The not conscious convinced only, in my expej at least, Joy deep emolionai! type conviction. Unless the not con scious part of the mind of the alcoholic is convinced that to drink is an impossible way of Hfe, the alcoholic will usually drink again. If you are interested in basic psychiatry you might try the book, Basic Psychiatry, by Dr. Edward A. Strecler. The chapter on functional illness will help you to understand the above better, I am sure. Q. A friend advised me that all alcoholics are psychopaths, and therefore hopeless and that I should ge ta divorce and not bother anymore with my hus band. Is she right? A. All psychopaths are not al coholics, and all alcoholics are not psychopaths. The psychopath, or as the newer terminology pre fers, sociopath, is one who ap pears incapable of deep emotion al response to life or to others; and appears incapable of learn ing by experience. Perhaps 10 percent of alcoholics have psy chopathic tendencies, but to say that all alcoholics are psycho paths because one 'is a psycho path, is like saying that all co»ws are black and have horns because one is black and has horns. If your husband is an alcoholic, he is a sick man and needs help. Unfortunately, he cannot be help ed until he is ready to accept it. On the other hand, if he is a so- ciopathlc personality, the outlook for recovery from alcoholism is negative. To determine whether or not he is sociopathic you should have him consult a psy chiatrist. Mrs. C. D. Sowell, of the Ches- meanings too, no less pronounced terfield County Council of Farm Women, reports many activities for the past August. Among the recreational features were: The Angelus club had “an old- fashioned picnic and swimming party," and “the Chesterfield club had an old-fashioned watermelon slicing." “Fifty-five members of the Middendorf club and their families enjoyed a fish stew," she reports. And “the Shiloh club members joined the members of their church and enjoyed a picnic than summer or fall; when I was a kid in the deep country. For the past two weeks I have touched on it for them here. Memory harbors no cozier re collections than the cold rainy night. Around the lam-lit fire we sat until the comparatively late hour of 9, studying lessons and getting awful sleepy. Then hur riedly up the dark stairs to our half-story room There we bounc ed on to that new-made feather bed and sunk down into its soft- at Cheraw Beach. ’ “The Page- ness an( j warm th. We could hear land club enjoyed a picnic in the the gentle patter of the winter rain good up there next to the shingles, and how I'd lie there spacious garden , v ©f~ one of their members." "The Vaughn club served a picnic supper and ice cream at the home of one of their awhile before sleep, gentle sleep, overcame me. I would hear the members." The Union club mem- w inter wind blowing on the dark outside, and the cold rain comne down. Then I would wonder how the wild things were faring. And wonder if they too were snug and warm in their abode, as winter did its worst. And winter rain made the icic les possible. Next morning I’d like to go out on the north side and see how long they hung from the eaves. And break the long ones off and use them for walking sticks. The old folks liked to see it too, specially if plenty of dry wood and kindling were under the shed, and the stock was all under the shelters. For it helped with ground water for the subsoil and wells next summer, when droughts often came. It meant muddy roads* and muddy feet trapseing in and out of the house. But we had never known any thing else. So these things were taken in stride. And if it rained on into the morning, hard enough, we’d get 1 to stay from school! But parents I hated that. For a bunch of ruf fians to have to be housed up all day caused mothers to grow gray early. And we too soon tir^d of that. What had been home': soon became a sort of jail, and we were bulging at the seams to get out. But parents felt there was a duty to perform here over and beyond taking care of their own. There were no attendance laws then. But the weeks of schooling were meager. And they never wanted bers enjoyed a night picnic, a family affair. This was at the home of the club president, Mrs. Emma Gardner. A long table .ar ranged in the yard was filled with good home-cooked food. Never have I seen .so much fried chick en and pretty, too. Then the cakes, some askexi if it was a cake show.” Under their new president, Mrs. Ney B. Steele, these fall objec tives were set: Every club to have a booth at county fair, every club to have a special booth at the fall council meeting, and every mem-- ber contribute some article she can make best. These to be sold at the meeting and proceeds go to County Scholarship fund. “We call this selling bur talents," Mrs. Sowell says New Wheats The scientists have given use now and better wheats in recent years. Disease resistance is a big thing in these new varieties. Clemson has released two in thg past few years, Anderson and Taylor. Both of these are’a little late in maturing, they carry con siderable disease resistance, and are high protein soft wheats. Farmers I’ve seen who planted them liked them. Then we have the late Coker wheats and the At las varieties, all good for our area. November is the time for seed ing wheat over South Carolina.

They didn’t want the occa- In the past the average person had turkey once or twice a year. Most likely at Thanksgiving. And then maybe again at Christma^.

And so the weary winter went. that survived the dangers of the free range The breeders have constructed an entirely new and better meat bird. And the grow ers have so streamlined their pro duction methods that turkeys are turned out in fine finish on a mass production basis. Our production potential is limited now only by the outlets we see ahead. At present we are growing a little less than a half turkey per person. And that’s really not much of this choice met for a year’s supply. Yet a crop of that size this year," the largest on rec ord, has rather greatly depressed the price. The growers are there fore having a hard time. But the consumers are having a good time. Folks, now is the time to eat more turkey for once in your life. It is as cheap or cheaper than most competing meats. And the scientists tell us it is the highest FINE FURNITURE Down Through the Years By Maxie C. Collins.

Q. Is it true that fix order to cure an alcoholic who is mental ly ill you 'must first cure the mental illness? A. The word “cure” is not ac cepted by therapists in alcoho lism. We use the term "arrest ed” for insofar as we know there is no cure for -the alcoholic in the sense that he can ever again 'become a normal social drinker who can control when he will drink and how much. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic, for the rest of life. As to the mental illness, it Is true that if ' an alcoholic is also men tally ill to the extent that he cannot function in teaming the neces sary adjustments to sobriety, then naturally his mental illness is a barrier to sobriety -and should be the first point of at tack rather than the alcoholism itself.
