J963). Chronic Alcoholism In "Today's Health," John E. Gibson reviewed some of the myths about chronic alcoholism. The first myth is that moderate drinkers don't live as long as teetotalers. Actually, moderate drinkers live as long as anyone else; it is only the heavy drink er who shortens his life. Myth number two is that heavy drink ers are longer-lived than non drinkers. This just isn't true. Myth number three is that alcohol will warm a person when he is cold. Actually, alcohol can give a cold person a temporary sensation of warmth, but it does this because the blood vessels in his skin dilate and thus carry more blood. This makes the man feel warmer. But a warm skin can cause a man to lose body heal, and hence alcohol is a bad drug to take when a person is exposed to great cold. Do drinkers have a different personality from that of total abstainers? Yes, studios made of hundreds of men and women showed that three of four of those who drank even moderate ly, smoked, while less than one total abstainer in 10 used tobac co. The drinkers preferred activ ities of somewhat more exciting natures, while the abstainers were more sedate. An exploded myth is that people are often driven to drink. The evidence indicates that they usually walk to the bar because they want to. Dangerous as Tranquilizer Does liquor actually help a person temporarily to overcome his anxieties and fears? Yes. But it can be dangerous to use alcohol as a tranquilizer. The more alcohol does for a person to make him feel happy and social, the more dangerous it will be for him. Lillian Doth wrote in her book, "I'll Cry To morrow" that the first drinks she had one evening were de lightful because they so took away her fears and inhibitions and feelings of shyness that she could be happy, loving and out going person that she wanted to be. But because three drinks could do so much for her, she found herself terribly enslaved by alcohol. Are extroverts more affected by liquor than are introverts? Yes; this has been shown to be true. Can one become an al coholic without ever drinking alone, or ever touching hard liquor? Yes, studies have shown that many a chronic alcoholic never drank alone; never drank more than beer, and never got obviously drunk. Are people right in warning a man when, each morning, he feels he has to have a drink or two before he can start the day? Yes; it is a bad sign when a man starts drinking before noon. Will a man be safe if he never takes a drink until supper time? No, but it can help in keeping him from becoming an alchoholic. There is a type of chronic alcoholic who does all his heavy drinking before he goes to bed. Do alcoholics really see pink elephants? Yes; but they rarely do. Someone in a clinic once kept a record of the types of animals seen by alchoholics in their "DT's" (delirium tremens tremens meaning trembly). Fifteen said they saw dogs and insects; 14 saw snakes; 10 va guely saw animals which they could not identify; nine more saw creatures which they could not describe; four saw ele phants, only one of which was pink. Called for Protection Many years ago, as an intern in a huge free city hospital, I was impressed by the fact that most of the men I saw with DT's did not tell me about seeing ani mals; they kept begging me to protect them from people who, in their dream - like hallucina tions, were attacking them. I remember well the terror in the voice of a man who called me repeatedly to protect him from people who had piled brush on him, and were setting it on fire. Is drinking responsible : for criminal behavior? Yes: the per centage of alchoholics who run afoul of the law is remarkably high. Two out of three of 1600 men in a penitentiary were found to have been alchoholics, and half of 900 women prisoners were similarly afflicted. Many a young man commits his first crime while drunk; and authori ties agree that many a crime would never have been commit ted if the person hadn't first be come befuddled with alcohol. Sometimes a man gets drunk so as to have enough "Dutch cour age" to commit a crime. Does alcohol stimulate the flow of ideas? Yes: in some per sons drinking will for a while in crease the flow of ideas, but of ten those ideas are boresome and silly. The man's talk is al most certain to be stupid if he gets drunk. Many a writer, j unripr the influence, has written i something that, at the time, he j thought was great literature. But next morning, when he look-1 ed at it, he was puzzled to find j it to be gibberish. Is alcohol a stimulant? No; i it is a depressant. It seems to be a stimulant because it re-1 moves inhibitions. What should a man say when . a party wants to keep from ! drinking? Dr. Howard W. Hag-, gard used to advise that the! man say, "I'm so allergic to alcohol, I just can't take a drop." Any courteous host should promptly accept this ex cuse and quit begging the per-1 son to drink. j President's Foreign Aid Plan in Trouble WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen ate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen said Tuesday that President Kennedy's foreign aid program was in "deep, deep trouble" because of a "harder appraisal" by Congress and the country. The Illinois Republican would not speculate on how much of Kennedy's original $4.5 billion authorization request might ul timately be approved by Con gress. But h i s statement, made in an interview, supported specu lation that the administration may finally get little more than the $3.5 billion voted by the House. Chairman J. William Ful bright, D-Ark of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which went back to work on the bill at a closed session Tuesday, agreed that the program faced difficulty. But "it's always in trouble," he told reporters. Multnomah Hotel To Be419-Unit Retirement Home PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) -The Multnomah Hotel here will be converted into a 419-unit re tirement home next spring, it was announced Tuesday. In a joint announcement Pres ident Edward E. Carlston of Western International Hotels and President Regner V. Kull berg of Lutheran Homes and Hospitals, Inc., said they had completed negotiations for the transfer of the hotel to the Lutheran organization. Carlson said the Multnomah will continue to operate as a hotel and convention center un til about April 15. Dr. Kullbcig announced the appointment of William S. Skans Jr. as administrator of the home, to be called Multnomah Manor. No purchase price was announced. Carlson said the decision to sell the Multnomah was due mainly to a loss of revenue caused by newer hotel and mo tel facilities here. He said West ern International Hotels will continue to operate the Benson Hotel. Skans said the living units in Multnomah Manor will be priced from $2,500 to $22,000 for a lifetime lease. A 47-bed infir mary will assure fulltime med ical care. New Exams Announced For Civil Service Jobs New examinations are open to fill several Federal civil serv ice positions.
