Parker said a large per-
centage of the people to whom
he talks admit someone in their
family has a drinking problem.
Dr. Edmundo Ruiz, head of
the Family Counseling Ser-
vices in Laredo, advised that a
person working with the
problem should be
discouraged. “When you save
one, you may save 100 and not
even know it,” he said at a
meeting he conducted here.
Sometimes the stigma at-
tached to problem drinking can
be used as a help, Ruiz said.
“So long as they feel it is a bad
thing, at least they do not
approve of being sick,” he said.
“Make the community aware
this service exists,” he ad-
vised.
Parker termed alcoholism as
a fatal illness. Alcoholics
usually get killed in other ways
related to drinking first, such
as being killed in a wreck or
being shot in a tavern.
Alcoholism will result in death
if left unchecked, Parker said.

"Dodge can sweeten the good deal
you make at The Dodge Boys.
With a check for $300.”
Joe Garagiola
Listen to ol’ Joe G. I’m gonna tell you
how to make the deal of lifetime on the
"Dodge of the Week.” Right now, during
the Car Clearance Carnival at the Dodge
Boys.
Here’s how:
Every week from now till February
16, the Dodge Boys will pick one gorgeous
Dodge as "Dodge of the Week.” Could be
a Monaco. A Dart. A Coronet. Even a
pickup or van. Now you hustle down and
make the Dodge Boys give you their best
deal on that Dodge. Then, find out how
you collect your check from Dodge for at
least $200. But there’s more. Trade in the
right car on the "Dodge of the Week,” and
you get a $100 trade-in bonus. That’s a
total of $3001
But there’s more to the Car Clear-
ance Carnival than "Dodge of the Week”
deals. Through February 28, the Dodge
Boys are offering other great deals on all
75 Dodges. They’ve got a lot of cars to
move. And they’re gonna move ’em.
And—even if you don’t end up buy-
ing a new Dodge, you might end up
driving one. Just by entering the Dodge
Boys’ Clearance Sweepstakes.2 Each
sweepstakes winner (and there’ll be
plenty—so one could be you) gets free
use of a brand-new Dodge for one whole
year. You’ve got nothing to lose. You’ve
got nothing to buy. All you gotta do is
come in for full details.
But hurry. If you’re not driving a
new Dodge by the end of the Car Clear-
ance Carnival, it won’t be the Dodge
Boys’ fault.
‘Sorry, only one "Dodge of the Week" deal per cus-
tomer. Retail customers only.
“Sweepstakes ends February 28.1975. Void in states
where prohibited by law. Open only to licensed
drivers 18 years old or older.
Be sure and register in the
