TO THE EDITOR
WORKING AT a State Institu
tion and depending on the de
cisions of the State Legislature
for the maintenance and fur
therance of a program, we are
frequently handicapped by lack
of interest and cooperation on
the part of those who are re
sponsible for conditions under
which we are working. This is
understandable, but such con
ditions do not always contri
bute to the bestinterestofthose
who are to be served. How
ever, a study of those directly
engaged in this work should
present a good picture of what
is actually being done and the
manner in which we strive to
improve programs for the
health and happiness of those
entrusted to our care.
Any human institution is sub
ject to criticism and construc
tive analyses are beneficial to
the servants and the served.
We at the State Hospital realize
our handicaps and shortcom
ings, but to be the center of
criticism and hear so little of
praise or commendation is dis
couraging and unpleasant. The
popular newspapers of our state
have not minced their words in
belittling the conditions at the
hospital and few are they who
even look to other things that
reveal the real work that is be
ing done at the hospital by ded
icated doctors, nurses, minis
ters and personal in every field
of activity. Then when things
quieted down, the whole situa
tion was resurrected by The
Bulletin, WHY? 1 was shocked
when the Editorial "Confusion
Vs Care" appeared in the Bul
letin recently. I feel it was
untimely and its implications
unfair and unjust to all of us; it
must have been written by
someone who never visited the
Hospital to see what wonderful
things are being done for our
patients.
Under normal conditions, I
would not answer the editorial,
but out of respect for the per
sonal of the hospital and in my
intest in the families who have
mothers, fathers, sons or
daughters at the hospital I feel
an obligation to write this crit
icism.
If the writer of the editorial
wished to criticize the condi
tions at the hospital, I feel that
he should have begun with a
consideration of the Department
of Public Health of the Depart
ment of Mental Health, without
speaking about *the confusion
over administrative practices
at Milledgeville State Hospital'.
It would also be interesting to
know what he meant by the ex
pression 'Is only the most re
cent incident in what seems to
be an endless procession’. Cer
tainly I know of no endless pro
cession of Incidents at the Hos
pital. This generalization is
meaningless, it also creates a
wrong impression and 1 dif
fer with the strange statement
of one who should know better.
The sympathy for the patients
expressed in the words: ’One
wonders if those most impor
tant are being given the kind
of care and consideration which

Marion Jenkins, Marshall
Thomas and Arthur Jackson all
captured first places thus qua

next Saturday. The mile relay
team also qualified.
The Falcons tallied 3 points,
grabbing four firsts, 2 seconds,

Jenkins turned the half-mile
in 2:10 and "Tlnk” Thomas
set a meet record lh the mile
covering the distance in 5:05.
The mile relay team, placing
second, clocked a 3:46.
Arthur Jackson proved to be
a one man field team gaining
two firsts and a second. "Jack”
was the leading scorer for the
day with 13 1/4 points. His
firsts came in the high jump
with a six foot jump and the
discus with a toss of 130 feet.
Arthur’s other points were

