If this effort is successful, the experimental method will be used nation-wide during the 1961 Mental Health campaign next May. Cedar City was selected because of its size, location, and the fact that no mental health campaign has been run in the city before. v 1 Two hundred citizens of Cedar Ce-dar City will receive a letter In the mail this week asking them to serve as volunteers on Wednesday, Wed-nesday, Oct. 19, "Bell-Ringer Day" by soliciting their neighbors neigh-bors on their own streets.
