Richard Gelzleichter. president of the Lafayette Citizens Committee on Alcoholism. Urgent Need Gelzleichter cited the urgent need for quality treatment, education and prevention programs as the reason for the formation of the council. “Even though there are an estimated 200,000 alcoholics in Indiana, affecting at least half a million other persons —spouses, children, employers, and so on—-

the state spends only .09 cents per capita of its funds for alcoholism programs,’’ said Gelzleichter. ’This puts us near the bottom of the list of states in such spending, far behind the expenditure of such neighboring states as Michigan, which spend $1.35. Illinois .70 cents. lowa 80 cents and Wisconsin $4.” he added. He added : “Alcoholism, is the most untreated treatable illness It is terminal and if not treated robs a person of from 10 'to 12 years of his or her hfe Can you imagine what would happen if there were 200.000 cases of sleeping sickness in Indiana’ Our health authorities would not only declare an epidemic but would initiate massive programs to deal with the emergency. The

real tragedy is that something can be done about it —and we’re not doing enough. There are proven programs in this field which we should have in Indiana." Monies Patricia McCaffrey of South Bend, treasurer of ICCA, and a board member of the National Council on Alcoholism and the Alcoholism Council of Saint Joseph county, pointed out that Indiana is already spending large amounts of money on alcoholism “The trouble is it is mostly negative spending,” she said. ‘Alcoholism is costing industry millions of dollars; besides the loss of life, the economic costs resulting from alcohol-related traffic deaths, other violent deaths, and crimes, are' immeasurable; our court costs for alcohol-related cases are astronomical; the loss of tax revenue from the unproductive, unrehabilitated victim of alcoholism is substantial; welfare costs due to alcoholcaused unemployment, family desertions, child abuse and so on

are rising.” “These are only the economic and social costs.” Mrs. McCaffrey added. “None of them even touches on the incredible personal tragedy for the victim of alcoholism and his or her family.” •t- ; ' Purpose The purpose of the newly farmed council, according to Gelzleichter, is three-fold: to bring about a more realistic awareness of the nature and extent of the problem in Indiana; second, to stimulate greater citizen participation in securing more effective treatment, education and prevention programs in the state; and third, to be a collective citizens’ voice in demanding effective action from state legislators and government officials responsible for this health service. The citizens groups represented in the new council are from Bloolmington. Crawfordsville, Elkhart, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis. Kokomo, Lafayette, New Albany and South Bend.
