Indiana Teen-Agers Being Hooked By Drug Habit

By FRANK A. WHITE INCREASED NUMBER of Indiana teenagers have been “hooked” by use of dangerous drugs and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction has taken positive action. He has hfred a former FBI agent, Mark Van Horn, to work in the field. The youthful appearing, intense Van Horn is weH, qualified. He holds a master’s degree in chemistry and has taught in the Indianapdlis public school system. He outlined to me the scope of his state wide job, saying: “Superintendent Wells has asked me to be a consultant on drugs and narcotics, including tobacco and alcohol. I will contact school officials and parents, as well as work with private and public agencies in combatting spread of drug use. “Also I will work closely with the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs of the Treasury Department, the State Board of Health and police en-' forcement agencies. I will obtain qualified speakers and literature to educate parents and students to this bourgeoning peril.” QUESTION: Does Indiana have a law on the subject? ANSWER: Indiana has a 1947 law requiring all high schools to provide a course in. drugs and narcotics. There is no approved text. We find parents who do not even know their offspring has been “drug hooked.” Education to the evil is paramount. This columnist has observed in the past some of these “state required” courses. They are assigned as an extra chore, often to unqualified and disinterested teachers. Q: How widespread is drug addiction, particularly among teenagers and what is the most prevalent problem?

We often wonder how we would have the time to write a column and do the dozens of ether things we do each week if housecleaning tasks were still done as they were in grandma’s days. It’s quite simple, even though we complain, to go home from the office and wash and dry a load of clothes while one is cooking supper,, reading a magazine or doing any number of other jobs. We wonder what this old mountaineer woman would think of the laundromats of today and of the modern way of doing the wash?

Wed., July 9, 1969 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

A: Alcohol is still the major problem. There is said to be no known cure for acute alcoholism and withdrawal symptoms are said to be more pronounced than with any other drug. Much can be done to enable an alcoholic to control his illness and make a living. Estimates have it there are 100,000 chronic alcoholics in Indiana. There is an estimated 17,000 acute alcoholics and 60,000 potential victims in Marion county alone. A recognized national poll conducted in 55 colleges, found 57% of the students had used alcohol on occasions, often more than they should. Second in line and particularly perilous to teenagers is the increase in use of Marijuana. Although possession of this drug is illegal, its use is spreading and difficult to combat. Q: Is the use of Marijuana dangerous and does it tend to more dangerous drugs? A: No, studies have been made as to the long range effects of the Use of Marijuana, and it has been disproved that it always leads to use of so called “hard” drugs. We do know it is illegal, it teaches disrespect for law and places the teenager in intimate contact with illegal persons and places.

It Happened In . .. Milford, Indiana' Item Taken From The Files Os The Milford Mail

14 YEARS AGO, JULY 21, 1955 Mrs. David Price of Goshen, formerly of Milford, will return from Inglewood, Calif., soon where she is visiting a daughter for about a month, according to information received by Milford friends. Miss Dorothy Hummer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar A. Hummer of Dunkirk, and Arthur Gall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gall of Milford, were united in marriage Sunday afternoon, July 17, in the Hickory Grove Church of the Brethren near Pennville, Ind., the single ring ceremony being performed by the Rev. Glenn Kinsel, of New Paris, and the Rev. Russell Weller of Berne. Mrs. Callie Tusing was returned home Monday from the McDonald hospital where she had been since July 6 for medical treatment. % A divorce complaint has been filed in circuit court by Eva Ann Lyon, r 1 Milford, against Lloyd M. Lyon. The plaintiff asks custody of a son, James, 13 months old, and title to household furnishings. The couple was married March 21, 1952, and separated April 24, 1955. 20 YEARS AGO, JULY 21, 1949 Mr. and Mrs. Theo Beer, Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Beer and Mrs. Charles Weisser attended the funeral of Clyde Stoller,, age 38, at Latty, Ohio, on Sunday. Mr. Stoller’s death followed within six months of the death of his brother, Harvey, age 36. Both died of complications following appendectomies. Announcement was made this week that Jimmy Dorsey and his famous dance band Jgfould appear at the Waco Ballroom on Monday night, August 15. A false rumor got started here on Monday that the waters of Milford lake were polluted and unfit to swim in. Just how the rumor began no one to know. It said, in effect, that Milford lake and Center lake in Warsaw were both unfit for bathers. A check was immediately made with Dr. T. Schuldt, of Pierceton, county health offi-

The user loses mental and sometimes mental control,'of himself and many commit violent crimes. The Marijuana'plant can be grown in Indiana and most of the world. It is of the hemp family. Tons of it are brought from*- Mexico, illegally. Tijuana is noted as the “pot” capital of the world. A national poll of selected colleges showed 22% of students have tried Marijuana. Most users are under 21 years of age. Adm. G. M. Davis, chief of naval medicine, tentified in congress, that 2,372 sailors were discharged for drug abuse in 1968. This was a 300% increase over 1967. a personal note of interest is given. I turn to friends of my grandson, Dick, now in Viet Nam. About half of Dick’s friends went in uniform upon leaving high school. Those remaining civilians have a high per cent of drug users or pushers. I can count eight of Dick’s friends who are “hooked” on drugs. Extreme pressure was exerted on Dick’s girl friend to use drugs among his former high school friends. She attended parties and saw her friends using drugs. “Pot” parties rival clandestine high school alcohol parties. Van Horn at Well’s state office will help parents and school officials with their drug problems.

They were first discovered by Earl Tom as they were ready to attack his flock. Other farmers were called who gave chase to the dogs and both were killed. One of them was a police dog and the other a large hofind, the owners of which are not known. The dogs for some reason did not attack the lambs, but killed only older sheep. Tfib estimated value of sheep killed in the vicinity recently has been placed at $250. Those who had sheep killed were George Felkner, John Tom, James Crewes and V. D. Burmbaugh. Alton Troup employee of the local plant of the American Radiator Company, was called to Detroit, recently to attend the funeral* of a relative.
