Cunningham, whose institute has been treating alcoholics for the past 53 years, said that surveys show 3 pT cent of the DODulation i are alcoholics. Using latest Depart ! ment of Commerce figures (March, j 1948) which show an estimated U. i S. employment figure of 61,000,000, ; Cunninf hain states that there are 1 ,830,000 alcoholic employees in i the country. ' ! "If thla group remains away from their work, or dawdles over work," Ci-nninshain said, "even for one hour and a few minutes per month the cost to industry could be conservatively estimated at two million man-hours." "Industry has long ignored the alcoholic employee as an indirect cost factor," Cunningham stated. "One reason is that most of them do not realize, that alcoholism Is a disease and not something that ' can be controlled by those in authority. More often than not, the alcoholic ernployee also does npt realize that he Is suffering from a disease. This fact must be brought to the attention of all concerned." When asked what employers could do about the situation, Cun ningham gave this 5-point pro gram as a recommended procedure; 1. If an employee repeatedly re mains away from his or her work, or shows, signs off slowing up pro duction, he or she should be exam ined by a doctor, 2. If the doctor finds that al- conol is a contributing factor, to loss of time or production, the employee should then be sent to an understanding personnel officer. J. Its should be explained to the employee that alcoholism Is a disease. This self-knowledge may enable the employee to admit that his or her life is becoming un manageable because of alcohol, 4. If this point is reached, hos pitalization should be recommend ed where necessary, with the sanc tion of the company or. at tenet with no penalty attached. 5. After medical treatment. th employee might be guided to the church or Alcoholics Anonymous for continued moral support and a new way of life. - Cunningham was emphatic on the point that industry itself would I Mm "ft '6 i RISING IN STATELY ELECANCB, the new United Nations Secretariat Build lng in New York is almost ready for occupancy.

Industry has an investment in each and every employee, he said, and if that investment alone could be salvaged, it would in turn benefit the employee, his or her family, 89 well as fellow workers. The Keeley Institute of North Carolina is affiliated with the orl glnal Keeley Institute at Dwight, Illinois, , which has been in con tinuous operation since 1879. In Its more than half a century of oper ation, it has treated thousandsof alcoholics in all walks of life. Child Who Is Bad in Spelling By CARRY CLEVHAND MYUS, Ph.D. WHEN a, teacher must read a paper, written by bpy or girl in Junior qc senior high school with many words misspelled, she nat urally Is annoyed. And because of this annoyance she may un consciously grade the paper low er than If there were few or no misspellings. But when she pur posely lowers a grade PO paper (or marks It falling) which was meant to be a creative composi tion or assemblage of facts, she may defeat the major purpose of this paper. : Some while ago, In this column, I advised that In creative writing the child be urged to get It down Just as It comes into his head and not to bother then about spelling, capitalization, punctuation and the like, and thathls paper then be evaluated by the teacher on its creative merits. Later, it may be wise to have the child go over this paper again for mechanical accu racies, A mother writes of her son: Honor Roll 'Mf "Last year In high school he was on the honor roll every mark ing period, having all A's and B's. This year he Is taking biology. In two or three tests he received B's, but because he misspelled several of those hard biology words, the B's were taken away and he was given O on his report, which barred him from the honor roll for the first time. He is very much discouraged about this." I wrote this mother advising that her son might easily meet this problem by making it a rule to copy carefully the technical words m each biology assign ment and practice each evening ftt learning to spell them. While that teacher might be unreason able in her demands, she is wise to Insist that her students shall learn to spell the key words in any school subject, Bad Spelling "When our youngest son now an aeronautical engineer entered Junior high school he was a mis erable speller, as were most of his classmates also. Fortunately the principal of that Junior high i school was'very wise, I think. He ' won all the teachers of the special subjects to cooperate in providing typed lists every so often of tl-e technical words of each of these subjects. Every student was re quired to spell at least 85 cf these words before he could go beyond certain stages In the course. w Students. In high school and college who really care about learning to spell well can work out a good self-directed plan. Ac cordingly they will write down each day the words which gave them trouble on that day in thtlr written work, one word to a small sheet or card, and set themselves each evening to learn to spell these words. At the cost of only a few minutes a day, see whs I they might achieve. (My bulletin, "Home Helps for Poor Spellers," may be had In a stamped enve lope sent me In care of this pa per.) One more suggestion: If your son or daughter In high school has trouble grasping the ideas and facts in such courses as chemistry or algebra, a classmate this child looks up to as excelling in the subject might well be hired as a tutor. Very often a successful student makes a better teacher of a lagging classmate than an adult teacher does. I have seen soma very marked successes in Vail direction. - " NG TRIBE NUMEROUS .A SAN FRANCISCO (UP) There are 7 J ban trancisco residents named Ng listed in the telephone directory, starting with Albert L.
