quiet about, is the simple fact that alcohol is a drug, a harmful drug, a habit - forming drug No amount of advertising can talk that fact out of existence That it is a fact, can be witnessed to by anybody -he does not have to

And he can make that resolution stick, simply by staying away from alcohol. On the other hand, no man or woman who mixes -alcohol in his system can ever be quite sure he will not be an alcoholic. No alcoholic ever meant to be one. Drugs Have No Brakes Now the trade in alcoholic liquor is legal; trade in other drugs such as heroin, cocaine and similar drugs, is strictly illegal except for medicinal purposes through regular pharmacists, and on doctors’ prescriptions Still there are a great many people who in spite of the difficulties do manage to buy and use- these forbidden drugs, and | of course there are always the conscienceless people who sell the stuff to the addicts. But let us suppose we listened to the defenses of ordinary liquor, if applied to other drug habits. How ridiculous they would sound! We are told that the habit of drinking liquor is a long-estab-lished American way of life Well, the taking of cocaine is long-es-tablished too People will buy liquor—legally or illegally; they will buy heroin too in spite of all the laws People will steal cars, and forge checks —it’s been done a long time. But that doesn't make it right Or again, consider the pleasure people get out of liquor Why. of course They get an even keener pleasure out of'shots of other drugs than alcohol Every time you put a drug addict into a sanitarium you deprive him of his greatest pleasure m Ide. But that does not make his habit any better But. it will be said, self-control is the answer; a drug used in moderation is not so harmful as when used to excess True; but the trouble is, no drug has brakes, and drugs of the kind that alcohol and heroin are. actually weaken self-control instead of making it stronger • • • Stuff And Nonsense The reader can amuse <or horrify) himself by thinking of other antique arguments used to bolster the cause of those who use. or who profit by other men's use of. alcoholic H. ■ *. do they sound when used in defense of other drug habits'* “The illegal drug business gives employment to thousands ” •To interfere with this traffic is to interfere with free enterprise, th' right of every man to make his living gs he sees fit" ' To interfere with this traffic is to interfere with men's personal liberty Even if a man ruins himself with cocaine, it's his own business «».<•<! oßllln.--. c.p.

Grace Lutheran, the friendly family church invites you to come and share in the warm Christian fellowship which makes you welcome. Come once and you will come again. A privilege to worship God in the beauty of holiness. Notes from Old Testament Study: It is well placed that with Noah saw the beginning anew the history of the world. As the first act of man. Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings on th ealtar. This offering the expression, trust and fervent love. was acceptable to God. and favored with the sign of approval. of a fresh ratification of His covenant with man. a renewal of the original charter of man's authority and dominion over the world, with assurance that the world should no more be destroyed by a flood; that henceforth seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease from the earth. And God favored with the visible sign by appointing the raipbov m it# perpetual memorial. The story of the chosen people begins with Abraham, a man of great faith. His first act was to .• c . .. ¥ ,. .• ... u ■>rsl:i;> ■ an i called upon the people to remember God. The story of Abraham is rich in religious suggest ions. A spiritual father of the Hebrews. A man with conviction. He had heard God’s call, and he obeyed. Obedience is the fundamental thing in the Hebrew religion .as a response to God's call.

W. S. C. S. MEETS Mrs. Clair Dreher gave a short “Questions and Answers” talk on the Federation of Methodist Women news. Devotions given by Mrs. Leone Hogue were meditations on rest, taken from Mark 6. verse 2. The program was given by Mrs. Paul McClamroch on “Our Father's Temple, and Making Methodism World Wide.” Mrs. McClamroch gave statlsI tics on missions supported by WSCS. and chose to spealr specifically of Africa, the central Congo 1 district. She told of the beginning i of teaching Methodism to natives who are cannibals, and of the many years later when all preachers there were African men and , women with spiritual insight, j They also taught feminine art to : girls, and manly ways to boys. I Mrs. McClamroch’s talk was short but highly interesting. Refreshments were served by Circle Three. A new idea for “trick or treaters” at this Hallowe en time was brought out at the WSCS meeting Thursday by Mrs. Joe Bushong, secretary of social relations. This Will be for younger children. Brownie Scouts and Cub Scouts will go out in the community, and may accept a little treat personally. The objective, however, is for them to receive what sum of I money the householder wishes to I give to the United Nations’ Inter- | national Children s Emergency [ fund. Circle Four provided special music, a clever idea of advertising Methodist publications by pin- ! ning front pages of them on their I clothes, and singing to a familiar an invitation for members; to subscribe to the ? magazines.,: Secretary of Supply Work, Mrs. Nora Colwell, was assisted by Mrs. Elva Connell.

LUTHERAN CHURCH HOST TO UNION’ SERV GES The Union Service sponsored by the ministerial, was held in the Lutheran Church, ° Sunday evening. Rev. Sorensen acted as liturgist, and Rev. C. Mock gave the message. He stressed the Reformation, and the work of Martin Luther, his heroic stand for the truth in the fact of costing his own life. Protestantism today should remember what it cost to give us what we have in the way of an open Bible. The choir of the church rendered a trio befitting the occasion. F. T. A. Club The Lillian Hamman Futture Teachers Club met at the Syracuse Park. Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. After waiting about thirty minutes a strange sound was heard. It was Ronald Thornburg and Jerry Forrest arriving with Ronald’s tractor and John Searfoss’ wagon filled with hay. They were gaily welcomed by the sixteen members who Quickly climbed aboard and shouted “All aboard for a hay ride.” After riding for about two hours the boys and girls returned to the park where a huge fire was built in the fire place. Here weners and marshmallows were roasted. After stuffng themselves with weiners, potato salad, potato chips, cider, marshmallows and candied apples the club admitted they had a wonderful evening. Mrs. Peters hopes they not weiners and marshmallows were too noisy. The club wishes to thank Mr. Leonard Hubschman for the use of the wagon, and Mr. Bill Thornburg and Ronald for the tractor, and Mr. Peters for driving. The arrangement committee was Jerry Forrest.
