Church a 'Must' For Many State Mental Patients By JACK B. MACKAY ST. PAUL More than 16,000 Minnesotans wake up in mental hospitals or penal institutions every Sunday morning and just like home-living citizens, church-going is a regular habit for many of them. Unique to Minnesota the state's chaplaincy program. It is a direct outgrowth of 'the expanded mental health act passed by the 1949 legislature.

It begins: "Whereas, mental illness is a sickness with respect to which there should be no stigma or shame." In section three of the bill, it reads: "There shall be a staff of including religious and spiritual counsel through qualified Following the legislative session, Gov. Luther W. Youngdahl appointed a voluntary chaplaincy committee to study the problem and make recommendations for appointment of fulltime chaplains to serve in mental hospitals. Now permanent, the committee is made up of representatives of all faiths in ratio to the church populations of Minnesota. Respective faith groups recommend representatives to the committee and appointments to its personnel are a a Leirfallom, director of the state division of public institutions.

Members serve without pay. Ten fulltime chaplains now serve in mental hospitals and the committee's work has been extended to cover penal institutions and corrective schools under direction of the Youth Conservation CommiS' sion. Two of these institutions have fulltime chaplains and a third has two part-time chaplains. Work of the chaplains includes interviews with those new patients assigned to tie institutions, regular church services at which attendance is voluntary; religious instruction a individual counseling and the establishment and continuance of contacts with The chaplaincy committee maintains overall supervision of the activities of all chaplains. Rev.

Oswald Volz of St. Paul, committee chairman, says that the present accomplishments of his group constitute a good beginning. "Congregations, to which these highly qualified men minister in our institutions, are too large," Rev. Volz said. "We need additional chaplains, so that each may have time to give individual attention where it is needed.

"Our present goal is to have at least two fulltime chaplains in every mental hospital and penal institution." Governor C. Elmer Anderson, speaking of the committee's work, commented: "Minnesota can well be proud of the state chaplaincy program. The committee's work has full approval of the state administration. It has made a splendid contribution to our self-imposed obligation to solve the mental health problem."

It might be a good idea to put a government bounty on them right now, or there won't be an ear in the land kit unbent. As a people we have always had an outspoken admiration for the gift of gab. But the idea used to be that the gab had to be good.

That noble standard of criticism has gone the way of vaudeville. Today listening to after dinner speakers has become a form of sinass self-punishment. In Europe people still go to a hotel or restaurant for the food. But here? The price of the entree is no longer determined by what they put on your plate. It's determined by the fee of vocal chords rented for the occasion to deliver "A Message of Importance to Us All." Cultural Savago I hale to be counted as a cultural savage, but sometimes wouldn't it be quaint and old-fashioned and good clean harmless fun to go to a dinner where everybody just traded conversation and enjoyed a real meal--and skipped the message? Why do they have to skimp on the menu to provide the inevitable ear message? Must the ice cream always be followed by a dismal lecture on "The Perils of the Brave Petunias in Patagonia?" or a (lashing lady wild life slayer telling how, all alone in Africa, she survived the head-on charge of a maddened herd of antlered grouse? This growing willingness of the public to sit in slack jawed, glazed eyed paralysis, trying at the same time to digest a limp hunk of lamb and a cliche studded oration, has created a new entertainment industry.

This is the business of supplying after dinner speakers. It is a cash corn crop that rivals the value of the crop grown in the fields to fatten livestock. In the few years dozens of lecture agencies have sprouted up that keep stables of after dinner speakers on call and they range from bird imitators to S. senators.

Then they got down to discussion (lower photo) of a wide field of problems in the transfer of the government from one administration to another. After meeting for one hour and 16 minutes they issued a joint announcement of "unofficial" co-operation which will "be of great value to the stability of our country and to the favorable progress of international affairs."

KWNO A American Broadcasting Company someone ready and waiting in a tux and black bow tie to fly by plane to tell you after dinner. The fee ranges from to $1,500 or more, depending on the rating of the professional ear-bender, and the crucial nature of his message. "Anybody who can do anything today can earn money as an after dinner speaker," one lady man' ager told me. "I met a fellow at a party recently who happened to mention he had just grown an orchid on his refrigerator. I signed him up at once.

You'd be amazed how many people in this country have secretly yearned all their lives to grow an orchid on a refrigerator--and never realized it before." But the real reason so many folks will suffer through after dinner speeches is They figure if they listen to enough of them somebody will get around to inviting them to make an after dinner speech, too. Then they will get a chance to deliver their message. what man today doesn't have more messages in his soul than Western Union? Hibbing Village Trustee Accused HIBBING', Minn, UP) John Spanish, village trustee currently on trial for official irregularities, won renomination to that office in the Hibbing primary Tuesday. He polled 1,841 votes against the 826 counted by Gladys Dandsey, his opponent for the Dec. 9 final election.
