Bayne B. 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

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.
