Reputation is what you are sup-
losed to be; character is what you
ire.
If you want a position, you "need
a reputation; If you want to keep
it, you need character.
Reputation is the basis of the
temporal judgment of men; char
acter is the basis of the eternal
judgment of God.
People usually pay for what
they want and the assumption is
that you don’t want the Butler
Herald unless you pay for it.
A gathering of of eldermen were
thinking of old times and the
question of life’s greatest disap
pointments was up for discussion.
One old man, after divesting him
self of a large quid of tobacco said
“Boys, the greatest disappointment
of my life was when I was a little
boy and slipped under a large tent
to see a circus, and when I got in
side, to my dismay found it was a
revival meeting.
We know the parents of
youngsters who were involved in
the petty thefts in Janesville last
week have suffered emparrassment
prestige, and all else which en
twines juvenile actions such as
this.
We wish to point out the value
of catching the youngsters, as a
goodthing, even if the parents have
suffered some embarrassment.
Children are bound to make
mistakes. It is part of growing up
and a part of learning what is
wrong and what’s right.
Perhaps if the children weren’t
caught and the parents informed of
this little escapade, they may have
been led into crimes of a greater
extent.
We feel sorry for the children
too, not because they were caught
because we know the consequences
of doing something wrong such as
they did.
ALCOHOLISM
By Vernelle Fox, M. D.
What is alcoholism, anyway?
Fifteen or twenty years ago it was
an almost new word — considered
by most as a fancy term for drunk
en bums. It was certainly a polite
word. It was usually either whis
pered or said with the kind of
sneer reserved for dirty words. It
was surely not considered a medi
cal term for an illness. Drunks
were drunks and they would al
ways be — they didn’t WANT to
change.
Everybody knew that if a REAL
man wanted to, he could use his
self-control or will-power and just
“handle his likker like a man.’’
“If a man loved his family enough
he wouldn’t drink.’’ “If he would
just go to church and pray he’d be
all right.” “If he had any respect
for his friends and wanted his job
he wouldn’t drink.” Yet, we all
knew drunks who were A MAN,
LEGAL VI)V.

Have you thought how important
imagination is? These lines clipped
from a Western newspaper give a
good insight into (he matter:
"Imagination is a wonderful thing.
If a man thinks the world is full
of good things, good people and
countless blessings, he is far richer
than the neighbor who thinks the
world contains none of them. By
his imagination man largely peo
ples this old world to his liking
Some people, looking on the bright
side, see a world in which are
living princes of royal blood while
others see a land filled with pau-
pens and privations. It all depends
on the point of view. The choice is
ours.”
Soviet to Talk to Ike
President Eisenhower and Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev will
meet in their first conference Sep.
15 at the White House, five hours
after the Soviet leaders arrives for
his 13 day visit.
The White House disclosed this
Friday in making public furthen
details of the Premier’s itinerary.
The details cover the first two
days which will be spent in the
Washington area.
The program, still labeled tenta
tive includes a dinner at the White
House the night of Sept. 15 which
the Eisenhowers will give Nikita
and his wife. The next morning he
Soviet leader is to go to the gov-
ennment’s agricultural experiment
station at suburban Baltimore.
Smithsonian, the name of fam
ous Jim Smith’s, town in Ogle
thorpe county was the subject of
an essay by James Paul of Lexing
ton, which won the prize in a re
cent youth’s contest. In his life
“Old Man Jim”, as he was gen
erally known, was a wealthy
bachelor. He was about 80 years
old when he died. It is told on him
that when a young man just
starting out, he asked a neighbor
farmer for the hand of his daugh
ter. The father refused saying he
had nothing and had little pros
pects of having anything. Young
Smith was outraged and not in
kindnest nor political way said to
the father, “All right, sir, hut some
of these days my cow pasture will
he larger than your entire planta
tion."
The youngsters were released to ' !° v , ed ^ eir families, went to church
the custody of their parents and we i., . , . , y P r£ *yed, , respected
arp sure the narents took iust ac- e r , ne3 s 341 J 0 ^ and still they
got drunk — everytime they took
a drink, in fact. They just couldn’t
handle the stuff and wouldn’t leave
it alone.
This meant the man was either
weak or just no good. Didn’t we all
know that a drunk would never
change? Yet there was a small,
but increasing number of sober
people who said that they were al
coholics. Little by little magazines,
newspapers, and radio programs
began to tell the story of sick, des-
parate people who were addicted to
alcohol who had recovered and re
turned to being sober useful citi
zens.
It made you stop and think,
didn’t it? It made it less easy to
just dismiss the subject by saying
they were no good. These people
with whom we lived and worked
and frequently loved were not “no
good.” They were our friends and
family and neighbors. The old hu
man reaction of if you don’t com
prehend it, condemn it, no longer
worked.
Gradually we began to accept the
fact that alcoholism is an illness.
That somehow the alcoholic is ill
and that recovery is possible.That’s
about as far as we’ve come. There’s
still a great deal of confusion as
to just what this illuess is. What
goes into making for addiction to
alcohol? Certainly it takes alcohol.
By definition alone you can’t be
addicted to a specific chemical
without the chemical. Perhaps,
that’s all there is to it — perhaps.
Several glaring facts say that it
isn’t. (1) We outlawed alcohol and
and it didn’t change the situation
with individuals already addicted
to alcohol. They developed nu
merous ingenious methods of ob
taining alcohol and continued the
same drinking pattern. (2) Only
about l c /c of the individuals who
drink become addicted to alcohol.
The others, some with heavy ex
posure, never become addicted. 3.
In other cultures where alcohol was
or is unknown, a small percent of
individuals become addicted to
other chemicals the action of which
are similar to alcohol. When you
look at the total picture it’s obvi
ous that there is more invovlved
than alcohol and will power Dis
cussions of the moral problems in
volved are the source of the con
fusion about the illness. In this
area many people have difficulty
keeping straight in their minds
whether they are thinking of the
problems of alcohol and drinking
or of the illness alcoholism. Our so
ciety has some very serious prob
lems about drinking. One needs
only to glance at the paper to see
it — drunk driving — teenage
drinking and the rest. These are
serious problems but usually
quite different, in development and
in means of control, from the
problems of addiction to alcohol.
Possibly there is a a biochemical
factor that makes the alcoholic
different. If so, does it precede the
exposure to alcohol or only follow
it? If such a biochemical factor ex
ists, it is yet to be isolated. To date
theindividual who has alcoholism
checksout exactly like all other in
dividuals in the scientific lab.
There are two major factors that
are sure the parents took just ac
tion!
One of the parents has already
given his child who was involved,
the monev to make good their debt
to the citizens at the Argus.
We would like to tell you read
ers that this youngster took it on
the chin. He came in, told
us his name and that he was sor
ry and gave us his share of the
money. We know this kind of pun
ishment is probably the worst he
could have received and we con
gratulate him and his parents for
the manner in which he was pun
ished.
It’s a tough thing to do for a
young lad like that, and we felt
sorry for him, because we, like
most everyone else, has had some
sort of experience like this!
The only difference was that the
editor had to wash the soap off
windows!

