Drug Addicts Are Off
The Kick

1t is a fairly we'll known fact
that a small minority of people are
giving this community a bad name
by virtue of their indulgence in
the use Of dope. Worse, perhaps,
than that they are exposing them
selves to serious physical impair
ment without accomplishing their
purpose in using narcotics.
Most of those who use drugs do
so with the erroneous conception
that they are "on the KICK" i.e.,
that they are living a "fast" life,
that they are ultra modern"
Well, they are just as wrong as
they can be. About the best that
can be said for them is that they
are living a "two-bit" life, to
speak in understandable terms.
They are not being smart, they
are being very misguided for sew
eral reasons. First, because the
use of habit forming drugs eX-
cept for medical reasons is illegal.
Those caught-and most users are
eventually apprehended-are sent
enced to prison or institutions.
Though the drugs give the user
a temporary Gift" the long range
effect is to wear the body down.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-03-11

Body resistance decreases, muscu-
lar tone becomes dull and mental
activity becomes sluggish and dull.
Instead of impressing others
with the fact that they are lead
ing a fast existence, the users
evoke sympathy at their stupidity
and at the sorry spectacle they
make of themselves.
Finally, the useless existence
they are finally plunged into
makes them a burden to society.
Now, this writer is a long way
from being a prude, but he real

for there are only a few cliques

off the "kick'' and get on the road

benefit.

Pay Rise Action Slated
In Senate Tomorrow:
Single Bill Reported
By Harold B, Rooers

The pay raise bill for District
government workers, the President
Vice President, Speaker of the
House and many other top flight
executives is slated for Senate action
tomorrow.
Approved yesterday by a 10-to-1
vote Of the Post Office and Civil
Service Committee, the measure
was ordered reported to the Senate
today, despite the fact the chamber
is not in session.
Chairman Johnston Of the COM
mittee expressed hope the bill would
pass the Senate. Republican leaders
favored the increases for the Presi-
dent and Vice President, but 1t was
indicated some might object to
rushing through the big measure
carrying so many other raises.
Would Push Bill.
House Democratic and Republican
leaders favor trying to push through
legislation for the President, Vice
President and Speaker of the House
before January 20. But they did not
mention the rest Of the bill when
discussing the issue recently on the
floor.
The $3.50 pay raise for District
workers would be retroactive to July
|3, 1948. They were denied the in
crease matching that of Federal
workers when a sales tax bill to raise
the money was killed in the Senate
after passing the House.
The cost Of granting the pay raise
to 1888 classified employees of this
city would be $2,507 $40, according to
a report of the Civil Service Com
mittee which developed the measure
