This 72nd Annual Report of the operation of the Hospital. pHyslcAIpLAnl The physical plant, especially the older structures, continues to require considerable expenditure to keep it functioning satlsfactorlly. The newer units require but a minimum of mainterrance. Newstruc tur e S The new Administration Building continues to present a serious problem with heating. Work vas completed on the new staff residence and this new home is very satlsfactory. No new building was started dur1ng this year. EsttrqqIres,Ne.I? There continues to be a need for addltlonal housing for medical staff . The four family residence, which vas reported last year as being old and in poor repair, is one year olde" There continues to b a need for a unit for mentally ill children. The need for a chapel continues. A survey regarding remodeling or replacement of the old adminlstratlon btillding was completed but no further action vas taken on this project. RELEPEL.pepTpxpLngTLapTpiHpp A new Bitter proctologlc examlnlng table was purchased and placed ln operation and has proved to be a saving in expenditure of personnel time and has added to the eff iciency of the department of sur.gery. Also purchased were the following Rh Blood Typing View Box, Stangl Microtometray, and Tissue Flotation Bath, for use in the Laboratory Artif lcial Respiration Pump and Electric Stlmulator, for use in the Electroencephalogram Departments Mobile Aspirator for use ln Building trl and Wangensteen Suction System for tise in the Operatlng Room. PERSONNEL Not only did there continue to be a clef inlte and drastic shortag of personnel in an areas, but due to lack of available money, the total nufroer of employees in the hospital was further decreased. The position of Director of Research and Training was establishef and Dr. Curtis W.

At the end of the year, the census was 73 males and 23 females with a total of 96. Although the census of this 106 bed urllt was comparatively small at the beginning and ending of the year, the beds were filled during most of the entire year. However, at the end of the year, a large group of patients were in the process of beingransferred both to and from the Tuberculosls Unit. Durin the year there were 75 patlents admitted to the Tuberculosis Unit ifemalesand6057 patientsL6malesandlhfemales)dlsmissed. males 18 During the course of the year, patients from all of the mental hosPltaLls, except the Kalamazoo State Hospital, were transfer.red to and from the Tuberculosis Unit, with plans being made at the close of the year for transfer of patients from Kalama8oo. By the process of a Cour't Order lt was possible to admit two patients fr.om the Ionia State Tuberculosis Unit and 12 deaths for a total of 72 patients leaving the Tuberculosis Unit. The chart shows the number of patients that were present in a Tuberculosis Unit, with the transfers to and fr.om the unit, separated as to the hospital of their or'iginatlon. The end of the year saw a larger group of patients present in the Tuberculos1s Unit from Newberry, Pontiac, and Ypsilanti State Hospltals, as well as Lapeer State Hospital. By taking this larger group of patients, it was pos slble to close the active Tuberculosis Unit at the Pontiac arid Newberry State Hospitals. The Ypsilanti State Hospital continues to show patients on thelr tuberculosis wards, since this hospital continues to r'eceive a large gr'oup of patients from the Detroit area and the Sanatorium ln that vicinity. The number of patients in the Tuberculosis Unit from the Traverse City State Hospital was largest with a total of 32 patients. However, 11 of these patients were admlssions from State Sanatoria and VA Hospitals. There were 12 deaths during the year 1 n the TuberLciilosl,s UniL Four of these deaths were listed as being due to tuberculos1s with this disease being the under1ylng cause of their. death. Two of these patients died following surgical procedure for their. tuberculous condition, while the other 2 explred shortly after having been admitted with far advarreed reslstent strains of tuberculosis. It should be noted that there were 515 gastric lavages for the purpose of culturing material for acid fast bacilli. During the year a program for the replacement of blood used f or transfusions during the surgical procedures was started in cooperatlon Page 10 .Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 with the local Red Cross Chapter and with the Red Cross Chapters at Muskegon and Lanslng With thls program, we have been able to replace a nufroer of the units of blood that was requlred to be used during the surgical procedur'es. It should also be noted that there has been a rather marked increase in the X ray interpretations made at this unit during the past year', with the addition of the active participation of the Kalamagoo and Ionia State Hospitals in the Central Tuberculosts Control Program. A total of 3158 chest X rays wer'e interpreted on patients who are listed on the Centr'al Register. and a total of 3603 chest X rays nterpreted on patients from the various hospitals who are not listed on the Central Register. There has continued to be mor'e interest placed on the tuberculos1s program from all of the participating hospitals, with the ]alamazoo State Hospital being added to the program Thr.oughout the year, all of the hospitals in the Ceritral Tuberculosis Coutrol Program were visited by the Director of Tuberculosls. LABQE4.TQBIESi Clinical Laboratory A total of 15,h85 procedures were carried out. Pa tho I ogy Our surgical speclmens are examined ln this department by a certlf led pathologist.

This includes hath in patients and out patients.lh2500 was collected and submitted to the Accounting Department this year for BEG.s done on private out patients. Lectur.es were given to each class of student nurses regarding the pr'1nciples of EEC. The same lecture ves given to two attendant nurse classes. Eight one hour lectur'es were given to the f lrst year psychiatrlc residents regarding varLious aspects of electroencephalography. A demonstration on television regarding technique and diagnosis of the electroencephalogram was presented on July 30th over the local television station. In October, 1957 we installed an Edin Spectrum Analyzer and since that time have been analyglng all records. A new office and laboratory Page 11 il in ffi i jI , .RE I i .t i g art G. i i, rmdf . a rf I tqj Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 room area was r'emodeled and completed in Aprf I, 1958. Air conditlonlng equipment has been ordered and lt is anticipated that this will grteatly enhance the validity of the Egg records. From July i, 1957 to November 11, 1957 there was a technician and a technician in tralning working ln the department. From November t , I L I , 11 until June 23, 1958 onl one technician was employed in the de partment. From June 23, 19f8 to August 15, 1958, Gordon Wilcox is to be n the department, being paid oat ofr6seaicfi funds ona a niac i basis. His assistance is to permit the completion of an analeptlc study. A research project ls in progress in which we are evaluating the effectiveness, and central nervous system response, of various ana1eptlcs and tranquilizing drugs. This study 1s on the cat brain and the response is recorded on the BEG. We ar.e plannf ng a study in the human, using various drugs and evaluating any change in the br'ain with the analyzed BEG. A certain amount of the preliminary wor'k for this project has been done this ye a I . RESEARCH Previous to July, 1957, research funds were handled in a separate account. Resear.ch funds have now been depos1ted with the State Treasurer and procedures consistent with the routines as outlined by the Department of Administration are observed. A Dlrector of Research was appointed ln September 1957, who is responslble for the coordlrration of all hospital research and ls Chairman of the Research Colnmittee. This Committee was abpointed in October 1957, and is charged with the responslbllity of suggesting needed research, stlmulatlng staff member.s to lnitlate and carry through research, appraising every research project involving the hospital and giving their approval or disapproval thereof, obtalnlng consultants when needed and authorizing the use of all research funds. The Colrmi.ttee has appraised on going research projects in the hospital and has considered and given approval for five additional projects Of these five, thr have been initl3ed and are ongoingi while two are awaltlng outcome of grant appilcatlons.tl Files have been established and are maintained on each project.

