Alcoholism Declared Public Responsibility
Rotary Speaker Discusses Work
Of Alcoholic Clinic, Commision
What is an alcoholic?
Is he the steely drinker, the
man who occasionally drinks to
excess, or the individual who can
stop at two?
“The distinguishing mark of an
alcoholic,’’ says Clinical Psychol-
ogist Joy-Hurt, “is that he cannot
control his drinking.”
Miss Hurt, a member of the
staff of the Southwest Clinic and
Commission on Alcoholism in
Lubbock, addressed a dinner
meeting of the Rotary club in
Wayne’s Restaurant, Tuesday.
Telling Rotarians of the work
accomplished by the clinic in
treatment of alcoholics, Miss Hurt
said that the alcoholic suffers
from an ailment which compels
him to drink to drunkenness again
and again although he may be ful-
ly aware that he is damaging him-
self physically, hurting his fam-
ily and ruining his business.
The ailment causes a deterior-
ation of the whole personality. It
is depressing. And though Ihe be-
havior of an alcoholic may be un-
pleasant and frightful, the alco-
holic is not a congenital weak*-
ljng nor a moral delinquent as
sometimes charged.
“These actions are symptoms of
the disease,” Miss Hurt says. “But
the man himself remains worth
helping and he can be~Relped.”
Material presented by Miss Hurt
indicated that problem drinking
is on the increase. The problem
drinking is in part the effect of
the war and’the post-war condi-
tions and insecurities' in the world
situation.
“The problem of alcoholism i$
so acutely befoe us . . . that there
are estimated four million alco-
holics in the United States today
of whom 750,000 are in the final
stages of the disease,” Dr. E. M.
Jellinek of Yale University was
quoted as saying.
It was pointed out, however,
that the character of this drinking
population counts even more than
its size.
“Five out Tif six alcoholics are
men and 85 per cent of these are
between 30 and. 55 years, just at
their best earning level and often
the parent of young children. Con-
trary to general belief, most alco-
holics are not in the lower social
and economic strata.”
Amonft other pertinent facts
compiled and presented to Rotar-
ians in a booklet was the follow-
ing information:
“At least twelve thousand in-
dividuals die every year from al-
coholism. . . Two-thirds of the
county jail population is made up
of alcoholics,•''eighty to ninety per
cent of the population in munic-
ipal or private shelters are from
this group. . . . Excessive drink-
ing plus disease, crime and pov-
erty resulting directly from ex-
cessive use of alcohol costs this
country annually $750,000,000. . .
Health authoi'ities rank alcohol-
ism with cancer, heart and vene-
ral disease as a public health
menace.
The Southwest Clinic and Com-
mission on Alcoholism is made to
help this group of unfortunate
humanity, says( Miss Hurt. It is
made up of a group of ministers,
medical doctors, lawyers, mem-
bers of Alcoholic^ Anonymous and
citizens who are interested in the
problem of_ alcoholism and waut
to heli> carry aid on a community
level so that people in general
will have a better understanding
and so that the alcoholic himself
can be helped.
It is a non-profit organization
designed to hospitalize, re-edu-
cate and rehabilitate the alcoholic
and which-will work with any and
all organizations who are doing
something about helping thte
problem drinker. The clinic, how-
ever, has no official connection
with Alcoholics Anonymous or
any other organization.
The clinic has outlined its ob-
jectives thosly: ,, ■—~
“Through research, education
and clinical work, our object is
to give every alcoholic proper
diagnostic care and thorough un-
derstanding of their particular
problems.
“To see that each patient with-
out complications other than al-
coholism be ptit in touch with his
Alcoholics Anonymous group.
“To make sure that wife, hus-
band and family of the alcoholic
understand their problems and
how they can help.
“Through constant contact fol-
low up the progress of the alco-
holic after he is released from the
clinic and to make sure that he
is put in touch with an Alcoholics
Anonymous group wherever he
may live.”
Rotarians were told that .
“Alcoholism is a disease, and the
alcoholic a sick person—alcohol-
ics ran be helped and-are worth
helping . . . alcoholism is a pub- ,
lie health problem and therefore
a public responsibility.”
John Potts f introduced the
speaker.
L. L. Beehtol of Brownfield was
the only Rotary guest. Royce
Blankenship was the guest of
Jack Clapp.
