Lillie League
Sets Up Plan
For Financing
Newton Little League ball
players will be taking part
soon in a plan to finance the
entire baseball program in the
league, according to league of
ficials who have Okayed the
proposed plan.
The finance campaign is in
the form of giving away a
Florida vacation for a family
of two to four persons.
Heretofore, the concession
stand at the Conyers Street LL
park was the only means by
which money was raised to de
fray the expense of the league.
Dugouts are needed for each
side of the field, new bleacher
seats are also needed and field
maintenance. In addition, balls,
bats, catcher’s equipment, first
baseman’s equipment, insuran
ce for all players are items that
must be financed during the
season.
Another sorely needed phase
of the LL play is umpires. If
the plan works out, the league
will be able to hire umpires,
Little League players will
also have a chance to earn
prizes and equipment by their
participation in the campaign.
League officials said that the
first vacation will probably be
awarded in June.
Baseball Fact
Danny Barnes, a first-base
man and pitcher for the Ox
ford Dodgers perhaps set a
record, or at least tied one
Thursday, when he homered
in his first appearance in a
Little League game against the
Porterdale Yankees.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
IN THE COVINGTON NEWS

All but seven of Georgia’s
159 counties will be providing
public health nursing services
to families of the metally ill
by the end of 1961, the State
Department of Public Health
announced today.

counties which either offer

MH Treasurer Donald Steph
enson's Report is on Page 24
fer them this year have been
trained during the administra
tion of Governor Ernest Van
diver.

offered in 120 counties. Nurses
from 92 counties have been

18 Goals Os Menial Health
Organizations In Georgia
The Georgia Association For
Mental Health, which is the
parent organization of the
Newton County Mental Health
Association, has issued a pam
phlet giving 18 goals or ob
jectives which the program
hopes to achieve in Georgia.
They are as follows:
1. Help change public atti
tudes toward mental illness,
eliminating feelings of shame,
guilt and fear.
2. Work for acceptance, un
derstanding and use of Com
mitment Act 618 (1960), Em
phasize importance of volun
tary admissions to hospital.
3. Work toward keeping
mentally ill patients out of
jail. Each county hospital
should provide facilities for
emergency care.
4. Work for psychiatric beds
in general hospitals.
5. Work for more funds for
Milledgeville State Hospital so
that care and treatment can
progressively be improved.
6. Work for Chaplaincy ser
vice in the Milledgeville State
Hospital by personnel profes
sionally trained for this type
of work.
7. Promote the development
of a coordinated teaching and
research program in Milledge
ville State Hospital with our
two medical schools.
8. Promote the establishment
of a residential treatment
center for emotionally distur
bed children.
9. Promote the establish
ment of 5 or 10 regional cen
ters for screening, diagnosis
and early intensive treatment, ■
with out-patient clinics.
10. Encourage the establish
ment of 20 to 30 additional;
out-patient mental health
clinics as soon as possible.
11. Work for a sound pro
gram of counseling in the
schools.
12. Work to encourage more
of our young people to go into
the professions of psychiatry,
psychology, psychiatric social
work, phychiatric nursing, oc
cupational therapy, recreation
al therapy; and to assist them,
when needed, with scholarships.
13. Emphasize the impor
tance of medical schools, teachr
er training schools, law schools,
schools of theology, nurses
training schools, giving their
students adequate and appro
priate orentation in the basic
principles of psychiatry and
mental health.
14. Work with Rehabilita
tion Agencies in the state so
that mental patients can be re
turned as productive members
of society.
15. State revenue from sale
of beverages with alcoholic
content exceeds 20 million dol
lars annually. We spend only
1% percent of this revenue for
treatment and prevention of al
coholism. This amount is in
adequate. We must work to
strengthen the state program
against alcoholism.
16. Work for inclusion of
coverage for mental illness in
health and hospitalization in
surance as provided for all oth- I
Hospital patients and their
families sometime during the
year.
These counties voluntarily
took advantage of training
program provided at Milledge
ville State Hospital by the
State Health Department
through its Community Mental
Health Services program.
Emphasis was placed on
thinking of mental illness as a
sickness calling for the same
help to patients and families
as that offered for other dis
eases such as tuberculosis,
heart diseases, or cancer, ac
cording to Miss Florence Beas
ley, the mental health nurse
consultant who has had a ma
jor role in the development of
this program.
Under the program, as soon
as a patient enters the state
hospital, he or she is placed
under the nursing program in
the local heealth departments
er types of illness.
17. Work for a sound and
comprehensive program for our
senior citizens.
18. Emphasize PREVEN
TION of mental illness, seek
ing the cooperation of parents,
physicians, clergymen, teach
ers, nurses, judges, lawyers,
probation officers, recreation
leaders, law enforcement offi
cers, county commissioners,
social workers, psychologists,
industrial leaders, editors, and
others. The psychiatrist is, of
course, devoting his life to cur
ing and preventing mental ill
-1 ness.
