A proposed recodification of •
the 40-year-old mental hygiene
statute was introduced in the 1969
session of the state legislature as
a study bill.
"We hope to hear from all
interested health and volunteer
agencies concerned with the
mentally handicapped, in an
effort to bring the stature into
line with modern methods of
psychiatric care", explained Sen.
Niles.
"Since the enactment of the
basic Mental Hygiene Law in
1929, the concept of care for the
mentally handicapped has
changed' radically. Current
methods of care, prevention and*

community involved clinics,
smaller, localized care units,
better trained personnel and new
advances in medical and

Mets Improve
With Age-e
It was an evening of beautiful
weather, beautiful people, and
beautiful ball-playing, as the
Bethpage Kiwanis saw the Mets
beat the San Francisco Giants 1-0
at Shea Stadium Tuesday night.
It took eight seasons and
fourteen ^ong innings, but for
*those Bethpage Mets-o-maniacs
who have waited since 1962 to see
the hometown club win,
Tuesday's, game made it all
worthwhile.
The Giants' ace Juan Marichal
combined with Mets pitchers
Gary Gentry and Tug McGraw to
serve up a goose-egg omelet that
limited both teams to eight
useless hits oyer 13>/i> innings..
The only man to cross the plate
all night was New York cen-terfielder
Tommie Agee, who
broke up the game in the 14th
with a clout over the left-field
fence.
