Alcoholics Anonymous

Sometime an important event in the life of a community
takes place in a quiet. unobtrusive way. Such an event, we
feel, Is the establishment here of a chapter of Alcoholics
Anonymous, a society less than ten years old which by the
testimony of expert medical authorities has accomplished
almost unbelievable results in curing alcoholics and re-
deeming broken human wrecks for a useful life in society.
The organization is strictly n-on-commereial. Members do
not even pay dues. Their chief badge of membership is
helping one another to cast off the curse of alcoholism. It
is not a religious organization in the strict sense, but it de-
is mate in every human being, no matter how helpless his
case might seem to be in the eyes of the more fortunate
people who are not touched by the same sickness.
1t is quite true that there is such a thing as free will in
life, a choice of right and wrong, and that some people have
more strength of character than others. But in recent years
medical science has learned a vast and unsupported amount
about the disease of chronic drunkenness. For it is a disease,
and members of Alcoholics Anonymous are the first to adj
NIT it. Some natures and nervous systems simply happen
to be more 'alergic' to alcohol than others, and many heavy
drinkers are also suffering from tormenting psychological
pressures and wounds which they received earlier in life
and for which they themselves were not primarily re-
sponsible. One rigid law of "A. A" is that the drinker first
of all must recognize that alcohol for him is poison. If he
only faces this fact, then in other fields of activity and in
other aspects of life he can live just as full and useful and
enjoyable an existence as any other man or woman. "A.
A." members know that for an alcoholic type there is no
such thing as "tapering off = or drinking in moderation"
They know that for them and the people they can help,
quitting must be a 100 percent job.
Apparently they have found the method to make this
possible in a surprisingly large percentage of cases.
All members of this organization are strictly anony-
nous and all Of its work is without detailed publicity. The
work is largely preventive, and members stand ready at
any hour of the day or night to come to the assistance of a
man who feels himself about to fall into the dark abyss of
his abnormal drinking,
Anyone who feels in need of this help can now call
upon the P%ascagoula chapter, by writing to Post Office Box
237 or by telephoning l342-R.

Georgia Redeemed

The South has won an important decision
in the court of world opinion, and Democ-
racy has won an important decision in the
Georgia Supreme court. in. the ruling hand
ed down this week oustings Herman Tai
madge from the governors chair. T~almadge's
seizure of that office was a high-handed
power move smelling of Nazi tactics under
Hitler. It was as bad as the worst of the die
tatorlal acts committed by the Huey Long
gang in Louisiana. The people of Georgia had
not voted Herman Talmadge into office. As
a matter of fact, a majority of them had not
voted III his father either. BY the county unit
system, however. the father won the office.
though he was second in popular vote. When
he died, a block in the legislature. who had
favored the father, put through a dictator
ship law declaring his son governor. Herman
moved into the mansion and for nine week
strutted as governor. This week the Supreme
Court threw him out and gave the office to
the man who had been duly elected |lieuten-
ant-governor by the people of Georgia. Thus.
Georgia is saved from the shameful expert
ence of having a few high-handed politicians
dictate the appointment Of a governor for
whom the people of Georgia never voted.
And the democratic process-the ability of
courts to correct the mistakes of legislatures.
and the ability of the voters to correct the
mistakes of all, including their own has
been vindicated in a decision which lifts the
hearts Of those who think with their heads
and not with their emotions, We are Ameri-
cans and democracy is our form. Let's keep
1t that way. May imposters and d~ictators
who come mouthing the phrases of demoe-
racy but committing the acts of naziism. like
Herman Talmadge, always be brought to
book.

aggressive country OF our. And suppose
it was known and openly discussed in the
Russian press that there was quite a sizeable
public opinion and quite a few high military
people who believed that Russia ought to de-
clare a preventive war on America and give
us a terrific beating before our own scientists
who were at present working f~uriously at
a place called Oak Ridge-could get the atom
bomb also.
Suppose Russia had something called the
"Monroe-ski" doctrine which, for the last
hundred years, had pledged Russia auto
matically to go to war if any American
country attempted to establish influence over
a European country. And suppose, coincident
with Joe Stains attack upon our influence
in Mexico, and the sending of Russian war
ships to the Gulf, he had announced that
Russia was going to extend the principle of
that great Russian Monroe-ski doctrine to the
North American continent.
If this had happened, how would we feel
in America?
We would feel a hatred for Russia sur
passing all understanding. We would feel
bitterness and contempt for Russian hypo-

the United Nations and negotiated diplomacy.
We would have to sit and take it so long as
we lid not have the atom bomb. But we
would have our scientists working in three
shifts "a hours a day to discover the secret
that would once more make us the military
equal of this country that announced to the
world that it hated us.
Then Russia would either have to knock
us off in eold-blooded murder; or we at least
would get the bomb, and when we had about
20 of them packed away in the basement of
Fort Kno with the gold reserve, we would
turn to Russia and say: "All right. now
brother, let's just see about this Russian in
tervention in Mexico and the Monroe-ski
doctrine in Americas backyard"
The possibilities of this situation would be
excitement and fear ON both sides, approach
ing hysteria. 1t would be the hysteria of two
fearful men in a pitch-dark room with loaded
pistols. In such a mood, the human mentality
is beyond the capacity TO negotiate in calm
ness and reason.
This is precisely the nightmare that the
United Nations was organized to circumvent.
We believe that our present policy of strong
armed measures in the Mediterranean will
cireumvent the United Nations instead; and
that we may somedav. annie the blasted
wreckage of civilization, look back and re-
gret this course.
