Will You Vote Yes'
On May 20 On the
School Bond Issue?
DE AR (LAYTON COUNTY VOTERS:
Will you go to vote May 20? Will you vote “yes” or
“no” for the future of Clayton County children? Will
you really study the issues and see if the need for your
“no” is the best you can give, or will you really search
your heart and not just your
pocketbook?
To study just your pocket
book is unfair to many boys
and girls who will be crowded
into classrooms or into out
dated “out-lived” science labs.
If you search your pocketbook
you will find the dollars shrink
ing to pennies buy your “yes”
vote will make your county a
better place and you can’t
count that in dollars and cents.
Education in Clayton
County has grown as a tribute
to the citizens of this county.
Just as we cannot stop a tree
growing after we have ferti
lized, pruned and cared for it—
neither can we expect our chil
dren’s education to be stopped
while the Federal Government
or State Government are de-

and
ciding what they can do for us!
Just as the pioneers saw the
need for education and made
sure we had the opportunity,
so must we of Clayton County
take the responsibility for the
“future” of our children. We
must stop and survey the
needs. God will grant us the
grace to accept the things we
cannot change but we must
have the courage to change the
things that we can. Os course,
it will take courage for some of
us to vote “yes” when we
know it will make it tighter on
our pocketbooks, but since
when have we of Clayton
County put our pocketbooks
ahead of our children?

POINT OF VIEW
This Is a Guest
Point of View
By Stan May
Executive Vice President
Clayton County Chamber
of Commerce
“For every action there is a
consequence.”
These were the words of Dr.
Samuel Hayakawa addressing
the opening
session of the
annual
meeting of the
Chamber of
Commerce of
the United
States in Wash
ington, D. C.
last week. The
theme of the
opening ses
sion was “The
Up-tight Generation: Per
spective on Campus Dis
orders”.
William Sullivan, assistant
director of the FBI, opened the
session with a thorough and
informative examination of the
events of recent years that have
led to the massive campus dis
orders that are taking place
today. He identified for the
assembled delegates the per
sons and organizations that are
responsible for this turmoil ano'
described their methods of
achieving their goals.
Without question, the cur
rent unrest in the academic
community is one of the great
est domestic problems facing
our nation today. Even as this
column is being written, the
president of the City College of
New York has just announced
his resignation.
In a recent discussion with a
college president and other
school officials, the observa
tion was made that while the
situation is deplorable, all of
the blame should by no means
be placed on the college admin
istrators. Until the past several
months the administrators felt
they could not effectively deal
with the matter in the way
they would have preferred to
hama Islands for lop sales and merchan
dising of Zenith TVs, stereos and radios
this year. This is the second year in a
row the Jenkinses have won a vacation
trip for Zenith sales. They will join other
top dealers from Georgia and Tennessee
on the chartered trip later this month.
because there was a lack of
willingness on the part of the
federal government and state
governments, and in some in
stances the courts, to support
them.
Dr. Hayakawa, who as presi
dent of San Francisco State
College, has had his share of
campus disorders, used the
occasion to make public his
school’s future position. He
stated that his students have
always insisted that they are
adults and wanted to be
treated as such, and it was his
intention to accept this
premise in dealing with them.
As adults they must realize
that for every action there is a
consequence, and accordingly
they must be willing to accept
the consequences for any act
they commit. In the future this
will mean possible suspension
or expulsion for actions other
than peaceful demonstration.
This is essentially the same
position taken by the president
of Notre Dame. Although the
situation is by no means under
control 1 believe that we will
see an increasingly “harder”
approach to the problem taken
by the administrators.
Already we have seen in re
cent days a trend in this direc
tion. Perhaps this is due in part
to the position taken by the
Federal Government and an
nounced by President Nixon in
his appearance before the U. S.
Chamber meeting.
But student unrest, accord
ing to Mr. Sullivan, is far from
being ended. As he pointed
out, the scene of activity might
well change in the coming
months from the campus to
the factory. It is no secret that
the move is in this direction,
for the Students for a Demo
cratic Society have already
issued a detailed instruction
sheet to its members entitled
“Student Summer Work-ins.”
Companies are alert to the
possible situation that could
develop and we hope they will
be prepared to handle the
problem should it arise.

NEW CLAYTON COUNTY HOSPITAL WHICH WILL HAVE A
MENTAL HEALTH WING
Clayton's Mental Health Center
To Offer Finest in Service
By Robert Pulliam, Director
In the Spring of 1970 the
citizens of Clayton, Henry and
Fayette counties will have a
community health center that
has been carefully designed,
constructed and equipped to
bring to the people it serves the
most modern techniques, pro
grams and treatment available.
A $400,000 Bond Issue for
a Comprehensive Community
Mental Health Center was
passed by the citizens of Clay
ton County in 1965. A few
years earlier the citizens had
passed a $2,000,000 Bond
Issue for the 150-bed General
Hospital and a 25-bed Mental
Health Unit. With monies from
these two Bond Issues, along
with a $500,000 State grant-in
-aid for the General Hospital
and $1,866,000 Federal grant
in-aid for both the General
Hospital and Mental Health
Center, the $4,766,000 needed
for the construction and equip
ping this facility was raised.
As director of the Mental
Health Center, 1 am most
appreciative and grateful to the
people of Clayton County for
recognizing our need and
affording us in the Mental
Health field an opportunity to
work in an atmosphere that is
so conducive and essential for
the fulfillment of our services.
The Mental Health Center
will be using techniques similar
to those of public health.
These techniques of prevention
(identifying and treating early
illnesses and limiting disabili
ties) require new types of serv
ice and a complex web of re
lationships. This web of social,
political, economic, legal, med
ical and paramedical relation
ships is essential in ensuring the
effectiveness of these techni
ques.
The
I hi ai l
Hapeville,
Our program will be geared
to the flexibility and respon
siveness of the community.
Program and staff are available
to the individual and the com
munity when the need arises
and our services will be immed
iately accessible. We will be
geared to prevent waiting lists,
long distances between
patient's home and the Center
and we will offer a broad range
of services.
The key to a Center's serv
ices is providing immediate
help to crisis and non-crisis
clients. The lock accompanying
this key is education and con
sultation. Community care
takers such as ministers, case
workers, counselors, physi
cians, teachers, law enforce
ment officers, etc. will be uti
lized to ensure a full use of
community personnel skills.
This assembling and sup
porting of a variety of com
munity professionals ensures
rapid treatment, follow-up,
follow-through care for our
patients and prevents many
people from becoming

patients. The primary task of a
Center is to prevent the need
of either out-patient or in
patient services.
The Community Mental
Health Center program is a new
way of organizing and arrang
ing mental health services. A
nationwide system for delivery
of mental health services was
created when Congress passed
the “Community Mental
Health Center’s Act’’ of 1963.
This act resulted from findings
and recommendations of the
Joint Commission on Mental
Illness and Health, an organiza
tion of 36 voluntary and pro
fessional organizations. This
Commission conducted a five
year study which culminated in
a report to Congress and the
President entitled "Action for
Mental Health”. This docu
ment contained numerous
recommendations to deal with
the inadequacies in mental
health care that had been un
covered.
A major discovery was that

The Center must provide
continuity of care. A patient
can move easily and quickly
from one type of treatment to
another as his needs change
(i.g. inpatient to outpatient, or
outpatient to vocational serv
ices). Treatment at any time
must be appropriate to the
course of his illness. This is
called “Continuity of Care.” It
represents the most advanced
psychiatric thinking and
research concerning the care of
mentally ill.
