Those present wejj EJ|ly am* Bobby Lay. Wesley Smith, Jerry Miller, Jimmy Mai- and Dan and Vic Freund. Albeit an^ Norman Britz of Woodstock visited Clarence Miller one night last week. Among those from here who attended and greatly enjoyed the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Freund at St. Mary's hall in McHenry recently were the Messrs and Mes- *|?

Sunday guests in the Clarence Miller home were Mr. -and Mrs. Wilfred Klapperich of Johnsburg, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Reef and son, Mr. and Mrs. A1 Weber and son 4)f Milwaukee and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Klapperich and family of ICeHfenry.

Mrs. Fred May, Mrs. Ben May and Mrs. George May were among those from here who at- . tended a shower at the home of Mrs. Kid red Johnson in McHenry in honor of U»e bride-to-be of Jim Johnson.

Thqy lost about $15 g styer. according to records in one fariu management association. Feeding 72-cent coin in 1942. on the other hand, actually brought feeders a profit of about $8 a steer. Dairymen felt the squeeze, too. Ip 1937. northwestern Illinois dairymen produced milk fo^ $1.72 a hundred and sold it for $1.93. a. profit of 21 cents. In 1950 they produced milk for 13.66) and sold it for $3.22, or 44 cents less than the going rate for hired labor. This situation is improving. Since 1950 rising •uilk prices have brought -some lelief to dairymen. One of the big troubles in the \vlioJe situation. Wilcox believes, is that the 1962 dollar buys only 55 per cent of what the 1M2 dollar bought. And higher taxes have also cut into the farmer's buying power and tightened the squeeze even more. Alcfhottr Harm* Everyone H.lcoh«$Lsm. hot a disease in itself, is a major source from which stems many conditions, both physical and mental. One of the unfortunate aspects is that alcoholism not only affects the drinker, but his family, companions and business associates, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a health Jt»lk. While hope for the alcoholic is not a lost, cause, the' somatic and psychologic implications and associations involved * ere ite great problems. *There are different types of alcoholics, in fact, they may be grouped as neurotic, chronic and social. The neurotic type usually takes to alcohol to overcome thi feeling of fiiistraiiot?.< *»iid inhibitions. Perhaps a defe. i in business will inspire: a drinking bout; again a : rsentment agaim** responsibility for family' ob!'gations may be the cause. The , social drinker h product of modern living. Cocktails are .served at nearly all social functions. drinkers can imbibe at an affair in a spirif of convivhlity without being dependent on the need for continued drinking to'build their morale and confidence. The chronic or rogi'.lar drinker is one who uses alcohol -daily or frequently in conjunction with Weals. This type dQes not ordinarily drink to excess and shows none of the nervous characteristics -of the true alcoholic. The latter'type may b^ classified in two divisions, those who ditink frequently, sorrtefimes d • ily. to the polpt of intoxication and those who are considered periodic drinkers, that is they, uidulge hi excessive drinking sprees at intervals , True alcoholism fan lie considered a -public health problem, for the persons falling within this category ' have lost all control and will drihk at. the ex- J pense of family, career and friends. What can be <]oiie for the true alcoholic? Very Htt!? without the patient'? deep-rooted and sincere wish to help himself. While there are medications anc certain drugs available to inducc a severe nausea when even one drink is taken, these are only temporary controls.. , The true alcoholic cannot be helped with threats of exposure of f;hame. Bvep pity or condolence won't help, for there Is no remorse as grent as In the alcoholic who has a fevs days of sobriety. But the urge ta drink is too strong, and he returns to an insatiate' state where he can forget his responsibilities. The alcoholic who is convinced first of his need to help liimseff can be guided to a life of nopnvil living. This cap he accomplished through psychiatric car*. One? he understands this he wfil kRow thai one drink will be Ids undoing. The true alcoholic cannot stop with one drink. fleUcfion is an important factor fjj controlling alcoholism for through it the susceptible person is helped tc a better understanding of himself. That is why Alcoholics Anonymous, the organiaa> tion composed of reformed alcoholics, is successful. While thi£ group has members of faiths, its one goal, applicable to all, is to avoid that first diihk. Alcoholism has no respect for race, creed or class. Persons are affected in all walks of life and, in their respective ways, turn to drink to escape the realities «f existence. The emotionally ma* tu:e person does not attempt to run away from the problems and complexities 6f dally life. He accepts them as *a part of purpd^ eful living.
