WHITBY and DISTRICT Manager: Lloyd Robertson Whitby Bureau Office: 111 Dundas St. West Tel. MO. 8-3703 INITIATION FASHIONS A host of boys and girls entering Whitby's two high schools have by now survived their greatest ordeal, barring examinations.

At school closing, "offenders" were required to roll peanuts around the gymnasium and other menial tasks assigned | by seniors. Shown above are Jack Hamer, left, dressed as a girl, and Peggy Holliday. The festivities ended on a happy note with all. students attending their first school dance. --Oshawa Times Photo AT KIWANIS CLUB Psychiatry History Is Speaker's Topic A subject of more than pass-| ing interest' was discussed at} this week's dinner meeting of| the Kiwanis Club at the Hotel) Royal when Dr. W. Webber, superintendent of the Ontario| Hospital recalled the history of} psychiatry. The Whitby Kiwanis | for the past four years have been making regular visits to) the patients at that hospital in eperation Remotivation. Dr. Weber said that psy- chiatry has a history older than that of recorded history. Even in Biblical readings, people were reported to have been wa sessed of demons which had to} be cast out. In the Dark Ages, he said, thousands of persons were burn- ed at the stake, for society then believed that witches and others possessed of demons had to be) destroyed. As late as 1691, he} said, 150 people were burned at the stake in Salem, Mass. Although this attitude seems, incredible, said Dr, Weber, it) was an attitude which perme-} ated the intellectual population. The inquisition, he said, was) often run by the judiciary and} the high orders of the church. | FIRST CHANGE ; MENTAL ILLNESS |ed to a training so rigorous tha In some cases, he said, pa- tients who were simply removed) from their usual problems and environment did recover. | Dr. Weber quoted from the} annual report of the Hartford) Retreat, a privately operated! hospital in 1852. The report lis-| ed some of the reasons for ad-| mission anc. these included in- temperance, intense application to business, use of tobacco and tight lacing. | Turning his attention to some of the causes of mental illness, Dr. Weber said that. "if we apply. enough stress, long enough, and severe enough, per- haps anyone will break down."| As an example, he told the story of the U.S. Marine Corps in World War II. Most of its} members, he said, were primar- | ily civilians. They volunteered) for the corps and were subjec | t in some cases investigations} were made by higher author-| ities. | Despite the severity of the} Opening Meet Of Whithy UCW opening fall meeting of the United Church Women was held in the Assembly Hall of the United Church, Whitby on Tuesday at 8 p.m. The president Mrs. H, T.

The situation is reversible, he said, and it appears that the later in life they occur, the more hopeful medicine is that it ca.. be cured. The earlier the} breakdown occurs, he said, the more malignant it may become. Dr. Weber reported that about 40 per cent of patients enter- ing mental hospitals are schizo- phrenics, a malady which strikes adolescents and even smail children. He said that these people lack the ability to adjust to social life, are unable to make decisions and afraid to venture out on their own. He said that it has been found that many of these patients stayed by themselves as chil- dren, later became surly and impulsive. Many of these pa- tients, he said, have been in hospital 20 or 30 years and have now flattened out in be- haviour to the point that life is now just three meals a day. They have no drive left.

For many patients, he said, it ap. pears that for them to be aware that someone cares about them is sufficient to get them on the road to recovery.
