Attendance Report For Rural Schools - Hartford high school, with an attendance percentage of 98.8 among its 61 students, topped the attendance among the Adams county high schools for the recent period, according to a report by Mrs. Mildred Foley, atendance officer.

Council Votes Suspension Os Teamster Union Two More Scandal Scarred Unions Are Called Onto Carpet WASHINGTON (UP)—The AFL* CIO Executive Council, in a gettough mood, called two more scandal-scarred unions on the carpet today following its suspension of the mighty Teamsters Union. The council prepared to deal sternly with the corruption-cloud-ed 160,000-member Bakery Workers and the 40,000-member United Textile Workers. The council was to meet at 10 a.m. e.d.t. The council voted Thursday qight 25 to 4 to suspend the 1,400,-QOO-member trucking union for failing to give the gate to Presi-dent-elect James R. Hos fa and a raft of other top officials accused of corruption. Meany States rosKion Blunt-spoken AFL-CIO President George Meany, a cigar clenched between his teeth, made it clear there was only one way for the Teamsters to get back into labor’s official family: purge Hoffa and the other marked officials and allow an AFL-CIO committee to supervise the union's housecleaning. If they refuse, the council warned, it will urge that the union. largest in the nation, be expelled outright at the federation’s December convention. The Bakery and Textile Unions hoped to escape the Teamsters fate by citing "reforms” made in line with AFL-CIO demands. Textile workers Secretary-Treasurer Lloyd Klenert resigned last week after having been accused by the AFL-CIO of misusing union funds. Refused To Resign But Bakery Workers President James G. Cross has refused to resign despite heavy attacks from Senate rackets investigators, the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Committee and Bakers Vice President Daniel E. Conway. The council Thursday brushed aside a request by the Teamsters for a year’s delay to give the union timo to conduct its own clean-up. Suspension deprives the AFLCIO of about SBOO,OOO in Teamsters’ dues and roughly one-tenth of its 15,000,000 members. Teamsters chiefs, apparently stunned by the action, did not indicate their next step. Hoffa, redfaced and angry, bolted from the council meeting and refused any comment. Court Nows Divorce Filed A complaint for divorce has been filed by Ruth M. Tolan against Charles R. Tolan, charging cruel and inhuman treatment. A summons has been ordered returnable Nov. 18. An affidavit for a restraining order has §een submitted and approved. An application has been filed for attorney fees and a hearing on this has been set for Oct. 30. The plaintiff seeks restoration of her maiden name, Gephart. Affidavit for Citation An affidavit for citation against Marshall D. Nash has been filed by Virginia Nash, who alleges that he is $315 in arrears in support payments. A hearing on the affidavit has been scheduled Nov. 26. Estate Cases The inheritance tax report forth, Charley A. Burdg estate has been submitted, showing a net value of .416,169.29 plus $17,923.24 outside the estate. The tax due from the widow, who is the only heir, is $29.23. The last will and testament of William Reppert has been offered and accepted for probate. A bond in the sum of $2,500 has been submitted and letters testamentory have been ordered issued to Ada Owens and Dallas Reppert.

Psychiatrist Favors Open Mental Hospital Favors Treatment As Normal Person By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK (UP) —The hospital didn’t have any choice about it. There was nothing to do but put female “mental'’ patients into the same small ward with female medical and surgical patients. Even a layman would think that was bad, and certainly most doctors would agree. People who are physically ill or who have had surgery need quiet and rest. “Mental” patients often are neither quiet nor restful. But this was the 'soosth Air Force Hospital at Elmendorf Base in Alaska. Being a military hospital, it has, in addition to obstetrical facilities, only one 30 - bed ward for the female relatives of airmen. So in went the mentally ill (but physically healthy) with the physically ill (but mentaly heathy.) And what happened? Nothing. The two groups got aong famously together. Despite forebodings, the mentally ill behaved themselves. This was reported by Dr. Pietro Castelnuovo-Tcdcsco, who was in charge of the hospital’s neuropsychiatric service for 18 months and who now is a member of the faculty of Boston University School of Medicine. His report coincides with a growing scientific suspicion that the very atmosphere of the average public mental hospital makes the mentally ill sicker rather than better. Cameron “Open” Advocate Dr. D. Ewen Cameron, worldfamous psychiatrist and professor of the subject at McGill University, Montreal, once put this new concept into a few words for this writer. The mentally ill behave as they’re EXPECTED to behave by the people around them and by their doctors and nurses. Usually they’re expected to behave badly, and so they do. Dr. Cameron is an advocate of the “open” mental hospital in which there are no locked doors and no restraints of any kind. He operates .such a hospital in Montreal and there are a number of such hospitals in Canada and Britain. Dr. Castelnuovo-Tcdesco. however, had no choice about it in that remote Alaskan hospital; he had no “closed” ward for females. The mentally ill women were of all degrees, including the "acutely disturbed, hallucinating, or destructive.” But they always were ih the minority in the female ward where the majority thought them merely sick of “nerves ' as you might be sick because of your stomaeh or liver. The mentally ill woman was accepted by the physically ill women as one of the girls, and the doctor was happy to sec them benefit from “girl talk.” 'Normal' Environment Help “In other words, they find themselves in a ’normal’ environment and seem to benefit from the fact that they are in contact with essentially* well people,” he said in his report to the New England Journal of Medicine. “They tend to learn their ways and follow their example. In this setting patients arc stimulated by the performance of others to sustain their defenses and behave in a fairly appropriate fashion, rather than surrender to their illness and learn from their neighbors other psychotic mannerisms as not infrequently happens with patients who have just been admitted to a state hospital.” He noted that the percentage of psychiatric patients in .such a ward would always have to be quite small. But “as a general rule." he said, “it may be stated again that—within certain limits—(mental' patients who are treated as normal persons tend To behave as such.” He also noted that he had no idea what would have happened if all the patients had been men. The female patients had a “protective interest in one another. He suggested that

State Os Siege Is Lifted In Guatemala Siege State Lifted By Military Junta GUATEMALA CITY (UP)-An angry crowd of Guatemalans who marched on the presidential palace forced the three-man military junta to lift the three-day state of siege today. The junta also ordered the army to confiscate weapons from members of the former government's National Democratic Movement. There was no immediate indication whether the three colonels who formed the junta and took over the government Thursday would remain in power themselves or appoint a provisional president. A government communique said the state of siege imposed Tuesday was being lifted because the

people were behaving more snsibly. Riots nearly wrecked the city Tusday and Wednesday nights. But they ordered army units to guard the market places today. Gen. ManueJi Ydigoras Fuentes, defeated candidate in the presidential elections last Sunday marched on the presidential palace with 5.000 of his followers at 10 o'clock Thursday night. He presented the junta with a series of demands. One was that the state of siege be lifted. Another was that an obscure army officer, Col. Guillermo Flores Avcndando be installed as provisional president until new general elections could be held. At midnight, the junta announced. the state of siege had been lifted. By then the crowd with Ydigoras was reduced to about 200. » White Sfiks White silks will retain their good color if two or three drops of vinegar are added to the last rinsing water.
