Marihuana: Its use is a felony Conviction, even with a suspended sentence, may cause interruption of education. difficulty in obtaining a driver's liccnsc in some states, entering a profession, getting a responsible job While marihuana, which is a narcotic, does not cause physical dependence, it may lead to "psychological dependence" if taken regularly There is no current conclusive evidence that marihuana is "medically safe " Research it currently being conducted to find out more about its physical and psychological effects 2. USD: Its effects can differ at times in the same individual. There is no way of predicting whether a "trip" will be "good" or "bad " And days, weeks, even montht after using LSD. the things the user experienced while on the drug may recur unexpectedly. The LSD experience can v>mctimcs be disturbing enough to cause acute and cveji long lasting mental illness. 3. "Hp* and Downa": Excessive use of amphetamines ("ups") can drive a person beyond his physical endurance and leave him totally depleted physically, since he feels like neither eating nor sleeping. The body develops a tolerance to these drugs, with larger and larger dotes required to feel the effects Long-term heavy users are usually irritable, unstable, and may suffer social, intellectual, and emotional breakdown Abrupt withdrawal ("crashing") for the heavy user can result in a deep and suicidal depression. Barbiturates ("downs") can. in regular and excessive doses, become physically addicting Overdose, or abrupt withdrawal for a heavy user, can cauie death.

Narcotics: Heroin is physically, as well as psychologically addicung Large, or unexpectedly unadulterated doses can result in death The addict's main object in life hccmnat setting the drug.

D C 20013 LOCAL ROTARIANS HEAR GOVERNOR AT CONFERENCE (Continued from page 1) cent increase in direct aid to junior colleges. The Governor stated that this is the first year such a search­ ing review of educational costs has been conducted, adding a promise that the search will intensify next year.

A rotarian himself, the Gov­ ernor explained in detail his plans for aid to'public and pri­ vate lower education. He said UPSETS IN THE the formula he is proposing will assure that money goes where it is needed. His proposal for state aid to private schools brought a mix­ ed reaction from the large as­ semblage. However, Mr. Ogil­ vie called the need for such aid "clearly urgent." The subject of pollution also was discussed at length by the Governor. He is asking $15 million for pollution abatement, but said so many politicians are jumping <mi the bandwagon that the most significant noise pol­ lution may be caused by their speeches;' Albert S.

Sample Survey Of Employment Made In Area The Bureau of the Census will conduct a sample survey oCem- ployment and unemployment in the Chicago area during the week of April 19, Theodore F. Olson, director of the Bur­ eau's regional office in Chi­ cago has announced. The households to be in­ terviewed here are part of a scientifically designed sample of the entire U.S. population. Hie employment and unemploy­ ment statistics are collected monthly by the Census Bureau for the U.S. Department of La­ bor to provide a continuing measurement of the economic health of the Nation as'a whole and of its major regions. Quetf* tions similar to those in the survey also are included in the 1970 decennial census. Census Bureau officials point out, how­ ever, that the monthly survey is essential as the source of current national employment data that can be obtained quick­ ly. As in the decennial census, facts about the individual and the family collected in this survey ,are kept completely confiden­ tial and the results are used only to compile statistical to­ tals.
