Work Both Curative And Helpful - Tasks performed by patients in Michigan state hospitals have a double value -- primarily they are intended to benefit the patient and to help toward his recovery or to make his condition more "comfortable." In the second place they have, in many cases, a productive value, saving the state many thousands of dollars in the upkeep of the institutions. Here patients in the industrial department at Pontiac State hospital are engaged in caning chairs. Patients make rugs, curtains, table spreads, and various articles that help to make living rooms, dining rooms and dormitories more pleasant.
