AdtMue, Inimates of the Drug Addiction clinic at Mimico eomtr are rio longer addictad. Thiei~r systemis no longer cry out for the relief and sensa of welibeing brought on by an injection or "fix" af narcotics. But most wivil return ta the habit sonner or later. They no longer need narcotics because they have- been through the "withdirawal" periad, ani agonizing- period. where, cde- prïved of drugs, they sufer uni- toled anguish as their systems ha- came aldj'ustad ta a normial pat- tern. Once thîs stage is past the addict becamnes an ex-addict and hie is physically able ta function ,withouit the use of narcotics. To keep themn fromr returning~ ta drug-s once they are released ia almost impossible task of the staff of the Drug Addiction Clinic. Said clinic psychologist George Duce, "They 'have no- where ta go once tliey are out but back ta their 'old hauints, whicl iînvariably are breeding grounids for' addicts, prastitutes and others who contributed ta their addiction in the first place, Edward Maxted, clinic rehabi- litation offlicer said in order ta stop the ax-addict from ratumn- ing ta. his former ways w-,as to transplant him to an entirely dif- féent envi'ronm-ent. "If we can convince him not toa assciate with the element responsible for bis addiction in the first place", lia said, ha lias a fair chance cf nbstaining_". Pointing ta a file of cards on his deskc, two inclies thick, ha said, "Thera are 80 imnmates who have been treated hera and 1 know wvhare they are and what they are doing in case tliey need help." When hie contacts a prosý- pective employer directly, lie ex- PIained, he lanives it up taele inmiate ta decide whther or nat the employer should be told of' the inmate's addiction. "Thosa convîcted and seint lierac f or addiction, psychologist George Luce said, resenit the law 1 interfarring, tliey can't see they're hurting anyona b t theniselves and thinkl it uiijust." Tiey objeet ta baingy sent ta jail,"'lha said, "for sticking a needie in thair arm." Treatment at the clinie is p_-ri- marily educational, hie said, ta point out by lectures and films the physicai and mental detarior- atian accoampanying narcotic ad- diction. Sadatives and tranquil-i izers are administerad discreet- ly, lie said, sinca once addicted ta. one drug an inmate looks for a comparative rasuit in another. Narcotcs, hie expilainad, dapress thie nervous system and cut off alarm reaction and an addict can lie seriously ii without reahiz- ing it. -Ocetpational tlierapy pînys a large .part in making an inmnate fela i hé îcapable of samnething wvortiwhila.

The Shea group was confident that nothing would stand in the way of 1961 operation, but outý- siders mnerely shook their heads and wjondered.

They simply f elt that he had no idea. what he w.,ras getting into, how much .would hiive to bc, done be- fore a Continental League open- Ing. Mo1st questions 'at this timne are questions of the ignoraxnt, beciuse only Shea, his associ- ates ind advisers actually kno-w the answers, or iff there can be answers. But from a distance tfiere are things you have to poînderiHere are a few of thern: The Çontinental League keeps insisting that the present major., wilhelp with th)e player prob- lemn, passing surplus on ta the new circuit. But how wviil theý inWýportant pension plan be af- fected? Can the expensive pen- sion system ha broadenied ta in- clude the Continental?
