Gave Fine Talk
At Lewes, Del.

pitfalls Was Well Receiv-
ed At Meeting.

DR.. M A. Tarumianz, superinten-
dent of our state mental hospitals,
addressed the Lewes Chamber of
Commerce and guests for an hour
and half, at dinner meeting on
Mental Health, April II, at the
Lewes School cafeteria.
The overall theme of this talk
was his concern with the apathy of
the general public towards mental
illness. He cited the undesirable
conditions existing in Delaware and
in Sussex County, particularly due
70 lack of interest and sufficient
funds, stressing the need for re-
search and psychiatrists in lower
Delaware. DR.. Tarumianz was vehe-
ment regarding the lack of cooper

Sussex County He feels there is
great need to establish support
here for the benefit of all. He said

function as we should" He also
scored the legislative group who
would rescind appropriations for
the care of the mentally ill.
On a less severe note however, DR..
Tarumianz commended those at
tending the meeting for their in

this problem of such gigantic pro-
portions. Bringing to light the fact
that 10000 people now in Delaware
would suffer some type of mental
