Today when people talk about drug abuse, we often think of young people getting high for kicks. Anyone may be a drug abuser and not realize it. A drug is a substance that affects the functions of the body or mind when taken into the body or applied to its surface. DRUG MISUSE is the use of drugs for purposes or conditions for which they are unsuited, or for appropriate purposes, but in improper dosage. DRUG ABUSE is the excessive or persistant use of a drug without regard to accepted medical practice. Drug dependency is the condition that results from drug abuse. It is described as the interaction between the drug and the body when this interaction involves an effect of the central nervous system. It is characterized by a behavioral response that always includes a compulsive desire to continue taking the drug to experience its affects or to avoid the discomfort of its absence Dependence always involves a psychic craving, and sometimes physical dependence. Almost any drug can be abused or misused. Listed are some drugs that are abused: alcohol, which is a depressant; cannabis, marijuana; depressants, such as sedatives and hypnotics; hallucinogens, such as LSD; inhalants, such as glue, laquers, paint, thinners; narcotics, such as opium, morphine, codeine; stimulants, such as benzedrine, dexedrine, metedrine and pitalin; tranquilizers. such as meprobamate, meitown, eqreanil, librium, valium. In case of drug abuse emergency, it is important that the signs and symptoms of the abuse are identified by the person providing the immediate care The type and amount of the drug taken and the time should be determined if possible. Sometimes there may be clues, such a* cy* dropper, hypodermic needle, vials or coliap sable tubes. All of these are significant and should be noted It is important to remember that when a doctor prescribes medication for you, take it exactly as it says-no more, no less. He knows what your body can take and needs. Your medicine will only benefit you if it is taken as prescribed. BE CAREFUL -DON’T YOU BE AN ABUSER OR A MISUSER Crime Stoppers...

'United Nations Day'proclaimed Oct. 24

The United Nations came into being on October 24, IMS, a date commemorated every year as “United Nations Day.” On that day, the Charter of the United Nations entered into force. The Charter had been drawn up in San Francisco in the closing days of the Second World War. The purposes and principals of the organization as set forth in the Charter are: 1) To maintain international peace and security; 2) To develop friendly relationships among nations; 3) To achieve cooperation in solving international economic, social, and humanitarian problems, and in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; 4) To be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in attaining these common ends. The United Nations is not a supra State or world government. The member states are sovereign and equal, and the Charter provides that the United Nations shall not intervene in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction or any State, except when it is acting through the Security Council to maintain or restore international peace. But the member states have certain obligations under the charter. They are committed to settle their international disputes by peaceful means, to refrain from the threat or use of force against other States, and to assist the United Nations in any action it takes in accordance with the Charter. The United Nations does not make laws; nor are its decisions binding

Praise for police

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: We would like to call your attention to an incident that occurred near the hour of 3a.m., Tuesday, October 15. It was raining, and foggy, a very distressing night. Our daughter, son-in-law, and grand-** daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Clint Bessinger, and Jena, were returning from the Elkhart General Hospital, where they had taken our four-year-old granddaughter, Jena, to the emergency room with severe bronchial pneumonia. While returning with the ill child, their automobile broke down just north of Nappanee, and was barely off the road, blocking a driveway. Our son-in-law found an understanding citizen of your community, who permitted him to telephone us at our residence in Etna Green, and we went immediately to their aid. When we arrived, we found it impossible to push the car to a safe location. At this time, one of your officers arrived and immediately offered his assistance. His help was all we needed, as together we pushed the car to a safe location We then transferred our family to our car and continued to their home. The little child was very sick, and the assistance of your

Don't steal signs

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: You can tell Halloween is quickly approaching. It’s time for ghosts, goblins and pranksters, and I for one am tired of it already. ATTENTION PARENTS: Do you know where your children are, what they’re doing on these beautiful fall evenings? If they’re out stealing real estate signs and get caught, plan on picking them up at the police department. Last year, I spent more time trying to figure out whose signs were missing, locating stolen signs and replacing those stolen signs. This is a crime-it’s theft. Do yourself a favor, inform

Is this right?

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: On Sunday, September 29, two boys were stopped by the Nappanee City Police and charged for not having an audible signal on their bicycles. I understand they were not riding in a manner as to draw suspicion. I was rather doubtful if there was a law like this. Calling the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, the one who answered said there is no law like this on bicycles. They suggested checking with local ordinance on this.

on governments. It is the one meeting place where representatives of most of the countries of the world-great and small, rich and poor, strong and weak, with different political and social systems and sultures-are freely heard on a broad range of world issues. The strength and effectiveness of the organization depends on the collective will of the people and governments supporting it. Just as the world has greatly changed since 1945, so has the United Nations. The number of member nations has increased from

officer was extremely helpful in getting her home safely on a night during which the weather could have had an even more detrimental effect upon her if she would have had to remain very long in the disabled vehicle. My wife and 1, along with our children and grandchild, would like to express our heartfelt thanks to your officers who assisted us, and the other citizen of your community who allowed our son-in-law to telephone us. In a day-to-day world that seems to always be contentious and difficult, and lacking in compassion, it is certainly heartwarming to know that there really are people like your officer and that citizen who DO care. Thank you-it is our fondest hope that everyone could acquire that kind of attitude of compassion and consideration. It would make foil of our lives a great deal more happy in the living. Finally, our granddaughter is improving, and we hope her complete recovery will be very soon. Thank you very much, we send our warmest regards.

your children of this. Also, do your realtor a favor. If your sign is missing, give them a call. If you suddenly have a sign and aren’t intending to sell, call the agent and let them pick up their sign. I enjoy a good joke as well as the next person, but kids don’t see the harm in this. Signs cost money. We don’t get back about half of the signs stolen, it hurts the seller, and It hurts the agent as far as lost time. Give us a break this year kids. Don’t steal signs, get your jollies elsewhere. Name Withheld by request

Checking with local ordinance from the Nappanee clerk, the answer was no local ordinance like this, that she knew of. Still not satisfied, I called the Indiana State Police Post in Indianapolis. They said there is a law to have a horn or audible signal on a bike to be heard 100 ft. But they said it is not enforced. Later they said it can be enforced. Now my question is-What kind of law is this? Either it is or it isn't. And are our local police right to pin such petty charges on lawful citizens? Jonas Mullet EDITOR’S NOTE: The Advance-News contacted Police Chief Bruce Thornton regarding the above-mentioned incident, and the following information was received. Thornton reported that there is a state statute regarding horns on Mcydes-listed as Indiana Code M-B-K. Police are free to enforce this law as they see fit. Since the youths involved are Juveniles, the department was not at liberty to release their names or other violations. Thornton did state, however, that the initial reason for hts department stopping the youths was the fact that they www riding their bicycles in circles in the middle of Nap-
