York Farm Women aid injured daiiyman
BY JOYCE BUPP
Staff Correspondent
YORK In an unplanned
highlight of the York County Farm
women’s convention Nov. 1, the
nearly 300 members and guests
attending responded to their theme
“sharing love and fellowship,”
with a love offering of $450 for a
young county dairy farm family.
The impromptu giving climaxed
the group’s annual meeting, held
at Wisehaven Hall, with members
responding to the invitation from
president Arlene Miller to join in
supporting the Gary Thoman
family, Dallastown dairy farmers.
Thoman’s arm was severely
injured recently when a falling
forage wagon elevator knocked
him into a silage blower. His wife
Gail is a member of York Society
#lB.
Farm women generosity also
culminated in the presentation of a
$515 check to the York County
Mental Health Association. That
contribution to the work of the
mental health group represented
the county farm women’s ways
and means project for 1984.
Accepting the contribution was
Marta Peck, executive director of
the Mental Health Association, and
featured speaker for the con
vention’s morning program.
Ms. Peck outlined a brief history
of the county’s mental health
programs, beginning in 1951 with
the founding of the fledgling
organization. She related how
mental health patients at that time
were held in jail until they were
admitted to the State Hospital at
Harrisburg.
Harrisburg.
According to current statistics,
20 percent of society, or 1 in every 5
persons, will at some point in their
lives be affected by a mental
health problem. Anxiety is the
most common, says Ms. Peck, with
about eight percent of mental
health patients suffering impaired
function due to anxiety.
“Contrary to popularly held
beliefs, the mentally ill are less
likely to be violent than ‘normal’
people,” she added. “Instead, they
become isolated, and avoid social
contacts, withdrawing into
themselves.”
One pressing concern of mental
health leaders is the mushrooming
numbers of teenage suicides.
“The teen suicide rate has
tripled in 30 years, and is the
second high killer of young
adults,” Ms. Peck told the farm
women. Among the factors
believed to be contributing are
child abuse and increasing
numbers of children, especially in
single parent households, who
rarely see a parent with whom
they can discuss their growing-up
problems. She related how even
school nurses are finding it
necessary to stock their offices
with food for children arriving for
classes, having had no breakfasts.
Volunteers continue to be the
backbone of the mental health
association’s ability to work in the
community on limited budgets,
and Ms. Peck praised the Farm
Women societies for their con
tinuing support of such programs
as Operation Reindeer. This
holiday gift drive supplies
Christmas gifts to mental health
clients and families in both the
state hospital and the community.
In 1983, over 900 people were
remembered through Operation
Reindeer.
“They are gradeful for such little
things, perhaps something as
simple as a flannel shirt,” she
related. “We have a large demand
for flannel shirts ”
The mental health staffers also
spend large blocks of time working
with advocacy programs, such as
effecting legislation in support of
mental health needs and at legal
hearings for clients.
