VSC
Conditions During Tenure
Conditions at Rusk State
Hospital during the tenure
of the late Dr. Charles W.
Castner were briefly
reviewed during a meeting
of the facility's Volunteer
Services Council Thursday.
Bill Draper, business
manager, joined the
hospital staff in 1953 and he
spoke with first hand
knowledge of the over-
crowded situation in that
era.
"In 1953 there were no
volunteer hours on the
books, to my knowledge,"
said Draper. It was not un-
til the following year that a
statewide move was laun-
ched to create volunteer
councils.
Said Draper, "Sen. Sear-
cy Bracedwell had told us
that the state can't provide
for all of your needs. You
should look for outside
help." It was this situation
which gave rise to the
organization of VSC's
throughout Texas.
Draper said that during
this time period there were
six wards in the present
administration building.
"We had a total of 2,700
patients, approximagely,
and many of them selpt on
the floor," said the
speaker.
He recalled that on one
ward which had 128 patien-
ts, 40 mattresses were
stacked in the hall during
the day and at night they
were spread out for patient
sleeping.
"So many of those
patients had no family, no
friends and Christmas that
year looked bleak," he
said. "We took $900 from a
special patient fund and
Dr. Castner went to a
wholesale firm in Kilgore
where he secured 900 gifts
for the patients," stated
Draper, "The next year the
VSC had been started and
that Christmas was as dif-
ferent as day and night
from the one before."
In praising the group for
its accomplishments of'
service to the hospital,
Draper said, "The Volun-
teer Council has come fur-
ther than dreamed,
probably beyond Dr. Cast-
ner's expectations."
Mrs. Marge Dibert,
chairman, presided at the
luncheon meeting at the
hospital. Special guests
were Dr. David Wade,
former RSH superinten-
dent; W.W. Beaver,
superintendent of Lufkin
State School; Mr. and Mrs.
George Hall of Tyler and
Dr. Gus Levine, former
member of the RSH staff.
A brief business meeting
was also held.
