W h a t is required to cure a n d care for patients provides the m i n i m u m s t a n d a r d t h a t must be applied to hospital costs, classification, salaries, personnel. The Craig Colony Chapter of the Association of S t a t e Civil Service Employees h a s performed a valuable service in reporting on the needs and conditions of the great experiment in curing epileptics— which is Craig Colony. Many conditions are found to be unsatisfactory and the needs for improvement of patient care and of plant a n d for increased personnel are urgent. [See p. 1.] Enough information h a s come to t h e iayman to convince h i m t h a t the wartime increase of epilepsy can be met by new treatments. He is convinced t h a t epilepsy can be greatly reduced f r o m t h e present h i g h incidence to a point probably below the pre-war level, and t h a t a large proportion of the u n f o r t u n a t e victims of this ancient scourge of m a n k i n d can be returned to a useful and happy life. The People of the S t a t e a,re demanding in ever larger numbers t h a t new medical knowledge be put t o use promptly a n d t h a t plans be made ready for the possible and probable cures of tomorrow. LARGE PROGRAM IS ESSENTIAL Drugs alone, unfortunately, are not enough. A large program of medical and nursing care is essential and this m e a n s trained a n d efficient techicians throughout the vast plant of the Colony. Such a staff includes doctors, nurses, attendants, teachers, occupational therapists, farmers, dietitians, medical stenographers and a multitude of other employees. How m u c h remains to be done to make t h e Colony operate a t high efficiency for the cure of t h e Inmates is made •clear in the study by the Association Chapter. The staff is too limited. Shortages compel some people to do work for which they were n o t appointed and are not qualified. Discontent and low morale is engendered by lack of personnel, shortage of nurses, by overwork, underpay, long working hours, discriminations, faulty classification, low salary rates, etc. All these things need prompt attention Your President is convinced t h a t a fair f a c t u a l s t a t e m e n t such as this, based on actual current conditions, is of real value to t h e officials charged with ultimate responsibility for these conditions a n d their failure to serve a stricken people.

Buckley, Elmira 80000 ALBANY, Aug. 27—The serious situation under which prices of necessary commodities a n d services are out of reach of so many State employees is recfiiving serious consideration of t h e Association of S t a t e Civil Service Employees. T h e S a l a r y Committee of t h e Association recently expressed grave concern over S t a t e workers' inability to meet rising living costs and t h e plight has become worse since then. Real Wages Going Down A report by C h a i r m a n Charles M. Armstrong of this committee included t h e following s t a t e m e n t : "Real wages are going down a n d going down fast. I t will be eight m o n t h s before S t a t e employees can hope for any wage a d j u s t m e n t t h r o u g h the Appropriation Act." Living costs are now higher t h a n in J u n e last year. This represents a c u t in real wages (purchasing power of money received). T h e increase in wholesale prices has been reflected in retail prices and this brings a f u r t h e r reduction in real wages. There is little hope of an a d j u s t m e n t through present appropriations before next April. T h e committee c h a i r m a n said: "There is an election in November, a n d candidates should now go on record as to what relief measures they will advocate a n d support. Sliding Scale Needed "Last year t h e administration did not approve the full protection urged by the State workers. If the automatic cost-of-living a d j u s t m e n t bill h a d been passed last year the workers would not now be facing a f u r t h e r cut in real wages. Instead they would be receiving or about to receive an increase in pay equal to t h e increase in t h e cost of living. " T h e s h a r p uprush in prices is just a sample of w h a t may h a p pen repeatedly in t h e m o n t h s a n d years ahead. T h e S t a t e workers heed a n automatic cost-of-living a d j u s t m e n t law." T h e S t a t e Association Salary Committee is composed of Mr. Armstrong, c h a i r m a n ; Mildred M.

I n a letter to t h e Board of Transportation, the Commission stated: "The Commission h a s recently considered the case of Martin Hyland, appointed to t h e Board of Transportation on April 26. 1937. Mr. Hyland had previously worked for the B M T from 1927 until April 25, 1937, and came into the City service as t h e result of an open-competitve examination for turnstile maintalner on April 25, 1937. In computing his mark for seniority and record for the promotion examination to assistant foreman (turnstiles), he was only credited with service since April 26, 1937. "The" Commission at its meeting of August 20 decided that any person who entered t h e New York City Transit System within one year after separation from the I R T or B M T should be entitled to claim record a n d seniority credit for continuous service. "Undoubtedly there are m a n y other employees of t h e IND System who were employed by the IRT and B M T Systems prior to entrance into City service by open-competitive examination. It is the request of this Commission that you canvass employees in your department who may be eligible for a recomputation of their record and seniority in accordance with the policy stated above. No applications for recomputation of seniority will be received from persons in this category after February 28, 1947."

Since the subject was out of bur field, we were, about to turn it down when we became intrigued with the very first liw pages.The more we read; the more fascinated we became. Before we knew it, we were sending the manuscript around for expert opinions. Immediately the excitement started. "Where has Lenihan been all my life?" "Lenihan's ."bet insurance' ideas arc the shrewdest horse-sense on racing I have ever run across." "Lenihan's rules are eye-openers!" "Look her«, you've got to publish this book.

Recommendations We believe our claims t o be s u b stantiated and therefore make the following c o m m e n t s : 1. Care of t h e individual p a t i e n t is g r e a t e s t need in S t a t e hospitals. 2. T h e s e a i m s c a n only be a c complished by adequate, efficient, well p a i d satisfied personnel. 3.
