Mental Bureau
IsUrged Here
Would Unite Work
OF Health Agencies

The District Public Health Ad-
visory Council yesterday recon-
mended the creation of a Bu-
reau of Mental Health and Psy-
chiatric Services.
The new bureau, which would
bring together present mental
health activities under one head,
was proposed some time ago by
Health Director Daniel L. Seek
niger and is being studied by the
District Commissioners.
Under DR.. Seckinger's pro-
posal, the new bureau would be
headed by DR.. Marvin E. Perkins.
now chief of the Psychiatric
Services Division. 1t would
bring together under one au-
thority this division, the Alco-
holic Clinic. the Division of Le-
gal Psychiatric Services, St.
ElizabethS Hospital contracts
ana pSychlatrlc services for
children.
DR.. Seckinger pointed out that
DR.. Perkins is a trained PSYCHE
artist who recently completed a
course in public health admins
tration. Prior to entering the
District Health Department, DR..
Perkins served as an Army med
ical officer for seven years.
The health director told the
nine-member advisory group the
reorganization would not require
additional funds Immediately,
but that creation of the bureau
probably would mean an addi-
tional outlay in future budgets.
Three new members attended
the meeting. They were DR..
Montgomery Blair, jr., vice chair
man; Mrs. Edward Morris and
Mark Winkler. They succeed Mai.
IOmer w. Clark. DR.. Hugh H. Hus-
sey and Mrs. Henry A. Bartlett.

'Outdoted' Work Laws
Hit by Youth Council

The Commissioners Youth
Council has launched an effort
to end what Chairman G..
Rowland Shaw describes as "the
conspiracy against the teen
ager."
Mr.. Shaw said he was referring
to local child labor laws that
have taken the Horatio Alger
characteristics out of American
life and are so outdated it
hurts" The council met last
night.
The problem facing the council
was how to revamp present child
labor regulations in order that
school children under Is could
take part-time or after-school
employment.
Critical of Red Tape
Presenting a report for the
Junior high section of the District
Public Schools, Hugh Smith,
principal of jefferson Junior
High School. insisted red tape is
hindering students in earning
spending money.
Many are the same students,
he said. that get into trouble as
Juvenile delinquents because they
are denied employment by
archaic regulations.
He pointed out that some
children are put to a lot of
trouble and embarrassment by
not being able to supply birth
certificates. Mr.. Smith said amy
necessary information on such
children was readily obtainable
at the school and could substitute
for the formal birth certificate.
He also declared present regu-
lations will permit students to
get a license to vend, but not to
shine shoes.
Also, because of difficulty OBJ
tanning work permits many stu
dents who could pick up spend

At the same time he deplored
the lack of objectivity in most
U. N. discussions and said there

nations to engage in bloc voting

Sir Percy expressed particular
concern over the U. MS failure

OF course, that store on

And the one on Seventeenth

vertising its annual lawful
lot of CHRISTMAS CARDS"
The Delmar poultry raiSers,
too, have been fattening the
festive bird for the festive
board. For days the mail has
been flooded with Christmas
card announcements.
But it's official now. The
Post Office, that harbinger of
holidays, has stepped in, be-
fore all the leaves have turned
brown, urging its postmasters
to get busy.
1t has put out IS pages of
fine-print instructions on how
to get ready for the big rush.
And the current Postal Service
News, its entire issue devoted
to Christmas mail, indicates
right on the first page why all
this preparation is necessary.

"a carrier starting on his

brand-new uniform-and his
