Columbus, Ohio. Mental health
in Ohio is on the threshold of a
new era, it was predicted today by
legislative leaders of the Ohio Gen.
eral Assembly following the pas
sage last week of the general ap-
preparations bill in the House of
Representatives totalling $943, ,052,- :
500.
Allocated to the Division of Men,
tai Hygiene is an all-time high ap-
preparation of $S4, ,SO5, ,374 for the
two year period beginning July /.
In announcing the states budget,
Frank Mcclure of Ashland Coun-
ty, Chairman of the House Finance
Committee, said, I'VE are setting
up here in Ohio one of the finest
mental hygiene programs in any of
the AZ states"
An entirely new phase of the
mental health program in this state
will be initiated with one item in
the budget which calls for SIS, ,489,-
$50 to finance training program
for psychiatrists, psychologists,
therapists, and nurses.
This proposed training program
was hailed as a milestone in caring
for, and curing the mentally i'll by
Roger Cloud, Speaker of the House
of Representatives. II am confident
that we will have one of the out
standing programs of m en- t
health in the nation" Cloud de-
clared.
The training program was agreed
upon after weeks of extensive re-
search and consultation with ex-
ecutive heads of the mental insti-
tutions. 1t was found, for example,
that instead of the present go psy-
chiatrists, the stage should have
235 for its mental hospitals, and in
stead of the present staff of 433
nurses, there should be 1929.
Cloud announced that the train
ing schools would be set up at
Cleveland, Columbus ,and Cincin-
natl.
Assisting in the exhaustive study
of Ohio's mental health program
was the 19 member Public Welfare
Committee. This committee visited
many of the institutions and in
some instances conducted public
hearings, including hospitals at
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Gallipolis,
Dayton, Toledo, Orient and Haw-
thornden, and the Columbus State
School.
Commenting on the new mental
health program, Harry Cerkwell,
of Putnam County, Chairman of
the Public Welfare Committee,
said. "Ohio at the present time,
ranks 35th in caring for its $4,000
mental patients We hope, with
this new approach to the problem,

A ten-page report of the commit

its findings on construction needs

The report states that I'm many

According to the committee. re-

Looking back over the past ten
years you can put your finger on lot
of progress that has been made in our
community and you can credit the
Tabor City Merchants Association
with lot of the credit.
But interest has been lacking in
recent months and the organization
is in desperate need of shot in the
arm. This is the time of year when
the annual banquet should be held
and the time for electing new officers.
No organization ever pleases every
one and no doubt there have been
some decisions made by the merchants
association that were not totally
pleasing to all concerned.
Yet, there's no room for doubt that
the association has done a great deal
to promote the Tabor City community
and to let the interest continue to lag

There are three reasons for careful
vehicle maintenance.
First, it makes for economy.
Everyone knows that cloth<s that
are we'll cared for look better and
wear longer year after year. It's no
secret that household appliances
toaster, iron, washer-when kept in
good working condition, give longer
service per dollar. So with your car.
A smooth running vehicle saves dol
lars per mile for every mile you drive.
Second, the convenience is wonder
full.
Ever reach for knife to prepare a
grapefruit, only to find the aspirin
bottle empty? Such minor annoyances
point up the convenience of sound
vehicle maintenance. The well-main-
tanned car responds when you want
it to. 1t doesn't "let you down" at in
convenient moments.

Third. good vehicle maintenance
means safety.
When a life-perhaps your own
is at stake, it is important to have
brakes that hold. AT night on an UNI
familiar highway it is soul-satisfying
to switch on yiur lights and know and
see that they work. Sudden sleet or
wet. sticky snow can bring danger
and fear-but the knowledge that
vclr windshield wiper is working
makes the driving hazard little cas-
Ter. When you have to go into a quick
maneuver because of some road jock
ey's antics, it is comfort to know
that front wheel alignment is depend
able.
Here, then, are three sound reasons
why you should support the State
Department of Motor Vehicles cam
paign for vehicle maintenance.
And remember, the greatest of these
is Safetyi

No one seems to know what