If the grapefruits you’ve bought
aren’t quite as sweet as you’d like
them to be for usual half-grape-
fruit service, try broiling them.
Spread each half with honey, dot
■with butter or margarine, sprinkle
lightly with cinnamon and broil
carefully until tops are lightly
browned.
MALAYA TO FIGHT
CORRUPTION
KUALA LUMPUR. Malaya
(AP)—Freedom-bent Malaya is
out to ri dthe country of corrup-
tion, widespread among its gov-
ernment officers. Its legislative
council has passed a bill to achieve
this. Bribery now is a non-seizable
offence. Police have no special
powers for investigation. The
court is denied the opportunity to
hear certain evidence.
The new bill removes these ob- i
stacles. It gives government the
power to order inspection of bank
books and provides for heavier
fines and longer teams of impri-
sonment.
You can make applesauce cake
into a special dessert by serving
it with spiced whipped cream.
Just sweeten the cream to taste
and spice it with a little cinnamon
and cloves, and add a dash of salt.
Add the spice lightly so you get
the flavor just right.

For a delicious cream of car-
rot soup use chicken stock for
part of the milk when you make
the cream sauce. Sprinkle with a
few chopped chives before serv-
ing, or use parsley instead.

Dallas Man Said To Be Motivating Force
Behind Southwide Simultaneous Revivals
Frozen Foods Topic
Of Demonstrations
“Freezing Foods for Home Use”
is the title of the demonstrations
being presented this month to
Hockley County home demonstra-
tion clubs by Mrs. Jewel Robin-
son, home demonstration agent.
Working in connection ith the
demonstrations is the E. L. Banks
Implement company of Levelland
which is providing International
Harvester home freezers for the
demonstrations.
Scheduled for today is a dem-
onstration at the Anton club.
Demonstrations are set also at
Whitharral for April 19, Smye:
April 20, Sundown April 25, Lev-
elland Home Builders April 26
and Levelland Southwest club
April 27.
Demonstrations have already
been given at the Ropes, Locket-
ville and Levelland Farm Home
clubs.
At the present time one of the
freezers is on display at the coun-
ty home demonstration agent’s of-
fice on the second floor of the
Hockley County Memorial Lib-
rary building.
Principal speaker at the meet-
ing will be the director of the
American College of Life Under-
writers of Philadelphia.
Wooden matches struck in the
U. S. every day, says the National
Geographic Society, contain wpod
enough for 25 sixroom houses.
Dr. C. E. Matthews, superinten-
dent of evangelism of the Home
Missions board of the Southern
Baptist Convention, though he
would be the first to deny it, is
reported to be the “human drtving
force” behind the present revival
being conducted in some 8,762
Baptist churches west of the Mis-
sissippi.
The story was recently dug up
by a newspaper reported at Dal-
las. .. ’
Dr. Matthews was quoted as
saying he had thought about such
a revival often, but that it actual-
ly got rolling in January, 1948. At
that time Dr. Thomas P. Haskins
of the Baptist General Conven-
tion of Oklahoma called Dr. Mat-
thews from Oklahoma City and
suggested the big “crusade.”
“I had in mind that we should
try one throughout the entire
South,” Matthews said, “But it
looked too big and overwhelming,
“About that time, it seemed that
from every directionl came letters
and telephone calls from men
scattered over the South, asking
for this crusade and in my estima-
tion), if anything in which I’ve
ever had a part actually came
■from God, this did.”
The revival is scheduled to con-
tinue through April 23 in most
Baptist churches in this area.
Its purpose, say Baptist lead-
ers, is not just to add more mem-
bers to the six million plus rolls
of the SBC, but to “introduce
thousands to Jesus.”
Born on a farm in Missouri, in
1887, Dr. Matthews was twenty-
seven years old before he joined
a church. At thirty-two ne cTecicl-
ed to be a preacher. He enrolled
at the Southwestern Baptist The-
ological Seminary in Fort Worth.
He became pastor of the Travis
Avenue Baptist church at Fort
Hera'td - Sun-News Want Ads Pay
Worth and its membership was
increased from 209 , to 8,000 in
twenty-three and one-half years.
It was this outstanding w|k
that elected Dr. Matthews to his
present position on May 1, 1946.
He took over the job the first of
1947.
His doctor’s title was awarded
him by Baylor University in 1947.
It is all part of the story of the
revival which Hockley County
Baptist Convention churches are
taking part in today. %
