The property committee re- ported that a shade screen which had been installed on one classroom has done a good job and recommended that similar screens be purchased for a number of other rooms. The screens will replace awn- ings which were destroyed by high winds early in the year. Principal Madill said the inspector suggested that a half partition should be put in the reference area of the library. The board agreed to have the partition built. The board also ordered that a $5.00 deposit be made on grant books loaned to Grade XI and XII students. The deposit will be returnable at the end of the year. In the same regard Mr. Madill requested permis- sion to buy text books from stu-e dents, which will come under grant this fall. He said this would save money as the grants Mrs. Jack Reavie Is Appointed to Grand Chapter On Tuesday evening of last week Huron Chapter No. 89 Order of the Eastern Star was honored by the visit of the As- sociate Grand Matron of Ont- ario, Mrs. Hector Little of Beamsville and the Associate Grand Patron, Gordon Murray of Woodstock.

Complete Puns For CWL Supper At the June meeting of the Wingham Catholic Women's League plans were made for the turkey and ham supper which will be served at the garden party next Wednesday. Members decided to provide one year free membership to all brides and new -comers to the parish. An interesting report on the highlights of the 45th Diocesan Convention, held in Chatham in May, was given by Mrs. Michael Willie. Miss Margaret Keogh then gave a slide -illustrated talk on the religious and social work being carried out by the Social League of Catholic Women on the island of Dominica, West Indies. Visitors Help Mental Patients Continued from Page One and where there is full investi- gation of the need for more prolonged treatment, In the latter case the action is never taken unless at the re- quest of relatives. Many safe- guards are provided to assure that no patient is kept longer than necessary. Mr. Hall referred to the pleasant physical surroundings in the Goderich hospital --the pretty paintings, pleasant color sehemes and sun -filled rooms. All, he said, are designed to aid the patient along the road to recovery. Similarly, the visitor may be impressed by the unhurried pace of the nur- ses, who spend a considerable part of their time helping pa- tients with hobbies or games. Again, this is a part of the therapy which proves most ef- fective. Some other Ontario I-iospi- tals are badly overcrowded, but these conditions are a matter of economic limitations. The department is only allotted so much money a year for con- struction. He posed the ques- tion, " Would you be prepared to have sales tax increased to five or six per cent in order to provide more hospital space?" Referring to the more com- PERSO\AL \OTES --Mrs. Margaret Herd of Clinton is spending a couple of weeks with Miss Marguerite Johns. --Mr. and Mrs, Lloyd Mont- gomery attended the wedding of Donald McDermott and Miss Diane Steffen on Saturday, in St.John's Lutheran Church in Waterloo.

Admissions are up, but so are discharges. Seventy per cent of those admitted to Ontario Hos- pitals are discharged, some after only short periods of treatment. The speaker expressed the opinion that we are fortunate to have a new mental hospital in this area, for it is his belief that few more such institutions will be built, 14e is of the opinion the psychiatric wings in the larger general hospitals will look after the needs of the future. In this way, he said, the stigma of the mental hos- pital would be removed and the patient would be kept clos- er to home and family. MEAGRE RESEARCH In the field of research, said Mr. Hall, Canada is woefully behind. The total fund for this purpose is only $800,000 a year --about the same amount Canadians spend on alcohol in a week. He mentioned particularly what can be done to help a discharged patient back to nor- mal life and activity. Very often the former patient feels that he or she is an object of pity because of treatment for mental illness. The speaker urged that every possible member of the community take the first step forward to make the person who has been under treatment feel at home and welcome. He urged that any rebuff or insults suffered should be total- ly disregarded if the patient is to be rehabilitated. Mental illness is responsible for an annual loss of $300 mil- lions to Canadians in earning power alone, not to mention the high cost of treatment. Seventy-five thousand Cana- dians suffer from mental dis- orders of one kind or another. SOCIAL WORK Mr. Hall's work is first in- volved at the time of a patient's admission, when family and background must be investigat- ed to find out where and what treatment is feasible. Again, the social worker maintains contact with family and friends in the home com- munity while the patient is in hospital. After discharge the social worker assumes much of the responsibility for getting the patient back into the patterns of useful living. Miss Doris Fells expressed thanks to Mr. Hall and present- ed him with a gift in apprecia- tion. She spoke of the excel- lent work both he and the hos- pital are doing in this area. Following his address Mr. Hall answered several questions posed by Auxiliary members.
