ON DRUGS
The depressant drugs are substances
which when introduces into the body cause
a "slowing down" of the mental function.
Examples are the narcotic pain relievers,
the sedatives or sleeping pills, and alco
hol.
Alcohol is the active ingredient in whis
key, wine, beer, moonshine, etc. In other
words it is what makes one drunk. It has
been said that a few drinks of alcohol can
in a few minutes erase 10,000 years of in
hibitions. People, while under the effect
of alcohol are capable of doing things they
would never do while sober and very few
of these acts are of a worthwhile nature.
No less than 70% of all fatal automobile
accidents are caused by the ingestion of
alcohol. In spite of all the preponderance
of evidence concerning the evils of alcohol
it still remains the number one escape
mechanism of the American people. This
is true because alcohol is readily available
and the use of alcohol has been accepted by
the people as a social pastime. Many pe
ople start out as social drinkers and event
ually become psychologically and physical
ly dependent upon the effects of alcohol.
In other words they become addicted to al
cohol and feel they can not live without it
Alcoholism is addiction to alcohol. The
alcoholic who is "dryed out" or not ingest
ing alcohol at the time is just that--an al
coholic who is not ingesting alcohol at the
time and should be recognized and treated
as such.
When a person has consumed enough al
cohol to "pass out" that person is almost
dead. The amount of alcohol required to
pass out is approximately 90% of the fatal
dose or the amount required to cause death.
Many times taking one or two drinks just
before "passing out" results in death.
The federal tax on alcohol is $21.00 per
proof gallon. This makes moonshine pro
fitable and increases the risks to the alco
holic due to lead salts, zinc, and other
substances that may cause blindness, liver
disease, etc. Yet people still drink
Have no fear, life is much like crossing
the street. One may jump out of the way
of a car and get hit by a bus. The alcohol
ics have one consolation. If they don't dr
ink themselves to death they will die of
something else.

BRANTLEY HERONS
CRUSH CLINCH
BY GENE WILEY
The Herons wasted little
time in stopping the Panthers
of Clinch County and roaring
to a 46-6 victory to remain
undefeated. The first half
was a runaway as the Herons
racked up 40 points and then
coasted with the second units
in most of the remainder of
the game. Robert Thomas
and Ricky Carrecker scored
two touchdowns each to lead
the offense and the defense
refused to allow the Panthers
to cross the mid-field marker
in the first half. This victory
gives the Herons a 4-0 Region
record and leaves only one
region contest to be played.
The Herons last region contest
1 comes this Friday night against
Charlton County in Folkston
and they are also undefeated
in region play.
The Herons first got on the
scoreboard with 6:52 remain
ing in the first quarter on a one
yard plunge by Robert Thom as.
The PAT was no good and the
Herons took the lead 6-0.
With 4:18 remaining in the
first quarter Paul Langford pass
ed to Ricky Carrecker and the
play was good for 38 yards and
a touchdown. The PAT was
run by Larry Lane to boost the
score to 14-0. The second
quarter started off slow but the
Herons exploded for 26 points.
Larry Lane scampered for a 32
yard touchdown run with 9:47
remaining in the second quart
er. Then Robert Thomas pl
owed across for a touchdown
withß:l3 remaining and Ray
ford Blue ran the Pat to in
crease the score to 28-0. Af
ter kicking off to the Panthers
Davy Able decided they sh
ouldn’t have the ball so he
snared a pass and ran 34 yards
for a touchdown. As the se
cond quarter was about to end
the second unit offense took
the ball and quickly moved to
the Panther 3 yard line where
Kenny Johnson carried the ball
in to round out the scoring for
the first half and the score st
ood at 40-0.

Marines never die, or even fade away; instead, they go fishing. Andwhenyou're 83 years young, thats a good way to pass the
time of day,
Captain Uley O. Stokes, 003404, USMC (Retired) visited Glynco on Wednesday, October 6, for a chat with fellow Marines,
and while on board, pinned First Lieutenant bars on newly promoted Douglas D. Tyler.
Captain Stokes enlisted in the Marines in 1908 and since there was no established Boot Camp in those days, went through two
weeks of improvised training at Pensacola, Florida. Afterwards he was transferred to Norfolk and then to Parris Island when
the Marine Corps started Recruit Training. Then a Gunnery Sergeant, Captain Stokes became a drill instructor training young
recruits. In 1918, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and shipped out to France. After 20 years of service Captain
Stokes retired in 1927.
Although many years have passed, Captain Stokes expressed belief that the Marine Corps hasn't changed to any large degree.
"Today's Marine is better educated, but the basis of what a Marine stands for and the traditions still prevail, winning with
professionalism One thing remains the same, when you tell a Marine to do something, you don't have to check oh him; you
know the job will get done, A Marine just likes to be a little better than his service counterpart,"
When World War II broke out, Captain Stokes wrote to Washington offering to re-enter the Corps, but was refused becauseof
his age. Now 83, he would still offer his services.
"No regrets," is the way Captain Stokes describes his years in the Marines. "Pm devoted to the Corps and while I don't
follow their exploits as much as I once did, I know they are doing their job."
Asked about retirement benefits, Captain Stokes expressed gratitude and praise for the exceptionally fine medical service he
has received over the years from the dispensary here at Glynco. He also mentioned money saved, by utilizing the Navy Ex
change and Commissary.
A native of Georgia, Captain and Mrs. Stokes divide their time between their farm near Nahunta and their fishing campon
the Satilla River.
Asked if he had to do it all over again, Captain Stokes stated his life has been very satisfying both in and out of the Corps
and he wouldn't change a thing.
Forth-fouryears retired, prove Marines don't forget and would lead one to believe the Marines don't promise a rose gaiden,
but if you stick with it you may find one.