The names of three applicants were submitted to the Smith, Kline and French Foundation Fellowship Cozrmlttee resulting ln the offer of two stipend grants. These grants could not be accepted due to the lnablllty of the applicants to complete arrangements to join us and we had no further applicants who were qualified senior medical Studentso AS of June 30, 1958, we have five psychiatrlc residents, two of which are starttlng their first year tr.ainlng and three who have comalthough of year. these Three three of are the on fzrmlgratlon vlsas, while the rei1eted the two f lr.st ivg ar.g foreign citizens malning two are U. a. citizens Plans for the future ln general involve enhancement of the pro sg rbPa bI f ?Pr°Val al though the latter depends NUBS ING SERVICES 6 idiha sigisisusisscssii" nursing care prLeblems and progr.am plarming ln the car'e of patients are the usual agenda MDnthly supervisors meetings of registered nurses and attendant "rses are held to discuss pertinent lnformatlon fr.om Bepartment Head and Medical Staff meetings, p 11cles and proce dupes peculiar to our hospital and patient centered problems. Selected professional nursing personnel are given the opportunity to develop greater supervisory skills in order to direct the nan professlonal nurs1ng staff and thus enhance patient care. The halls and cottages housing male patients are gradually being brought under more direct pr'ofess1onal nurse super'vislon Much progress has been made in this area and male attendant nurse suprvlsors ln the Nurslng Office are assuming more responsibllltles not calling for the skllls of a professional nurse. When the pos1tlon ls filled for an Associate Blrector, Nur'sing Service, more direct supervision will be made available to the present attendants ln the nursing office. Negotiations are being completed to obtain a psychiatrically oriented Masterls degree prepar'ed nurse in this position. In the middle of July, a well qualified nurse will join the hospital nursing staff as the Associate Director. This has been a year of transition. With the additlon of new personnel 1n the Nur.sing AdmlnistrLatlon and Nurs1ng Education at tempts are being made to place greater emphasis on therapeutic care of the mentally ill patients rather than perpetuating the custodial orlentaLtlon. As one result of this, many personnel are involved ln a pilot project which ls an outgrowth of a requ'est of male attendaLnt Page 18 . Traver'se City Annual Report 1957 1958 nurse staff on one of the overactlve wards. This pilot study concerns the establishment of a ward patient council. Currently a survey of the literature is being done along with the design of the study being ln process. Better interpersonal relationships are being stressed, resultlng ln attempts on the part of nursing personnel to work with Small groups of patients, besides having an awareness of the to.tal patient population housed on their respective halls or coLtages Another of the bulld ng5 hotislng male patients ls now an open cottage during daytime hour.so The standardi ation of nursing procedures thr.oughout the hospitali ln order to render better nursing ear'e and to famlllar'1ze personnel with current concepts fn psychiatric nur's1ng has materialized Somewhat, with monthly classes being available. Some of these classes in part are the I.esults of introdticlng nursing techniques and procedures in a psychiatric orientation and approach to patients in performing nursing services. The introduction of new charting forms. in essence the composlte of many indLvldual charts for all patients, increased Interest and responsibility of all nursing p rsonnel to chart on the patlentts records, are but some of the activitles In nurs1ng serviceApart frtm direct nurs1ng ther.e are many projects ln which nur.$1ng personnel ar'e involved. Research 1s but one ar'ea, as was mentioned with the pilot pr'oject of a Patient Ward Council. Many members of the staff are participating in investigating the clinical actlvlty of medications being administered to the hospltalizd patlents. There is a professional nurse on the planning committee of soiyciairegigf8rsg?iisPipnoitah The Director of Nurslng Education 1s a member of the Library Cornmlttee. It has been through her efforts and the lnterest of fellow committee members that thereD are am lncrasing mimber of books related to psychatric nursing available. The library itself, now as a centr.al unit for all reading marterials, rather than apart from facilities for priofessional nursing students, has been attracting more nurses and attendants. There ls also nurs1ng representation on the Civil Defense planning cottmlttee. Plans are to involve rLursing personnel ln organlged functions of nursing in Civil Defense preparedness ln the event of f ire or other dlsaster The Dlr.ector of Nursing and Director of Nurs1ng Education have both taken part in the orlentatlon program for the Grey Ladies volunteering their services at the hospital. Both nurses have also had eccaslon to address groups of pastor.S of the Ministerial Association visltlng our hospitalized patients. Page 19 ill iBg,'iiST ,.ri i,t i Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 The Dlrector of Nut.Sing was an Instructor and D1scussant at a series of f ive two day Workshops on "Psychiatric Nurs1ng". conducted at the Narthville Shale Hospital. The Workshops were sponsored 3hh8oggrofent pg3sadtSgrrNe esFour Was other nurses from Nursing Service and Nursing Education were par1cipants ln the Wor'kshBp. In teeeping with the revislori of the "urse Practice Act with the introduction of the law providing for licensure for qualified psychiatric attendant nurses, a professional psycriiatrlc nurse must serve on the Boar.a of Nurslng.

The professlonal t"rslng Student program mag shortened to a 12 week period. The schooLS sending stwdents rernained the same. The breakdown of the number. is as follows Sept.1957 Dec.1957 march,1958 June,1958 Butterworth 57 11 11 Edward W. Sparrow Highland park General Total JL 21 1 making a total of lola students. During the period the curriculum was completely rewritten. Greater emphasis has been placed on Small discusslon groups. Meetings have been held each quarter with repr.esentatlves of the sendlng school8. Dtiring these meetlngs, the backgrourid cotirses for the psychlatr1c experience, the psychiatric currlcultim and the progress of the students have been dlscussedt The agreements between this agency and the sending schools were revised this year as usual. B1 weekly meetings are held with the lnstr.uctors and head nurses to evaluate the progress of the Students and r'eview the pr'oblems concerning the applicaLtion tf theory to clinical practice Page 20 Traverse City Annual Repor.t 1957 1958 and the lqiprovement of ar.gas for clinical experience. The areas used for gxper'1ence have been reduced from three to two areas of six weeks experience on each. This has allowed the Student to more effectively study the formation and conti"ation of a 'r.elatonship. The plans for the future include morg study of all areas of the hospltal to make available wards for student exper'ince on which ther'esa less rapid turnover of patients, thereby allowing for morg lntensve nurs1ng care. It is planned that a more effective tool for evaluation of the clinical eperignce will be formulatgd There is also need for more individual supervision and teaching of the students. We do not plan to increase the pr'ogram in the near future, but antlclpate the ting when there will be adequately prepared teaching and supervisory personnel and clinical areas so that the number of students may be sizeably increased. The ln service educational program for the attendants has continued. An orientation program has b,gen planned for the newly employed person. The six months in service program has been in pro gress with 32 attendants completing the cour'se ln the past year, f lfteen are at present in the pr'ogram The curriculum for the course has been started and it is hoped that this will bg completed n the near future. An educational program to lntrodtice the entire nursing staff to the revised procedures has been started This is called the Procedure of the Month. Four classes of one hour length are held, enabling all per.sornel to attend. The topics covered and the number of persans attending are as follows Procedure of Month Date Title No. attended Marchj 1958 Transfer of patients h66 Undrstandlng patients ,L62 May 1958 Br eakd own i9 June, 1958 Char ting 453 Apt.1l,1958 A class ln how to use the library was held for 58 attendants and persons from other departments. This class attempted to encour'age interested persons ln reading and withdrawing books. The circulation of volumes hale increased and more interest is being shorn. In the library try both the professional and non professional staff . In conjunction with this a bibliography mag prepared to assist the attendant in f lnding rmterlal dealing with various nursing pr'oblems. Page 21 Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 This could also be used by attendants preparing for the llcensure exaninaton as a suggested reading list. Weekly educational meetings have been held with the graduate nurses. Reports of meetngs and conferences attended are reviewed. Plans were made f or continuing classes concerned with psychiatr.ic nur.Sing skills. Harrlet handler, R.N.

