A "junkie” used to be thought
of an an addict, one who Is hook
ed on heroin or .some other high-
I'.owered drug. But a numlit'r of
people are "junkie.s" today who
have never seen heroin. |
Amphetamines and barbituar-
ales are e.ombining to make junk
ies out of every d.ay people, and
most of those people aren’t even
aware of the fact that they’re
hooked. |
According to the Public Health
Service, an Increasing number of
people are bbcoming dependent
on amplietamines and barbituar-
ute.s. 1
"Authorltie.s consider the bar-
bituarates highly dangerous when
taken without medical advice and
prescription,” .says a pamphlet
published by the PHS. “Because
these drugs are commonly pre
scribed by doctors, many people
mistakenly consider them safe to
use freel.v and as they choose.
i
Keep It Beautiful
If America hired people for the job, it would take the
largest sort of army to keep our country free of litter.
But there’s no need to hire anyone. It’s a job we eSn
do for ourselves. All of us. Every family that spreads a
picnic lunch. Every boatman who cruises the lakes and
waterways. Every motorist who uses our roads and
highways.
It is the pleasure of the U. S. Brewers Association
each year to give its fullest suppprt-to the Keep America
Beautiful Campaign. Remember; Every kilter Bit Hurts.
This is our land. Let's treat it right,

They are not. Overdose can cau.se I
death.” j
The pamphlet goes into .some i
detail about tlie elfects of bar- j
biturates: "Barbiturates distort
how people see tilings and slow,
down their reactions and re
sponses. They are an important
cause of automobile acclUentg, es
pecially when taken together
with alcohol. Barbiturates tend to
heighten the effects of alcohol..
"Users may rea’cl to the drug
more strongly at one time than
at another. They may betsime
confused about how many pills
they have taken, and die of an
accidental overdose. Barbiturates
are a loading cause of accidental
poison deaths in the United
States.
"Because they are easily ob
tained, and produce sleep readily,
barbiturates are also one of the
main reasons people choose to
ecmmlt suiside."
And here’s what the pamphlet
says about amphetamines: "When
properly prescribed by a physi
cian, moderate doses can check
fatigue, and produce feelings of
alertness, self • confidence and
well-being- In seme people, this
is followed by a let-down feeling,
or depression hangover. Heavier
doses cause jitterincss, irritability,
unclear speech, and tension. Peo
ple on very large doses of am
phetamines appear withdrawn,
with emotions dulled, and they
.seem unable to organize their
thinking.”
Actually, what the Public
Health Service is loiling' is
what most of us know already.
Don’t use prescription medicines
in any way except as prescribed
by a physician.
During the first nine months
of 1969, morethan 187,000 motor
ists were arrested in North Caro
lina on the charge of speeding—
an average of more than 20,000
every month.
Heie's Tips
For Eye Strain
Health Oilicci:
UAI.Einil — During the long
a inter evenings, many families
spend their lime watching tele
vision. These long hours of view
ing may cause family members
to suffer from eye weariness or
strain, unless tliey have good
viewing habits remind-s, -Mi's.
Edith Mc'Glamer>', extension lious-
Ing and house lurnishing.'; .special
ist, North Carolina State Univers-
iiy-
She offers those tips for televi
sion enjoyment:
First, make sure the glass pan
el in Ir.int of tlic set is absolutely
clean. Next, check for shiny ob
jects or lights that may reflect in
the television screen.' If there are
reflections, changing the positions
of lamps near the television sot
may got rid of them. In other
cases, you may do well to move
the set to another location.
Because of tlie brightness of the
screen, you need a moderate a-
mount of light in the room when
you watch television, Mrs. Mc-
Glamei-y says. It’.-: uncomfortable
tor your eyes to try and adjust to
the strong eontra.st of the bright
screen and the dark room. How
ever, soft light around the tele
vision set helps to reduce the con
trast between screen and room,
she points out.
Ask family members to sit a
distance from the screen; so
they’re not looking up at it. Also
try to locate chairs so the view
ers W'on’t have to look at the
screen from an angle.
Although some persons try to
sew or read while they watch
television, this is not recommend
ed. It is hard on the eyes to fo
cus from a distant object to a
closer one and back to a distant
object.
Help yourself and other family
members enjoy television by eli
minating those things tliat cau.se

Woman-Driver
"Put On
Biggest loke i
Perhaps the olde.st joke in 20th-
century America is Hie woman
driver put-on, according to The
Travelers Insurance Ce-mpanies
annual booklet on higliwuy acci
dent statistics.
Of the 68,000 drivers involved
in fatal accidents in 1968, only
10,000 wore women.
However, a Travelers spokes
man notes that “the big gun in
this battle of the .sexes Is Hie
canard that women are emotion-
aily incapable of handling a ear
in an emergency. Or than an ig-
noraniv of anything mcchanljii!
makes it impossible fur them to
understand how to dilve salely.
"Some women DO get rattled
e.nslly,” the spokesmati oonceeds.
"Some women ARE bewildered by
nuts and bolts. And precisely the
same can be said for some men,"
he added.
Statistics in the booklet prove
many rea.sons why cars crash:
speed too fast for conditioris:
driving on the wrong side of the
road; did not have the right of
way; cutting' into a line of traf-
fic; passing on curve or hill; pass
ing on wrong side; failure to sig
nal and improper signaling; reck
less driving, etc. Sex of the driver
is not a proven reason,
j "The fact is,” the spokesman
sairi, "there are many more male
d: vers who drive many more
' miles than the average female.
Until we have figures indicating
the number of miles driven by
male vs. female, the woman-driv
er joke will remain no more than
a put-on.”

In many ways, this monument

cine of the University of Califor
nia at Los Angeles, comments:
'.Many of Bell’s perceptive in-
sights and challenging questions
merit the same careful consider-
ittlon as il thev apiieared in 1969
insteail of 188.3.”
The book literally has every- |
thing, but earefully avoids an em- i
pltasis on .sex, drugs and violence. 1
What's more, few books itvail-
able say so much vv itii sucli eco- -
tiomy of .style and objectivity. i
While several themes can he:
found in the Telephone Dire .'lory,
petltaps the most significant is
the question of whether or not

Overflowing with liumanity, tlie
