How long will it be before. Canada will find.it ne- dessary to separate hospital week and give exclusive concentration Whether we like the thought or not mental ill- ness is dogging us. One person in twenty of our society can expect to, at some.time, be an inmate of a mental institution. In United States the ratio is one in twelve amd we ean count on it, we will soon be the-same for strange as it is we have a great tendency to follow < move-cagerly the weak points of our neighbor than to follow where he is strong. v ; 'We so easily and eagerly adopt from our whom we love but do not always respect, their speed, their personal freedom, and low moral standards. This craze for speed we certain ly do not get from otir Scottish, Irish or English ancestors, nor from our E uropean forefathers; they gave us a placid inheritance if we had the sense to grasp it." The exagerated idea of personal freedom gets us many a headache; no man, American or Canadian is a law unto himself without sooner. or later finding that he does not fit well in-his small social circle. The idiotic divorce rate in United States and so rapidly growing in Canada makes the whole country look weak and unstable and so these add up to a few of the reasons why so many.of our citizens are residents of mental hospitals. Our home life has degeneiated to the point where juveniles show more dnd more psychiatric symptoms. Admissions in mental insti- tutions are younger and home life is to blame. It is a weakening in our moral tone of living that parents refuse to accept their respon- sibilities and put -the home before personal pleasures. Parenthood is an obligation which carries with it some sacrifices of the liberty and freedom of movement enjoyed by childless couples or single folk, The drives 'that cause mental illnesses are, the.tensions in the demand for material things, the constant thrill seekers, dope and alcoholic addictions and those deep mood attitudes, to name a few. None of these tendencies are normal and if we are going to stop this ever growing menace to ourselves and our children now is the time to begin. Throughout the south end of the County of Ontarig. there are hundreds of patients of the Ontavio Hospital, boarding in homes. These people have so progressed favourably in their mental illnesses that they are given a chance to mingle again in society and try again living normal lives. ave you seen them? Is there one or two of these folk on your street or in-your own house or your neighbors? .. Have you noticed the half afraid, half shy look .of some who yearn for a kind "good-morning", a friendly nod, anything to assure them that they are people with feelings and responses like the rest of us who so far have not had the "one in twenty" label. Some of them have the far away look of a dreamer who seeks solace in im- _aginations but a cheery word often enough spoken can bring them 'back to reality and if folks make the world of reality nice enough perhaps they would prefer to dwell in it and not tend. to build up their own make-believe. . Human happiness grows out of a harmonious adjustment of life to the conditions imposed by our society. The thoughtfulness and American causins, ¢ kindness which we give these convalescent patients" can help them > greatly as by treating them: nor mally we assure them that they are not set apart: -- At the same time we will be giving ourselves the best insurance we can carry-against our own "one in twenty" chances for as long as we think of other people as having greater problems than we ourselves our own troubles will never overwhelm us.
