Alcoholism Awareness Week
Highlight Problem Os Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol is established in
our society as a food, a drug
and a poision. While the
I majority of us enjoy oc
casional imbibing, some 13-
million Americans are
problem drinkers.
Alcoholism Awareness
Week, January 17-23 is a
time to focus special at
tention (Hi the problems of
alcohol abuse and
alcoholism. Although
alcoholism as an entity is
1 well-known, it is little un
derstood. It is a major
personal health problem as
well as a burden to society,
yet alcohol education is
lacking and research is
poorly funded in comparison
with similar other illnesses,
such as cancer and heart
disease,
Approximately 70 per cent
> of American adults drink
alcoholic beverages with
one out of every ten to
twelve developing alcohol
related ' problems. The
consequences of continued
heavy drinking include
physical, social,
psychological and economic
aspects. Currently, at least
10 per cent of all deaths are
• alcohol-related. Considering
that alcohol acts as a poison
in our system, it is not
surprising that every vital
organ in the body can be
adversely affected by
alcoholconsumption. Brain
disorders, muscle injuries
and weakness, heart failure,
gastrointestinal disorders
and liver diseases are the
)>, major medical com
plicahions of excessive
drinking. Heavy drinking
during pregnancy has
detrimental effects on the
developing baby and can
result in mental retardation
and physical abnormalities.
Alcohol’s role as a drug
can be either beneficial or
adverse. Mild alcohol in
> toxication can serve as a
“social lubricant’’ enabling
shy and inhibited in
dividuals to loosen up a bit.
Alcohol has even been
utilized in retirement homes
to facilitate social in
teraction. However, as a
drug, alcohol can also be
abused. Excessive drinking
used by lonely, bored or
unhappy individuals as a
forai of self-medication.

varieties. Nine of the ten
varieties came up 100 per
cent. New varieties include
Super Star, Magnum 45, and
Alaska. Magnum 45 may
have commercial interest
for us.
We will show pictures of
Silver Chief Sweet Corn.
This variety may compete
with Silver Queen and Quick
Silver. It has some real
characteristics. This is an
excellent eating corn,
beautiful appearance in the
crate and often has two nice
ears on the stalk. About all
of this variety comes off at
one time.
Planting Begins
Forestry personnel of the
Albemarle Land and
Timber District, the nor
thern half of the North
Carolina Region, have
launched the 1982 planting
season. Crews are busy
reforesting almost 5,000
acres of company land and
more than 900 acres owned
by members of the Tree
Farm Family program.
Genetically improved tree
seedlings grown at
Weyerhaeuser’s nursery
near Washington, are being
used for the reforestation
program.
Carlton L. Reason of
Jamesville will retire from
Plymouth Wood Products at
the end of this month with 11
years service.

Forestry personnel from
Weyerhaeuser and other
forest products companies
in the area are undergoing

While alcohol may tem
porarily relieve the symp
toms of such individuals, it
is never a cure. Self
medication with alcohol
may lead to alcoholism in
addition to the underlying
psychological problem.
Economically, problems
with alcohol abuse cost our
nation approximately S6O
- annually. Included in
this amount are reduced
production due to workers
being absent because of
alcohol-related illness,
health care expenses 'and
motor vehicle accidents;
approximately half .of all
automobile accidents are
alcohol-related.
Alcoholism is obviously a
monumental problem.
Scientists worldwide are
examining the puzzle of why
individuals react differently
to alcohol. Many believe
that a genetic factor is in
volved. Hiis could explain
why children of alcoholics
are five or six times more
likely to develop alcoholism
than people not having a
family history of
alcoholism. A genetic factor
may also protect certain
people from developing
alcoholism. It is known that
certain ethnic groups,
Orientals for example,
frequently become sick
after consuming only a very
little alcohol. Consequently,
many are unable to drink
enough to become alcoholic.
This sensitivity to alcohol
has been linked to abnormal
liver enzyme. It is estimated
that genetic factors could
account for as much as 80
per cent of all alcoholism.
The remaining 20 per cent is
likely to have psychological
or sociological roots.
The N. C. Alcoholism
Research Authority,
comprised of nine members
appointed by the governor
has contributed to making
NordiCarolinaaleadingstate
in alcohol research. Through
its support of training and
research projects, the
NCARA is aiming at the
long-range goal of
prevention. A greater un
derstanding of alcohol and
its effects may lead to an
eventual reduction in
demands for treatment and
rehabilitation services, as
well as reducing the per
sonal tragedy of alcoholism.
