There are, of courae, teen drlnkera who come from abatalnlng home envlronmenta, but theae are the excepUm not the rule. The fact remalna, alcohol-related teen arreata are alarmingly high and the number la growing rapidly each year. Some parenta breathe a aigh of relief when their youngatera uae alcohol Inatead of diuga, reluctant to acknowledge the fact that alcohol la alao a drug, and In terma of coat to ao clety, alcohol la the greater problem. Should the teen be al lowed to Imbibe In moderation at home, hi the hope that removing the uaual tabooa to thla extent will dlacourage outalde exceaalveneaaT If thla were a viable procedure with ataUatlca to aigtport It, alcohoUam among teena would aurely not be the growing problem It la today. When alcohol la uaed by teena — in the home or wherever the probability of getting Into trouble with the lawa of the community Increaaea markedly. The only complete protection againat the poa- alblllty of a teen de- velivlng exoeaaive drink ing hablta la Inalatence by the parenta that there be no drinking, with complete abatlnenace on the parenta’ part being the firm example. However, If thla la not poaalble, ob- aerving theae auggeatlcna will be helpful: Drinking parenta ahould atiive to preaent a conatant example of drinking reaponalbly and In moderaUon. -|~COPE Corner Booklets Provide Anti-Thief Tips The DOPE Oommunlty CMme Watch program will be continued In January, according to OOPS Preal- dent Sam Teamlar. “We run working on aev- enU prc^rartM of Intereat to the community at large In the crime prevention area,’’ Teaenlar aald. “We will announce the date of the January meeting later.” Through the courteay of State Farm Inaurance, COPE haa received a aeriea of bookleti con taining crime prevention bpa.

Drinking in the home ahould never be done for the aake of drinking, or be- cauae “it’a time for a drink.” Ideally It ahould be ahown to be a oormectlon with eating or aodal ac- ttvlbea. Crime atatlatica diow, beyond doubt, the key to the entire problem of teen- alcohol InvDlvement, In the home or away, la baoically wltMn the home environ ment at all tlmea, and la controllable when other drinkeira In the home act reaponalbly. Thla department feela It beat to prohibit teen drinking at all tlmea. Experience ahowa that, to the teen under the In fluence, whether at home.