However, these activlties were lnaugerated y the Director of Community Relations Department be for.e thls epartment was officially A I designated by Civil Service, and the activiti es have been contlnued under this department for lack of better ar'rangements. Burfng the year, the Community Relations Director spoke to seventyslx dlfferent and varied gr'oups these would include PTAts, Farm Bureau groups, civic organizations, schools and colleges, chur'ches and so forth. An Increased inter.est ln Traverse City State Hospital and lt$ 1Arork ln the field of the care and treatment of the mentally Ill has been noted ln the last thro or three years. Colnlnunlty Relations Department liltes to think that a fair proportion of this interest is due to the efforts of this department in dlssemlnating information regarding the hospital and its work Interest, on the part of ccrmunlty groups, 1n the hospltal has been manifested partially by the nunbgr of tours. Burlng the i lscal year, thir.ty f lve such tour.s wer'e Provided Page 26Traverse City Annual Report 195? 1958 to a variety of groups for a total of well over a thousand persons. The number of tours included here dogs not include tours provided for our National Mental Health Week Open House or our Christmas Open House The Community Relations Department has made definite efforts to e8aagafoSyunSditnge3sgi[fgscfi8Se ae ties were provided by outside groups for patients on our wards and cottages. These were birthday parties, special day parties, etc. One of our very busy activltles coming under the direction of the Cofzmunlty Relations Department 1s the prtint shop This shop provides many many hours of important therapy activlLles fort patients. twent three patients have benef ited by this patient a.ctlvity. Better than per cent of all hospital prirLtlng 1sflone in this department. Much of the weak ls for'ms used by the hospital for years and has been done on paper furnished by paper manufacturers at no cost to the instltutlon. At the present time we have f lve presses of varf ous slzes, a very good assortment of type, an automatic punch press with an assortment of dies and cutters, and many other pieces of equipment and Supplies that have been donated to us by interested indlvlduals. The Community Relations Department was very haLppy this year to have been instrumental 1n contactlng Butterf leld Theater Corporation of Michigan after our projector equipment had failed to the point wherLe repairs were no longer possible, As a result of contacts with16,GOO worth of riSietewEt 18 gpg projectors CQmplete with retlfiefs, lenses and all necessary sound equipment, some of which imas rebuilt at the companyls expense to fit Our speclflc needs here at the hospltal Our projector booth was enlarged to house the equipment, and we are now presenting some of the very flnest movies, 1ncludlng clnemascope. In response to our appeals, thousands of pieces of clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, games, arts and crafts supplies, etc„ were received by the hospltal for the benefit of pall.ents. At Christmas time, approximately six thousand new Christmas gif ts were received and wrapped by the Gray Ladles and sent to the various wards for patients who otherwise would have gone unremembered. Approximately fifteen hundred of our three thousand patients fall into the category of the "forgotten peoplet', or those indlvidtals whowould not be I.emembered by members of their families or friends. In Februar'y, 1957 a very interesting and hopefully bereflclal music therapy program was begun Following a workshop under the dlrectlon of the State Federation of Music Clubs with Michigan State Unlverslty consultants here at the hospital, the program was set up in Such a way that approximately six to eight members from Cadillac Phllharmonlc Club and a compar.able rmmber from the Traverse City Page 27 Traverse city Annual Report 1957 1958 Muslcale would appear each month at the hospital to provide a music therapy program. From February until the end of the f iscal year eighty such sess1ons were pr.ovided on as many wards. In addition, two pr.ofessional piano teachers gave two hundred and thirty private piano lessons. In April another war.kshop was held to further discuss the development of this particular activity. The Community Relations Department made arrangements dur.1ng the National Cherry Festival to have concerts, parades etc pr'esented S the hospltal for patients who could nat get downtown. Three outstanding grDups made appearances The U S. Havy Great Lakes Naval Training Station Band presented a cancer.i CDchrants Majorettes from Ohio gave an outstanding concert and drill and on the last day of the festival, a caravan of sixty valuable antique automobiles paraded to the hospital par.king lot and remained on display so the patients might have le oppor'tunity to see these automobiles and to ask questions about them. of one hundred and sixty seven hours each month to the hospital. apprige t 3a thygi gr eg enSuan i Bed adult tours throughout the lnstitutlon and on Saturday, May 3, entertained five hundred and ten, four to fourteen year old children, who toolt part ln the First Annual Fishing Derby on the hospital grounds. On this same day the creek, which has been known by more than a don thnggeei 3 gSitK8Sr a. 3fiiyoa a3f i Supervisors, the Mayor and members of the county who judged the creek naming contest, took part ln the program of re dedication. In addition to the cash awards which were given to the three patgnts econd, ri submlttlng the best three ramgs for the creeit, for the f i who and thlrdaward 123 prizes were given to as many boys and took part in the f lshlng derby. Another arrangement that comes under the direction of the Community Relations De'partmeut is the chaplainls activities. Since the hospital does not have a regularly employed chaplain, 1t ls rlecessary for us to depend upon local and area ministers to fill the need in this particular area. The Community Relations Department arranged for and conducted a chaplainls woritshop. Chaplain Ballenger. of the University of Michigan wias the main speaker and discussion leader and Page 8Traver.Se City Annual Report 1957 1958 a very prLof ltable day iAras provided twenty one of the ministers. These chaplalns at the time, d8cfdd to spend four afternoons each week ln the institution. They elected cme of their members to act as the coordinator and a very satisfactory arrangement has been achieved During the fiscal year, twelve separ'ate T programs were presented on WPBN TV, us1ng many members of the hospital staff in presenting to the public various phases of the hospital program. Writing material for daily and weekly nevyspapers, some arttlcles for professional publicat,lens, etc„ is another of the r'espons1blli ties of the Community R1ations Department. We must continually strive to keep before the public that kind of mater'ial which increases knowledge of and interest in the care and treatment of the mentally ill. Many news items were produced including educational materials, items of local interest outlining the various programs and endeavors of the lnstltutlon, and at times notif led the ptiblic of retiring of men atid women who have given the best years of their lives in the service of Traverse City State Hospital. Thousands of pieces of mall were sent out in appeals for Chrlstnas gifts, special rgquests 1n behalf of our patients, many letters of srmpattry, condolances, get well wishes, and letters of thanks which go out each time a gift is receved. Many r'equests for liter'ature Come to this office concerning the care and treatment of the mentally ill. These are always filled to the best of our abllltyo Colnmunlty Relations Department ls ln the process of setting up a photograph file which ls fast becoming one of the real points of interest. Photographs are used fort many different purposes some being used for display during National Mental Health Week or at Nor'thwesterLn Michigan Fair some wer[e sent to publications for use in conjunction with news articles others wet.a used in the hospital lobby to better acquaint citizens with the hospital procedures some wer'e used far training ptirposes. Several hundred photographs of various have been taken and we have a rather sizable and important fll fp8s x 10 material on hand at a momentls notice. Often these items are used ln our TV presentations. In some instances they have been loaned i8haa hnde g ugfthfp3P ?1e° IEC. slldes and have many of these complete at the pr'esent time. During the year, the hospital was requested to send representatlves to one high school career day and three high School goverrm.ent day prograLms. Under recreation actlvlties, in addition to the eighty f Eve parties provided on mar]y of our wards throughout the year, the Community Relations Department also made arrangements for a special teacher of square dancing to teach several classes during the summer months , Page 29Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 As we move forward into the second year of the existence of the Community Relations Depar'tment, we do so with the understanding that r.esponslbllities are bound to become greater and greater and that it whll either necessitate providing additional per.sonnel for this par.tlcular. depar'tment or to elininate some of the activities that now fall under. its drectlon. grELHoLQgLPEp4iBorLRTH The activities of the Psychology Depar.tment were divided between psychodiagnosis, therapy, lectures and research. Other responsibilities were carried for Jour.nat Club administratton and in the Journal Club, resear.ch, library, and mental health week commltfees. The number of psychologists on duty was four, on educational leave, one. There were 80 hours of lectures presented during the year 21 to the f irst year residents ln paychiatry, 18 to the nurses and nursing students. and trl to other profess1onal or community groups. Preliminary worlt was done on organizing a r'esear'ch project involving the development of a comprehensive, multilingual annotated blbllography on schlzophr'enia. Foundation financing for this project has not been obtained. Research ln process included the development ne3toe5segmggeaogysjasag gig Chlatrsts, and ministers for their Significance in the evaluation of mental health attitudes. Close agreement was obtalngd between all of the crlterian judges. Prelinitrary testing was car.ried out with two groups of high school seniors and a group of similar age from one Church orgarLization, Next steps in standar'dlzation will involve use of the scale with various clinical groups, particular1y rellgious paranoids then eventually with candidates for rellglous vocatlons. Indlvldual psychotherapy involved 9ld hours for the year, 736 with ln patients and 208 with out patients. Fifty one group therapy sessions were held with in patient adolescent bnys. and gir'ls. in.paEF Shtg8ttmgt3tnr°innsim3rBys The nature of the tests given was as follows Intelligence tests 386S Personality tests .11.1.9 ghlgsS,ais2gr2a.

