Pot user objects
to ‘loser’ label
By ROBERT
WALLACE, Ed.D,
■ Copley News Service
Dr. Wallace: la one of
your columns you said that
a person who drinks booze
and smokes pot is a loser.
How can you make that
statement? I'm 20 and have
been getting high for the last
five years.
I agree that the majority
of boozers and potheads are
losers but I happen not to be
a loser. I am a college stu-
dent and work as a messen-
ger for a highly regarded
law Arm in Columbus.
- Pot and alcohol haven’t
interfered with my goals in
life. I have great drive and I
plan to be a success. Ail this
and I smoke about IS joints
a week. It used to be 20, but
I couldn't find the time and
had to cut down.
I used to think you were
cool until now. You insulted
me. — William, Columbus,
Ohio
William: I didn’t mean to
insult you and you weren't
the only person to write
complaining about pot
smokers and alcohol con-
sumers being labeled lasers.
Maybe losers was the wrong
word and a bit harsh.
Instead of losers I’ll sub-
stitute the word misguided.
Those who need drugs or
alcohol to forget reality or to
escape life’s problems come
down from "highs” only to
face reality and problems
once again. It’s a cycle and
the user can never win.
Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and
last summer, while riding
my horse, I met a young
man, 24. We dlscoverd that
we enjoyed each other’s con-
versation, love of horses and
company greatly. He is a
horse trainer and a brick-
layer and does quite well at
both.
During his high school
years be was a bit wild and
our gossiping neighbors
have told my naive parents
that he is no good and this
caused them to stop me
from seeing him.
The fact is this boy has
changed and is now a won-
derful, sweet man. I really
care for him, and riding
horses with him was the
most enjoyable time of my
life.
It doesn’t help matters
that I’m 5-foot-8 and this
fellow is S-toot-S. My parents
aiso know that his father
died an alcoholic. Please
help me out with my par-
ents. — Robin, Elizabeth-
town, Ky.
Robin: Your problem is so
common but there is no sim-
ple answer.
All I can offer is time. As
time passes, parents mellow
because if they don’t, they
risk the possibility of
“losing” their son or daugh-
ter. The time has come
when you, not your parents,
are responsible for the com-
pany you keep and the
friends you see.

