FACTS ABOUT INSANITY
It is somewhat surprising to be
told that one of every twenty per
sons born in 1938 will face the
prospect on the basis of current
Statistics, of being committed to a
mental hospital sometime during
his life span.
Dr. Harold F. Dorn, of the U S.
Public Health Service, says this
will result because of the chang
ing character of the population
and the fact that larger pro
portion of mental patients come
from the older groups. He points
out that data kept by several
states over a long period of time
“do not support the contention
that the incidents of mental dis
orders have been increasing rap
idly."
While mental disorders are not
yet thoroughly understood, either
by psychiatrists or the general
public, they are now generally
considered physical maladies. In
time, even the general public will
begin to understand that mental
disease is closely related to phys
ical disease and thereby lose
some of the superstitious awe
with which such cases are some
times regarded.
It is interesting to report that
recent studies show that voilent
and delirious sufferers from pell
agra are restored dramatically to
reason overnight by nicotinic
acid and that insulin, now used
to shock certain patients back to
sanity, can be used successfully
to treat delirium tremens and
other mild mental disorders. The
fact that nicotinic acid cures on
ly the mental disease associated
with pellagra may lead to the
discovery of other specifics for
d'fferent forms of mental diseas
es.
It is estimated that the govern
ment now7 spen ds around
$150,000,000 a year to maintain
the institutions in which mental
ly diseased and defective individ
uals are cared for. If specifics can
be found to restore dark minds
; to light, the saving will be tre
| mendous in money, but, more im
portant will be the restoration of
! consciousness and responsibility
to those who suffer from mental
maladies.

LAWYERS ACT ON
RULES OF PROCEDURE
Members of the Tanana Valley
Association held a special meet
ing at Fairbanks to deter
mine whether to favor adoption
for the Territory of the uniform
rules of civil procedure recently
promulgated by the United Stat
es Supreme Court. The members
unanimously passed a motion
expressing approval of some of
the rules, but declaring the put-;
ting into force of such rules as j
favored by them should be done!
by territorial legislative rather
than by federal congressional en-;
actment.
Fairbanks lawyers are averse \
to favoring the adoption for the1
Territory of any rules that could'
not be changed except by con-,
gressional action.
The action of the Tanana Val
ley Bar will be communicated to
the Juneau Bar, which is spon-i
soring a meeting in Juneau in the
near future of representatives of
the Bars of all the four Divis-|
ions in the Territory.
A committee of five was ap-;
pointed by the Tanana Valley'
Bar to select from the rules pro- j
mulgated by the United States
Supreme Court those rules fav
ored by the Fairbanks lawyers.
The committee will formulate
a written statement to be sub
mitted to the meeting in Juneau.

Roosevelt Children’s Benefit
Is Taking Form
Mayor Alvin Polet today ac
cepted the Chairmanship of the
1939 President’s Birthday Ball
celebration, succeeding Russell
G. Maynard, who served in 1938,
and is planning a meeting tomor
row evening to which all inter
ested parties are invited.
The Roosevelt Children’s Bene
fit, as it has been called here, has
a Board of Trustees consisting of
U. S. Marshal B. B. Mozee, Mrs.
Aimer Rydeen, and Harry G.
Ga.brielson. The Fund raised is
administered by this board, to all
needy children who require some
type of specialized attention, whe
ther medical, surgical or optical.
The invitation to hold such an
affair was received recently from
the late Secretary of Alaska Ed
ward Griffin. In his letter, an
nouncement wa- made of a
change in the program.
This year fifty percent of the
net amount raised in the local
communities will go to the Na
tional Foundation for the Pre
vention of Infantile Paralysis,
and fifty percent will remain in
the community. Mr. Griffin had
been appointed as the General
Chairman for Alaska. Since his
death no announcement has been
forthcoming as to a successor,
but it is expected some informa- j
tion will be received s'’on.
Announcement of committees
and plans for the 1939 Celebra
t:on in Nome is expected to be
made following the meeting to-1
morrow evening.

ville, Utah, salt flats shot Capt.
