MENTAL HEALTH WEEK
State Hospital Schedules
Open House Here Next Week
Open house will be held May
2-6 at Abilene State Hospital ia
connection with the institution’s ob-
servance of Mental Health and Na-
tional Hospital Week
This was announced by William
T. Lawler, director of education
and rehabilitative therapies at the
hospital.
Tours will be conducted through
the hospital all day Sunday and
again on Saturday, May 8, be said.
Tours will be held at 9 a.m. and
2 p.m. May 3-7, he said
Lawler said one million people
receive treatment in psychiatric
hospitals annually in the United
States. There are 250,000 new ad-
missions and 100,000 re-admissions
annually, he said.
At all times, psychiatric hospit-
als contain 650,000 patients, as
well as 120,000 mootal deficients
and 20,000 epileptics, he said.
9 Million Suffer
This is only 10 per cent of the
patients needing treatment. Law-
ler said, adding that nine million
people in the U. S. today suffer
from mental illness or personality
disturbances of some type. This
is 6 per cent, or 1 out of every 16
people, he said.
Many improvements have been
a ■ made in the Abilene State Hospital
H-SU Junior Named in recent years, Lawler said.
II JUIliUl NgmCO Contributions for further improve-
ments are being accepted by the
Abilene State Hospital Auxiliary,
Box 451, Abilene, he said.
Slate BSU Proxy;
Convention Set Here
The 1953-54 president of the Bap-
tist Student Union at Hardin-Sim-
mons University has been named
president of the state BSU organ-
ization.
He is Lonnie Kliever, H-SU jun-
ior from Fort Worth. He was
elected during a state BSU spring
planning conference at Latham
Springs Baptist Encampment near
Waco last Friday and Saturday.
The 1954 Texas BSU convention
is scheduled to be held at the
First Baptist Church in Abilene,
with H-SU serving as host school.
The convention will be held here
Oct. 15-17. Estimated attendance
is 2,500 to 3,000 people.
The new president of the H-SU
religious group for 1964-55 is Ken-
neth Wright, junior from Midland.
About 35 H-SU students attended
the recent BSU parley. Kliever
and Truett Sheriff, H-SU religious
life director, participated in a
conference program. Kliever dis-
cussed the background of BSU.
Sheriff led a seminar on BSU
work on Baptist colleges and uni-
versity campuses.
Kliever is a ministerial student.
He was elected by a state BSU
committee which was named dur-
ing the 1953 BSU convention last
fall in San Antonio. Both he and
Wright will assume their new
offices immediately.
Sheriff said Kliever was asked
to accompany the state BSU
choir on a two-week tour to Glor-
ieta, N. M., during the summer.
The tour will include an appear-
ance at University Baptist Church
in Abilene, at a date to be an-
nounced later.
The newest project being spon-
sored by volunteers and relatives
at the Abilene hospital is placement
of television sets in wards. Lawler
said.
Sixteen of the 36 wards now have
television sets, he said.
TV Benefits
Lawler had this to say about the
television project:
“As you know, we are deeply
concerned about the personal wel-
fare and happiness of our patients.
We know of nothing else that is as
entertaining and restful to those
patients as watching television, es-
pecially during bad weather when
outside activities are impossible.
“Many of our patients are un-
able to attend other forms of en-
tertainment. The patients who have
had the privilege of watching tele-
vision have been thrilled beyond
expression.
' This convinces us that noth-
ing we can do at the present time
will mean as much to their happi-
ness as television sets in the wards.
On behalf of the patients and en-
tire staff of the hospital, I wish
to express our gratitude to every
individual and group who has help-
ed in the program so far, and
urge others to help us complete
this program.”

Stop Taking
Harsh Drugs for
Constipation
Avoid Intestinal Upset! Get Relief This
Gentle Vegetable Laxative Way!
For constipation, never take harsh drugs.
They cause brutal cramps and griping,
disrupt normal bowel action, make re-
peated doses seem needed.
When you are temporarily consti-
pated, get sure but gentle relief—without
salts, without harsh drugs. Take Dr.
Caldwell's Senna Laxative contained in
Syrup Pepsin. The extract of Senna in
Dr. Caldwell’s is one of the finest natural

JARD FOR NEW MERCURY!
New 161-horsepower Mercury with ball-joint front wheel suspension
gets top marks for performance, efficiency, economy and handling ease
"HOT AS STRAIGHT
TABASCO ON-THE-ROCKS”
Tom McCahill MECHANIX ILLUSTRATED
"The place where Mercury really shines
this year, aside from its speed-over-the-
ground performance, is in its handling
and roadability . . . what a difference
ball-joint suspension makes!
"The guy who buys a ’54 Merc will
be getting a really new car, not a
warmed-over old one. Some of Merc’s
competitors are . . . overdue for a
change. When these changes come, the
buyer of these competitors will be as
out-of-date as an Indian-head penny.”
"161-HP PUSH, BUT DRINKS
NO MORE GAS THAN BEFORE”
Wilbur Shaw POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY
"Three years ago a Mercury engineer
told us that the men in his department
would never be satisfied until they de-
signed an engine that ate up a lot less
of its own power than the ones then
on the production line. Well, they've
done it!
"When 1 drove the car on the ever-
green-screened test track in Dearborn,
Mich., and again on the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, 1 was struck by the
smoothness of the power pickup.”
"THIS CAR IS A KNOCKOUTI
...AND REAL EASY TO DRIVE”
Walt Woron-Don MacDonald
MOTOR TREND
"You’ll like the 1954 Mercury, if you
like power that’ll make you sit back in
your seat when you stomp the throttle.
"If there is no other reason for the
increase in horsepower (now 161) the
added acceleration for passing is
enough. ■
"Lincoln-type ball-and-socket joints
eliminate familiar kingpin, reduce much
front end vibration, and cut grease
fittings from 16 to four.”
"EXCEPT FOR LINCOLN-THERE IS
PROBABLY NOT A SINGLE PAS-
SENGER CAR ENGINE THAT CAN
COME UP TO ITS STANDARD"
Griff Bergeson CARS
"The intake manifold on the new
Mercury is definitely one of 1954‛s
engineering highlights. No other manu-
facturer has produced such a logically
correct version.
"One of the best engineered power
plants in the industry, regardless of
price.... May prove to be the last word
in postwar passenger car engines.”
