To Ignore
Kick Seekers Not New
By Oswald and James Jacoby
£
-4,
The list of substances people use to
shield — or as they may think, to sharp-
en — their minds against the ryde de-
~ mands of drab reality is almost as dizzy-
ing as the effects of some of them.
They rapge from the powerful heroin,
morphine, LSD and STP through a long
series of less potent stimulants, depres-
“sants, barbituates, decongestants and
chemical vapors such as glue, gasoline-,-.
carbon tetrachloride and paint thinner.
Almost every chemical or drug or
weed or flower imaginable has at one
■time or another been tried by the kick-
seeking fringe of the population. As new
” drugs are developed, they too find their
way to the shelves of the underground
psychedelicatessen.
Lest we think that the current wave
- of drug use or abuse is a sign that a
new fall of Rome is upon us, however, it
may be useful to realize that drugs have
been a phenomenon, if not a problem,
in almost every culture.
The pleasurable use of opiates was
wellknown among ancient civilizations,
says the American Pharmaceutical-So-
ciety. A sumerian clay tablet describes
a “joy plant" that is thought to have
been opium.
Marco Polo wrote of the famed As-
sassins of Arabia, who enlisted recruits
by giving them brief visits to paradise
with the help of hashish.
--. When the Spaniards arrived in Mexi-
co,, they found the Aztecs worshiping'a
variety of cactus and mushrooms. One
of the substances, peyote, was called
» “the flesh of the gods." Indians in South
America derived a substance similar to
LSD from morning glory seeds and the
leaves of the coca plant (cocaine) were
sacred to the Incas.
In the 19th century, hippies of that
day' held ch tofoform parties' and ether-
sniffing jags. The philosopher William
James experimented with nitrous oxide
(laughing gaS) to find the psychedelic
truths it conveyed, although that word
marijuana, peyote, LSD, STP — are
sacraments ... If it flips you out, turns
you on, bjows your mind, it’s holy.’’
“The mischief is not really in the
drug but in the people.”
Explorers Finished
----------After 500 years of the Age of Explor-
ation, the words “Terra Incognita” have
. been removed from the last remaining
area on earth untrod by man.
The exploration 'irf Antarctica has
now been virtually completed as a result
of an 815-mile traverse across the white
continent by a nine-man party of scien-
tists from the United States, Belgium
and Norway.
“Our journey marked the culmina-
tion of a three-year onslaught on the last
large unexplored region of Antarctica,” ,
reports Norman Peddie, a U.S. Depart-
ment of Commerce geophysicist and
leader of the expedition.
I* “There are now no major areas
which have not been explored, although
many of the details remain to be filled
in.” *
By PAUL HARVEY
Baytown Sun Columnist
The notion that lawmen
should just stand there and let
the lawbreakers shoot first Is
nonsense. We've been brain-
washed by a generation of fic-
tion writers.
The fact is that our wild West
was tamed the first., timeby;=iB
lawmen who shot< first.
When Chicago Mayor Richard
Daley recently issued a direc-
tive to his police to shoot to
kill arsonists and shoot to crip-
ple looters, he aroused a wail
of righteous Indignation. *
“Inhuman,” the sob-sisters
bleated. “Immoral,” some cler-
gymen protested. “Un-Ameri-
can!” cried the professional pro-
testors.
The critics don’t know what
they’re talking about.
Coincidentally, I visited Tomb
stone, Arlz., and Dodge City,
Kan,, within the week that
Mayor Daley stuck his neck
out. I had an opportunity to
cull the old, files of the Tomb-
