Victim OF Narcotics

The death of a youht over the
weekend resulting from the use
of narcotics has aroused many
parents. The narcotic habit has
sent many a young person down
the road to quick oblivion. In
this unfortunate case, oblivion was
death.
1t must be understood that the
habit is INDUCED in by only a
minority of people, and all races
and nationalities are addicted to
it. But the minority of persons
is a large enough one to cause
concern to the public. For the
narcotic habit is dangerous, not
only to the addict, but to the
society.
A narcotic is a substance that
acts as a ~depressant upon the
nervous system, the brain, spinal
cord and nerves. Activity of the
organs is decreased or made less
effective by the narcotics. Large
doses bring on lethargy or stupor
which may continue into uncon-
seriousness with complete paraly-
sis and in extreme cases, death.
The main narcotics peddled are
opium, dried juice of a certain
kind of opium poppy; morphine
and codeine, both of which are
extracted from opium; heroin man
ufactured from morphine; cocaine

Construction Of New
Gaithersburg School
Urged By Lions Club

A resolution by the Gathers
burg Lions Club urging the con-
struction of a new school in Gath
ersburg, was passed at the Clubs
regular meeting held on April IL.
The resolution, to be presented
to the Board of Education, Super
intendent of Schools and the presi-
dent of the County Council, stated
in part that the Gaithersburg
High School building, being some
forty-five years old is unsafe and
inadequate and unsanitary for the
proper education care and protec-
ton of the children attending
therein. 1t stated further that the
school may lose it's standing as an
accredited High School as a result
of inadequate equipment and the
excessive number of pupils each
teacher must instruct.
The Lions Club, whose member
ship is composed almost entirely of
parents of pupils attending the
school, urged the Board of Educa-
ton to proceed at once with plans
for construction of a new school
on the site already owned by the
Board. 1t resolved that funds for
such building operation be set
aside from thesfirst funds available
for construction purposes.
Kenneth H. Barncord is presi-
dent of this club; e. Russell Gloyd,
secretary.
