Mental Health Team
To Meet Nomeites At
P-TA Meeting Thursday
The P-TA are sponsoring an
open meeting tomorrow at 8:00 at
the Nome School for parents and
interested people to meet with
the mental health team of the
Territorial Department of Health.
A special feature of the meeting
will be a discussion of the much
talked of Mental Health Eill now
before Congress.
The group of three specialists
who have been here since Monday
has been holding consultations
and will be available by appoint
ment through Thursday.
Dr. Charles Anderson, psychia
trist who heads the group, states
that 18 beds in a special ward of
the ANS hospital at Anchorage,
for mental cases has not been
used pending regulations for its
use, while those needing care
either go unattended or are ship
ped stateside.
An important feature of the
present bill, he states, that should
'be pointed out to places such as
Nome, pertains to commitment.
In the present bill, no one can be
committed without examination
by two doctors, which would
make it very difficult for local
ities like Nome, as well as the
more remote areas. Other phases
of the bill will also be discussed.
