In an upper room in Jerusalem the night before His crucifixion
Jesus communed thus with His rather in the presence at His dis
ciples. ‘Tor their sake I consecrate myself.” Our loving Lord was
preparing to lay Himself upon the altar of sacrifice
If we would follow Christ and taka our Christian vocation serious
ly, we, too, must engage in an act of self-consecration. Counting the
cost, wa must devote ourselves wholly to God and His service.
A certain emblem in art perfectly expresM* the response that befits
us Christians in view of what our Saviour Christ has done for us. The
emblem is an extended open hand which holds a heart ablaze in
flame. These words explain the symbol: “My heart I give Thee,
Lord, eagerly and sincerely."
Let us remember Jens Christ and worthily respond to His deep
est desire. Let us give our whole personality to God in passionate
consecration. Then, and only then, can wa begin to live aa Christ’s
men and women dedicated to His service.

Alcoholism Todov
By Maxie C. Celliaa.
Fabrview Alcoholic
tion Cantor. RidgeWay, S. C.
Q. How many alcoholics are
them in tha United States? Is it
true that we have a larger per
centage of alcoholics than other
nations? I need this for a high
school theme paper I am writing.
S. W.
A. Estimates of the number of
alcoholics vary very widely. A
few yean ago 750,000 was gener
ally accepted aa the figure. How
ever, aa study of the problem has
increased the estimate has stead
ily risen. Today estimates vary
from four million to twelve mil
lion. At Fairview we use the
middle figure of six million.
However, there is no conclusive
census of alcoholics, and cannot
be because so many keep their
alcoholism hidden. Yes, we do
have more alcoholics than some
other countries. There are va
rious theories on this question,
which time and space forbid dis
cussing at this time.
Q. My son drinks, but says he
is not an alcoholic. Ha gets drunk
every week-end, starting Friday
soon after he is paid off and by
Saturday ha is drunk. He sobers
up and goes bade to work Mon
day, but it seems he is getting
worse. Is he an alcoholic? “Con-
owned Mother.”
A. You have reason to be con
cemed, for It is probable that
your son is an alcoholic. An al
coholic is one who drinks to the
point where it interferes with
normal living, i.e., the happiness
in his home, his work or busi
ness, his social life .and (2) who
after taking one drink cannot
stop until he has run out his par
ticular drinking pattern. As a
rule week-end drinkers are alco
holics, and their week-ends of
drinking become longer end
their working period rfiorter un
til they stay drunk all the time.
This may take months, or rt may
take ten years, twenty yean.
There is no way of knowing. The
one h^ng we can positively say
is that the course of alcoholism
is downward and always wors
ens. Each drinking period is
worst than the one before it We
are sending you our test for alco
holism, and if you will have your
son fill it out and return we will
gladly mail the result to you.
Q. I have your letter in which
you refuse It accept my brother
as a patient unless he comes of
his own free wiU. How do you
expect us to persuade him to go
anywhere of his own free will?
When we even mention putting
him in some institution he gets
violent and threatens to kill any
one who tries to put him sway.
He needs to be locked up for his
own protection m wall as ours.
Since you won’t take him, can
you advise kne of any place that
will take him? W. J. M.
A While we sympathize with
your difficulty, you must under
stand tha with present know
ledge of alcoholism there is no
known way of helping an alco
holic unless he sincerely wants
help and of his own free will co
operate with those trying to
help him. Coercion or forcible
restraint, while they may protect
the violent alcoholic from him
self and protect others, are not
remedies for alcoholism. Alco
holism is a very complex type of
sickness, and involves physical
\i*l, emotional and moral dif
ficulties. Tha only remedy we
know is religious faih, though
medicine, psychiatry, psychology
are often needed to help the pa
tient return to normal so that he
may exercise religious faith. We
suggest that you contact your
family physician regarding a
piece that might help your par
ticular problem.
Q. Is alcoholism a poison? My
wife and I had an argument
about this and agreed to let you
settle it. N. E. P.
A To prove I , even as all
men, sometimes use poor judg
ment, I will answer your ques
tion though it is poor policy to
get involved in an argument be
tween husband end wife Alco
hol, like ether or chloroform is a
narcotic, depressent, anesthetic
drug and haa«toxic effects.
Too Big To Answer
By JAMES C. KIHARD
A man who had risen to high
political place was being veno
mously vilfiied. Wholly unfound
ed charges were being surrep-
tiously made against his charac
ter, accusations which his dose
friends knew to be deliberately
false*
He quietly went about his du
ties and calmly Ignored the vic
ious blasts hurled at his back.
As is so often the case, his treach
erous txeducers did not have the
moral or physical courage to say
directly to him what they were
insidiously whispering to oth
ers. They preferred the rattle
snake den of street comer and
back alley tattle.
A friend who had become
concerned over his apparent in
to these vicious at
tacks asked him why he made
no effort to defend himself.
Smilingly, he answered, “Such
scurrilous stuff does not deserve
the dignity of an answer.”
He wee clearly of greeter mor
al stature than his cowardly
slanderers. By ignoring them he
hurt his enemies far more than
by recognizing their garrulous
gossip.
There are those who, when
they attain success in either pub
lic or private life, must team to
endure unruffled the Mtier
stings of unjust criticism. When
by their own efforts they rise
above the Shoulders of others
less talented and capable, they
must determine to remain undis
turbed by the knalidous muck of
petty jealously.
We honor the man who, con
fident in his own integrity, can
walk his way serenely unafraid.

