About two I Ears agd my husband started E drink in a very mild way. ■e said that the medical plo- Sjssion advocated a man past Brty taking a drink now and Men. However; the now and pen has become every day., I flfe not mind at home for l oan Eke care of him. .However, ev- when we go out for a fide he has to take two drinks nd sometimes he takes a pint pith him and on the ride may top for a nip or two. Then then he goes to football games rith his friends he always takes pint with him- Wihat I am oneerned about is his driving, ometimes when the family is ttut on a ride he tries to show (hat a good driver he is by feeding and tnen weaving the ar from one side Os the ■ road b another and I am afraid we rilL have a serious accident, /hat can I do? ' . f —Worried.- Worried: > ■ | From What you write it would |eem that your husband has |jtarted as a mild social drinker jbid is progressing toward be Eg a steady drinker and ap parently is on his way to be coming an alcoholic and nspds helpv Alcohol has been knofvn gndithas been used in many forms since the dawn of civiliza tion. It is the mis-use of alco hol that brings on the problem. It is both a moral problem as well as a medical one. For peo pie in their late forties and up wards the medical profession itoes advise Certain people* to ■fake half ap ounce or an ounce tM whiskey an hour or so before Heir evening meal. This tsps Irculation by dilating the ar sries and aids digestion. But rom a medical point of view ie use of Whiskey beyond this pint can become dangerous and problem. Drinking becomes a ioral problem from two points f view: First the break down & an individual’s character to Cpoint that he cannot solve his Jtbblems without two or three Kinks. But this drinking does ( mbit solve his problem, ihe only i files alcohol to bury the problem' fithporarily, and after the influ- j the alcohol has worn off. §fm\\ - ■ | tHOHUb SAYB. ; J j K > _ x. ■ I a fact that more than I Sp ■ ~ T i -* ‘ ■ ■ 2,000,000 drivers enjoy Nation* ■ drink k said his problem looms much larger, more terrifying and more diffi cult to solve. The other point is a break down of an individ ual’s responsibility to other peo ple. Some men react differently under the influence of alcohol. Some become boisterous and demonstrative; others become very quiet; some want to show their prowess in various ways; others become reckless and want to fight. Any man who drinks before and during the time that |he is driving a car is a danger ous person Snd forgets his re sponsibility to himself, his fami ly and other people cn the road. It is a well known fact that the reflexes of an individual under the influence of alcohol are much slower than a person who is not under such influence.! Therefore, wnen a man under j the influence of alcohol comes j up with a traffic or driving I problem on the road he is apt i ;to re-act too slowly, improperly j and thus bring about a situation where a serious accident may oc cur. Many of the reports on! highway accidents indicate that! alcohol has been the main cause,! i resulting in overspeeding, taking j unnecessary chances and re-act ing improperly under traffic con ditions and hazards. He is dan geous and that is the reason that various state legislatures ’ are considering laws penalizing a driver who is found under the nfluence of alcohol while driv ing. Such a driver loses all sense of his responsibility to his family and to others on the road. The fact that your husband tries to demonstrate his skill while driving may indicate that he has some deep seated problem within himself that he has not been able to solve and he tries to bury it in alcohol, which weak ens him in his attempt to solve the problem and the situation becomes worse. My advice to you is to show this column to your husband; have a heart to heart, talk with him; you try to find out if he has a problem and if' there is anything you can do to help him solve it. Inas much as your husband has not gone too far would indicate that you have a great opportunity to e ind out what is bothering him ] and helping him to solve it with j the assurance of your .help and i sympathy. Under no circum- j stances should vou be critic*’ i will he held .

If this does not help him write in again and there will be other suggestions. Dear Three P’s: My son is seventeen and will graduate from high school next year when he hopes, to go to college. However, he claims to have fallen in love with one iof his teachers who is twenty eight and Whnts to marry her. While I realize that this may I be a calf type of interest, never j theless nothing that I can say will make- him change his mind. I The teacher is an attractive per son and I have nothing against ! he--. — A Mother, | Dear Mother: • c is not uncommon for . youngsters to become infatuated with their teachers. As you say |it is a sort of calf love which often wears off. Os course, there are cases where the situation be - comes serious and it becomes a problem particularly where the teacher encourages the affaii Oftentimes in changes of classes and teachers the affair is for gotten. However, if in your own mind it would appear to be real serious, my suggestion to you is to call upon the teacher and' have a frank and open talk with her. You may find that she' herself does not have the slight est interest in your son. At least this will let you know what the teacher fee's about the af fair. If this does not solve the problem drop me another line.