The tine of testing for in patierlts fs usually during the f irst month after hospital admlsslon. Selected referrals are made by the psychatrists on the two admission services. Page 30 Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 The Journal Club, Which has been an admlnistrative responsibllity of the Psychology Department Since August 1951, now has an inter'discl pllnary steering committee to establish polly and help maintain closer contact with the varied areas of interest, STAFF LIBRARYs In October 1957 a Staff Llbrar.y Committee composed of represen tatlves of major areas 1n the hospital was appointed by the Medical Superintendent with the Director of Research and Tralnlng as Chairman of the Committee. Previous to this, the Director of the psychology Department had functiongd as coordinator of the library. It has been the duty of the Committee to formulate pollcles and procedures, Order books and journals, determine needs for and.order other equipment, and generally supervise the funetloning of the Staff Library. PoLlcle3 and pr.ocedures for the use of the library were determined and circulated to personnel in February, 1958. These included drectlons for obtaining des 'ed books and jaur'nals, loan ar.rangements, pr.ocedure on overdue books and details of inter library loan service, An inter library loan relationshi was establlshed with North western Michigan College in March, 195i. and we consider this a real accomplishment in furthering our goal of enhancing library facllitles for our gntlre Staff . There were 30 inter library loans completed through the University of Michigan Library. year rgSy five Professional journals were ordered for the calendar There were 3tro boolts ordered during the year ln all major areas. Approxlmatedy two thlrds of these wre on speclflc r'equest as texts or references in the on going Psychlatrlc Resideney Training Program, the Nursing Education Progr'am, and other ln service educational pro9 rams , New shelving was arranged for and installed in the Staff Library and at this time plans for more shelving in both the library and the annex are being made. A system of baotr classif ication has been devel oped and approved which complements the Dewey Decimal System now ln use This classification ls based on color ceding of majort areas with books Shelved alphabetically ln sub headings of the major area.

We feel that we de not knew these patients well enough yet and maybe in the future we can have a boat for emergencies and then we may be able to tatre more chances with these patlents. The beach has been bulldozed out and this enables our patients to do more madlng than befoe. A telephone has been installed at the Picnic Gr'ounds which may be very useful.

OCCUEATIORAL "ERAPY During this period our. department continued to function in our ustial manner. For the Cherry Festival, we help to decorate a float. In August for the Fair, we xhlbited and displayed many of the patlentsl cr'afts. In October, the patients made many costurnes for the Halloween dance. During the Holiday Season we made many Christmas wreaths for the gntir.e lnstitutlon. We $1sa made many decor'ations and ornaments. Besides we planned, designed, cut out and painted the majority tf outdoor scenes.

