Feo have de CONCERNS ALL OF US __ Several local candidates are reported te be uneasy because of the comparatively few residents of Monroe count; who have qualified to participate in the May prim- aries. As the county stands today. only about one-third as many perscns have reg- istered in comparison with the 4.917 Key Westers who qualified to participate in the city election last November.

Of what consequence is there in living in a free country, if the greatest privilege | in that country is disregarded? As well | live in a country where one votes as one is directed to vote. Aside from those important reasons. there is another reason that vitally affec Monroe county, and that is a possible de- crease of our influence with men in public office because of a great falling off of the number of qualified voters. 1 Two years ago we proudly declared | in Monroe totaled } that the registration list 2, but how many qualified voters will | of your | “MX Blans can wait,” said Aunt : Emma.

Understand ‘you saw it before we did.” OLD JUDGE: “Well...it’s true most of us never see a case as extreme as:that in real life because they are so few and far between. But it does point out one thing... chronic alcoholics are abnormal people and we've got to change our ideas about how to help them.” CLEM: “in what way, Judge?” OLD JUDGE: “We've got to realize that excessive drinkers are suffering from more than a craving for alcohol. According to psychiatrists and medical men at one of our great universities, the alcoholic is a sick person. The study of hundreds of cases shows be.is suffering from some physical, social or emotional condition... just as in the case of that poor chap in t ‘ture. Fortunately, they represent only a very small percentage ‘of those who drink. TED: “Is anything being done te really help these folks, Judge? OLD JUDGE: “Yes...a great deal in clinics throughout the country. And with the cooperation of the beverage distillers who sincerely want thew product used only in moderation.” “Tampa welcomes the Reds Ga and all of ahem Chest Colds This adsertisement sponsored by Conference of Alcohoite Beverage Industries.
