contrast sharply with the unaf-

the fungus, 'Gnomonea veveta,'. In
lection is caused by spores of the
fungus which are produced in the
spring and carried by air currents
to young leaves where they cause
infection. Rains favor infection. The
prevalence and the severity of at

Cool Nights, Warm
Days Prevail Here

Cool nights and fairly warm days
have prevailed through most of the
present week in Garrett County.
There was a light rainfall early
Sunday morning but skies cleared
later in the day. Temperatures at
night have dropped to the low
fifties and top forties.
The ground is rather dry, but
thus far crops and gardens do not
seem to have been retarded. There
were predictions that the weekend
would bring showers.

By DOROTHY KICKER

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
A group Of my girl friends and
1 would like to know what you
think Of some Of the recent NOV
les about teen-agerS. We all think
they do q great injustice to PeO-
pie Of our age group. They are
Just about those teen-agers who
have gotten on on the wrong
foot.
Is there any way TO prevent
these movies? They are not only
= bad influence on some teen
ayers, they give some adults the
wrong impression Of our whole
age group. We would like TO know
how to prevent people from think
ing this way and how to do some
thing about stopping the prOduc-
ton Of such movies. klnk you.

Dear P. A. l.:
I agree that most of the movies
about teen-agers do them q great
Injustice. They are based on sem

FTEEN-AGE MAIL
Movies Do Greet Injustice

In the beginning any youngSter
who tries smoking is really defying
his parents, since most parents do
not want their teen-agers to smoke.
They do it for kicks, on a dare or
to keep up with the crowd-not
because of q craving or that they
feel they will almost die" If some
one smokes in their presence. AS
for girls and women smoking in
public places-on the street. in buses
or movies of it is allowed) I think
it shows a lack of good taste. just
as chewing gum in public should
be considered taboo. in my opinion.
Since it seems rather obvious that
you do not intend to stop smoking
I think you should tell your par
ents the truth and do it in front
of them rather than to continue
doing it behind their backs.

what's wrong with smoking at

on the street or in buses and NOV
ies?-A MYSTIFIED SMOKER.
Dear "Mystified Smoker:
In answer to your first question:
I can see no reason why q person
should start smoking at any age
However, doctors say it can be
more harmful to growing youngsters
than to adults. Certainly there
can be no arguing with the fact
that there is nothing beneficial
about smoking.

PAUL.
Dear Paul:
AS difficult as it may be. it seems
the wiseSt thing for you to do is to
keep right on trying to forget this
girl.
If she won't even dance with you
it is obvious she does not want to
renew your old relationship. even
though she is pleasant when you
see her.
So, advise against buying her a
ring. You see. Paul. under the cir
cumStances you describe it would

this girl q valuable ring and she
would be just as wrong to accept 1t.

So. If your buddy wrote such a let

angry with you if you take her out.
You mentioned the possibility Of
his being in a bad mood" If such
were the case. I doubt that he
thinks very much of her, at least
he has little regard for her feelings.
So. my advice is to go ahead and
ask her for a date.

STATE HOSPITAL SCORES ADVANCES
WITH DIRECTOR WICK OVDINC FUSE

duced though admissions have been
increased. This is, he said, due to
three factors: 1. Change in attitude
of the public, viewing the hospital
as a treatment center rather than
custodial center. 2. Increase in out
patient services, follow-up work re-
ducing returnees. 8. Use of tran
QUILTING drugs.
DR.. Wick noted happily a change
in attitude by the legislature.
''There has been a recognition of
the need for building and other fa-
cilities and money has been furn-
ished to provide those needs.
HE ADDED quickly that all re-
uuirements have not been filled.
He has submitted a five-year plan
to the Arizona governing body,
and, so far, 40 per cent of it has
been approved.
The need for additional person
mel has not yet been met. He ex-
plains that cit would be economi-
cal to add more personnel in order
not to have to add more buildings.
It requires people, not only build
ings and equipment, to treat those
who are SICK"
DIR. Wick pointed out that there
are nine physicians at the hospital
for 1000 patients, and said "a ought
to be on hand.
ssFOUR SOCIAL workers do the
Job that actually requires IL. The
occupational therapy department
lists a staff of six but should have
twice that many. The recreational
therapy field should have IL per-
sons, while only one-third that
number are available. The biggest
shortage exists among the gradu-
ate nurses-the hospital lists 20 but
should have 120."
When the hospital was inspected
in 1854 by the American Psychiat-
ric Association, it did not qualify
for accreditation. The shortages
listed then are being used as
"roadmap" to gain accredita-
ton in 1860. DR.. Wick said
very few hospitals meet all re-
uuirements, and therefore the num-
Der that are accredited is small.
EXPERIMENTATION at the hos
pital is not confined to medical
techniques. Carpeting was installed
where some of the patients live,
and it was discovered that it cost
less over a five-year period than
asphalt tile. The comfort OF 1t was
reflected by the attitude OF the
patients.
In the geriatrics. wards rails
were put up. Experimenting is con-
Quoted with cleaning materials,
clothing, and dietary needs.
DR.. Wick is pleased with i'm
proved attitudes and understanding
in the community regarding men
tai illness-but he does not give
credit where credit is due. He him
self, spends a great deal OF time
lecturing and explaining the nos
pital and mental illness.
Looking to the future, the hos.
pital should be an educational and
research center. 1t should be the
hub for training in psychiatry and
associated fields, and feel IN
time this will develop" he de-
clared.

SOVIET URGED
TO END BAN ON
YDDISH BOOKS

VIENNA (JTA) "A memoranda
um asking for the revival of the
publication of Jewish books and
the reinstatement of Jewish cultur-
al institutions in the Soviet Union
has been submitted to the Central
Committee of the Communist Party
in Moscow by the Union of Soviet
Writer'S, 1t was reported here from
Moscow. The memorandum was
signed by top Soviet authors, the
report said.
The memorandum pointed out
that although no Jewish book has
been published in the Soviet Union
since 1949, nevertheless a large
Yiddish literature in manuscript
has developed during the last nine
years in anticipation that publica-
ton of Jewish books would be re-
sumed and in the hope that some
of the manuscripts would be trans
lated and published in Russian be-
fore they were published in Yid-
dish.
The memorandum estimated that
more than 70 Jewish writer's have
finished manuscripts which have
not been printed because publica-
ton of YiddiSh books in the Soviet
Union has been halted.
1.-THE works of Jewish writers
must be published in Yiddish, If