Bus to the curtailing of equlpmnt purchases because of the States financial condltlon, we had a balance of $5,93200 in this account, Sio53?8otahige3uI8wasPgrgotuogaoEti Department of Mental Health fund. In the area of capital outlay, due to the Statefsf inancial condition, there were no new buildings or projects started during this fiscal year. This year saw the hospital make one of the biggest changes ln its hlstory, that of doing away with the dairy herd and beginning a pr'ogram of pur'chas1ng milk. The herd dfspersa sale was held December llth and lath and 200head of cattle wer.g auctloned off for a total of $5h$992.OO. With the elimination of this function, 1t was possible to reduce tiur farm personnel by nine positlons which will be used to nurse patients rather than cows. By making this change the hospital has reduced its miltr cost by approximately a per pound on ever.y pound used, this being the difference between what lt cost the hospital to produce and the cost to purLchase. If our preserLt planning goes along as scheduled, we will be out of the piggery and orchard business sometlm in the next f lscal year Page 31 raverse City Annual Report 195? 1958 resulting ln further savings. Doing away with the piggery operation hinges on whether garbase dlsposals and lncinerators ln various locatlons can be installed in time to eliminate Lhis functlGn.

This 72nd Annual Report of the operation of the Hospital. pHyslcAIpLAnl The physical plant, especially the older structures, continues to require considerable expenditure to keep it functioning satlsfactorlly. The newer units require but a minimum of mainterrance. Newstruc tur e S The new Administration Building continues to present a serious problem with heating. Work vas completed on the new staff residence and this new home is very satlsfactory. No new building was started dur1ng this year. EsttrqqIres,Ne.I? There continues to be a need for addltlonal housing for medical staff . The four family residence, which vas reported last year as being old and in poor repair, is one year olde" There continues to b a need for a unit for mentally ill children. The need for a chapel continues. A survey regarding remodeling or replacement of the old adminlstratlon btillding was completed but no further action vas taken on this project. RELEPEL.pepTpxpLngTLapTpiHpp A new Bitter proctologlc examlnlng table was purchased and placed ln operation and has proved to be a saving in expenditure of personnel time and has added to the eff iciency of the department of sur.gery. Also purchased were the following Rh Blood Typing View Box, Stangl Microtometray, and Tissue Flotation Bath, for use in the Laboratory Artif lcial Respiration Pump and Electric Stlmulator, for use in the Electroencephalogram Departments Mobile Aspirator for use ln Building trl and Wangensteen Suction System for tise in the Operatlng Room. PERSONNEL Not only did there continue to be a clef inlte and drastic shortag of personnel in an areas, but due to lack of available money, the total nufroer of employees in the hospital was further decreased. The position of Director of Research and Training was establishef and Dr. Curtis W.

At the end of the year, the census was 73 males and 23 females with a total of 96. Although the census of this 106 bed urllt was comparatively small at the beginning and ending of the year, the beds were filled during most of the entire year. However, at the end of the year, a large group of patients were in the process of beingransferred both to and from the Tuberculosls Unit. Durin the year there were 75 patlents admitted to the Tuberculosis Unit ifemalesand6057 patientsL6malesandlhfemales)dlsmissed. males 18 During the course of the year, patients from all of the mental hosPltaLls, except the Kalamazoo State Hospital, were transfer.red to and from the Tuberculosis Unit, with plans being made at the close of the year for transfer of patients from Kalama8oo. By the process of a Cour't Order lt was possible to admit two patients fr.om the Ionia State Tuberculosis Unit and 12 deaths for a total of 72 patients leaving the Tuberculosis Unit. The chart shows the number of patients that were present in a Tuberculosis Unit, with the transfers to and fr.om the unit, separated as to the hospital of their or'iginatlon. The end of the year saw a larger group of patients present in the Tuberculos1s Unit from Newberry, Pontiac, and Ypsilanti State Hospltals, as well as Lapeer State Hospital. By taking this larger group of patients, it was pos slble to close the active Tuberculosis Unit at the Pontiac arid Newberry State Hospitals. The Ypsilanti State Hospital continues to show patients on thelr tuberculosis wards, since this hospital continues to r'eceive a large gr'oup of patients from the Detroit area and the Sanatorium ln that vicinity. The number of patients in the Tuberculosis Unit from the Traverse City State Hospital was largest with a total of 32 patients. However, 11 of these patients were admlssions from State Sanatoria and VA Hospitals. There were 12 deaths during the year 1 n the TuberLciilosl,s UniL Four of these deaths were listed as being due to tuberculos1s with this disease being the under1ylng cause of their. death. Two of these patients died following surgical procedure for their. tuberculous condition, while the other 2 explred shortly after having been admitted with far advarreed reslstent strains of tuberculosis. It should be noted that there were 515 gastric lavages for the purpose of culturing material for acid fast bacilli. During the year a program for the replacement of blood used f or transfusions during the surgical procedures was started in cooperatlon Page 10 .Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 with the local Red Cross Chapter and with the Red Cross Chapters at Muskegon and Lanslng With thls program, we have been able to replace a nufroer of the units of blood that was requlred to be used during the surgical procedur'es. It should also be noted that there has been a rather marked increase in the X ray interpretations made at this unit during the past year', with the addition of the active participation of the Kalamagoo and Ionia State Hospitals in the Central Tuberculosts Control Program. A total of 3158 chest X rays wer'e interpreted on patients who are listed on the Centr'al Register. and a total of 3603 chest X rays nterpreted on patients from the various hospitals who are not listed on the Central Register. There has continued to be mor'e interest placed on the tuberculos1s program from all of the participating hospitals, with the ]alamazoo State Hospital being added to the program Thr.oughout the year, all of the hospitals in the Ceritral Tuberculosis Coutrol Program were visited by the Director of Tuberculosls.

Lectur.es were given to each class of student nurses regarding the pr'1nciples of EEC. The same lecture ves given to two attendant nurse classes. Eight one hour lectur'es were given to the f lrst year psychiatrlc residents regarding varLious aspects of electroencephalography. A demonstration on television regarding technique and diagnosis of the electroencephalogram was presented on July 30th over the local television station. In October, 1957 we installed an Edin Spectrum Analyzer and since that time have been analyglng all records. A new office and laboratory Page 11 il in ffi i jI , .RE I i .t i g art G. i i, rmdf . a rf I tqj Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 room area was r'emodeled and completed in Aprf I, 1958. Air conditlonlng equipment has been ordered and lt is anticipated that this will grteatly enhance the validity of the Egg records. From July i, 1957 to November 11, 1957 there was a technician and a technician in tralning working ln the department. From November t , I L I , 11 until June 23, 1958 onl one technician was employed in the de partment. From June 23, 19f8 to August 15, 1958, Gordon Wilcox is to be n the department, being paid oat ofr6seaicfi funds ona a niac i basis. His assistance is to permit the completion of an analeptlc study. A research project ls in progress in which we are evaluating the effectiveness, and central nervous system response, of various ana1eptlcs and tranquilizing drugs. This study 1s on the cat brain and the response is recorded on the BEG. We ar.e plannf ng a study in the human, using various drugs and evaluating any change in the br'ain with the analyzed BEG. A certain amount of the preliminary wor'k for this project has been done this ye a I . RESEARCH Previous to July, 1957, research funds were handled in a separate account. Resear.ch funds have now been depos1ted with the State Treasurer and procedures consistent with the routines as outlined by the Department of Administration are observed. A Dlrector of Research was appointed ln September 1957, who is responslble for the coordlrration of all hospital research and ls Chairman of the Research Colnmittee. This Committee was abpointed in October 1957, and is charged with the responslbllity of suggesting needed research, stlmulatlng staff member.s to lnitlate and carry through research, appraising every research project involving the hospital and giving their approval or disapproval thereof, obtalnlng consultants when needed and authorizing the use of all research funds. The Colrmi.ttee has appraised on going research projects in the hospital and has considered and given approval for five additional projects Of these five, thr have been initl3ed and are ongoingi while two are awaltlng outcome of grant appilcatlons.tl Files have been established and are maintained on each project.

