Experiments show that healthy, normal people can go mentally haywire when cut off from all or most all contact with the world through sight, sound, touch, and other senses, they explained. Most people can't tolerate a world full of nothingness.

They get hallucinations and Being alone with too little to do, see or hear could be bad for sick people in hospitals, said Drs. P. Herbert Leiderman, Jack H. Mendelson, Donald Wexler, and Philip Solomon, all of Boston. The aloneness and lack of sensory stimulation could tip some patients into delirium and mental unbalance, they told the American Medical Association.

They studied patients at Boston City Hospital Massachusetts General Hospital who got mental reactions this way. Radio, television, reading, and more visits and activities could help prevent the trouble, they said. Some patients living in mechanical lungs because of polio get hallucinations and delusions, they observed. The strange visions occur mainly at night. One man thought he was going to be killed in an international intrigue.

A woman had delusions that her home was on fire, her children in peril. When she came out of the respirator, her mind cleared. Music, gayer hospital colors, less prolonged bed rest, and more recreational and occupational opportunities might well be ways of preventing the "lost world" reactions, they said. $3.00 Value Now $200 $5.00 Value Now $333 $7.95 Value Now $530 $10.95 Value Now $730 mmum A- 6-yr. size DROPSIDE ALL SALES MAL plus tax TAYLOR 6-yr.

Four days ago when she was interviewed Miss Henninger, assistant director of the hospital's School of Nursing, believed "they're going to have some kind of tea for me Friday." Presumably she won't Inow the extent of the plans until she reads this. They are: 1. The Nurses' Residence henceforth will be known as Henninger IIpII. A plaque bearing the new name is ready for unveiling at a dedication ceremony in the hospital's amphitheater at 2 p.m.

today. 2. A recer tion and tea will follow in Henninger Hall. 3. At 7 p.m.

a testimonial dinner attended by about 200 former graduates of the school will be at the Kentucky Hotel. Dr. William K. Keller, director-the department of psychiatry at General Hospital, will speak. Classmate To Speak One of Miss Henninger's classmates of the 1922 graduating class, Miss Louree Pottinger, director of nursing service at the Medical College of Virginia, will speak at the dedication ceremony.

Miss Henninger happened to mention Miss Pottinger during the interview. She recalled that she and Miss Pottinger spent three weeks in the 40-bed isolation ward during training. They had their meals there and slept there and ministered to patients with scarlet fever, whooping cough, and other contagious diseases. "There js no isolation ward now no need for it," Miss Henninger said. Was Teacher In 1918 Miss Henninger was teaching a country school near her home in Hardinsburg during the 1918 flu epidemic.

"This is awful something should be done," was her reaction, she said earlier this week. So she quit teaching, came to HE DOORS ARE" OPEN.

Active in professional organizations, Miss Henninger helped write the history of the Kentucky State Association of Nurses. In 1936 she received her B. S.

degree in nursing education from Nazareth College. Miss Henninger says she 'believes she worked hardest during World War II' "just as everyone else did." She has seen hundreds of girls graduate during her 32 years at the hospital. They are ingly modest woman, Miss Henninger has time for hobbies in addition to keeping up with the latest developments in nursing. She has an enchanting collection of dolls dressed in nurses' uniforms, including a Florence Nightingale doll. She also collects old textbooks on nursing.

One of her treasures is a textbook on nursing published in 1885 and written by Clara Weeks. Miss Weeks goes into some detail describing the proper way to apply leeches. It seems that leeches won't bite unless the area to which they are applied is cleansed.