"Every morning when you get up
you should laugh heartily for sev
eral minutes,” advises a psycholo
gist. If we had that much acting
ability, we’d go in the movies and
achieve fame and fortune.
Altho they aren’t being adver
tised as traveling the smoke far
ther, as being equipped with a
thinking man’s filter, as being
minted on mentholated or as being
markedly mild, cigars are being
bought in increasing quantities.
Maybe Khrushchev isn’t an
atheist, after all. His resentment
against the United States for ob
serving a week of prayer for the
enslaved peoples of Russia’s satel
lite countries would seem to indi
cate that he believes in the effica
cy of prayer.
A man is suing fon divorce be
cause his wife has the habit of
eating an apple in bed when she
retires. He should be given a di
vorce, not required to pay alimony
and awarded a medal for refrain
ing from tying a knot in her neck.
Some Important Facts
In his “Top '0 the Morn” column
in the Columbus Enquirer, W. C.
Tucker gives these important
facts:
You don’t have to agree with a
person to listen to him speak. Too
many people made the mistake of
indulging in this kind of thinking.
The one who closes his ear to
opinions with which he is not like
ly to agree is narrow in his think
ing.
Some of the members of Con
gress are reported to favor an ap
pearance of Khurschev before Con
gress in order that he might see
democracy in action.
There are many things the
American people could show
Khruschev, if they could get out
of their minds that receiving him
with dignity does not mean even
an indirect endorsement of things
Communistic.

HINCTON
IF THF COUNTRY of Laos
falls to Communism, American
foreign aid will have been a sig
nificant contributing factor.
The whole
ugly story,
which the Fed
eral Govern
ment has tried
to cover up un
der the label of
military secre
cy, is contained
in the Seventh
Report of the House Committee
on Government Operations re
leased last June 15 and has been
substantiated and amplified by on-
the-spot accounts by respected
correspondents for the Wall
Street Journal and the Associated
Press. It can be succinctly sum
marized as a bald attempt to buy
that country as an ally with an
outpouring of American dollars
which have lined the pockets of a
few hundred favored government
officials and merchants, corrupted
American personnel administer
ing the program and left un
touched and embittered the re
mainder of the nation’s backward
and impoverished two million in
habitants.
• • •
LAOS HAS A generally non
monetary economy with a per
capita gross national product of
only $50 and an annual national
income of barely $13.5 million.
The average Laotian lives in a
flimsy shack built on stilts, grows
rice and raises a few chickens and
trades by barter. Into that type
of at. economy the United States
has pumped or committed $225
million since Laos obtained its
independence in 1955 and has
thus, to quote the House Report,
been virtually supporting the
entire econolny.”
American aid to Laos has been
spent primarily in three ways:
(1) to support an ineffective 25,-
000-man army against the advice
of military experts for a force of
less than half that size and into
which we have sanctioned the in
tegration of Communists; (2) to
make dollars available to Laotian
merchants at one-third the going
world exchange rate in an abor
tive attempt to stimulate trade
and (3) to undertake grandiose
public works projects which the
simple society of Laos does not
need and cannot support.
As a result mountains of mili
tary equipment unsuited to a trop
ical climate and too complex for
the Laotian soldier to operate lie,
according to the Associated Press,
“abandoned and rusting on the
roadsides.” Merchants have made
fantastically-profitable kickback
arrangements with exporters in
Thailand, Hong Kong and even
Communist China for the pur
chase of such things as 4.5 tons of
feather dusters which the Lao
tians would not buy even if they
had the money. Evidence of wide
spread collusion between Ameri
can aid officials and American con
tractors has been uncovered.
• • •
WHEN CONFRONTED with
these facts, the State Department
and the International Cooperation
Administration argued that the
expenditures, while perhaps un
wise, have contained Communism.
Now that events are giving the
lie to that contention, they are
calling for a massive new pro
gram of the same kind.
It is not difficult to understand
why the average Laotian has no
stomach for fighting to protect
the riches and big automobiles of
the favored few. The American
Government could not have con
tributed more effectively toward
driving that country to Commu
nism if it had handed its foreign
aid dollars directly to Communist
China.
