Balmorhea residents back bellringer aid to mental health
The Mental Health Association praised the President's Commission on Mental Health for recommending increased funding for mental health research. Balmorhea citizens supported a Bellringer drive led by Marilyn Moore in May. The commission urged Carter to back a 20 percent budget increase for federal mental health research, potentially raising National Institute of Mental Health funding to 140 million dollars in FY 1979. Texas Mental Health president Shirley Camfield called the increase urgently needed as NIMH research has lagged since 1969. A separate suit in U S District Court seeks to enjoin Pecos officials from holding municipal elections under a number place system, announced by MALDEF’s Joaquin Avila. Plaintiffs include Frank Perea, Manuel Orona, and Oscar Granado.