Selected professional nursing personnel are given the opportunity to develop greater supervisory skills in order to direct the nan professlonal nurs1ng staff and thus enhance patient care. The halls and cottages housing male patients are gradually being brought under more direct pr'ofess1onal nurse super'vislon Much progress has been made in this area and male attendant nurse suprvlsors ln the Nurslng Office are assuming more responsibllltles not calling for the skllls of a professional nurse. When the pos1tlon ls filled for an Associate Blrector, Nur'sing Service, more direct supervision will be made available to the present attendants ln the nursing office. Negotiations are being completed to obtain a psychiatrically oriented Masterls degree prepar'ed nurse in this position. In the middle of July, a well qualified nurse will join the hospital nursing staff as the Associate Director. This has been a year of transition. With the additlon of new personnel 1n the Nur.sing AdmlnistrLatlon and Nurs1ng Education at tempts are being made to place greater emphasis on therapeutic care of the mentally ill patients rather than perpetuating the custodial orlentaLtlon. As one result of this, many personnel are involved ln a pilot project which ls an outgrowth of a requ'est of male attendaLnt Page 18 . Traver'se City Annual Report 1957 1958 nurse staff on one of the overactlve wards. This pilot study concerns the establishment of a ward patient council. Currently a survey of the literature is being done along with the design of the study being ln process. Better interpersonal relationships are being stressed, resultlng ln attempts on the part of nursing personnel to work with Small groups of patients, besides having an awareness of the to.tal patient population housed on their respective halls or coLtages Another of the bulld ng5 hotislng male patients ls now an open cottage during daytime hour.so The standardi ation of nursing procedures thr.oughout the hospitali ln order to render better nursing ear'e and to famlllar'1ze personnel with current concepts fn psychiatric nur's1ng has materialized Somewhat, with monthly classes being available. Some of these classes in part are the I.esults of introdticlng nursing techniques and procedures in a psychiatric orientation and approach to patients in performing nursing services. The introduction of new charting forms. in essence the composlte of many indLvldual charts for all patients, increased Interest and responsibility of all nursing p rsonnel to chart on the patlentts records, are but some of the activitles In nurs1ng serviceApart frtm direct nurs1ng ther.e are many projects ln which nur.$1ng personnel ar'e involved.

Many members of the staff are participating in investigating the clinical actlvlty of medications being administered to the hospltalizd patlents. There is a professional nurse on the planning committee of soiyciairegigf8rsg?iisPipnoitah The Director of Nurslng Education 1s a member of the Library Cornmlttee. It has been through her efforts and the lnterest of fellow committee members that thereD are am lncrasing mimber of books related to psychatric nursing available. The library itself, now as a centr.al unit for all reading marterials, rather than apart from facilities for priofessional nursing students, has been attracting more nurses and attendants. There ls also nurs1ng representation on the Civil Defense planning cottmlttee. Plans are to involve rLursing personnel ln organlged functions of nursing in Civil Defense preparedness ln the event of f ire or other dlsaster The Dlr.ector of Nursing and Director of Nurs1ng Education have both taken part in the orlentatlon program for the Grey Ladies volunteering their services at the hospital. Both nurses have also had eccaslon to address groups of pastor.S of the Ministerial Association visltlng our hospitalized patients.

The Workshops were sponsored 3hh8oggrofent pg3sadtSgrrNe esFour Was other nurses from Nursing Service and Nursing Education were par1cipants ln the Wor'kshBp. In teeeping with the revislori of the "urse Practice Act with the introduction of the law providing for licensure for qualified psychiatric attendant nurses, a professional psycriiatrlc nurse must serve on the Boar.a of Nurslng.

The professlonal t"rslng Student program mag shortened to a 12 week period. The schooLS sending stwdents rernained the same. The breakdown of the number. is as follows Sept.1957 Dec.1957 march,1958 June,1958 Butterworth 57 11 11 Edward W. Sparrow Highland park General Total JL 21 1 making a total of lola students. During the period the curriculum was completely rewritten. Greater emphasis has been placed on Small discusslon groups. Meetings have been held each quarter with repr.esentatlves of the sendlng school8. Dtiring these meetlngs, the backgrourid cotirses for the psychlatr1c experience, the psychiatric currlcultim and the progress of the students have been dlscussedt The agreements between this agency and the sending schools were revised this year as usual. B1 weekly meetings are held with the lnstr.uctors and head nurses to evaluate the progress of the Students and r'eview the pr'oblems concerning the applicaLtion tf theory to clinical practice Page 20 Traverse City Annual Repor.t 1957 1958 and the lqiprovement of ar.gas for clinical experience. The areas used for gxper'1ence have been reduced from three to two areas of six weeks experience on each. This has allowed the Student to more effectively study the formation and conti"ation of a 'r.elatonship. The plans for the future include morg study of all areas of the hospltal to make available wards for student exper'ince on which ther'esa less rapid turnover of patients, thereby allowing for morg lntensve nurs1ng care. It is planned that a more effective tool for evaluation of the clinical eperignce will be formulatgd There is also need for more individual supervision and teaching of the students. We do not plan to increase the pr'ogram in the near future, but antlclpate the ting when there will be adequately prepared teaching and supervisory personnel and clinical areas so that the number of students may be sizeably increased. The ln service educational program for the attendants has continued. An orientation program has b,gen planned for the newly employed person. The six months in service program has been in pro gress with 32 attendants completing the cour'se ln the past year, f lfteen are at present in the pr'ogram The curriculum for the course has been started and it is hoped that this will bg completed n the near future. An educational program to lntrodtice the entire nursing staff to the revised procedures has been started This is called the Procedure of the Month. Four classes of one hour length are held, enabling all per.sornel to attend. The topics covered and the number of persans attending are as follows Procedure of Month Date Title No. attended Marchj 1958 Transfer of patients h66 Undrstandlng patients ,L62 May 1958 Br eakd own i9 June, 1958 Char ting 453 Apt.1l,1958 A class ln how to use the library was held for 58 attendants and persons from other departments.

