One Year...................$6.00 Six Months..................$4.00 MARIJUANA SHOULD NOT BE LEGALIZED The danger is growing in this country that marijuana will be legalized. To do so would be disastrous for two reasons: 1) we do not know how harmful marijuana is; 2) it leads to the use of heroin. (Ninety percent of heroin addicts started out on marijuana.) How harmful is marijuana? You will not find out from M.D.’s who work for companies that want marijuana legalized so they can reap financial gain by exploiting the sale of it. Far better to rely cn insurance companies, whose profits depend on keeping people healthy. According to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, marijuana causes psychological addiction, leads to loss of energy, loss of ambition, loss of motivation, and causes hallucinations. In the words of the New York Daily News: “It makes him or her a good-for-nothing bum.” Dr. D. Harvey Powelson, director of the Student Psychiatric Clinic at Berkeley, has treated 500 student marijuana smokers over the last five years. It appears to have a cumulative effect, he said, causing chronic changes “similar to those seen in organic brain diseases — islands of lucidity intermixed with areas of loss of function.” According to Dr. Frank Ayd, many of those who want to legalize marijuana disregard expert medical opinion that it is “a dangerous drug.” Nor do they tell the public that there are at least six different types of marijuana. While increased doses may induce stupor, semicoma or coma, any dose “may cause anxiety, depres sion with suicidal tendencies, confusion, depersonalization, temporal disorientation, impaired judgment, panic reac tions, paranoia and psychosis.” Every year, according to the insurance companies, 30,000 Americans are killed and more than 500,000 are injured on America's highways because of alcoholic drivers. Legalization of marijuana and widespread pro motion of the drug could double the number of persons killed and injured on our highways. The recent report of the President’s National Com mission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse recommended dropping all penalties against possession and use of mari juana “in small doses ' On behalf of your children and grandchildren, it would be well to write your Congress man, or the President directly, and tell him how you feel about it. U.S. Press Association Journal Classifieds Bring Results! I am opposed to the wilder ness concept primarily because it benefits so few at the ex pease of so many. There are 9,925,352 acres of wilderness and 4,363,954acresof primitive acres in the United States to day. This makes an area of 14,289,306 roadless acres. These are acres in which there can be no mechanized equip ment other than guns to kill game. According to forest service figures there were about 1,000,000 people who used these acres. No other group in this I have been informed that backpacking is just about the least expensive of all sports. This is absolutely true IF YOU DON’T CONSIDER TIME AS MONFY, BUT if you are one of the common working stiffs with only 2 weeks vacation to look forward to, back packing isn’t your bag. Most of our young people have very young children and are adverse to taking their children out of contact of medical facilities. There are millions of others who are incapable of hiking far into the wilds due to bodily infirmities. I always wanted to pack back into the wilds but when I was younger I was too busy making a living and now I doubt if my legs could take it. At the present time I could hire a registered packer but in a few years even that source will be gone, because I doubt if the wilderness buff will be happy when he sees a packstring entering his private 25 acres. IN APPRECIATION 1 wish to express my thanks and appreciation to my daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Eddy Sharp, for the excellent care I received during my ill ness. Also thanks to my many friends for the lovely cards, flowers, visits and other acts of kindness. --Mrs. Alzina Salter. nr n » ^■|||| HS y OUT OF ST.
