Alaska’s New Mental
Health Team Aids Patients
To Prepare for Recovery
ANCHORAGE, Dec.' 5 — Alas
ka's first and newly appointed
mental health team will leave An
chorage next week to work at
Seward Sanatorium until Dec. 18,
it was announced today by Max
R. Williamson, director of the Vo
cational Rehabilitation office in
the territory.
“An important part of the suc
cessful treatment of tuberculosis
or other diseases that require
long-term hospitalization is the
patient’s preparation for readjust
ment to routine life after he is
discharged from the hospital,” it
was explained by Dr. Charles An
derson, psychiatrist. Dr. Ander
son heads the three-member men
tal health team o'f the Alaska De
partment of Health.
“It may be,” the psychiatrist
said, “that the work the patient I
was doing before his illness is too
strenuous for him to return to,
and he must therefore seek an
other occupation when he leaves
the hospital.”
“Much has been learned,” Dr.
Anderson said, “about the ways
in which to help patients readjust
and rehabilitate themselves. Our
work at Seward Sanatorium will
be to assist both the staff and the
patients in understanding and
meeting these problems there.”

Super Constellation, U.S.’s
Fastest Military Transport,
Passes Strength Tests
WASHINGTON, </P)—The Navy
said Thursday its R7V-1 Super
Constellation, which it calls “Am
erica’s fastest military air trans
port,” has passed nine weeks of
grueling strength tests.
To prove the structural strength
of the 113-foot-long plane, engin
eers at the Lockheed Aircraft
Corp. factory at Burbank, Calif.,
loaded the fuselage with lead in
gots and added external pressures
until the bending forces equalled
175,000 pounds.
