List
Club Activites
By W. r. ELLIOTT
The Uims' Club, lme other civic
clubs, is a charitable organization.
Lions have several projects but
give their major effort to the work
of helping the blind and visually
handicapped.
It Is the purpose of this article
to give the general public some
thing of the work of the Lions' Club
on behalf of our more unfortunate
nate citizens of the state and add
ing o this a resume of the services
renreded by the Murphy Lions',
during the past fiscal year. j i
Twenty five years ago a very lit |
tie was done for the benefit of the '
blind of North Carolina. Of course |
there was much sympathy for them 1
I
I
but the general attitude was. ''there
is nothing we do about it.' ' In
March 1935 an agency was created
by legislative enactment of the
General Assembly of our state
which brought into being North
Carolina State Commission for the
Blind. This commission began its
operation in July, 1935. Since that
date so muoh work has been done
by the Lions for unfortunate folk
that Ihe totals seem exagerated
Many thousands of dollars have
been raised and expended for the
citizens of the state and adding
relief of our more unfortunate
jcy to the he.i-r>- of these who once
were left forlorn.
During the year April 1, 1958 !
March 31. 1959. the Stale Commiss
ion assisted 56.351 persons and the
money expended for the benefit of i
iiese folk amocnted to $227,772.33. |
rhe joy, comfort and happiness '

Here I give a summary of the
work done during the past year by
the Lions' Club of Murphy. Secured (
359 eye examinations, no cost; 1
purchased 222 pairs of glasses,
?895: one artificial eye surgery and]
hospitalization for 2, $290; medical!
sen-ice for 43, $25; dental service
For 1, $6; new clothing for 8, $24;
repair on radio, $5; held Christmas
party for 33, $330; provided educat
onal supplies for 5, no cost; scree
led 3500 childern for eye defects
expended 757 man hours on labor
for the blind; collected and distrib
?d 160 garments of used clothing;
contributed $120 to travel expense
5f case workers; remitted $326 to
(he White Cane Drive; bought
equipment for eye clinic, $500;
sponsord sale of articles made by
the blind; bought garden seeds, $40;
furnished baby chicks, $10. All this
for charity. Just think of how many
hearts were made glad by these
gifts. A small act and a kind word
will lift the burden from a struggle
ing soul.
Where did all -this money come
from? Calf sale netted $947; light
bulb sale $450; fair gate receipts.
$133; drive for Christmas baskets,'
$330; gum machines yielded $278. j
In addition to the club's work of
raising money for charitable causes
we are interested in boy scout work
also. So far this year, 1959, the
club has sponsored 12 new units
of boy scouts in Cherokee County.
275 new boys have been ? .-trolled
this year.
There is joy in the service of
others and we of the Lions' Club
of Murphy are happy over the
abf^?< qcfa?|f li0^nW*24t
to be a Lion.

Prohibition
Does Not Work!
If that sounds like a strong statement, we invite your attention to our 10 yea; Via -I ?*..?
? "There is no such thing as a dry county," which has never been challenged
The only thing which prohibition "drys up" is the legitimate tax ltvermt
derived from the "legal control" system of the sale of beer and ale by private
LuSiiltdU*
IvL.i.y people today who favor the "legal control" system would subscribe
to prohibition it' they thought it could be made to work . . . but these same
people have learned that prohibition actually breeds the evils of crime and
gr^fi because the bootlegger immediately takes over whenever and wherever
prohibition is tried.
Sutut will ?uy prohibition could be made to work. All we can say is that never in all history
has it cvci worked in this country or anywhere else. How can any city, county or state
cteii expect to enforce such a law with a large part of the population favoring "legal con
trol" had when surrounded by "legal control" areas.
North Carolina has no adequate law enforcement agency for enforcing pro
hibition . . . but they do have an efficient agency for policing "legal control"
? the ABC Board. Local cities and counties have officers to enforce their
local laws, but they are not staffed to police the bootlegger who always
moves in with prohibition.
But the main reason prohibition does not work is because it does not have the support of
all the people; in most cases not even a majority of the people. When an organized mi
nority wins a prohibition election, it is a hollow victory in every instance because no pro
hibition law ever stopped the sale of alcoholic beverages, much less changed the personal
habits of a single individual.