placed in the shot put earning
a fourth.
is their right and our duty’ was
most touching. A small inves
tigation would have revealed the
fact that the staff and die work
ers at the hospital are tireless
in serving the patients. Even a
casual knowledge of the hospital
and its program would convince
any .one that much is being done
by people who dedicate themsel
ves to the thankless task of
helping the mental patients.
Should the writer of this edi
torial ever wish to tour the
hospital I would gladly show him
our physical set up; I would be
happy to introduce him to our
wonderful doctors and nurses
and ministers, and I feel that
such an experience would con
vince him that all is not bad
at the hospital.
Since there is a positive side
to all this, I would likej^j enu
merate some statistiq^ibout
the Pastoral services at the
hospital. This is only one phase
of the many activities at the
hospital, but it is one in which I
am personally engaged. I could
mention the other desciplines,
such as Music Therapy, Rec
reational Therapy, Occupation
al Therapy or other activities in
the interest of the patients,
but the work of the Ministers
should suffice to prove my point
kUOk much is being done for the
patients.
During the year 1965 the fol
lowing is the record of the Min
isters and their Interns:
1. The Ministry of Worship
Worship Services
(I conduct 41 services a
month for the patients)
Ward Devotionals 1072
(I conduct 32 of these
each month)
2. The Pastoral Ministry
Visits with patients 1,522
Visits with relatives 1,522
General visits to wards
3,656
Counseling, continued
basis 1,677
I could easily itemize other
activities of the Chaplains, but
this should suffice to establish
the fact that much is being done
for the patients and much more
could be done, if people were ,
really interested in our work.
In conclusion I wish to refer
you to the department of Public
Health, which will supply added
information on the plans for
the future of the Mental Health
Program for our State.
We might not have a perfect
condition at the Hospital, but
I assure you we have 3,000
dedicated souls who are using
their talents and abilities for
the rehabilitation of those we
have come to know and love.
SINCERELY YOURS IN CHRIST,
RT. REV. MSGR.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The editors
meant neither to resurrect a
dead issue nor to imply any
criticism of the devoted medi-
caT and pastoral personnel at
the Milledgeville State Hos
pital. Their intent was only
to express encouragement of
that work and to advocate the
most favorable possible condi
tions for them to continue their
generous service.
TO THE EDITOR;
THE RECENT appointment
of Father Kiernan and Father
Mayhew as co-editors of the
Georgia Bulletin was the most
welcome piece of news I re
ceived from the Archdiocese
since the recent birth of the
"emerging layman."
In many instances, where
there is a major change in
top level leadership, invari
ably the readers are asked
for suggestions to improve the
format in order to engender
more interest and enthusiam.
The Georgia Bulletin is no ex
ception to the above and there
fore, I humbly submit as my
suggestion:
PRINT more news about the
Archdiocese including parishes
outside the confines of Atlanta
and cut back some of the reli
gious stories we normally read
in the Register and other me
dia.

TO THE EDITOR
IN THE spirit of gratitude,
I have this day sent the fol
lowing letter to Mr. Chess La-
gomarsino, Lenox Square, Inc:
Dear Mr. Lagomarsino:
During the Lenten season, I
was privilege to attend the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass on several
occasions at the Lenox Square
Auditorium.
I wish to thank you whole
heartedly at this time for your
kind permission in allowing the
use of the Auditorium for this
purpose. I am sure that many
who attended would not have
had the opportunity to attend
daily Mass otherwise.
In the simplicity of its sur
roundings, the Mass was a few
precious moments of quiet and
respite from the busy-ness of
our daily lives.
I hope that this Lenten Mass
will become an annual obser
vance at Lenox Square and that
more Catholic and non-Catho-
lic shoppers will take advantage
of this wonderful opportunity.

Ten years ago in south India’s jungles Catholics
slept in trees at night because elephants prowled
below. “We cleared this jungle with our own
hands to give our children a better life,” says,
Father George Karakunnel. “My people do things
for themselves, as you can see.” . . . 5,000
farmers (half of them Catholics) live now in
thatch-roofed huts in the village of Vellayankudy
they established. They get less than 250 a day
raising rice and tapioca in the sweltering sun.
They have a school, nonetheless: children study
while their parents work. . . . Help them build a
decent place for Mass? “My men will put up the
church (of stone, with tile roof) free-of-charge
if we can somehow buy the materials ($3,450),”
says Father George. “Perhaps someone in Amer
ica will help.” . . . Name the church for your
favorite saint, in your loved ones’ memory, if
you build it all by yourself. Mail today as much
as you can at least ($500, $250, $100, $75,
$50, $25, $10, $5, $2). Father George and his
men will go to work immediately.
□ FIGHT HUNGER. $10 will feed a family for
several weeks at least. $50 will feed five families.
$100, ten families. . . . Only $975 gives a priest
a two-acre ‘model farm’ to raise his own food
and teach his parishioners how to raise more
food.
□ FIGHT LEPROSY. $8.50 buys 10,000 "mira
cle" Dapsone tablets (enough for 43 lepers for
one year).
□ GIVE YOURSELF a priest. $8.50 a month
($100 a year, $600 for the entire six-year train
ing) enables a poor boy to give his life to God’s
poor. He’ll write to you, pray for you. We’ll send
you his name on receipt of your first gift.
FINAL For $10,000 you can build in India a complete
THOUGHT ‘parish plant’ (church, rectory, school, convent)
in memory. Our legal title is Catholic Near East
Welfare Association when you make a will.
