OKABENA, MINN., PRESS;
"Here are some thoughts on
foods prices by Secretary of
Agriculture Earl Butz; "It’s
not the farmer who sets the
price of beef....with a perish
able commodity like food,
where you either have to sell
t or you smell it, you have
got to move it through the
retail counters. The price
is set in the retail counter
and you can’t get much more
on the short run, when the
demand explodes like it has.
It still takes 24 months to
get a two-year-old steer. And
I don’t know any way to shorten
that process.”

Is one church as good as
another ? A church set up
and directed without regard
to the pattern set forth in
the Bible, is not as good as
one that follows the Divine
plan. A church that teaches
error Is not good as one
that teaches truth. A ch
urch whose doctrines give
glory to man Is not as good
as one that gives all the
glory to God. A church that
takes for doctrine the com
mandments of men, is not as
good as one whose sole au
thority Is the Pure Word of
God.
John Ruskin, English au
thor, art critic, and reform
er, said; “ men say their
pinnacles point to heaven.,
Why, so does every tree that
buds, and every bird that ris
es as it sings. Men say their
aisles are good for worship.
Why, so Is every mountain
glen, and rough seashore.
But this they have, of distin

COMBINED PUBLIC
SERVICE FEATURES
TEEN-AGE DRUGS
Has your once alert,
friendly, studious teen-ager
developed a Jekyll and Hyde
personality?
Is he or she cheerful one
day and depressed the next?
Have you noticed an abnor
mal inclination to drowsiness
and irritability, an inability to
concentrate and a tendency
to tell little white lies?
If your child displays any
of these characteristics, you
may have cause to worry, for
he may be on the road to
narcotics addiction if, in
deed, he is not already
“hooked.”
Because of widespread
parental concern about drugs,
the safety research depart
ment of the Combined In
surance Company of America
consulted experts on nar
cotics to produce a set of
symptons to look for in de
tecting addiction.
“Actually, the sings of
addiction are easy to spot, if
one is really looking for
them,” observed W. Clement
Stone, chairman and chief
executive officer of Com
bined, who has been associ
ated with juvenile narcotics
work for more than a decade.
Stone is an adviser to Teen
Challenge, a nationwide
organization that works with
juvenile narcotics addicts. It
is headed by the Rev. David
Wilkerson, the evangelist.
Generally speaking, Stone
said, Teen Challenge has
found that heroin addicts dis
play some or all of these
symptoms.
Needle marks on arms or
legs, watery eyes, furtive
glances, chronic drowsiness,
marked restlessness, upset
stomach, ulcerous sores,
strong body odor, habitual
scratching or nose-rubbing,
frequent dizziness, mental
and physical deterioration,
spells of preoccupation or
talkativeness, depression and
despondency and a per
secution complex.
Government narcotics
experts in the Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare and the National In
stitute of Mental Health de
scribed some obvious symp
toms of the use of ampheti
mines, or speed. There is a
tendency to talk loud and
fast and pace the floor. Loss
of appetite, irritability and
instability also are the marks
of the “speedfreak,” along
with lethargy, fatigue, muscle
pains, ravenous hunger and
depression that can lead to
suicide.
