Health expert shortage gets worse
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A shortage of trained health experts is crippling the delivery of effective care for mental disease, reports a group of psychiatrists.
"Children have it particularly tough," said Dr. Irving Philips of the University of California's Langley Porter Institute.
"There are about 1.4 million children who need psychiatric care, but less than 500,000 are getting it.
"Less than 10 per cent of the mentally retarded who could benefit from help are getting that help."
"There are vacancies for trained psychiatrists all over the country but we just can't fill them," said Dr. L. Douglas Lenkowski of Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
"We must step up the capacity of the medical schools."
"In my mind, the situation is going to get worse before it gets better," said Dr. Alexander Simon, head of Langley Porter.
"There are three areas of serious social need—the aged, mentally ill and alcoholism and drug abuse," he said.
"Once alcoholism and drug abuse are defined as health problems and not crimes, the need for health manpower may well be overwhelming."
The study, carried out by the Swedish Institute for Opinion Research, concluded that 90 percent of Swedes who have been married a year or longer have been faithful to their spouses.

Tokyo housewives try dialing for dinner
July 7
1970
TOKYO (UPI)—Dial 571-9141 for dinner. That's the telephone number for the menu of the day, if you can get it.
Tokyo Gas Company, Japan's largest public utility gives cooking lessons by telephone.
Tokyo Gas says its costs are low. "We opened this service with an initial investment of only one million yen ($2,778) and it costs only about 600,000 yen ($1,666) a month to operate," the spokesman said.
The present service offers directions in preparing one main course a day. The menu changes each day and is rotated among Japanese, Chinese and Western dishes.
"So many young housewives today know very little about preparing meals and they are tempted to rely on packaged, instant foods instead of imaginative, home-cooked dishes," a Tokyo Gas spokesman told UPI.
"We estimate that we get about 3,000 calls each day on our dinner line," a company spokesman said.
Telephone number 571-9141 is fed into 10 phone lines so that 10 callers can hear the day's tape recorded menu simultaneously.
The service has proved so popular that the 10 lines usually are busy even though they operate 24 hours every day of the week. Tokyo Gas is planning to expand to 40 lines.
"We decided to do something. We set up a telephone service which anyone can call and receive free advice on the most wholesome and suitable meal for a particular day."
Tokyo Gas, which serves 80 per cent of the households in Tokyo, the world's most populous city (11.5 million residents), started its dinner dial service in April.
Each day, 571-9141 provides a new menu for dinner prepared by Mrs. Hisako Yoshizawa, noted Japanese consultant in home economics.
Dial that number and if you are lucky—the number usually is busy—you will hear the cheerful voice of a young woman with tips for dinner.

This is Tokyo Gas telephone cooking service," the voice answers. "Greens are excellent on the market today. How about gyoza for dinner? It's a Chinese dish, a fried ball of wheat flour dough filled with cabbage and ground pork. Husband and children find it delicious."
