King Raises thousands For The
Cause But His Own Income
Is Small; Turned Down 1000

Atlanta (ANP) - There is per-
haps no minister in the United
States whose speaking engage
ments and writings bring in more
money than DR.. Martin Luther
King, Jr., highly trained preacher
of the gospel who doesn't even
have a pulpit of his own.
On the other hand there are few
who have less personal. income
than Martin Luther King, Jr.
There have been rumors and in
situations that this Gandhi-type
leader has been using his unique
position in America to amass a
personal fortune.
Such accusations have no merit,
his friends and associates know,
but the 33-year-old minister adj
mits that these reports and ru-
mors annoy him considerably.
IT never hide my true financial
condition." King told reporter Bob
Considine recently during an in
terView.
my work as president Of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference is on a volunteer basis.
My main income is what I am
paid by my church, $4,000 a year.
I took a $2,O0O-a-year cut so that
I could be closer to this office.
I don't receive a penny in salary
from this group" the cleric point
ed out.
Last year the board of direc-
tors voted me a $4,000 gift without
my knowledge. I turned it down" "
he added.
my lectures and occasional
m e a zine articles bring me
another three or four thousand
dollars a year. 7 turn all such roy
alities over to the work Of the
Conference" King explained.
The SCLC, headed by King since
its organization in 1857, has mush-
roomed in growth. Its budget in
1860 was 100000, all from con-
tributions and not tax-deductible.

Section Fence
Gives Privacy

Are you one of those families
that owns a home where it is al
most impossible to have privacy?
A corner lot with the house right
against the sidewalk, a house
jammed right up against the
neighbours house, or a house were
passing headlights shine right into
your windows?
This may help you solve your
problem, as one landscape archi-
tect helped a western family.
You can use a screening fence
which will shut out the view Of
passers-by but which can be so
designed that you won't have the
feeling of living behind a wall.
After a warm bath, pat your
self dry with a clean, fluffy towel.
Then puff" on bath powder gen.

to make clothing slide on easier,
and to keep lingerie straps or

H1cHL1cHrs OF PROGRESS IN MENTAL HEALTH

HIGHLIGHTS OF In MENTAL HEALTH
hnAEASE Of the The MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION
Today, research in the field OF mental health and
mental illness is extremely diverse. Biological, psyche
loglcal and sociological studies are being conducted IN a
broad multldiscipllnary approach to the numerous diff
ficult and unsolved problems. Many of these studies
bear an obvious relation to the painstaking task of pick
ing away at the tangled threads Of the etriology of men
tai illness.
Other studies are more or less directly aimed at i'm
proved methods of treatment and rehabilitation OF the
mentally i'll. But there are many Investigations IN the
tlelo OF mental health which, on the surface, have no
apparent link to the attack on mental illness. These are
the Investigations at the more basic level, which attempt
eventually to throw new light on the dlsordered mind
10 Understand MIND, it is essential to understand the
many complex inter-relationships Of the mind with its
environment Of the human body and the exterior psyche
log1caI ana sociological environment of the inter-personal
world and society. For this reason, much OF the research
in the field OF mental health is basic research, both at the
biological and psychological levels, and occasionally Sc
veraI steps removed from the core problems OF emotion
al disorders. These studies seek to find answers from dis
parate sources which will fit together to make a tool
WIN which to unlock some of the reconcile mysteries
of mental illness.
Community organizations such as the ST. Croix Men
tai Health Association and others in the Caribbean and
world wide are indications and evidence that the concern
for the cure and prevention of mental health is becoming
commonplace and necessary if we are to survive the
stresses and strains Of this p~erplexed world. There IS con
crete evidence from the 3rd Caribbean Conference and