Y OU certainly can throw out your chest and
call this strapping big Buick yours.
Because—as any comparison shows—the dollar
difference between this brawny beauty and the
well-known smaller cars is now virtually erased.
So if you’ve been holding back, thinking a Buick
was out of reach—/rf yourself go. You can afford
a Buick if you can afford any new car—and the
price we show here proves it.
Brick Srins Art Si*inf In N«w Best-Setter Highs
That’s a major reason for the phenomenal success
of Buick todsy. So much so, that production and
sales are hitting new peaks to move Buick more
firmly into the tight circle of America\best sellers.
And a companion reason for this soaring popularity
is Buick’s full line of cars to give you a choice
in any price class —the bedrock-priced SPECIAL, ,
the high-powered CENTURY, the extra-roomy
Super, and the custom-built Roadmaster.
•
But pure and simple, it’s all the automobile you
get for your money that’s winning so many new
owners to Buick.
It’s the extra pride you feel, the extra room you
enjoy, the extra comfort you get, the extra safety
you sense—from Buick styling, Buick size, Buick
ride-engineering, Buick solidity of structure.

It’s the extra lift and snap and ginger you get

the fun and thrill of bossing such eager might.
As we said—if you can afford any new car, you
can afford a Buick—even with the spectacular

modest extra cost.
So why settle for anything less than a Buick?

217 E. MAIN ST. LAURENS, S. C.
Ever since we’ve had a contract with the
Union, the true intent and meaning of every
provision of every agreement between the
Company and the Union has been subject to
arbitration.
Before the Strike Started
Before the strike started. Southern Bell
proposed that any disciplinary action result
ing from violations of the no-strike clause de
manded by the Company would be subject to
arbitration.
Before the strike started. Southern Bell
proposed that all suspensions of employees,
regardless of the cause, would be subject to
arbitration.
In spite of what Union leaders have said,
the truth is that before the strike started.
Southern Bell proposed full and complete arbi
tration on every type of discipline that could
be imposed under the new contract.
In fact, not only all discipline but practi
cally every other item in the new contract pro
posed by the Company before the strike start
ed was made subject to arbitration. The only
items on which no arbitration is available
under the Company proposal are the pension
plan, leaves of absence, Company compliance
with health, safety and fire protection laws
and demotions and discharges during trial
periods — matters which the Union and the
Company have agreed over the yean in col
lective bargaining should not be left to the
final decision of an arbitrator. This is all a
responsible Union should want.
But This Union Wonts Still More
They are going so far as to demand that
an arbitrator be called in now to decide what
the terms of the new contract shall be. He
would, in effect, write a whole new contract
and his decision would be final. There his re
sponsibility ends.
Southern Bell’s management is charged
with the sole responsibility for providing com
munications services in the area the Company
serves. It cannot surrender that responsibility
to others. Our obligation under the law cannot
be delegated. We must retain the right to
make the final decisions essential to the sound
and effective management of this public ser
vice.
The issue in this strike is simple and
dear — will Union leaders live op to a
contract once it is signed?
Southern Bell guarantees good wages,
good working conditions and other con
tract benefits. In return it asks only that
Union leaders agree not to disrupt service
to tho public by strikes while the contract
is in force.
This they refuse to do on any rrononahte
basis. They still demand the right to call
workers off the job whenever it salts
their purposes, while tho contract is in
effect. They want tho contract to ho bind
ing on the Company hat not on them.
