Masters, a psychiatrist from Rich- mond, Va., says that regular drinking each night, even if limited to one or two highballs before dinner, can build up a “conditioning,” which leads to alcoholism. This con- ditioning, in a “normal social drinker,” sometimes estab- lishes a “conditioned reflex demand” for alcohol, which can lead the individual to the alcoholic stage. : Dr. Masters also said: “Any time an individual drinks enough to be absent or late to his work and low on the job, he is drinking too much and, if this is regular, or fre- quently recurring, he may be classified as a chronic al- coholic.” Dr. Masters estimates there are between three million and five million “excessive” drinkers in the United States. Of this number, only twenty to twenty-five per cent are alcoholics. Dr. Masters also points out that every in- dividual who consumes a drink or two nightly, before dinner, does not become an alcoholic....Sucha. practice, however, leads a certain percentage of drinkers down the toad to alcoholism and it is almost impossible to foretell whether this or thut individual will fall victim to the disease. . Dr. Masters believes the answer lies in the recogni- tion that alcoholism is an illness. He suggests that large industries set up treatment programs, based on the con- ception of alcoholism as an illness. Those who would have their drinks every night, with- out fail, would do well to study the words of Dr. Masters, Since doctors cannot tell you whether or not you will build up a “conditioned reflex demand,” which might lead to alcoholism, every social drinker should be ap- braised of the risks involved. Not everything branded as socialistic is socialistic, or necessarily evil. What we don’t know is one thing better understood by us than anyone else. We know of no progress which has overtaken our antiquated system of searching land titles. “Despite what some people think, going to Church hasn’t hurt anyone yet, and it helps a great many. You may have any number of good excuses for not doing something, but nobody is interested in any of them. SOMETHING Elected Yet by ARTHUR EDSON (For James Marlow) WASHINGTON #—Elmer Davis, the radio commentator, wrote the New York Times the other day to say, with tongue in cheek, that it had erred when it put this head- line on an editorial: “We have a president-elect.” “We have nothing of the sort,” 9 Ipc N WHICH TO Percentage Of CO? Body Can Stand Tested What percentage of carbon di- oxide can the human body tolerate in the atmosphere over a period of time? This question will be answered at the New London, Conn., Sub- marine Base when the Medical Research Laboratory there ex- periments with 20 men, all volun- teers, aboard the reserve fleet re- . | serve submarine Haddock in mid- January. This submarine, a World War II marauder, wil: be partly reactivated for the project, entitled “Operation Hideout.” The study is expected to provide important information as to the exact percentage of carbon dioxide which can be tolorated for a long period of time. Twenty men will be confined in the Haddock for a . | period of several weeks under con- Yet for 150 years it has success- fully withstood all assaults. ‘Two years ago it looked amendment to change the system. Under the proposed amendment, the use of electors would be done away with. And, instead of all the state’s electoral votes going to the candidate who carries the state, the electoral vote woul? be split in the same proportion as the pop- ular vote. The amendment passed the Sen- 64 to 23 (it needed a two- thirds majority). But opposition developed in both parties and it came a cropper in the House, with 134 votes for and 210: against. Even had the House suppo: by a two-thirds majority, the pro- posal still would have had to be accepted by three-fourths of the | shipping and provided important states before it became a part of our Constitution. The electoral eollege is a@ re- minder that the founding fathers set up a representative form of government. We make our laws through our representatives and senators. And, originally, the vot- ers picked the men who were to =] pick our presidents. “THE CAPTAIN GOT UP ON THE RONG SIDE OF THE BOAT THIS MORI: ' As the political parties grew, the electors became little more than rubber stamps. Why hasn't the electoral college been abandoned in favor of a direct vote for the president The most obvious answer is that it requires a change in the Con- stitution, and this nation always has been slow to make changes there.

A recent nine-day test, in which men were confined in a speci: chamber was the first step” in “Hideout.” Lt. P. P. Newman, project of- ficer is engaged in making the careful and complicated prepara- tions which will be involved in the test. He must find ways of supply- ing all the living requirements for the 20-man group and, at the same time, provide the necessary equip- ment and make arrangements for the series of tests which will be made on the men. These tests will supply the variety of information bearing on this important aspects of submarine operation. Interest in this study is keen and widespread, as attested by the fact that seven men have already made inquires concerning the pos- sibilities of volunteering to act as subjects for the investigation. The USS Haddock has had a long an honorable career and her Present assignment is highly ap- propriate. She was the first sub- marine to carry search radar equipment which permitted her “to see in the dark” and also pos- sessed an accurate ranging device for tracking as well as detecting objectives. During World War II, she ac- counted for 33,585 tons of enemy information on the value of the electronic equipment.

Twenty-five major meetings have been held in West Berlin this year. No other city in. Germany can compete with surrounded Berlin as jan attraction for Germans. It is a symbol of past glory, unity and strength. It stands also as a clenched fist in the face of the Russians, a sure-fire touch of | hegoism for all Germans to ad-| mie, f Many West Germans take a chance coming to Berlin for these rallies. The 100 miles of Soviet zone between the west border and the city contain a lot of pitfalls. As a | result, various organizations ad- vise their membership on the do’s and don’ts of a trip through the East zone to Berlin. The Christian Democratic party issued a pamphlet of instructions | for delegates to its rally here in mid-October. The party that their interzonal passes were good only for the ride ‘through’ the Soviet zone by either train or | ear.

It is the care that is handed out when a studio uncovers a nugget that might turn into a gold mine. Paramount has high hopes for Clooney. Thus you are seeing her pert face on covers of numerous national magazines. She is getting a publicity blast in all media pos- sible. The directors of her first two pictures proclaim that she is the since that vivacious actress left the Hollywood scene. Clooney has been established in the fancy dressing room once queened over by Paulette God- dard. Scripts that were once tai- lored to Betty Hutton’s measure- ments are now being made to fit Clooney. Having won preview audi- ences in “The Stars Are Singing,” she is currently headlining with Bob Hope, Arlene Dahl and Tony Martin in “Here Come the Girls.” But the blonde whirlwind from Maysville, Ky., seems as though} he has changed little from the Tony Pastor’s band. She is sure of herself, but not cocky. She has not been overglamorized by Holly- wood. She is no raving beauty, but she has a wholesome, inquisi- tive face that is more interesting than a flock of glamor girls. As I hustled to keep up with her, I asked if she found movies more difficult than television. “Oh, movies are a cinch,” she replied. ““The only thing that might be hard about movies is to keep camera. THIS ROCK OF OURS By BILL GIsB point to begin for those of whom wish to become mature individuals. Faith in what? Ourselves? Hard- ly. We’re t liable to make mis- takes as past experience proves so well. Faith in material things? Well, they are somewhat more endurable than human beings but they also are subject. to change. FAITH IN.GOD Faith in which all mankind has at one time or another believed to be true. The Faith that there is a Greater Power than material or mortal elements. This God as we call Him, becomes a guidepost our thoughts. Only when this happens do We|depths of the sea, find ourselves on the maturity. Any other road not ori- ginating with Faith in God is mere- ly a cowtrack meandering out into dismal deeadency and disintegra- tion. There are false paths to maturi- ty that each of us stray upon oc- casionally. Sure signs of being on one of these false paths is a feel- ing of insecurity, unhappiness, or bewilderment. At such times we must desperately and — eagerly. strive to return ‘to a Faith in God as we understand Him. This alone will put us back on the Right Road. | Other substitutes can only lead to Faith seems to be the primary more troubles.
