Robin tells of pleasant spring weather ahead Permission To Burn Cannot Be Granted

Now that spring has sprung many people are finding the ambition to clean up their yards.

The Greencastle Fire De-

partment has received many calls from people, some of whom have supposedly been advised by an unnamed official to call there, asking the Fire Department to give them permission to burn leaves, etc. The Fire Department wishes to make it very clear that they cannot give anyone permission to burn openly because it is against the law.

‘Progress’ Key To Clinic Effort

“Progress” is the key word in the continued efforts to establish an outpatient mental health clinic, workers for the clinic reported. Representatives from Putnam County, Dr. James Johnson, Richard Kelly, Rex Rector and Mrs. Charles Rector, met last week with the board of the Hendricks County Mental Health Clinic, Inc. Amendments to the Hendricks bylaws were reviewed. The changes include a new name; eighteen board members to be appointed by various agencies, nine from Hendricks County, nine from Putnam County. In mid-April the Hendricks clinic board members will officially adopt the by-law amendments, if approved by the state department of mental health, clearing the way for the newly organized clinic. On May 15 the new board of directors will hold its initial meeting in Greencastle. A budget for 1974 will be adopted, as well as the items for application of financial assistance from the Indiana State Department of Mental Health, to augment the already appropriated funds from the two counties. Another major item of business conducted last week was the approval of an applicant for the combined job as psychiatric social worker and administrator. He anticipates taking over his responsibilities within the next sixty days.
