GABLE’S BACK AND CARSON’S GOT HIM BURTON AND , JUSTICE BLOCK CO. Have CONCRETE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR SALE For Information Call R-560-1 or R-650-6 THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... ! -_ GEORGE: “Yes, I certainly would like to hear why you call that an old fashioned idea, Judge.” OLD JUDGE: “Glad to tell you, George. Until recently, a person known as an al coholic was generally treated as a social outcast. Little if anything was done to understand him or help him. But, during the past few years, medical research and study has developed that alcoholics are really sick people... that there is usually a deep rooted physical, social or emotional reason ,! behind their behavior. That’s why today so much is being done to help them by finding out and correcting the condition that leads them to excess.” GEORGE: “How many folks ar# there like that, Judge?” OLD JUDGE:" Well, according to scientific research, 95% of the people who drink, drink sensibly. 5% do so unwisely, at times. Included in that 5% is the small percentage of the sick people I’m talking about.” GEORGE: “That certainly gives me a clearer picture. It’s the most sensible ap proach I’ve ever heard on the subject.” This advertisement sponsored by Conference of Alcoholic Beverage Industries, Inc.
