Does alcohol overcome
physical fatigue?
No. You may feel as if you
could chop another woodpile
after a drink, but tests prove
alcohol slows down your muscu-
lar output. It's the same with
mental output.
Is alcohol a stimuIant?
No. Alcohol is a sedative.
Strong beverages temporarily
stimulate the nerve endings in
the mouth and throat. and for
this reason drink is sometimes
given to revive persons who have
tainted. But as soon as the alco-
hol begins to be absorbed in the
bloodstream, it becomes a seda-
tive.
Does alcohol make you fat?
Yes - and no. A liquid ounce
of whisky contains l67 calories.
And too many calories may
make you fat, provided you are
getting sufficient vitamins, min
erals and proteins in your diet.
So If you eat normally - and
drink besides you will gain
weight.
But if you drink and don't eat
normally, which is often the
case with alcoholics, you won't
gain weight. You may get sick,
though. Alcoholics frequently de-
velop nutritional diseases, such
as beriberi and pellagra.

Is the craving for alcohol
inherited?
No. Environment and the
proper mental attitude are the
controlling factors.
What's the best cure for "a
hangover?
Black coffee - if you can take
it! Half teaspoon of aromatic
spirits of ammonia in about
fourth cup of water may be
equally effective. The hair of
the dog" is on the through road
to alcoholism.
Is alcohol sex,,alIy stimu-
Iating?
No, it merely lessons inhibi-
tions. lmpotency is a frequent
complaint of alcoholics.
Does alcohol cause ulcers?
No, but it makes gastric ulcers
worse.
What is the most serious
alcoholic disease?
Drunkenness.

at least up to point. Finally.
there are physiological differ
ences in reaction to alcohol from
one individual to another.
Does mixing ones drinks
- switching from rye to gin,
for instance - increase in
tOxicatiOn?
No. 1t isn't the combination
that makes you drunk - it's the
quantity.
How much can you drink
and still drive safely?
The time element counts. If
you take one highball, you
should wait about one hour be-
fore you drive. II you take two
highballs, wait two hours, and
for each additional drink, add
two hours. After a half pint of
whisky. you'd have to wait six
hours to be safe. so you'd better
let somebody else drive!

In bygone days, the treatment of alcoholism
was based on sense of disgust. Pliny writes
that Roman wives of drunkards put screech
owl eggs mullets and even reaches into their
husbands drinks Today one of the three main
types of treatment is the "conditioned-re

ancient disgust method

treatment ends when the sight of bottle or
the mere odor of liquor induces immediate
nausea. The drug treatment requires five to

A relapse may be expected if, in addition,
he is not rehabilitated socially and psyche

Local Concern Issues Letter
To Customers On
Price Policy
ONE OF FIRST IN STATE

A large Delaware manufacture
ing firm has taken a step to
achieve President Truman's goal of
lower consumer prices, it was
learnel last week. The Wilson
Cabinet Company of Smyrna, man.
ufacturer of home, farm, and COM
mercial freezer storage equipment,
has notified its customers it is cut
ting prices, despite the fact that
raw materials costs have not yet
been reduced and in some cases
still increase. John E. Wilson, Jr.,
president of the firm, in a letter to
representatives of the refrigeration
industry and in which he said he
agreed with the public that con-
sumner prices are too high fright
down the line from pork chops to
automobiles" asserted that. eve
have reduced prices. We will oper-
ate on a smaller profit margin and
strive for greater manufacturing
efficiency to justify our reductions.
We hope that similar action will be
taken by other manufacturers and
businesses, as we feel this is the
only way to restore public conf
dence in the ability of American
business to produce and sell to the
consumer good products at fair
prices" Economists pointed out
when the Newburyport Plan was
started that retail prices could not
be brought down and held down
unless wholesale and manufactur-
ers prices were also reduced pro-
portionately. Critics of the New
buryport Plan maintained than on
ly through price reductions from
the source could the goal of lower

consumer prices asked for by Pres
1dent Truman be reached. In his
letter citing the rise in cost of raw
materials used by the Wilson Cab
met Company, Mr.. Wilson said
that one part used on milk coolers
made by the firm had increased in
price more than so per cent in Is
months. 81 cannot believe that our
economy can stand price increases
of this kind, and I am sure the
consumer will not stand them
long," he warned. His letter ex-
planning the Wilson company's
action was sent to the Refrigera-
tion Equipment Manufacturers AS
sociation and to the American So
ciety of Refrigeration Engineers.
In it he disclosed that the firm has
reduced prices of its farm milk
coolers from $3.50 to S32 to the
consumer. Price reductions to
consumers on what Mr.. Wilson
termed -four of our most popular
farm freezer models" range from
S26.75 to $5S. IT personally view
this price situation as challenge
to us as a manufacturer of refrig-
GRAFTON equipment, to the refriger-
alton industry as a whole, as well
as to all businesses" Mr.. Wilson
wrote.

HOMER H. STEVENS

the wood assembly department at

was located on the second floor of
Plant No. 1, but as soon as Plant
No. 2 was competed, the depart
ment was moved to new and spac-
ious quarters there.

the 80 men under his direction as
he was with the original group of
5 men.
