Mental Health Team Visit Palmer Area

An open meeting to discuss mental health problems in this area, and Alaska in general. was he'd on Tuesday evening of this week. Three members of the nlne-member team of experts in Alaska making a survey for the U. $. Public Health Service dis cussed various phases of mental health with an interested group of area residents.
 Present at the hearing were Dr. Robert T. Hewitt, chief of the hospital consultation servie- es of the National Institute of Mental Health; Mrs. Ruth Knee, social worker with the team, and Hecker Ragas administrative of fieer for the Institute and the survey team, and a large group Of interested residents.
 Dr. Hewitt pointed out that care of mental patients is uni que in Alaska, in regards to com munieations and transportation He told the audience that at the present time there are 89 Alas kan individuals at Merningside who are either now children, or were children when entered. He said that ordinarily two percent of the children of an area are re- tarded but that only one-tenth of one percent need institutional care, others need special schools closely coordinated with the de- partment of health and the edu- cation department.
 He stated that the location of the proposed mental hospital will be decided by the Territor- ial Department Of Health. He pointed out that because the fed eral government is going to spend $61a million, they will be interested in how it is spent and plans will have to have federal approval.
 He said at the present time it costs about S70,000 year for transportation of patients from Alaska to Morningside in Ore gon. About 90 patients are ad- mitted a year from Alaska.
 Make your own local ideas known to the Alaska Department Of Health" Dr Hewitt said. Where they will decide the hos pital will be located can not be determined immediately It will probably hinge on medical con- sultants available in that area; supporting services, personnel available (he said one employee to each patient), social work and activities available for patients.
 pr. Arthur Colberg, attending the meeting, pointed out that the Matanuska Valley has good water supply, beautiful scenery, and a good source of food. James Hurley and Richard Jones added that there is good supply of re- liable unskilled labor available in settled community with per manent residents. Others pointed out the proximity to the coal fields, central location in the heaviest populated section of Alaska. and other favorable req sons why they felt the hospital should be located within the area ef Palmer.
 Interested valley residents plan to get together and formu late what information they have in regards to the availability o1 land and other necessary facil ities and send the information to the Alaska Department ot Health asking that mental hos pital be placed in this area.
 The survey group has held similar hearings in Ketehikan Juneau. Sitka, Cordova, Valdez Anchorage, Fairbanks, Nome Barrow, Kodiak and Bethel to determine what facilities will be needed in Alaska under the new mental health program.
 Commitment procedures under the new act must be set up by the territorial legislature.

PRESIDENT TOLD FARMERS
SHOULD GET OFF BUTTS

Washington.-A Republican can
didate for Congress, George S.
Spence of Nashville, Tenn, told
White House reporters upon leav-
ing President Eisenhower's office
that he had said to the President:
Small farmers in my area are
finally realizing that if they want
to make a living they have to get
off their butts and go to work
like everybody else"
Mr.. Eisenhower, the Congress-
man said, responded as follows:
Il agree with that"
The White House Press Secre-
tary hurried to the Presidents
office, then told the press that
the Spence report doesn't reflect
? the Presidents opinion"
The incident recalled a remark
by the President as he arrived at
the home Of relatives in Boone,
Iowa, few days earlier.
The Associated Press reported
that as the President passed down
a receiving line, NARROW Williams,
Boone lawyer and chairman of the
local arrangements committee,
said to him:
The farmers are still complain
ing, Mr.. President"
At this the President exclaimed:
"By golly, we're doing all we can
for them"

1000 Trout
Planted In
Cartside Lake

Four thousand legal size trout
were planted at Gartside Lake,
Wednesday, delivered by the State
Fish and Game Department from
a hatchery near Bridger. The fish
r rainbow, 6 to 8 inches in
length, according to Waldo Mer-
rill, president of the Richland
County Sportsmen's Club. Fishing
for trout opens Sunday.
The public is urgently requested
to follow regulations, especially
no minnow fishing. Flys or worms
will be the best bait and minnow
fishing would soon spoil the lake
for everyone.
The fishing hours starting Sun
day will be 500 a. m. to 1000 p.
m. The limit is ten fish or 10 lbs.
and one fish, whichever is the
greater. No firearms are allowed
and for the present, boats can be
used only without motors.
The directors of the Club an
nounced that a gravel riprapping
bee is tentatively set for Monday,
June 4. At least twenty volun-
teer trucks are wanted. Kallevig
Brothers are donating their load
ing equipment. Other loading help
and equipment will be needed.
A master plan for recreational
development is now being worked
so that various organizations
and individuals can pick out some
project.

New Frontier
Airline Schedule
Effective June |

New Frontier schedule changes
effective June / may be the
answer to change the traffic
trend upward especially at Sid
ney. According to Sidney Cham
Der Aviation Committee members
loadings the last two months
have been disappointing and
more use is necessary to assure
future and improved service.
According to a letter received
at the Chamber office from John
Lindsay, Frontier vice president,
Traffic and Sales, the June LIST
schedule will operate as follows
through Sidney: "Our westbound
flight No. 81 will operate the
same, and will make the same
connection at Bismarck from
Braniff flight No. los from Aber-
deem, Huron, Watertown, Mime
apolis, Mitchell, Sioux Falls, and
making the same connection at
Billings to Northwest flight No.
103 to Great Falls, Missoula, Spo-
kane, Portland and Seattle.
"On the new schedule, the east
bound flight No. 80 will erv
Sidney instead of No. "a, and
will come through Sidney at 11:10
a. m. instead of 3:45 p. m. The
advantages to Sidney are: Instead
of having a az hour connection
at Bismarck to Northwest flight
No. 102 to Minneapolis, you will
have a quick half-hour connec-
ton to Northwest flight No. 104
nonstop to Minneapolis and also
Chicago. In addition you will
have a 2-hour connection at Bis
rex to Braniff flight No. LOG
to Aberdeen, Huron, Watertown,
Minneapolis, Mitchell, Sioux Falls,
Sioux City. The only disadvan-
tage is the breaking of the
Northwest connection at Billings
from the west at noon, making
it necessary to stop overnight in
Billings returning to Sidney from
the west.
1--WE hope you will find this
schedule more useable than those
you have had in the past. We
believe it appropriate to mention
hat the new schedule involves
an early morning flight mo. $50
rom Williston to Billings, which
will operate through Wolf Point.
This new flight No. 35 is merely
/ part of old flight No. 33, which
will now operate late in the eve
ling only from Bismarck to Will
iston and remain overnight. The
tops at Sidney and Wolf Point,
Is usual, were dictated to a great
by the severe routing linn
tations on crews and equipment
hat we have had to live with on
he Williston routes, all along.
We sincerely hope this schedule
mbodies Improvements for ev-
ryone, and we believe it does"
