CAN AGED MENTAL
PATIENTS BE
HELPED?
Can old people in mental
hospitals be helped back to
a more independent life and
to useful work?
Can they ever be brought
to the point at which they can
leave the hospital?
For too long the answer
has been no. Great progress
has been made in rehabili-
tating other mentally ill and
in reducing the numbers of
patients residing in state
mental hospitals.
But the older people have
not benefit ted much. It has

Dear Ann,
An engagement ring is not
a wedding ring. IPs only a
preamble to the final decis-
ion. That’s the whole idea of
an engagement, to have time
to find out if marriage is re-

going overseas is certainly
giving you both the neces-
sary time in which to decide.
For your own peace of
mind, I would, if I were you,
see your college psycholo-
gist or your county or city
board of health. There is no
fee involved there. If the idea
upsets your parents, they
needn’t know until you and
your counselor decide dif-

LIKES OLDER BOY
Dear Loretta,
I like a boy who is a year '
older than I am. When I’m
around him, I can’t think of
what to say. I don’t see him
except at ball games and at
school, I would like him to
sit by me. All the boys and
girls in his class tease him
all the time, and me, too.

Polaris is called the North

The Reader’s Digest Asso-
ciation is presenting these
awards to senior high sc-
hools throughout the United
States to the highest honor
student of the graduating
class.
The award to Mr. Mikus,
who is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. John K. Mikus of Rt.
2, Fayetteville, was made
possible through the coope-
ration of Mr. Odstrcil and his
teaching staff. They selec-

mental institution to vege-
tate for the rest uftbeir lives
and receive only custodial
care.
Now, however, it has been
shown that even long-time,
chronic patients in forgotten
"back wards” can be helped.
This has been achieved, on an
experimental basis, in a
large state hospital.
In the trial program, a
ward was set up as a shel-
tered workshop where pati-
ents would do useful wort-
make small auto parts, pack-
age chrome auto letters, roll
bandages, make gift items
for sale. Nothing was done
merely to “kill time.”
Everyone was paid for his
work and kept and managed
his. money.
Meantime, many changes
were also made to their liv-
ing quarters.
Full-length mirrors were
put up, as were calendars and
wall clocks. Doors were pa-
inted bright colors. Long-
locked doors were unlocked
and left that way. Furniture
was replaced with attractive,
non-hospital furniture.
The dining room’s long
tables were replaced with
small tables; and generally
living for the aged patients
became less and less instit-
utionalized.
They were allowed and en-
couraged to wear regular
clothes instead of hospital
garb. Nurses and other staff
wore street clothes, too. Men
were given free access to
shaving materials, including
razors. Women had a place to
wash and dry their hair; and
they could go to the beauty
parlor as well.
There was a remarkable
change in the old people from
a sleepy, sitting-down, dull
existence to a busy day of li-
ving.

shop,” said one patient, “I’d
go crazy without it.”

Dear Loretta,
I have wanted and needed
to write to you for a long
time. I thought my problem
would get better by now, but
it seems a lot worse.
I will be 19 this summer
and am a freshman to col-
lege, working part-time,
also. My boy friend is to the
service and will be home soon
for his leave before going to
Vietnam. My problem is: I
don’t know who I am and what
I really want in life. I change
my mind every day. College
and work don’t seem to sat-
isfy me. My boy friend wants
to give me my engagement
ring on his next leave before
going overseas. Loretta, I
love him and want the ring,
but I know I’m not ready for
marriage although we could-
n’t get married until he is
out of the service. One day
I think I’m ready, the next day
I'm not sure.
When I’m around others I
can’t act myself because I
don’t know who I am or how
I should act. I don’t think it
would be fair to take the en-
gagement ring in my condi-
tion. My boy friend is a ma-
ture minded person and I
think he deserves the same
to return. I know I am em-
otionally unstable and need
and want to see a psychia-
.trist, but my parents Would
' laugh in disbelief, and could-
audd it anyway. My mo- =y
ther would sly I’m being silly
and stupid as usual, I know
she’s right, but I don’t know
what to do about it. I have
no one close to talk to and
would appreciate your help
as soon as possible.

In the afternoon during the
second general session.
State Degrees of Achieve-
ment were conferred. This
was the main event of the
day.
Friday night, called “Fun
Night,” everyone enjoyed the
group singing. Songs such as
“Which Way America,”
“FHAer’s, It’s ALL UP TO
YOU,” and “Let There Be
Peace on Earth” were sung,
Saturday morningthe third
general session convened.
This was a business meet-
ing especially for the voting
delegates. Colette Mayer

During the meeting, of- •
cers for 1969-70 were instal-
led. The state president for ■

Other activities which the
