Learn Of
Drug Use
Two of the five men from
Butts County who attended the
two week drug seminar in
Miami, Florida, presented
information learned to mem
bers of the Jackson Kiwanis
Club Tuesday night, March
13th. The program was
arranged by Denny O’Neal who
introduced Sgt. Fred Moore of
the Jackson Police Depart
ment, who in turn presented
Mack Davis, Van Deventer
Youth Director.
Sgt. Moore said that the
programs here will be designed
more particularly to prevent
drug use than to rehabilitate
addicts. He explained that the
seminar taught how to “reach
kids” and how to counsel with
people, being able to explain
forcefully what drugs will do.
Mr. Davis told his audience
that the hope locally is to offer
drug users an alternative
which might cause them to
cease its use. He explained that
there are five states involved in
drug usage, naming them as
1., Experimental, when the
drug is used for the first time
on a strictly “see how it feels”
basis; 2., Social and Recrea
tion Users, when drugs are
used at parties, athletic events,
etc. just to “be one of the
crowd”; 3., Seeking Users, or
the beginning of drug addiction
when a person begins to feel
dependence upon the drug and
lodes forward to its use and
effects day by day; 4.,
Disfunctional User, or when
the user is hooked to the extent
that his entire life is
disoriented through the use of
the drugs, and 5., Suicidal
User, or when a person has
become so heavily addicted
that some take death as the
“easy way out”. Davis said
that thankfully only one or two
percent fall into categories
four and five.
The speaker pointed out that
Miami has the largest percent
age of overdose users in the
world and told of actual
interviews with drug users. He
said that it is the hope of those
who attended the seminar to
set up a Drug Abuse Research
Council with the five seminar
students being used in an
advisory capacity. Another
step proposed by Davis is a
Drug Abuse Survey in Jackson
High School as well as the
establishment of a rat house.
Another tool considered in the
fight against drug abuse
locally is the formation of the
Peer Group Counsel Room plus
anew device known as the
“humanistic” approach in
school. Mr. Davis told Kiwan
ians that Jackson was one of
138 cities in the U.S. chosen for
a Federal grant with funds to
be used in the fight against
narcotics and drugs. He
explained that they have up to
six weeks to implement some
of the program he and Sgt.
Moore outlined.
Attendance awards were
also made Tuesday night by
Frank Forehand who awarded
perfect attendance tabs to Levi
Ball for one year; Edward
Manley, two years; Pat
Patterson, three years; David
Black, five years; Y. C.
Hudson, six years; Lou
Moelchert, J. W. O’Neal, Sr.,
Lee Roy O’Neal, Bob Pinck
ney, M. L. Powell, seven
years; Ralph Carr and Rogers
Starr, Sr., nine years; H. M.
Moore and P.H. Weaver, ten
years.
Guests were Gene Potter and
Key Club members Terry
Moore, Dennis Morgan and
Bobby Long.

Wesleyan
Gift Is
One Million
MACON, Ga. - The gift of $1
million to Wesleyan College -
the largest single grant in the
137 year history of the college -
was announced today by
President W. Earl Strickland.
Mrs. Anne Wins hip Bates
Leach and her husband,
Willaford Ransom Leach of
Palm Beach, Fla., gave the $1
million with the request that a
trust fund be established. The
trust fund brings the total
amount erf cash and pledges
received in Wesleyan’s current
capital funds drive to $2.2
million.
The Board of Trustees has
approved a goal in the
three-year drive of $3.5 million.
Most of this will go toward
increasing the college’s endow
ment which now stands at sll
million.
Dr. Strickland said, “Mr.
and Mrs. Leach’s generosity
toward Wesleyan College has
been established over a long
period of time. Through gifts to
the college and to students in
the form of scholarships, they
have made possible a broader
application of the liberal and
fine arts traditions.
“This latest gift is further
indication of the lasting
affection Mrs. Leach has for
Wesleyan through the devotion
she held for her aunt, the late
Mrs. Charles J. Haden of
Atlanta, who graduated with
honors from Wesleyan in 1887.”
Mrs. Haden was prominent in
civic, religious and social
affairs of Atlanta and Georgia.
Mrs. Leach has established
two scholarship funds at
Wesleyan, one of which was
given in honor of her mother,
the late Mrs. Elizabeth
Winship Bates of Atlanta.
Several years ago Mrs.
Leach financed a landscaping
program which resulted in the
beautification of the campus
and last year furnished
dogwood trees which were
planted on campus.
The Wesleyan Alumnae
Association in April of last year
made Mrs. Leach an honorary
alumna of the college, the fifth
person to be given the title
since the association was
formed in 1859.
One of the main thorough
fares on the campus is named
for Mrs. Leach and she has
been recognized by the college
in various ways through the
years.
