Mental Band-Aids. Founded in January, Ann Arbor's storefront clinic is one of several thousand such emergency-treatment centers now operating throughout the U.S. Under a federal program launched in 1963, this census will expand even further.

The shrewd, sharp youngster, who has seen enough of the dismal life of the ghetto, may be receptive to the suggestion that he can find his way out.
