If you think the establishment
is showing too much concern
over the use of drugs, consider
the fact that there are now more
than 300,000 heroin addicts in
America.
A great many of them are
High school age, and a large
number are young children.
The figure does not include an
estimated 30,000 to 40,000
Vietnam veterans, and is
steadily increasing.
Maybe you haven’t tried
heroin yet. Perhaps you are just
playing around with glue
sniffing. WTiat you may not
know, but should, is that per
manent brain damage can
result from a single session with

Is it smart to destroy school
iwoperty? Who is the real loser
when students destroy plumbin
and other equipment? Who is
hurt most by the millions of
dollars damage done at the
nation's High schools.
Teenagers in Philadelphia
can tell you. Hard pressed for
funds, the Philadelphia board of
education is cutting everything
to the bone. There’ll be nothing
but academic work, starting in
September.
All eirtracurricular activities
have been eliminated. There
won’t be any varsity or In
tramural sports, musical
organizations, yearbooks,
school papers, debating teams,
or class trips.
What is happening in the City
of Brotherly I^ve is happening
elsewhere too. In hundreds of
cities, sports, bands, choirs,
homecomings are a thing of the
past at all High schools.
This Is the situation in New
York, Chicago, Detroit, Los
Angeles, and a multitude of
smaller communities. In
Philadelphia, there has been an
$80 million cutback, and the
school system is still $20 million
in the hole.
Turning to something
brighter, all teenages should be
proud of 19 year old Evonne
Goolagong, whose victory at
Wimbledon, England, not long
ago made her the world tennis
champion.
Daughter of an Australian
sheep-shearer, and part
Aborigine, she is truly the
year’s teen-age queen. Her
Cinderella story is amazing.

Save anything long enough
and it’s apt to command a high
price, except of course such
perishable items as hen eggs
and bananas. That Mickey

Mouse watch you tossed aside
when it stopped running would
have brought you today more
ten times what you paid for it.
And who at your house got the
bright idea of consigning to the
garbage can that little Shirley
Temple milk cup that came free
with a box of cereal? The things
are a collectors rarity, because
most everybody did what you
did.
Grandpa never dreamed
when, at Grandma’s insistence,
he got rid of all those empty
medicine bottles, he was kissing
good money goodbye like crazy.
Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be a
tidy housekeeper.
But without attics, where can
junk in considerable abundance
be stored with glorious aban
don? TTie fewer closets we have
today won’t hold it, and the
garage is filled with modern
gardening gadgets.
No wonder folks have ulcers.
Human beings simply aren’t
geared to throw away
something just because it
happens to be utterly worthless.
Few men are more to be
shunned than those who have
time, but know not how to im
prove it, and so spend it in
wasting the time of their neigh
bors, talking forever though
they have nothing to say.—
Tryon Edwrds.
