"Pooling it togethei as a team enables the construct ion of a realistic course of study which is best for Junior.'' The parent neglecting to come togeth r with the principal and i his child does the youngster an in- just ce, the eghteen-year veeran educaor warns. Jus' what subjects Junor selects should be determined larg;ly by the vocation he wishes to enter, Dr. Blanton advises. Careful ana lysis by the team is especially ne cessary to estrmate Junior's abil- i'y to succeed in his :hos n pur sue If the vocation calls for college education. Junior must take cer tain courses to meet college en trance requirements such as a lan guage, which many students prefer detouring. Schoolmen acquaint themselves with college and uni versity requirements. If the team decides it's best for Junior to end his formal education, at high s;hool graluation, a varie ty of courses should be selected to familiarize him with the world in which he lives and prepare him for responsibilities of a demo cracy. The average high school offers several vocational courses. In these Junior may learn a worthwhile J occupation.

The greatest need of the hour it not to win ' more Christiana but to gel those who say they are Christians to .act like Chris tians. If this goal could be rea ched others would be won as a matter of automatic result The non-churcher cannot be reached by a. non-going church. The re ligion of Jesus does not consist of a creed but rather a way of life. Because we do not realize that we want the name without the responsibilities, His protect ion but not His power, the bles sings without the obligations. We speak of ourselves as the "soldiers of the cross," and we should. But General Apathy still has a large part of Christs' army under his control. Toot many are half - hearted followers. And a half - Hearted believer can never render whole-hearted service and therefore receive a whole-hearted joy. we say, Lara, remember us and we do not remember our Lord. We say "Lord, give us this or that" and We give Him so little in return. Jesus said that if we had the faith the size of a grain of mustardseed we could move mountains, but many of us have reversed that promise. We want faith the size of a mountain without offering to move a mustardseed. D. L Moody once said, "I am only one, but I am one. I can not do everything but I can do something.

'"V U- ' 1 1 ' MAMY By AKAH LEE Case Worker with Duplin County Department of Welfare - Alcohol is very Important to an, alcoholic because It satisfies a deep ne d which he 1 unable to meet without the use of alcohol. Occa sionally the problem drinker knows his reasons for drinking ex cessively, but more often he only recognizes his need -to drink but doesn't know why. Fellow non-alcoholics of the person with an al coholic problem are usually not even able to realize that alcohol means anything to an alcoholic The majority of these well-meaning people continue to believe that an alcoholic is mean, weak-willed, and foolish and that he deliber ately gets drunk be;ause he wants to. - The compulsion of an alcoholic to drink Is sometimes so strong that he has no more control over his drinking than the obese pre- son has over refusing sugar. Most of the general public refuses to re cognize this and they ridicule and deride the alcoholic as if he had committed a crime. Alcoholism is recognized as a psychosomatic ill- nes in that the symptoms are emo tlonal and physical. Many other diseaseses incfuding ulcer and mig raine headache have the same sym ptoms but the victims of these dis. eases are seen as sick people by their friends en'd acquaintances. These- same friends who have a feeling understanding toward the ulcer victim see their alcoholic neighbor as a doomed drunkard. The only difference in these Illness is that one reacted to his emotianai them areas of the cotton belt both in farming methods and in risks.

The majority of 'alcoholics would much rather be sober than drunk and after each drinking bout it is his firm belief and wish that he will never drink again. ' After a while the same needs or similar ones which caused the alcoholic to drink previously will plague him again. The alcoholics' family and friends have told him many times that they disapprove of his drink ing and he is well aware of that Not only have they told him, they have also shown him by their re action. Due to this,, a 'person with a compulsive urge to drink alcohol is usually ashamed to tell anyone that he wants to drink because th Individual being told always in- sists to the alcoholic that he know he doesn't want to drink, after all the trouble alcohol caused him The alcoholic is positive that he has a terrific need to drink and his well-meahing friend denjieg this rather than let the problem drink er elaborate on happenings that led him to have the deslre to drink again. - So many members of our society have a tendency to push the alco holic down rather than help him up. They kick him instead of giv ing a pat on the back, degrade in stead of compllmwnt, gossip In stead of understand and withhold Instead of offer "help. Many people feel pity for the alcoholic but most alcoholic don't need or want pity but would welcome some under standing. Only the alcoholic knows the agony of needing desperately to drink and at the same, tone Wanting desperately to stay sober and not knowing which desire will win over the other, Many times the attitudes of those around him will decide for him-with help and - understanding, the alcoholic December 31 1952 , $ 23,317,649.16 . f ry . i-r4- sass M md sWsMaw, Member Federal Deposit Prepared by Department ef Bible' v PrMbyterlaa Junior College i?: Maxton, North Carolina .'