ert Wallace, TwEEN 12 and
21, in care of this newspa-

Despair,” please send 81

Jack Rogers "Hosts"
AARP Newlywed Game
A covered dish supper was
the higlight at the Feb. 4
meeting of the American
Association of Retired Persons.
One-hundred and thirty-two
members and their guests
gathered in the fellowship hall
of Wesley Methodist Church for
the affair.
Members and their guests
were seated at tables decorated
in the Valentine motif. The
invocation was given by
Maurice Kelty following the
pledge and the singing of
"America.”
Club president Bill Passons
called the meeting to order
followed by the reading of the
minutes by secretary Minnie
Bell Hargrave. Other com-
Love is Theme
For Waverly
Club Luncheon
"Love” was the theme at the
Waverly Club’s annual
Valentine luncheon held
Friday, Feb. 8 in the Woman’s
Building. Tables decorated in
the Valentine theme featured
white and red hearts and were
centered with African Violets.
While club members
assembled Miss Virginia Knox,
pianist, presented musical
selections. Mrs. W.A.
Carothers, club president,
welcomed club members and
read lines of poetry on “Love”.
In keeping with the Valentine
motif Mrs, Earl Payne inr
troduced Mrs. lee man Teetes
who reviewed the narrative
love poem, "Evangeline", by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Miss Bonnie Booker, Dairy
Festival Queen, and Miss
Connie Baucom, Waverly Club
representative to the 1980 Dairy
Festival, were introduced at the
session.
Hosts for the luncheon were
members of the social com-
mittee which included Mrs.
At Wit's End
By Erma Bom beck
If I had known the ’80s were going to give birth to a
youth cult, I’d have taken better care of my body.
It’s a little scary the way things are going. First,
Bert Parks was let go because the Miss America
pageant officials wanted a “younger” image .;.. like
John Davidson.
mittee reports were presented
with the membership com-
mittee chairman announcing a
goal of 200 members for the 1980
year.
Jack Rogers, music director
of the First Baptist Church, was
introduced to the group as the
entertainer for the evening.
Rogers hosted a Newlywed
Game with four couples from
the group who had married in
the past four years. Couples
participating were Mr. and
Mrs. Bert Anderson, Mr. and
Mrs. Demis Dawson, Mr. and
Mrs. Harris Irby and Mr. and
James Powell. Mr. and Mrs.
Irby were declared the winners.
The meeting was adjourned
with a prayer by Bill Passons.
Then Mike Douglas’ contract was not renewed and
someone suggested his audience was growing older
with him and perhaps a younger host was needed ...
like John Davidson.
I even heard someone say recently (who had just
returned froim a Ronald Reagan rally), “The
Republicans could use a younger man . . . someone
like John Davidson.”
The way things are going I predict that by 1985,
every public official, every talk show host, every
sports figure, yea, every man over 50 will be replaced
by a John Davidson clone.
It’s only a matter of time before Big John Mc-
Davidson walks to the microphone of the Tonight
show and introduces his look-alike, “Hereeeee’s
luivtcc VTI1IUI UK.1UUCU 1YU.S. JOlUl! f
Henry McCorkie, MriSrGil&ert , And how about the dean of CBS News saying, “This
n„r, D j js jqJjj, Davidson... and that’s the way it is.”
Can you imagine John Davidson replacing George
Bums and saying, “At my age, I get excited when my
soup is hot,” and no one laughs?
Can you honestly see Santa Claus as a bearded John
Davidson? Would you have the same feeling for
finger-lickin’ food if you saw Col. John Davidson
spinning arond in a bucket full of chicken?
J for one cannot imagine a world without the silver-
haired set: the Henry Fondas, the Cary Grants, the
Walter Cronkites, the Leonard Bernsteins, the Joe
DiMaggios, the Robert Penn Warrens, and the Fred
Astaires.
Every time an older man or woman dies... part of
our past dies with them. They all own a piece of our
lives which can never again be created. When they
are gone, we are at the mercy of our memories.
When I look back and try to remember the most
impressive human being I ever saw, it has to be a
night in Kentucky when I saw an award being given to
Gen. Omar Bradley. He was confined to a wheelchair,
but as the flag was unfurled, with some difficulty, he
pulled his body to sitting attention.
He was the most beautiful 85-year-old John
Davidson I had ever seen.

Doris Ashby, caterer for the
luncheon.
Jr. Waverly

The month of January took
members of the Junior Wavely
Club on a "get away weekend”

the home of Mrs. Billy Hager.
Charles Moore of All World
Travel Agency was the guest
speaker setting the scene for
the meeting. Mrs. Judy
Gilreath experimented in the
kitchen of Mrs. Buck Thomason
preparing a special treat for
club members.
A brief business discussion
was held and the contribution of
a new dishwasher to the
Hopkins County Opportunity
Center and the presentation of
Texas and United States flags to
the Hopkins County Regional
Civic Center were announced.

Yes, drink the water
DEAR DR LAMB Peo-
ple are advised not to drink
too much coffee, tea and cola
because of the caffeine, and
not to drink too much decaf-
feinated coffee, not to drink
too much milk and not too
many fruit juices which may
cause frequent trips to the
bathroom My question is,
what should a person who has
a chronic bowel problem
drink? I personally can only
drink so many glasses of
water a day and then I need
something else.
DEAR READER - From a
health point of view, it's kind
of hard to improve on water.

was doing when she manufac-
tured it. Of course, we've done

This Store Gives Checks
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)
— A persuasive bakery shop
manager convinced a would-
be robber to take her per-
sonal check instead of the
store’s money.
Aletha Crowe told police
Friday the man looked at
doughnuts, pulled a gun and
demanded money, saying he
was doing it only because he
needed some money for his
sick baby.
The manager talked the
man into taking her personal
check for $25, then cashed it
from the cash register.
When police arrived, she
handed over the check
payable to “Bruce Pear-
son.” Police are still looking
for the robber
Have We Got A
Shortage For You
BOSTON (AP) - The
driving public may finally
have found a shortage it
likes — this city is running
out of parking tickets.
Nicholas Foundas, legal
adviser to the Boston Police
Department, says meter
maids and police officers
have only enough tickets for
a few weeks.
There was no immediate
explanation why, but Capitol
Police, who patrol the area
surrounding the Statehouse,
say they're already out.
Police say the immediate
solution is a step-up in
towing of illegally parked
cars.
