17-A lack of outpatient clinics in Vermont is preventing treatment of some mental and is hindering the rehabilitation of others, Dr. R.A. Chittick, superintendent of the Vermont State Hospital said today. Chittick backed up a report of the Department of Institutions that the need for outpatient clinics in the state has become "critical." He agreed that part of the need stems from an increase in the number of patients being discharged from the hospital, but also pointed to a minor mental illnesses that do not require as another main cause. At present there are only two outpatient clinics in the stateone in Burlington and Brattleboro.

"If takes two to three weeks to get an appointment, at the one in Burlington," said, "even thought here are three psychiatrists there." He did not know "what the situation is" in Brattleboro but presumed the clinic there is also overcrowded. These two clinics are unable to handle the increase in discharged patients and a rise in the number of persons with minor mental illnesses, Chittick said. Nor is the Vermont state hospital outpatient service sufficient to meet the growing need. Results from the lack of outpatient clinics according to Chittick are: 1. "We've had to ignore some of the people who haven't been Gov.

Says State Offices Will Be Open December 24 Morning Press Bureau MONTPELIER, Dec. 17- Gov-, ernor Johnson turned thumbs down today on closing Vermont state offices on December 24 as well as Christmas. "I feel it would not be justi-1 fied." the governor said in a forstatement. Mile pointed out that While a plan might be developed to give state office workers in Montpelier the day off, hundreds of employes in institutions, state police and highway maintenance men would still have to work. The governor said this would not be fair, particularly in view of the fact that some of these people will have to remain on the job Christmas Day.

"The legislature has established liberal paid vacation time and sick leave." the governor said. "In addition, 12 paid holidays are provided each year for state emploves. I "I do not believe the governor grant additional paid holidays." In turning down the additional day, the governor did specify that all offices may close at 3 p.m. Dec. 24 to "alleviate possible traffic congestion." There has been considerable grumbling among employes because the state offices are to remain open Monday.

Federal offices and the National Life Insurance company are to close. State employes who do take Monday off will have it deducted from their vacation time. Alan J. Barber Named To St. A.

The hospital's rehabilitation program has suffered, and some patients have been forced to return to Waterbury after their discharge.

Chittick said he already knows of about 100 such persons.

Present plans are to establish one outpatient clinic at the state hospital as soon as possible. "But that would be only a he said. "We'll need more than that to care of our needs in the state."

Frank Falck, who recently arrived here to be director of the Speech and Hearing Clinic in the new Vermont State Rehabilitation Center.

He said one per cent of the population in the country has some sort of voice difficulty which results in stuttering.

In Vermont there are 2,000 persons who have impaired hearing which affects their speech, Dr. Falck said. Throat cancer and subsequent removal of the larnyx by surgery is a cause of loss of speech. There are approximately 40,000 such cases in the country, including about 100 in Vermont, where persons have learned or are learning to talk by new techniques being developed.
