" She Married Her Boss ”
Finest She Has Made Since “It Happened One Night"
Students Voice Views On Whiskey
Question at P.T.A. Meeting
The viewpoint of forty-three col
lege freshman at Georgia State Col
lege for Women on why there is
immoderate drinking among the
high school boys and girls of Geor
gia. and what can be done about
it by their parents, was presented
to the Peabody Prcatice School P.
T. A. by Miss Louise Smith, of the
college health department.
‘ Because it’s the smart thing to
do", "because they call you a poor
sport or a sissy if you don’t”, “be
cause it gives n shy boy or gin
self-confidence", "because it makes
you think you can dance as well ns
anybody though you are a poor
dancer", “because it relaxes you
when you are tired." were among
the answers given by the fresh
men to Miss Smith’s questioning
preparatory to her talk.
"Provide a real home instead of
an apartment”
"We want our parents to love
rach other, and not keep us tom
between siding with one or the
ether."
"We want them to remember
when they were young.”
“We want their sympathy instead
cf scolding when we tell them our
problems."
"We want them to talk to us as
they would to a friend.”
These were some of the reecom-
mendatiocu made by the y^ung wo
men to parents desiring to shoulder
their responsibility for lessening the
eviL
Asked if it would be desirable to
try to remove temptation, the girls
chorused, “No! it would be Impos
sible.”
Education in the harmful effects
of alcoholism can have very little
effect, they thought, for, they point
ed out “Doctors are among the
heaviest drinkers, and they ought to
Other reasons given for the alarm
ing situation were the example of
drinking parents, the thrill of law
breaking, the necessity of bolster
ing up nerve to cotnmitt a crime,
the custom of celebrating holidays
with a great deal of alcoholic stimu
lation. the example of aodety lead
ers. the desire for revenge in love
affairs, the cust'm of warming up
for a fishing or hunting trip, effec
tiveness as an appetizer before a
meal, the sheer liking for the taste
of stimulants.
Other remedies suggested were
wholesome activities, recreational
advantages and facilities, encourage
ment of sports, the teaching of right
from wrong from infancy, a trust
ful parental attitude, stronger home
tics, a stronger religious environ-
"Parents can't take a cocktail, and
demand abstinence on the part of
their children with any assurance
of obedience.” one girl remarked.
"The knowledge that my parents
trusted me has kept me from doing
the wrong thing more than any
thing else”, another said, and many
others agreed with her.
The talk made a profound im
pression on the parents present at
the meeting, and occasioned a great
deal of discussion afterwards. Presi
dent Guy Wells, Mrs. Wells, many
of the college educate** and
around fifty parents were present.
Dr. Edwin Allen of Allen’s Ir
valid Home discussed the Fears of
Childhood interestingly, giving ex
amples of both helpful and harmful
kinds. He emphosized the fact that
fear may be a wholesome thing in
some situations, and nothing to be
ashamed of. Extreme fear and pro
longed states of ar prehension a
be avoided however, because of the
