It's April
In continuing our editorials on the months of the year we find we have reached April—when the showers come to bring the Alay flowers. April brings more than showers. April 1 is April Fool’s Day. It possibly came from the French, pranks which were played during the confusion resulting from the adoption of a new calendar in France in the year 1">64. Sir Winston Churchill day is celebrated on April 9 and is to honor the great British statesman who was made a citizen of the United States on this day. April 23 to 29 is Canada-United States goodwill week to bring about a

Did you ever stop to think about those words and the joy they bring? T is to remind us to think of others—they have feelings too and a thank you can certainly help make a hard job seem worth doing.

114 From County In State Institutions INDIANAPOLIS — Dr. J. Randolph Gambill, acting state mental health commissioner, reported today that 114 Kosciusko county residents were under treatment and care in state mental hospitals and schools for retarded on June 30, 1966. Also during the last fiscal year, 30 county people were admitted, and 29 were discharged. Dr. Gambill’s report showed that 114 are presently in state institutions: 40 in Beatty hospital, 35 in Fort Wayne school, 24 in Logansport hospital, 10 in New Castle hospital and five in Riclimond hospital. Statewide, more than 33,000 persons received some kind of care and treatment for mental illenss in state hospitals, schools for the mentally retarded, and community clinics. According to Dr. Gambill, mental health authorities agree that, at best, only about one-half of the patients are getting suitable care for their mental condition. He said, “All patients do get necessary medical care and newly admitted ones get extensive psychiatric attention. But this leaves a a great number of patients who are seen only occasionally by physicians since we employ only about one-half of the doctors we need, one-half the nurses, and one-half of the other professional people it tak’es to run mental institutions. , Dr. Gambill submitted a $222 million request last August to the J state budget committee for operlat ion and construction costs for the next two years. The recent general assembly appropriated $132 million I for mental health operations. “The general assembly has determined what the mental health program will be for the next two years.’’ Dr. Gambill said. “Its shortcomings will require us to face again in the next session the compelling and desperate needs for ■more treatment personnel and adei quate treatment buildings. Until : then, the department of mental j health will continue to conduct the i state’s mental health affairs as effectivdy as it can within the limits of the new budget.” Bloomington were at home for a few days. Guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Marvin Sunday were Mrs. Ada Gleb.

Amendment Passed On Illegal Claims Among the amendments made by the 1967 Indiana general assembly to the Indiana Employment Security Act is one which makes more severe the penalty for illegally claiming unemployment insurance. Lewis F. Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that after April 1, any individual who files a fraudulent claim may be fined as much as SSOO or sentenced to six months in prison, or both. The previous maximums were 60 days in jail and a SIOO fine. Mr. Nicolini said that he expects the new higher penalties to cut even further the attempts to obtain unemployment insurance through falsehood and concealment of earnings. He said that the division has an active prevention unit always on the lookout for false claims and that there was evidence of fraud in less than 1-20 of one per cent of last year’s s2l million unemployment insurance payments. Almost half of the money illegally claimed had been recovered by the end of the year and the division was obtaining repayment of the rest.' A total of 43 persons were prosecuted for fraud and 34 were convicted. DIPLOMACY Prof: “Mr. Smith, will you tell me why you look at your time-piece so often?” Smith (suavely): “Yes sir!
