Kan. - Doc t- and priest, welfare chief and nroMcutor, therm and editor, hare joined in a commoa effort to make the "aeroa" count agaia ia thin rural community. They're membera of a remark 'ja organization knows at the Sumner County Council an AJco- fe-Hsm. "Akoholica art tent ia their immunity." Dr. Karl E. Void er, mm ef the council"! founder. aid. "Moat of them don't eon tibutt anythinf . They don't even fix up their backyards., ."And that makes them a com munity . responsibility. The alco holic must bo helped to live with himself again-he has to team one mora to be a food husband, father and neighbor." , The council pita the weight of immunity resources la an intea : Jva campaign against alcoholism, tiich has been described as the nation's biggest unsolved public health problem. Kansas' Stats Commission on Alcoholism helped launch the project and supports H. Lewis An rrews, executive director of the agency, says the group probably .ia mique on the American scene. The idea was to determine whether-and how a small town caa tackle the complex problem' m Its own. Today everybody con p ected with the axoerlment is -leased with the results. ' " ! 2reeatly Feaaded Tounded less than two years aV the council It sealously prop- V axatlog the view that alcoholism I I a medical as well as a moral iwoblem. Its earthy, homespun ap woach has paid off in reclaimed individuals and reunited families. Wellington,, is a county seat of tome 1. 009 residents In south cen t's Kansas. Its situation with s resoeet to alcoholism Is no worse, i md perhaps a little better, than ! in most similar places. But al coholics aren't rarities, hern as anywhere else. . There are tome four million problem drinkers in the United Slates, authorities say, and eco nomic losses attributed to them run to too million dollars each year. In Kansas, which repealed prohibition only six years ago, there art an estimated. 21,100 al- eonoucs. . . v rsblle tappers ' Because of Its broad community roots, the council has managed to enlist considerable public support This is ail tht mors noteworthy In a town where weta and drys are (airly evenly divided. The wets current! hold tha edtt. ' : - The council la active not only as a guidance agency, but also aa an "jr' " rnfT.' that WO iJi Ui snwvit, furnisbet speak- en and lecturers, shows movies and distributes literature en tut subject of alcoholism. Its message is simple! Alcohol ism Is a disease not a sign of degeneracy or weak character. And the problem ia a public re sponsibility which can be met only at each citizen does hit part in the community effort. Council member Stewart New lin, editor of tha Wellington Daily Newt, sees to it that tht group's viewpoint and activities are fully explained to the community. Fanner Teacher ..
