizen is apt to
consider mental illness one-way
passage to doom, according to a
survey of over 1000 men and
women by the Opinion Research
Center, University of Chicago.
Psychiatrists are more reassuring.
A person sick enough to be classed
as psychotic (the deeper. more far
reaching disorders) may get worse,
or stay the same, or get better
spontaneously. A person whose
chief symptoms are despair, worry,
fatigue, weakness "a neurotic) isn't
likely to become psychotic or
wind up in a mental hospital.
However, his symptoms are likely
to become fixed unless he gets ade-
quate psychiatric treatment to
overcome them.
Interestingly. psychiatrists now
feel that such a person may need
briefer treatment than they used
to think necessary. For years,
psychiatrists thought that those
neMotic enough to need treat
ment usually required years of
psychoanalysis so that early un-
happy memories might be dredged
up and dispelled. Now the idea is
growing that such drawn-out,
complex treatment is not neces-
sary in most cases.
