Milford Police Report Given For October

Milford town marshal Don Drake has issued the following report for the month of October: Miscellaneous calls 82 Dog calls 6 Title checks 9 Accidents investigated 7 Accident assists 3 Arrests 9 The police car was driven 1,736 miles. A Call To War-On Drugs By VANCE HARTKE U.S. Senator We have a fight on our hands, and it is one we have no choice but to win. It is the fight against drugs — drug use and abuse and addiction. In the last few years, drug addiction has spread through our society like a cancer — quietly, but with an astounding and seemingly uncontrollable rapidity. It is estimated that there are at least 330,000 drug addicts in the United States. And nowhere has the tragedy of drug addiction hit harder than in Viet Nam where an estimated 60,000 of our young men are using heroin. Another 50,000 veterans have returned to the United States as drug addicts. In the past few years, drugrelated arrests have increased from 50,000 in 1965 to over 233,000 in 1970. At least five Americans die each day as a result of narcotics abuse. Up to 50 per cent of all metropolitan area property crimes stem from the addict’s need to support his habit. One addict can cost our society $50,000 to SIOO,OOO annually; and the total drain on the United States economy has been estimated at more than $8 billion a year. Most Americans have been content to believe that this cancer of drug addiction is primarily a ghetto problem. But these facts are not ghetto facts. The ugly truth is that the drug “problem” has slipped into most of our schools — including elementary schools — and into our corner stores and our playgrounds. The ugly truth is that the drug problem has had no regard for the racial or economic status of any particular community or individual. The ugly truth is that, while many were trying not to look, every segment of life in America has come to bear the track of the addict’s needle.

It is all too obvious that this problem has grown to crisis proportions, and that unless we undertake a unified national drive to solve it, I believe our cities and our schools will be overtaken by this menace within the next ien years. I have already introduced legislation which would attack the international part of the problem — to stop the continuing, illegal flow of drugs into this country. Now I am proposing a program to deal with the problem here inside our own borders. So far, the major thrust of many efforts has been with locally-oriented or nationallysponsored programs which only deal with limited aspects of the total problem. Although many of these programs have met with success, they are mere band-aids on a running wound. What is really needed is a strongly-financed, wellcoordinated mobilization of our country’s resources to develop a comprehensive program which would put an end to the drug problem. That is why I have called for a nationwide conference to be held next spring, at which representatives of local, state, and federal governments would develop the details of an all-out, all-together fight against drugs. Some of the guidelines I have proposed include federal aid to schools for drug education programs, funds sos new research in methods of rehabilitation, and tougher legal penalties for drug pushers. It was an all-out, national, cooperative effort that put us on the moon; nothing less than a massive effort will put an end to drug addiction. The war on narcotics is one I intend to see that we win. MOO Damages In Accident At Milford Damages were estimated at SIOO to a 1966 Plymouth two-door belonging to Carl E. Swegan, 23, r 2 Milford, last week when it was backed into by Coen E. Stephenson, 61, IK E. Bronson St., Syracuse. The Swegan vehicle was parked on Emeline street. Stephenson attempted to back his 1969 Buick from a parking space and backed into the Swegan auto. No damage was reported to the Stephenson auto.