In the library try both the professional and non professional staff . In conjunction with this a bibliography mag prepared to assist the attendant in f lnding rmterlal dealing with various nursing pr'oblems. Page 21 Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 This could also be used by attendants preparing for the llcensure exaninaton as a suggested reading list. Weekly educational meetings have been held with the graduate nurses. Reports of meetngs and conferences attended are reviewed. Plans were made f or continuing classes concerned with psychiatr.ic nur.Sing skills. Harrlet handler, R.N.

However, these activlties were lnaugerated y the Director of Community Relations Department be for.e thls epartment was officially A I designated by Civil Service, and the activiti es have been contlnued under this department for lack of better ar'rangements. Burfng the year, the Community Relations Director spoke to seventyslx dlfferent and varied gr'oups these would include PTAts, Farm Bureau groups, civic organizations, schools and colleges, chur'ches and so forth. An Increased inter.est ln Traverse City State Hospital and lt$ 1Arork ln the field of the care and treatment of the mentally Ill has been noted ln the last thro or three years. Colnlnunlty Relations Department liltes to think that a fair proportion of this interest is due to the efforts of this department in dlssemlnating information regarding the hospital and its work Interest, on the part of ccrmunlty groups, 1n the hospltal has been manifested partially by the nunbgr of tours. Burlng the i lscal year, thir.ty f lve such tour.s wer'e Provided Page 26Traverse City Annual Report 195? 1958 to a variety of groups for a total of well over a thousand persons. The number of tours included here dogs not include tours provided for our National Mental Health Week Open House or our Christmas Open House The Community Relations Department has made definite efforts to e8aagafoSyunSditnge3sgi[fgscfi8Se ae ties were provided by outside groups for patients on our wards and cottages. These were birthday parties, special day parties, etc. One of our very busy activltles coming under the direction of the Cofzmunlty Relations Department 1s the prtint shop This shop provides many many hours of important therapy activlLles fort patients. twent three patients have benef ited by this patient a.ctlvity. Better than per cent of all hospital prirLtlng 1sflone in this department. Much of the weak ls for'ms used by the hospital for years and has been done on paper furnished by paper manufacturers at no cost to the instltutlon. At the present time we have f lve presses of varf ous slzes, a very good assortment of type, an automatic punch press with an assortment of dies and cutters, and many other pieces of equipment and Supplies that have been donated to us by interested indlvlduals. The Community Relations Department was very haLppy this year to have been instrumental 1n contactlng Butterf leld Theater Corporation of Michigan after our projector equipment had failed to the point wherLe repairs were no longer possible, As a result of contacts with16,GOO worth of riSietewEt 18 gpg projectors CQmplete with retlfiefs, lenses and all necessary sound equipment, some of which imas rebuilt at the companyls expense to fit Our speclflc needs here at the hospltal Our projector booth was enlarged to house the equipment, and we are now presenting some of the very flnest movies, 1ncludlng clnemascope. In response to our appeals, thousands of pieces of clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, games, arts and crafts supplies, etc„ were received by the hospltal for the benefit of pall.ents. At Christmas time, approximately six thousand new Christmas gif ts were received and wrapped by the Gray Ladles and sent to the various wards for patients who otherwise would have gone unremembered. Approximately fifteen hundred of our three thousand patients fall into the category of the "forgotten peoplet', or those indlvidtals whowould not be I.emembered by members of their families or friends. In Februar'y, 1957 a very interesting and hopefully bereflclal music therapy program was begun Following a workshop under the dlrectlon of the State Federation of Music Clubs with Michigan State Unlverslty consultants here at the hospital, the program was set up in Such a way that approximately six to eight members from Cadillac Phllharmonlc Club and a compar.able rmmber from the Traverse City Page 27 Traverse city Annual Report 1957 1958 Muslcale would appear each month at the hospital to provide a music therapy program. From February until the end of the f iscal year eighty such sess1ons were pr.ovided on as many wards. In addition, two pr.ofessional piano teachers gave two hundred and thirty private piano lessons. In April another war.kshop was held to further discuss the development of this particular activity. The Community Relations Department made arrangements dur.1ng the National Cherry Festival to have concerts, parades etc pr'esented S the hospltal for patients who could nat get downtown. Three outstanding grDups made appearances The U S. Havy Great Lakes Naval Training Station Band presented a cancer.i CDchrants Majorettes from Ohio gave an outstanding concert and drill and on the last day of the festival, a caravan of sixty valuable antique automobiles paraded to the hospital par.king lot and remained on display so the patients might have le oppor'tunity to see these automobiles and to ask questions about them. of one hundred and sixty seven hours each month to the hospital. apprige t 3a thygi gr eg enSuan i Bed adult tours throughout the lnstitutlon and on Saturday, May 3, entertained five hundred and ten, four to fourteen year old children, who toolt part ln the First Annual Fishing Derby on the hospital grounds. On this same day the creek, which has been known by more than a don thnggeei 3 gSitK8Sr a. 3fiiyoa a3f i Supervisors, the Mayor and members of the county who judged the creek naming contest, took part ln the program of re dedication. In addition to the cash awards which were given to the three patgnts econd, ri submlttlng the best three ramgs for the creeit, for the f i who and thlrdaward 123 prizes were given to as many boys and took part in the f lshlng derby. Another arrangement that comes under the direction of the Community Relations De'partmeut is the chaplainls activities. Since the hospital does not have a regularly employed chaplain, 1t ls rlecessary for us to depend upon local and area ministers to fill the need in this particular area. The Community Relations Department arranged for and conducted a chaplainls woritshop. Chaplain Ballenger. of the University of Michigan wias the main speaker and discussion leader and Page 8Traver.Se City Annual Report 1957 1958 a very prLof ltable day iAras provided twenty one of the ministers. These chaplalns at the time, d8cfdd to spend four afternoons each week ln the institution. They elected cme of their members to act as the coordinator and a very satisfactory arrangement has been achieved During the fiscal year, twelve separ'ate T programs were presented on WPBN TV, us1ng many members of the hospital staff in presenting to the public various phases of the hospital program. Writing material for daily and weekly nevyspapers, some arttlcles for professional publicat,lens, etc„ is another of the r'espons1blli ties of the Community R1ations Department. We must continually strive to keep before the public that kind of mater'ial which increases knowledge of and interest in the care and treatment of the mentally ill. Many news items were produced including educational materials, items of local interest outlining the various programs and endeavors of the lnstltutlon, and at times notif led the ptiblic of retiring of men atid women who have given the best years of their lives in the service of Traverse City State Hospital. Thousands of pieces of mall were sent out in appeals for Chrlstnas gifts, special rgquests 1n behalf of our patients, many letters of srmpattry, condolances, get well wishes, and letters of thanks which go out each time a gift is receved. Many r'equests for liter'ature Come to this office concerning the care and treatment of the mentally ill. These are always filled to the best of our abllltyo Colnmunlty Relations Department ls ln the process of setting up a photograph file which ls fast becoming one of the real points of interest. Photographs are used fort many different purposes some being used for display during National Mental Health Week or at Nor'thwesterLn Michigan Fair some wer[e sent to publications for use in conjunction with news articles others wet.a used in the hospital lobby to better acquaint citizens with the hospital procedures some wer'e used far training ptirposes. Several hundred photographs of various have been taken and we have a rather sizable and important fll fp8s x 10 material on hand at a momentls notice. Often these items are used ln our TV presentations. In some instances they have been loaned i8haa hnde g ugfthfp3P ?1e° IEC. slldes and have many of these complete at the pr'esent time. During the year, the hospital was requested to send representatlves to one high school career day and three high School goverrm.ent day prograLms. Under recreation actlvlties, in addition to the eighty f Eve parties provided on mar]y of our wards throughout the year, the Community Relations Department also made arrangements for a special teacher of square dancing to teach several classes during the summer months , Page 29Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 As we move forward into the second year of the existence of the Community Relations Depar'tment, we do so with the understanding that r.esponslbllities are bound to become greater and greater and that it whll either necessitate providing additional per.sonnel for this par.tlcular. depar'tment or to elininate some of the activities that now fall under. its drectlon. grELHoLQgLPEp4iBorLRTH The activities of the Psychology Depar.tment were divided between psychodiagnosis, therapy, lectures and research. Other responsibilities were carried for Jour.nat Club administratton and in the Journal Club, resear.ch, library, and mental health week commltfees. The number of psychologists on duty was four, on educational leave, one. There were 80 hours of lectures presented during the year 21 to the f irst year residents ln paychiatry, 18 to the nurses and nursing students. and trl to other profess1onal or community groups. Preliminary worlt was done on organizing a r'esear'ch project involving the development of a comprehensive, multilingual annotated blbllography on schlzophr'enia. Foundation financing for this project has not been obtained. Research ln process included the development ne3toe5segmggeaogysjasag gig Chlatrsts, and ministers for their Significance in the evaluation of mental health attitudes. Close agreement was obtalngd between all of the crlterian judges. Prelinitrary testing was car.ried out with two groups of high school seniors and a group of similar age from one Church orgarLization, Next steps in standar'dlzation will involve use of the scale with various clinical groups, particular1y rellgious paranoids then eventually with candidates for rellglous vocatlons. Indlvldual psychotherapy involved 9ld hours for the year, 736 with ln patients and 208 with out patients. Fifty one group therapy sessions were held with in patient adolescent bnys. and gir'ls. in.paEF Shtg8ttmgt3tnr°innsim3rBys The nature of the tests given was as follows Intelligence tests 386S Personality tests .11.1.9 ghlgsS,ais2gr2a.

