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. (Do you have an alcohol problem ily tea. Young Dulles, a Princeton graduate preparing for a career at the bar, did not take much notice of the pretty girl who was his mother’s friend.

A year later, after he had passed his them, he and Jane Avery were married and moved to New York. Dulles began his law prac tice with Sullivan and Cromwell.
