spendjijg pennies to protect our
yoerta from the ravages of alcohol
addiction or drug addiction. Yet,
alcohol addiction and drug addic
tion can wreck our civilization just
as surely as can an atmoic war.
One way to solve the problem is
to prevent it. Parents who have
been brought up in the drinking
tradition, and who permit their
children to drink socially should
understand that without the first
drink there will never be an al
coholic. If every drop of alcohol
in the world were destroyed to
day—there would still be several
millions of sick people to deal with
because of alcoholism. But the
millions of alcoholics as yet un
made—they may be prevented.
Total abstinence is the only way.
Parents should recognize that
their children learn self-respect;
duty to self and family; duty to
human society; duty to God, in the
home.
The childl earns life first of all
by watching his parents, seeing
what they do and how they react
to life.
The teen-ager is in a dangerous
age—dangerous to himself and so
ciety. He needs love, sympathetic
understanding, and a close under
standing relationship with his par
ents. He needs faith in God.
If one boy or girl is saved from
alcoholism by this warning, it will
be ample reward for the years of
labor that went into the making of
the convictions it expresses.
