Change For Better--
Or For Worse?
The new trend in mental health care seems to be
toward the establishment of community clinics and
at-home care of mental health patients. Should this
trend continue, it is likely that the role of institutions
will be diminshed, if not altogether abolished. If this
move proves to be in the best interest of Texas mental
health patients, their families and society in general,
then legislators, mental health administrators and
citizens will eventually see to it that necessary revisions
in the present system are enacted. Such a move,
however, should be taken with great caution over an
extended period of time, so that adequate alternate
facilities can be instituted and old facilities altered to a
more useful role.
One need not look far to note the perils of too hasty
jumps toward mental health reform. Attempts at an
instantaneous change from institutionalized care to
community core in California has caused havoc within
the state's mental health system. California will spend
yeors in recuperation from the chaos created because
progressive-minded people failed to realize that such
drastic alterations take time and each step forward
must be carefully supported by undergirding measures.
Texas' new Commissioner of Mental Health and
Mental Retardation, Dr. Kenneth Gaver, has made some
assuring statements that MH-MR administrators will
exercise extreme caution in instigating any serious
alterations in the present operation of mental health
facilities. Texas has been long in building her mental
health resources to the present state and in funding
institutional facilities for the retarded and mentally
handicapped. New buildings and innovative therapeutic
centers such as the RSH Wilderness Campsite represent
long hours of planning and crusading by hundreds of
MH'MR administrators and volunteers. To risk losing
what years of toil has brought us by some quick turn of
the imagination would be foolish indeed. We are,
thereWe, grateful when our highest officials in mental
health care assure us that they are approaching new
trends with vigilence and deliberation. Although he has
spoken of a "fundamental commitment" to a move
toward community care of the mentally handicapped,
Dr. Gaver has called wholesale abandonment of
institutions "foolish." He has indicated a desire to
proceed cautiously in experimenting with unproven
methods of mental health care.
Poet Alfred Tennyson recognized the value of
progress when he wrote, "The old order changeth,
yielding place to new..." We, too, recognize the value of
change. We also support the attitude that the "old"
way should not be removed until we are sure we have
found a better way.
Natural
Laws Prevail
The moment something becomes scarce, people want
more of it. This truism of human behavior has been
demonstrated in some surprising areas lately. Even
those colorful squares of paper known as trading stamps
have been in short supply as gas-short service stations
have cut back efforts to attract customers, and
supermarkets have dropped stamp giving in place of
other business promotional practices such as
discounting. This finding of an authoritative nationwide
survey shows that, ironically, more people like trading
stamps than actually save them.
As one press report comments, "The survey showed an
expected decline in the number of households that
saved stamps-down to 64 percent in 1973 from 70
percent the year before. But there was an unexpected
rise in the number of people who said they liked
stamps--up to 71 percent from 66 percent in 1972." In
commenting on the rise in the numbers of people
expressing a liking for trading stamps, the company
making the survey said, "It may be part of human
nature that something that is readily available is taken
for granted, but as it becomes more difficult to obtain it
receives greater appreciation."
It is almost inevitable that, in the light of the facts of
public desire for trading stamps, prophets of doom for
trading stamp companies will sooner or later have to eat
their words. If American families want trading stamps,
promotion policies of industries and companies will tend
to emphasize stamp-giving programs. No private
enterprise knowingly violates the natural laws of the
marketplace. Those natural laws are the consumers'
greatest protection. They are superior to the wisest
| man-made laws ever devised.

We do not know whether Lion
President Billv had permission
to be absent or not. Our

Doug Hirsh and Arnold C.
Swanson - Mr. Swanson from
Rochester. Minn. Our program
was a film "In You Hands''
shown by Mr Charles Pruitt.
This concerned the dreaded
disease of Cystic Fibrosis. This
is a disease of the lungs and the
doctors must know at all times
how lungs are working because
there is always the threat ot
infection. Day after day the
children must use masks in
order to breath and stay alive
Children are able to go to
school in many cases and even
in the hospitals they must have
play periods Their problem is
to get the "junk" out of their
lungs and that means giving
them something to make them
cough it up. Symptoms consist
of wheezing, coughing every
day. having pneumonia, ex-
cessive appetite but no weight
gain, etc This film showed one
mother with three children, all
with this disease They were of
a moderate income family and
she worked all night, worked
with the children during the
day until her husband came
home from work and then slept
for a little while and back to
work And then sometimes we
complain. Research is adding
to the length of life each year.
The doctors think that a child
should be told about his
condition all that he can
understand as time goes along.
And the parents - they just
have to hang on to hope -
without that they cannot
survive. And the child - must
learn how to live with it.
Webster's Dictionary gives
the following definition "an
hereditary disease that
appears usually in early
childhood, involves general-
ized disorder of exocrine
glands, and is esp. be
deficiency of pancreatic en-
zymes. respiratory, symp-
toms. and excessive loss of salt
in the sweat''. Hopefully a cure
will be found in the near future.

