BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
As a kid, I dreamed of flying.
Not only night dreaming. But
daydreaming too.
Our house had two stories. 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.

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.

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.
