I'VE believe mental health is
the NO. health problem OF our

behavior problems, for if treat

mental illness can be pre-
vented"

A desire to give American
youth opportunity to develop
fully is the announced aim of
another resolution urging
members to promote programs

fects on children of salacious
literature, crime and horror

Approval of the objective of
