Mental Patient Cost Report Shows
Responsibility of Georgia Counties
MILLEDGEVILLE — The dis
tribution by counties of the
14,324 patients enrolled at Mil
ledgeville State Hospital was re
leased this week by Dr. John
Venable, director of the Hospi
tal.
“We are letting the distribu
tion figures speak for themselves
in telling each county where it,
stands in responsibility for the,
patient load at Milledgeville,”
Dr. Venable said. Average pa
tient cost was $2.62 per day last
year.
The distribution list includes
the latest county population es
timates by the Georgia Depart- j
ment of Public Health. The 1950 '
census figures no longer give an
accurate picture in many cases.
Os the total hospital enroll
ment, about 2300 (or one in
seven) are on furlough as out
patients, leaving about 12,000
confined to the hospital itself.

Patients who remain on fur
lough a year are discharged.
Present laws for commitment
of patients, Dr. Venable said,
give the Hospital no control over
their admission. Each county
has full responsibility for as
signing patients to the Hospital.
This keeps the Hospital crowded
’and unable to accept voluntary
(patients or to share In evalua
tion of the patients before they
are committed.
Responsibility for operation of
the Hospital was transferred re
cently from the Department of
, Public Welfare to the Depart
’ ment of Public Health by Gov
ernor Ernest Vandiver, following
recommendations by a special
study committee named at the
Governor’s request by the Medi
cal Association of Georgia.

FRESH FRUIT makes a perfect ending to any meal on a hot
summer’s day. It’s refreshing, and it’s easy to serve. You can
cut the fruit up hours in advance of serving, if you sprinkle
Fruit-Freeze (an ascorbic acid mixture) over H. This will pro
tect the fruit and keep it from browning.
FRESH FRUIT PLATTER
For an attractive platter, here is a nice combination of fruit*:
Fresh whole pineapple Bananas
Peaches ‘ Melon
Pears Strawberries
Grapes
Cut pineapple In half lengthwise- scoop out meat and cut
into cubes. Peel and slice peaches, pears and bananas. Place
together in a bowl. For each 2 cups of mixed fruit dissolve
1 teaspoon Fruit-Freeze in 2 tablespoons water or fruit juice.
Sprinkle over the fruit and toss well so that each piece of
fruit is well coated. Peel-melon, and slice. Wash and hull
strawberries. Wrap fruit in waxed paper. Store in refrigerator
When ready to serve, place' the pineapple half on a platter;
fill center with mixed sliced fruit and top with strawberry
halves. Arrange melon slices and grapes on platter.
