Once I climbed from the cellar shed on to the kitchen. And from there I crawled on up to the top of the house. I went to the very end of the comb, held on to the lightn ing rod, and looked down on the old apple tree that grew just out of the parlor window. A mock ing bird flew from it, and I wished so that I could do that too. But it made me dizzy and I had to crawl back down. I contemplated jumping from the kitchen roof, which was lower. But my heart failed me there too. From there I descended to the cellar shed. That looked more reasonable. It was about 6 feet high. I got up my nerve, spread my arms like wings, and step ped off. It seemed like that ground flew up and hit m'e. But it didn’t hurt. Then I looked at the well shed. In height, it was sort of between the cellar and the kitchen, some 10 to 12 feet high. But after 1 got up there, it looked like a far way to the ground. I figured I needed some help for that. So I got a sheet off the clothes line there, sort of tied it to my feet and held two of the other corners in my hands. I had seen flying squirrels jump from high trees that way. Soon I had my nerve up for my first flight on wings. Off I wept. The sheet did little if any good at all. My, how that ground did come up and hit me! I’d have been all right though but for the fact that my foot hit a rock about the size of an egg. That turned my ankle. And with the great im pact, it really hurt it. I was in bed for several days from that. I thought of that sometime ago when I flew to the West Coast between dinner and supper one day. And then I was a lot higher even than on top of the house. For we were flying the 3-mile level west that afternoon. SIMS RECEIVES PROMOTION Otis Sims, Jr., has been pro moted to private first class while serving in Germany with the 1st Infantry Division.

L Or».nTin«, South C»roHn» Fire! That cry strikes terror around an over-crowded, dilapidat ed mental hospital. But ’recent ly I saw a fire which wa^ a delight to behold. An enlightened sup erintendent called for every cami sole (straitjacket to us) to be placed on the front lawn where a bonfire transformed them into ashes. Straitjackets represent the last vestiges of the Dark Ages attitude toward mental illness, where re straint was the primary method of control and the goal was "cus tody” rather than treatment. With the aid of state hospitals and Na tional Association for Mental Health, in searching for these ancient restraints, has collected some grim objects Including mass ive brass cuffs, leg irons, ankle chains, heavy manacles, torturous “muffs,” and even parts of Iron cages. Traditionally a bell has been used to rally and challenge people in times of -danger. These re-' straints are to be sfhelted . and cast into a giant bell as a symbol of the mental health crusade. It will be rung in public ceremonies and replicas used throughout the nation in declaring Mental Health Week May 3-9 and in launching the Mental Health Fund Drive. “Ring the bell for mental health” is the new motto in the battle against America's number one health problem. Who is affected by mental ill-, ness? There’s a little girl down the street who has acted strange ly for weeks—sullen, withdrawn, unhappy. The family doesn’t know what to do; they don’t even real ize she is sick because the sick ness is in her feelings, her think ing, her emotions. There is a man around the corner—a swell fellow when sober, only seldom is he sober. The family doesn’t under stand, nor does be understand him self or why he drinks. Yes, the 650,000 patients in mental hospitals, as many as for all other illnesses combined, re present only the beginning of the problem. At the present rate, one out of every twelve children born each year will need to go to a mental hospital some day be cause of a severe mental illness. There are nine million people in America who are mentally sick or emotionally perturbed. ATTENDS HOSPITAL SERVICE PLAN Claude Weeks, Mrs. James Brown and Miss Katherine Hawk ins, members of the Newberry Memorial Hospital staff, attended the South Carolina Hospital Ser vice Plan meeting which was held at the Wade Hampton hotel in Columbia last Thursday. , Grover Cleveland was the only man to be re-elected President of the United States alter bein^ defeated for re-eleciioa ,at the end of his first term.

SINCLAIR iSH GASOLINE Medical doctors report one of every two patients who come to them is suffering from an ill ness connected with a mental, or emotional disorder, as is the case of one out of every three admit ted to a general hospital. Other types of emotional disturbances are seen in delinquency, sexual deviations, absenteeism, “nervous ness,” and marriage problems. The mental ill person cannot cure himself, no matter how he tries, but in most cases mental ill ness responds to early treatment more readily than do physical ill nesses. Eighty-five percent of all cases can be treated successfully. Early guidance in the home and school can prevent many distur bances. But try to find such treat ment or guidance in South Carolina, with a few notable exceptions! The state has only three mental clinics (with a fourth to open soon), with only part-time psy chiatric service at each, and only a handful of psychiatrists in pri vate practice. The state hospital with its 5400 patients is so under staffed that one doctor is assigned daily the care of more than 440 patients. Even if this staff work ed “around the clock” these patients could not be given ade quate treatment. We need more adequate legis lative appropriations to improve care and treatment and expand community service. On the other hand, research into the causes and treatment of mental illness, and education In mental hygiene de pend largely upon the $5,000,000 national goal in voluntary contri butions. Since mental health con cerns every family, you have a stake in the crusade. Mail contri butions to “Mental Health,” in care of your local postmaster, or, to Mental Health Foundation 1508 Lady Street, Columbia. As the national association points out, mental illness is a coin with two faces. One side is de spair: the despair the mental pati ent feels in an antiquated, under staffed hospital; the despair the troubled person knows when he wonders where to turn for help. But turn the coin over. The other side is hope: the hope of the mental patient when he finds him self in friendly, attractive sur roundings ; the hope of the anx ious person when he discovers as sistance. While finding your way of ob serving Mental Health Week, re member May 3-10 is also National Family Week. This is particular ly appropriate since there is such a close relationship between fam ily life and mental health. Next week’s column will be devoted to the family. City Filling Station Strother C.
