This Idea of Drinking • - By Herman N. Bwidesen, M. 0. WHAT coofUbea iMor People *• why du people Use alcvhul beverage* to egeeen? W*H there are »W cause*. Some of these people am suffering from seven* mental disturbances which require the attention of a •pccUltat in disagree of the nervou* system. that is a psychiatrist. But. according to Or. Howard W Haggard of Yala University, the majority of thoai who drink to excess are normal human being* whose condition can be controlled by sympathetic treatment. It is his opinion that these persons should be treated by the pi&sictan. Feeling of CewfWenee The flrst part of the treatment is to ooteblhb the proper'feeling of <<m*4*t‘cc between Uh* patient aud tb» doctor. The doctor cannot be iteoaintMie about the outlook. It must be his effort not only to build In the patient tbc desire to be cured, but else *ha bwlt f that cure is yoseible. If there Is any lack of <4>pndeocc, the parent will react badly to H. Persons who ue* alcgnttc beverages to eaoess are ceflbd alcoholles. A tr»e alcoholic, according to l»r.

The action of the commercial group followed that of the executive committee of the Amaricga Legion, which recommended that such a building be erected as World War II Memorial, pocatqr needs a center for youth and adult groups and the plan of financing the undertaking should be given careful study, followed by a concrete Plan to egrry it through ——Q-o This week. Ash Wednesday, ushers in th season of Lent, a period of prayer and meditation of Christ's last days on mortal : earth. His suffering and Crucifigion. culminating in the observance of Holy Week, followed by the ceMiration of the joyful feast of Easter. We should give pause during the coming six weeks to the lessons and words of the Bible and the religious teachings of our church, so that we may more fully appreciate the meaning of Lent and prepare ourselves spiritually for the reenactment of the drama of Mt. Calvary. The world is up set because It does not pay enough attention to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Fatherhood of God. much of the uun st and suf•rlag being the result of overlooking these fundamental principles for justice and peace. Hacked by th- Hoard of Public Works and Safety, city ;>olice started today to enforce the onehour parking ordinance in the business district, as a step in controlling traffic and eliminating some of ttt>- congestion in the uptown shopping area. Chief Miller aud members of the police depart meut will du everything possible to stop the practic- of double perking snd spaces will be blocked us along Second street to “load aud unload", as a convenience to -hoppers. The traffic problem is not one - xclusively for the police and city officials to solve, for it tgkes the cooperation of the public and the spirit of fair play on the pert of motorists to bring about the needed reform. After all, it is* not polio officers who cause traffic congestion aud violation of parking laws, but the disregard by individuals of tales that oregte snarls in the smooth running ot travel.
