JLA PAGE 14-PLAINDEALER •INFORMATION ON 1 DRUGS' PROGRAM JANUARY 18th (Continued from page 1) % •FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1971 persona* crusade of drawing at- AUTHORITIES SEEK SHERIFF ARTHUR TYRRELL EDWIN CHOATE Avery began his study of the drug problem while attending a small New England college. Because so many of his fel­ low-students were victims of appeals to "tune in, turn on, and drop out," he has made a tention to this serious situa­ tion. While studying the prob­ lem of drug use, he also dis­ covered that nearly fifty percent of serious crime in sortie ar­ eas of our country is drug re­ lated. He states: "About half of the criminal activity in the United States is a result of addicts who are driven to theft or pros­ titution to finance their habit, from drugged individuals who commit crimes while under the influence of narcotics, or from drug pushers and promoters -- who commit a crime with every sale of drugs. These added bur­ dens to the job of law en­ forcement personnel have made their already difficult job al­ most impossible." Before entering college, A- very spent three years in the U.S. Marine corps. His broader experience and added maturity increased his awareness of the tremendous pressures on stu­ dents to experiment with dan­ gerous drugs. He claims' "In most circles today, it's not a question of whether many kids will take drugs. The question is simply when!" Avery concludes his hard­ hitting presentation with rec­ ommendations for parents and for the young to combat this growing menace. He is con­ vinced that "increasing drug abuse leading to disrespect for law and law enforcement can combine to wreck our civiliza­ tion." He adds: "One good way to support your local police is to understand the drug prob­ lem and the real reason why it has become such a signif­ icant part of life in our coun­ try today." He also counsels the general public to "reject the false premise that tf?e po­ liceman's difficulties are the result of his own inadequacies. The courts and the politicians have put handcuffs on the po­ lice and it's time to remove them". DOG AFTER ATTACK (Continued from page 1) to the side of the road about 11:15 Monday night when trouble 'Jjteveloped with his car. As he did, a black and tan dog, with light tan forehead, attacked him and bit Rogers on the leg. When he sought ^emergency treatment at McHenry hospital, the county officer was notified. An investigation through Tues­ day reached thirty persons in four subdivisions in the vicin­ ity of the state park, but no clues were forthcoming on the identity of the dog.

Dr. Johnson asks anyone with knowledge of such a dog to noti­ fy his office in Woodstock. MUSIN' & MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) some good might come from compulsory courses in such fields as manners and humani- tarianism, although it is true that the latter must come from within oneself rather than on demand. Nevertheless, we are convinced that some people without an inherent inclination toward service to others--peo­ ple and things -- might benefit if for no better reason than the lift it would give their own spirit. We are a little tired of seeing hippie-type individuals giving their ideas of feeding the world through benefit of the TV tube. When asked how this can be ac­ complished, we've never heard a much better answer than that the whole thing will take care of itself. It's refreshing to find good young citizens like the Girl Scouts engaged in a humani­ tarian project which can be carried into an adulthood where responsibility may find answers for their goals. It was with no small regret that we missed Alex Justen's LARRY LUND HONORED FOR SERVICE AWARD - ~ (Continued from page 1) Donald Blume was selected as the Outstanding Young Edu­ cator for his leadership and ability in organizing the Bus­ iness Education courses in the McHenry school system.

Through his long postal car­ eer, it was his business to be informed so that he could be?t serve his patrons. Last Sunday, however, he learned how soon one can lose touch when he walked into the clubhouse and found that he had been totally unaware of all the preparations necessary for a TOs-Is-Your- Life type program, followed by dinner. Alex was our mail man, both in business and in the residen­ tial area, for all of the twen­ ty-two and a half years he served the post office. Never did we have a complaint, and this is quite a record in any career. Our best wishes for a happy retirement. We'll miss him! K.A.F.

TO ACADEMY (Continued from page 1) "Hie 12th district has enjoyed An unusually high number of ap­ pointments from among those candidates nominated. This is attributable both to the high academic standards and siqier- ior quality of education pro­ vided by the high schools and private institutions in our area, and to the merit-selection pro­ cess used by this office in naming its nominees." Congressman McClory indi­ cated that he plans to announce his competitive nominees for two appointments to the Naval Academy later this month. In the meantime, applications are now being accepted for those de­ siring to enter the service ac­ ademies in the summer of 1972. Interested young men should ad­ dress their inquiries to Con­ gressman Robert McClory, House of Representatives, 426 Cannon Building, Washington, D.C. 20515. People who believe only what they can understand thoroughly live a life of mental darkness.
