At a meeting of 32 representatives
of various Lexington social agencies
Friday afternoon at the Y. W. C. An
recommendation was made that the
state welfare department take steps
to improve educational standards at
the Kentucky Houses of Reform.

Miss Carolyn Stewart, of the Fay-
ette county welfare department,
chairman of the council’s project
committee, named 10 persons to
work toward securing more adequate
library facilities for both boys and
girls at the reform school.

Named by Miss Stewart to serve
on the committee were Mrs. Ham-
mond Dugan, chairman; Miss Lena
Nofcier, Frankfort, head of library
extension; Eric McElfresh of the
Lexington WPA office; Mrs. Waller
O. Bullock, member of the board
of trustees of the Lexington Public
Library; Miss Carrie Hunt, acting

librarian of the Lexington Library; .

Col. D. Y. Dunn, Fayette county
superintendent of schools; Miss Mar-
garet I. King, University of Ken-
tucky librarian; Miss Susan Miller,
librarian at Henry Clay high school;
Miss Nan Lacy, supervisor of ele-
mentary education in the Lexington
public schools, and Mrs. Frank L.
McVey. -

Principal speaker for the meeting
was Dr. S. D. Vestermark, psychir-
atrist with the field studies in mental
hygiene for the U. S. Public Health
Service.

The speaker explained that during
the past two years, his division has
offered diagnostic and consultive
service for clients of the local social
agencies. Of approximately 1,000 per-
sons referred for examination dur-
ing that time, it was discovered
that approximately 95 per cent were
border—line cases that had not yet
reached the stage of'mental break-
down, Dr. Vestermark declared.

It is possible that many of those
950 individuals might have, been
benefitted if the community had a
pre—arranged and co-ordinated pro-
gram among social agencies to give
such mentally maladjusted individ-
uals the proper treatment, he con-
tinued.

If,- for example, the social agencies

had been able to place mental suf- ‘

ferers where they might be sub-
jected to the advantages of recrea-
tional facilities and vocational train-
ing. it is possible that a large num—
ber of those afflicted might have
been cured, Dr. Vestermark stated.

A co-ordinated program between
social agencies could make it pos-'
sible for those border—line cases to
receive help before negative habits
have been established within each
of the individuals, he declared.

The Rev. Father George O’Bryan
chairman of the council, presided
Kove‘r the meeting.

Problem Solved
- What to do with old safety razo
blades is a problem of long stand ..
mg. I haven’t any solution for’
that, but I do know what you can?
do with all those old books and:
magazines you uncovered during :,
spring .housecleaning. Telephone .'
1329-X, and-the Fayette Countyi
Free Circulatin’iLibrary will send
for them. Iti-—ean use several
hundred old mat—games a week, at
the Eastern State hospital, the Re-‘-
form School, or the nine‘frural sta-i
tions it maintains in the county. Ai
magazine two or three years old is
good reading if you'haven’t seen it
before, and the demand is so~ great
the library always is hard pressed
to keep a supply on hand.
