Mental Health
Week Proclaimed
By Hendrickson
J
Acting Governor of Alaska
Waino E. Hendrickson has pro
claimed the week of May 2 to
May 8 as Mental Health Week.
In his proclamation, Hendick
son takes consideration of the
following points:
“The nation’s most important
health problem is mental illness,
which accounts for more hospital
ized patients today than all other
illnesses combined.
“More than 9,000,000 people—
or one out of every 16—are suf
fering from mental and emotional
disorders.
“Mental illness manifests itself,
also, in physical illnesses, delin
quency, crime, school failure, job
failure and alcoholism.
“The effects of mental illness
are felt in the Territory of Alaska
no less than in other parts of the
United States and the world . . .
Alaska suffers from an acute
shortage of clinical facilities and
personnel trained in treating men
tal illness.
“It is the responsibility of every
community and every citizen in
the territory to combat mental
illness through support of meas
ures for prevention, improved
treatment, research and education
and through the personal applica
tion of sound mental health prin- !
ciples.”
The proclamation calls upon the I
citizens of Alaska to participate in j
the observance of this occasion, ;
thus better acquainting them
selves with the facts about mental
illness and mental health, and
with their responsibilities in
maintaining good mental health
in this territory.

Playfield and the repair of its
equipment. The finance commit
tee was instructed to look into
the necessary repairs for this

A letter was received request
ing that the ordinance on tying up

The street committee was in
structed to look into the drainage
situation at the foot of D street.
A1 Branson of Wien’s recom
mended that the city take some
action and set up markers on his
torical buildings for the benefit
of tourists. Jennie Martin stated
that the Pioneer Women had un
dertaken this project as a civic
project and had markers made a
few years ago, but that now most
o'f them have been destroyed.
The mayor gave a fine talk on
the importance of clean-up week
and said that an intensified pro
gram will be carried out this year
including the condemnation of old
empty cabins which are fire and
health hazards.
Rita Harper brought out the
fact that Nome is the only incor