The tine of testing for in patierlts fs usually during the f irst month after hospital admlsslon. Selected referrals are made by the psychatrists on the two admission services. Page 30 Traverse City Annual Report 1957 1958 The Journal Club, Which has been an admlnistrative responsibllity of the Psychology Department Since August 1951, now has an inter'discl pllnary steering committee to establish polly and help maintain closer contact with the varied areas of interest, STAFF LIBRARYs In October 1957 a Staff Llbrar.y Committee composed of represen tatlves of major areas 1n the hospital was appointed by the Medical Superintendent with the Director of Research and Tralnlng as Chairman of the Committee. Previous to this, the Director of the psychology Department had functiongd as coordinator of the library. It has been the duty of the Committee to formulate pollcles and procedures, Order books and journals, determine needs for and.order other equipment, and generally supervise the funetloning of the Staff Library. PoLlcle3 and pr.ocedures for the use of the library were determined and circulated to personnel in February, 1958. These included drectlons for obtaining des 'ed books and jaur'nals, loan ar.rangements, pr.ocedure on overdue books and details of inter library loan service, An inter library loan relationshi was establlshed with North western Michigan College in March, 195i. and we consider this a real accomplishment in furthering our goal of enhancing library facllitles for our gntlre Staff . There were 30 inter library loans completed through the University of Michigan Library. year rgSy five Professional journals were ordered for the calendar There were 3tro boolts ordered during the year ln all major areas. Approxlmatedy two thlrds of these wre on speclflc r'equest as texts or references in the on going Psychlatrlc Resideney Training Program, the Nursing Education Progr'am, and other ln service educational pro9 rams , New shelving was arranged for and installed in the Staff Library and at this time plans for more shelving in both the library and the annex are being made. A system of baotr classif ication has been devel oped and approved which complements the Dewey Decimal System now ln use This classification ls based on color ceding of majort areas with books Shelved alphabetically ln sub headings of the major area.

We feel that we de not knew these patients well enough yet and maybe in the future we can have a boat for emergencies and then we may be able to tatre more chances with these patlents. The beach has been bulldozed out and this enables our patients to do more madlng than befoe. A telephone has been installed at the Picnic Gr'ounds which may be very useful.

From here the magagings are placed on the wards, via the Post Off lee. There are 418 copies of the patients monthly magazine, the Obsrver, printed each month. OCCUEATIORAL "ERAPY During this period our. department continued to function in our ustial manner. For the Cherry Festival, we help to decorate a float. In August for the Fair, we xhlbited and displayed many of the patlentsl cr'afts. In October, the patients made many costurnes for the Halloween dance. During the Holiday Season we made many Christmas wreaths for the gntir.e lnstitutlon. We $1sa made many decor'ations and ornaments. Besides we planned, designed, cut out and painted the majority tf outdoor scenes. During Mental Health Week we not only helped the patients with materials for projects, but got them started on crafts for the display.

Bus to the curtailing of equlpmnt purchases because of the States financial condltlon, we had a balance of $5,93200 in this account, Sio53?8otahige3uI8wasPgrgotuogaoEti Department of Mental Health fund. In the area of capital outlay, due to the Statefsf inancial condition, there were no new buildings or projects started during this fiscal year. This year saw the hospital make one of the biggest changes ln its hlstory, that of doing away with the dairy herd and beginning a pr'ogram of pur'chas1ng milk. The herd dfspersa sale was held December llth and lath and 200head of cattle wer.g auctloned off for a total of $5h$992.OO. With the elimination of this function, 1t was possible to reduce tiur farm personnel by nine positlons which will be used to nurse patients rather than cows. By making this change the hospital has reduced its miltr cost by approximately a per pound on ever.y pound used, this being the difference between what lt cost the hospital to produce and the cost to purLchase. If our preserLt planning goes along as scheduled, we will be out of the piggery and orchard business sometlm in the next f lscal year Page 31 raverse City Annual Report 195? 1958 resulting ln further savings. Doing away with the piggery operation hinges on whether garbase dlsposals and lncinerators ln various locatlons can be installed in time to eliminate Lhis functlGn.
