Alcoholics Are
Not Superior
The popular belief that alco
holics have superior intelligence
is not supported by facts, accord
ing to a six year study of the
mental ability of alcoholics at
Fairview Center, Ridgeway, S. C.,
Rev. Maxie C. Collins, Director,
said today.
A total of 536 white male alco
holics were included in the study.
Tests given included Army Beta,
Otis Gamma, Wechsler-Bellevue.
Results by groups were: Mental
defectives, 18; below average, TO
SS, 228; average, 89-109, 251;
above average and superior. 39.
The average for the group was 89,
barely within the average range.
In the course of the study,
check ups on patients was at
tempted. Whi-e it was impossible
to locate some of the patients,
enough were located and checked
to reveal the following:
(1) Not one of the mental de
fectives remained sober.
(2) Not one of those with se
vere brain damage remained so
ber, regardless of the mental ab
ility score.
(3) Alcoholics with below av
erage intelligence tended to re
turn to drinking far more fre
quently than alcoholics with av
erage or better than average in
telligence.
(4) Alcoholics, intellectually,
are just average people, being
neither smarter nor dumber than
non alcoholics.
(5) The ability of the alcoholic
or excessive drinker to think is
definitely impaired by alcohol. The
minute he stops drinking he be
gins to feel worse, but to get bet
ter. His ability to think slov4y

From J. B. Chandler, So. Boston,
Virginia: I remember back in the
early Eighties before wire was
manufactured for use in fences.
My father, we boys and the hired
hands on our farm ten miles west
of the new Kerr Lake in Mucklen-
burg County, Va., cut large trees,
split the ten-foot lengths into rails
and built rick-rack fences five
feet high around large portions of
the farm.
In these enclosures we kept cat
tle, sheep, swine and geese. Sec
ond to the production usefulness
of the cows were the sheep, often
used extensively as lamb and
mutton roasts. Also, every May
a large number were herded into
pens and sheared. We washed the
wool and when it was dry, re
moved the trash burrs. Much of
this wool we carded into 12-in.
rolls about finger size. These rolls
were then spun into thread on a
spinning wheel (which I still
own). We then dried it in the de
sired colors and my mother and
sister would knit socks for the men
and knee-length stockings for the
women and children.
They also wove beautiful bed
blankets and cloth from which
were made petticoats for the
ladies. Of course this could not
be done without a warp made
the same way as wool thread, but
for strength and durability was
made of cotton grown on the farm.
The seeds were picked out by hand
and on cotton picking nights each
member of the family was alloted
a certain amount to pick before
retiring. -
The’ cotton thread had to be
dyed before use. The dye was
made by boiling the hanks oi
thread in a solution obtained by
boiling the inner bark taken from
sweet gum trees—which produced

THOUGHTS
Only a lonely marker in a field
near the Columbia suburb of
Cayce tells where the bustling
frontier town of Granby was es
tablished in 1735, fully 50 years
prior to Columbia’s founding. Not
long after Washington’s visit, the
government building was sold and
moved to Columbia where it
survived until recent years.
In historic, old South Carolina,
the United States Brewers Foun
dation works constantly to en
courage maintenance of whole
some conditions wherever beer
and ale are sold. As in other states,
the program calls for close cooper
ation between law-enforcement of
ficials and beer licensees through
out South Carolina.
Beer belongs ... enjoy it.

FATHER S DAY
It is to be hoped that the world
having learned to observe Mother’s
Day, will eventually learn to ob
serve Fathers Day the third Sun
day in June. Eventually is used
because our people seem slow in
taking up a belated observance.
Honoring Mother is a blessed
thing, but it seemed strange to the
son of a wonderful father that
for so long no recognition was
given to Father. A writer went in
to a certain home one night and
he saw on one wall of the parlor
the words, “God bless our home.’’
And on the nearer wall he saw,
“What is Hom& Without a Moth
er?" These were all right, he
wrote, “but what is home without
a father?” In nine times out of
ten, the writer asserted, the horge
was a boarding house. On the
whole. Dad might have his faults,
he might have lots of them, but,
wrote the writer, he was all right,
and loved just the same.

improves over a period which may
last as long as two years,. when
his mental ability tends to level
off. One drink during the two
year period will cause a return to
drinking and undo all the mental
improvement made during sobri
