Workman G- E- Tunshlln Letter To An Alcoholic: Dear Bill— Today I want to talk with you about some key words to the al coholic recovery. You will hqar these words again and again a lit tle later, when I hope to intro duce you to that wonderful group known as Alcoholics Anonymous. They are words vastly important to any alcoholic who sincerely wants to stay sober. The first of these words is AD MIT. You admit you are an alco holic. You admit that something has happened to you to make it forever impossible for you to take a drink and stop. You admit that your life has become unmanage able, and that while insisting on trying to manage your life, you have made a miserable failure of the job. For the alcoholic, AD MIT is the first of many keys to the door of sobriety and peace of mind. The second word is ACCEPT. You may admit intellectually that you are an alcoholic, but never truly accept the fact. For instance, I am a diabetic. When I developed an immense thirst, an enormous appetite, yet started losing weight and never felt like working, I knew something was wrong. The examination show ed diabetes. It was a blow, yet I had to accept the fact that I could never again eat the pies and cakes I like so well; that I must take insulin every day as long as I live; that I must balance insu lin, food and exercise each day. Without honest acceptance of my condition I would try to fudge a little now and then: maybe eat a piece of cake; or take a coca- cola; maybe use sugar in my cof fee; maybe leave off the insulin. But ACCEPTANCE of the dia betes prevents these things. So, the alcoholic who AC CEPTS his alcoholism stops toy ing with the idea that some time, somehow maybe he will be able to drink '“normally” again. He accepts total and permanent ab stinence as a way of life, but he stays sober just one day at a time. ♦ Acceptance means that you stop rebelling; you stop fighting; you stop fesenting the fact that this thing has happened to you. Do you remember the boy who was brought into my office as you were leaving? He is blind. One day he drank methyl alco hol, and nearly died. He did lose his sight For a while he drank worse than ever, but now he is staying sober because he has AC CEPTED his blindness as well as his alcoholism. The day the al coholic ACCEPTS his alcoholism as a fact he ceases to flare up in anger when a loved one cautions him against taking a drink, and instead of anger, feels and ex presses appreciation for the love and concern being shown. Sincerely, Maxie (By WILLIAM C. LAKE) Union—Vice-President Andrew Johnson, who became the 17th president of the United States on the death of Lincoln 88 years ago, once lived in Union county and plied his trade as a tailor. As a ypung man Johnson lived at Carlisle, then known as Fish Dim, a rich farming community 14 miles' south of Unioa A historical sketch of Carlisle in the Union Times of Dec. 17, 1897, said: “In the town of Carlisle An drew Johnson ,who afterwards became president of the United States, served these people as a tailor.” It is not known whether An drew lived at Carlisle before or after living at Laurens. The late L. G. Southard of Spartanburg, an authority on tha life of President Johnson, said that Andrew left Raleigh, N. C., where he was bom, and moved to South Carolina. Andrew, then a young man, was accused of smashing a win dow glass in a dwelling and was threatened with arrest. To es cape arrest for a thing he did not do he decided to leave the state. Mr. Southard said Andrew and his mother put all of their earth ly possessions on a one - horse wagon and they drove into South Carolina. At Chapel Hill, N. C., the fu ture president and his mother stopped for a rest As they pull ed out Andrew afterwards said that: “I looked back at the Univer sity and yearned for an educa tion/’ In Raleigh at the age of 10 he became a tailor’s apprentice. And according to the story that is told he was serving his apprenticeship when he ran away. The tailor to whom he was bound inserted an advertisement in the papers of fering a reward for Andrew who had left him before completing his years of apprenticeship. After living at Laurens and Carlisle earning a living for him self and his widowed mother as a tailor he removed in 1828 to Greenville, Tenn., Here his biog rapher tells us that he worked at his trade for about a year. He married Miss Eliza McCardle, who taught him writing and arithmetic. In Greenville he entered public life and began his political ca reer as an alderman. Then to mayor, the state legislature. And cn to congressman and governor of Tennessee. Thence to vice- president and president. U. S. Steps Up Its Atoms For Peace Plan Washington, Feb. 12.—The Un ited States stepped up its atoms for peace program today in an evident bid to strengthen friend ships with nations outside the Iron Curtain. The Atomic Energy Commis sion, in the first transaction of its kind, announced the sale of 10 tons of heavy water to India for use in a reactor devoted to nuc lear research. Among other things such reactors are useful in re search to improve agriculture, mdeicine and industry. The A EC expressed hope the sale “is only a first important step in a broader collaboration in this field.” The announcement was n\ade just a few hours ahead of a con gressional report saying India needed heavy water for its rapid ly expanding research work in atomic energy and commenting on the “hallowness" of Russian offers to help other nations. An assurance that India could rely on this country for a supply of heavy water, the report said, genuine cooperation from the United States that is needed to prove our good intentions.” Heavy water, or deuterium ox ide, is used as a moderator to slow down neutrons and control nuclear chain reactions. Ten tons is sufficient for an experimental reactor. '' President Eisenhower has pro posed an international pool of atomic materials and know-how under the U.N. to speed the glo bal use of atomic energy for power and other peacetime uses, but the pool has not been set up. would “constitute the kind of Secretary of State Dulles has noted that although Russia vot ed in favor of a U.N. atomic clearing house, it acted with res ervations and “without any ma terial support for the agency at this time.” Hence the United States to enter prompt-friendly nations inidvidually. In a speech at Philadelphia to day, Director Theodore C. Strei- bert of the U. S. Information Ag ency said public opinion pools in Europe indicate that Eisenhow er’s atoms-for-peace plan has “completely reversed" pessimism that nuclear power would benefit! mankind. “The atoms-for-peace cam paign has been our most notable success to date,” Stre»bert said.
