'early childhood. He loved
everybody—and most particu
, larly the sinner—for was not
\ he the one who needed love
the most? It is, conversely,
easy for us to love those who
are lovable—who love us. It
is somewhat harder to love
those who hate us, and who
do us an injustice. Yet here
is fertile ground for our
Christian beliefs and tenets.
Who knows, by a truly shin
ing example, we witness most
fervently on behalf of Christ.
And who can resist respond
ing to kindness and caring?
Jesus was the incarnation
of what He taught. He truly
came, not so much as to teach
the Gospel, but to make it
possible that it be taught. It
has weathered the storms of
many centuries; it has been
“put down’’ by ungodly re
gimes; but it remains a stead
fast rock in the lives of mil
lions, still. It has been the
hope. to which the despairing
have clung, throughout wars,
pestilence, famine. And any
thing which brings such a
deep sense of comfort, of
continuity, of security is most
assuredly worthy of our un
divided loyalty.

Mothers 9 March Volunteers on the Go
All Year to Prevent Birth Defects
Jane Wyatt, National
Chairman of the Mothers’
March to prevent birth de
fects, has a timely message
for everyone—particularly
women: “Don’t get hooked
on ‘harmless’ drugs.”
Since 1963 the popular ac
tress has been leading millions
of dedicated volunteers in a
crusade directed by The Na
tional Foundation-March of
Dimes. Their goal is to end
a severe national health prob
lem that annually strikes some
quarter of-a million newborns.
To hasten this day, women
marchers in all 50 states join
with Miss Wyatt each January
to raise funds for this vital

try, many of which are located
at major medical centers and
teaching hospitals. Throughout
this network, programs of re
search, professional and pub
lic health education, patient
care and community services
are carried out in the care and
prevention of birth defects.
This year, under Miss Wy
att’s leadership, women who
ring doorbells and extend the
familiar envelopes will leave
behind excellent advice about
careless use of medications.
Volunteers, many of whom be
long to leading clubs and
organizations, are distributing
“Don’t Get Hooked on ‘Harm
less’ Drugs!”, a pamphlet that
warns against the devastating
impact that misuse of drugs
may have upon an unborn
child.
Prenatal Care Emphasis
It is certainly possible that
heroin, speed, LSD, and the
like can cause lifelong heart
ache if a pregnant woman in
dulges in them. But what
about the so-called ‘harmless’
drugs—aspirin, tranquilizers,
nose drops, vitamins, ‘diet and
cold’ pills?”
Scientists are studying many
drugs to determine whether
they affect the fetus. For great
er peace of mind during preg
nancy, women are urged to
observe a simple rule: Take no
medication of any kind from
the time you suspect you are
going to have a baby. The ex

MOTHERS' MARCH volunteers are active in March of Dimes com
munity service projects throughout the year. They march in January
to raise funds which help support needed programs in the fight
to prevent birth defects. 1
pecting a baby.
Information material, such
as the pamphlet, “Don’t Get
Hooked on ‘Harmless’ Drugs!”
'is an example of the impor
tance which the March of
Dimes places on the need for
prenatal care. This theme is
stressed in year-round public
health education programs
sponsored by the voluntary
health organization.
Miss Wyatt reports that the
organization has launched pre
natal care programs in more
than 50 metropolitan areas and
hundreds of smaller communi
ties. These projects are done
in cooperation with public
health departments and major
women's service organizations.
In addition, civic and social
clubs, religious and fraternal
associations, youth groups and
churches participate in special
educational projects.
Along with prenatal care
programs, volunteers also are
working closely with local
public health departments and
medical societies in many areas
to encourage widespread use
cuss selecting breeding stock.
On the second of February
Jack Parker will discuss
building construction of swine
houses. On the 9th of Feb
ruary David Spruill will dis
cuss management. All of
these meetings are on Mon
day and will begin at 2
o’clock .at the. Center Hill
of new vaccines against rubel
la (German measles) and Rh
blood incompatibility disease.
Both are major causes of birth
defects.
Progress in Prevention
Other preventive methods
used in the struggle against
birth defects include genetic
counseling and new techniques
for diagnosing some defects in
the unborn child. Surgery on
newborn babies is becoming
more and more successful
in correcting life-threatening
malformations.
The task of preventing birth
defects is still an awesome
one, but concerned women
throughout the country are
making it possible for the
March of Dimes to help chil
dren born handicapped lead
happy, useful lives. “More im
portant,” says Jane Wyatt,
“they are leading the fight to
prevent birth defects from
striking children yet unborn.
They march to bring hope to
future generations and help to
those who need it now.”
Community Building.
On Wednesday, January 28,
the North Carolina Yorkshire
Association will hold its sale
for bred gilts, boars and open

begin at 11 o’clock and the

would like to see as many
producers of peanuts at this

Much Knowledge Needed To Work With Alcoholic :
(Editor’s Note; This is the
third and final article of a
eerie* on alcoholism).
By JETT RAT WHITE
In my preceding articles I

the complex illness of alee

derstands the nature of the
problem. I sincerely hoj i

One might ask, “How can I
Use this knowledge to help an
alcoholic?” First, ask your
self if you still have a feel
ing of resentment or criticism
of that person’s drinking. One
must have the emotional
strength necessary to tolerate
it for a while, knowing he
cannot help an alcoholic re
cover overnight. If you can
face the situation without be
coming panic stricken, you
have achieved understanding
end you can begin to help
him. An alcoholic can sense
resentment and he can, also,
sense an understanding atti
tude.
Think for a moment about
your past attitudes—especial
ly if you are wife or husband
of an alcoholic. Did you
“rake him over the coals”
when he drank, reminding
him of his neglect of the fam
ily, his failure to accept re
sponsibility, his weakness of
character, etc.? What did it
accomplish? Did you wallow
in self-pity at being married
to an alcoholic? Did you
bear your heavy burden in
silence, withdrawing from all
outside activity, shutting
yourself and your family
from the world? Or did you
secretly enjoy the words of
sympathy? In either case,

If you are the husband or
wife of an alcoholic, “Look at

race.” Now that you, the
husband or wife, have joined
the human race, a good place
for you to start rejoining is
the nearest Alcoholics Anony
mous group. There is one
near you. Look in the tele
phone directory. Every AA
group has open meetings.
Seek the advice of AA and
steer the alcoholic toward AA.
Should he express no inter
est in accepting treatment at
this time, drop the subject.
You may have accomplished
more than you realize. Your
change of attitude, your re
fusal to allow his drinking to
disrupt what peace of mind
you may have attained, will
start him thinking.
Wait a day or so and cas
ually leave some literature
you have read where he may
notice it. Should he begin to
show interest, try not to act
surprised; do not be tearful;
do not make an issue of it.
Don’t rush out to make ar
rangements either. Only he
can make the decision to ac
cept treatment. Let him
make the decision as any ma
ture adult would; don't try to
take credit for it.
The alcoholic cannot ac
complish this tremendous task
alone. Generally he cannot
make up his mind that he is
going to stop drinking and
start rebuilding his life on a
more satisfactory level of ad
justment. Most alcoholics try
to do this, and they invari
ably fail when they attempt
to use their own inner re
sources exclusively to accom
plish it. Their emotional
problems are too deep for
self-analysis. They need to
cooperate with others just as
they need the cooperation of
others.
