Newspaper Page Text— Griffin Daily News Saturday, February 5,1977 Page 12 Reprinted from The GBI on Crime Prevention There's been a lot of information disseminated about drugs and drug abuse in the last ten years - most of it factual, some of it misleading. During that time drugs have spread from the ghettos and back alleys of the inner city to suburban schools and commu nities, from junkies mainlining "H" to housewives popping diet pills and tranquilizers, from the opium dens of the Far East to the "fashionable" party circuit. You may not hear as much about it, but drug abuse is still a problem. As agencies who deal with its social aspects search for answers, they are looking more closely at the very struc tures of our society. The attitude expressed by the Special Office for Drug Abuse Prevention in Washington, D C. (Questions and Answers About Drug Abuse) strikes a chord being echoed more and more: "Caring about people, and ex pressing that care, is the most To help your child avoid drugs COMMUNICATE - be interested and involved in their activities. Talk frankly and LISTEN when they talk. LEARN -- what they are doing. Know their friends, their problems. Help them find solutions. ♦ ** TEACH - that stress of daily life can be handled without drugs. **♦ i I JR.34”! 03381 WOLVERINE' 8" DURABLES BOOT • Redwood mustang cowhide leather • Water and acid resistant • Leather lined for comfort • Non slip, oil proof sole and heel Jim Pridgen g ■ Hardware ■ sth street 111 — One hour 1 'imr THE MOST IN DRY CLEANING ,46? iNes!

The sense of belonging, of care for and from other people, which is evidently so vital to all human beings, is perhaps best conveyed through the idea of family." This sense of "family" begins, of course, in the home. However, it extends to include the interaction that occurs when people are drawn together because of common needs or interests. This can mean church or civic groups, business leaders, public officials, edu cators. In short, responsive and rep resentative individuals who recognize the problem, who care about the effects it has on their community, and who are willing to work together to find its solution. Until the need for drugs is elim inated, law enforcement efforts to combat the criminal aspects of drugs and drug abuse cannot be fully successful. SET THE EXAMPLE - by not abusing alcohol and drugs yourself. ♦ ♦♦ KEEP TRACK - of medicinal drugs in your home. Destroy left overs. Supervise your children's use of medicines. KNOW THE FACTS - about drugs. Your children may know a great deal more than you think. Scare tactics based on half-truths can cause more harm than good.