The Rusk Evening Lions
Club met July 24 at the New
Southern Motor Hotel. Guests
attending this regular meeting
from the Noon Lions Club were
Lions Billy Watson, Leon
Pledger, Ken Peloquin and
Raymond Cooper. In addition,
all but two regular members
were in attendance. Special
guest for the evening was Lion
Perry Johnson, District Gov-
ernor from Lufkin, who
biought the program. Lion
Raymond Cooper introduced
Lion Perry who, in turn,
outlined goals and objectives
for the coming year in District
IIS-1.
During the business portion
of the meeting preparations
were made to re-activate our
local boy scout troup in
September. More publicity on
this will come at a later date.
Plans were also made to have a
"Swap-N-Trade" night during
our next regular meeting.
Each member is to bring some
item of value to trade or sell.
Should be alot of fun especially
if Lion Tom Parsons brings
that chicken that lays blue
eggs. Tailtwister Dan McNair
should have a busy night.
We are very fortunate this
year in having the leadership
of Lion Bill Hughes as he
serves in the presidency of our
club. Our obligation is to
support Lion Bill in every way
possible. All members plan to
be at the next meeting on
August 7 at the New Southern.
A good time is in store for all.

the outrages of Bandit and
Outlaws, the remaining units
of the National Guard received
the welcome news that they
were to go home and disband,
but on the heels of that order
came another, holding them in
the Federal service to meet a
far greater emergency. With
characteristic Patriotism the
guard accepted the disappoint-
ment and made ready for the
crisis becoming daily more
apparent as the Imperial
German Government violated
one right after another and
finally startled the world by
announcing its intentions of
sinking without warning all
allied or neutral shippings. On
April 6th 1917. Congress
answered the challenge by
declaring War. The Conscrip-
tion Act was passed on May
17th and on June 5th more than
ten million young men regis-
tered for military service. But
it was to the Guard the
Government turned in the
emergency for quick and
effective action. On April 14th
the War Department author-
ized the expansion of the Guard
and under this authority its
strength has increased by
voluntary enlistment from a
bare 125,000 to more than
400,000. At this date, Septem-
ber 1st, the Guard is fast being
mobilized in Southern Camps,
where it will be properly
trained and equipped for
service n France. It is safe to
say that when the allied armies
march down the Unter den
Linden in Berlin, a regiment
from the National Guard of the
United States of America will
be among those leading the
way."

The Volunteer View
By: Ms. Donna Sherman
Assistant Coordinator of Volunteer Services
Rusk State Hospital
P. O. Box 318
68:1-5481 ext. 451
Searching for some information that only could be
found in several back files, I got comfortable the other
day and began reading all sorts of letters, memos, and
other "resource windows" regarding all phases of the
Volunteer Services Office here at Rusk State Hospital.
Fascinating! One thing that really caught my fancy
and my interest was the general feeling about what
volunteerism was. is, and from what I gather from
these and other sources, will be.
In the recent past, perhaps 20 years ago when
volunteers first began to be noticed as persons giving
their time, effort, money, and donations of all sorts
without financial return, volunteers were expected to
perform only auxiliary functions, such as throwing
birthday and Christmas parties or helping with certain
recreational activities, both functions that the patient
or resident might not experience were it not for that
volunteer. Today volunteerism is expanding. It
includes those auxiliary functions, activities that the
patients could not live as happily without. Make no
mistake. But it is more now and it will include even
more jobs in the future. Twenty years or so ago a
volunteer was not considered in therapy situations.
Today a volunteer is a professional, trained by the
staff to be just as much of an essential part of the whole
Treatment Team as anyone else. Let me name some of
the volunteer positions that will be opening by
September, 1974:
Sheltered Workshop Assistant
Recreational-Socializational Program Specialist
Educational Therapy Assistant
Leader of Exercise Programs
Group Therapy Assistant
Assistant to Psychologist
Shopping Assistant
Music Therapist
Personal Development Specialist
Adopt-A-Patient Therapist
Nursing Service Assistant
Social Skills Specialist
Art Therapist
Behavioral Technician Assistant (on Retardate
Unit)
See what I mean? Our volunteers expect a lot from
us, and the feeling, being quite mutual, is usually well
satisfied. Come and join us today.
