Reeve Syd. Legge was definit- ely opposed to the per diem rate and felt that it would be open to criticism by the man who pays the bill â€" "old man John Public." Councillor Brown also opposed the per diem rate and said. "I think I'm well paid at $950.00 per year.“ to a $15.00 per day rate. to a maximum of $1.250 annually. The matter was brought up by Councillors Fred Counter and Roy Kefier and payment was to have been only for days act- ually worked on town business.

W. L. Hears Work Of Mental Health Group Highland Park By Toby Shore Why are we so complacent concerning mental health when there are 25,000 patients in the Province of Ontario alone suffering from some form of mental illness ?"

He or she must have a genuine interest and open friendly disposition who can be a good friend and neigh- bor and have natural com- munication with his fellow man. Mrs. Townshend-Carter sees much hope for the future of the mental illness patient in Here are the new concepts and approach to mental illness. (1) EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT in mental hospit- ‘815. (2) SHORT TERM TREAT- MENTS in general hospitals. (3) RETURNING TO COM- MUNITY the long hospitalized chronic patients. (4) EN‘LIST INTELLIGENT LAYMEN, such as teachers. lawyers. police eta. 1n recognition of early warn- ing symptoms and (5) a rehabâ€" ilitation program. The work of the White Cross Volunteer is wide in its scope. Among their projects: :0 have beds in local hospitals M as the patient won’t travel so far away and be separated from family; to have a patient with emotional break dOWn treated the same as other patients in hospital; to take chronic pali- ents out of institutions and groups so that with change of environment they may respond to treatment; to have the public educated to accept these patients ifollowing discharge; educlfion Im the background of every community to help the mental health program. New Concept: Their project la a study of schemes for rehabilitation. Dif- ferent group: got together to discuss ways and means for re- habilitation and sparked the settling up of the newly formed Rehabilitation Council for the County of York. This program for the mental health patient sounds very good so far however, there are six homes still without visitors where the patient just puts in his days with no mental stim- ulation or outside contacts. There are 400 patients who need help as out patients. as many who need help ln_hospitals and A scienfific adrvrism‘y commit- tee had been set up under the chairmanship of Dr. A. L.
