l can't resist stopping in at the
Electric Company, because they
have such beautiful things. This
week they're featuring a 10
cubic-fOOt Hotpoint refrigera-
TORN color, no less-fOr S299,-
95. This is a regular $399.95
model, with freezer top, door
shelves, and all kinds of nice
giZmOS.
Speaking of summer-Which |
was a few paragraphs back-a
new hot-Weather treat is in store
for residents of the Rockville
area when the TaStee- Freeze
stand on the pike opens tomor-
row. TaStee-FreeZe is a little like
ice cream and a little like frozen
custard, but just a bit different
from both. If you haven't tried
it yet, stop in for the grand open
ing tomorrow or Saturday.
Here's another treat for Rock
Villites-a chance to buy that new
pair of summer shoes you've
been wanting at bargain price.
Jaye's Bottery's sale is starting
today, and features values like
these: Red Cross shoes, usually
$11.95 and $12.95. now $7.99; wo-
mems Kedettes, regularly $3.95 to
$3.50, now $2.97; French Modern
dress shoes, regularly $6.95 to
1895, now 1897 or two pairs for
81.
The kids have probably worn
out their tennis shoes by now, so
why not stop in at Jaye's and
get them a new pair of Keds,
specially priced at $1.97?

Attend State
Meeting on
Mental Ills

DR.. William j. Peoples, County
Health Officer, and Ivan Assay,
president of the Montgomery
County Mental Hygiene Society,
are attending a conference in Bal
timore, July 20, to open a cam,
paign for doubling mental hy-
giene clinic service in Maryland
counties.
U. S. Public Health's minimum
standards call for one full time
fully stated clinic for every 10O,-
900 population. In Montgomery
County, Mr.. Assay explains, al
though we have a better start
than in many counties, people in
need of treatment here too often
have to wait whole year"
eve have but one clinic in Rock
vile, whereas, according to the
minimum standard, we should
have at least three well-located
professional teams" A balanced
team consists of a psychlatrist,
clinical psychologist and two psy-
chiatric social workers.
Concrete evidence of the need
for more mental health facilities,
according to Mr.. Assay, is that al
though intake was closed in June,
so people are listed for first in
tervieW, there are 20 whose dag
nosiS of need is not complete and
l6 children and adults were found
in need of literary whose treat
ment has not yet begun.
The Rockville clinic, sponsored
by the Mental Hygiene Society
and supported by Community
Chest and County Health Depart
ment funds, is in the process of
recruiting three new staff men,
