Because there is such pressure in our society to drink socially, many people feel that in order to live a complete life they must be able to drink. There is also substantial pressure in our society to be able to 'handle' drinking; that is, to be able to drink heavily but to not lose control. Due to these two pressures, it is often necessary for an individual to deny that alcohol has become a problem and that he-she has developed the disease of alcoholism. In the early stages of alcoholism, the denial process is relatively easy, since the symptoms of the disease usually do not occur every time the person drinks. As the disease progresses and control Charles Michels of Johnsburg and many nieces and nephews.

It is usually at this point in the disease that the people around the individual become concerned that drinking is a problem. The denial then becomes two-fold; to deny to others and to d^yto oneself that drinking is a problem. As the disease moves into the later stages, denial becomes more and more difficult, until the fact that alcoholism is present becomes an absolutely undeniable reality. It is at this time that treatment of the disease is possible. To the people around an individual with a drinking problem it is extremely frustrating to deal with the denial and excuses for the drinking behavior. There is no way to force acceptance of the fact of alcoholism on an in­ dividual, but Alanon, an organization for spouses and other concerned individuals around an alcoholic, can provide a much needed support system.

Then came a request for the City Council to use its influence on township and county officials in behalf of the Village of Lily Lake. That was not so fine. After a heated discussion McHenry's city attorney stated that the Council meeting was no place to discuss the issues. The visitors felt that prejudice was shown and bowed out.
