For most it's q disease
Alcoholism is a serious problem
For most it's o. disc

cannot stop drinking without the help of others.
Despite the fact that the number Of men who are
alcoholics runs into the millions here in the United
States, there is no great amount of sympathy for this
problem among the general public
Many individuals think alcoholism is simply caus-
ed by excessive and prolonged drinking. Experts tell
us that this is not so in most cases of true alcoholism.
1t seems to be a disease in a fairly large percentage of
cases.
Psychiatrists point out that because alcohol af-
fords a means of escape or is a personality crutch,
neurotics often seek in it a temporary escape from
insecurity and Illustration. But there is a vicious
circle here. The neurotic does not find a solution in
alcohol nor a means of escape from the conflicts of
everyday life, so even more frustrated and then tor
tured by guilt feelings, he seeks to drown his sorrows
in more alcohol.
FIRST STEP in dealing with a real alcoholic
is medical, the second, psychological. 1t is in the sec
ond step that Alcoholics Anonymous has been so eff
fective because it acknowledges that the solution is
not only to stop drinking, but to rehabiltate and re-
educate the individual so he will not turn to drink in
the future.
Another contribution of AA is its recognition and
employment of religious principles. A number of its
famous II steps concern themselves with getting the
individual to admit he has no defense against drink
and that he must depend upon a Higher Power.
The principles and experience of AA have been
confirmed by the opinions of many psychiatrists.
Catholic and non-Catholic alike. 1t is their view that
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-06-01

OUR DIOCESE has taken the lead in this matter
too. Since 1854 the Sisters of the Good Shepherd have
provided a residence for women who are seeking re-
covery from the alcoholic problem. Maryhaven at the
Convent of the Good Shepherd has been a true haven
for many women.
Meetings of groups of both men and women in
terested in helping the alcoholic will be held at the
new Good Samaritan Inn as they have been at Mary
haven.
All of us should be concerned with this ever
growing menace to individual and community welfare.
We can help not only by showing interest and support
for these facilities but by trying to promote the follow
ing points advanced by DR.. Marvin Block Family
Weekly, 1861:
/. The public should be educated to the fact that
drunkenness in any form is not laughable.
2. People should never be encouraged to drink
freely as if it were completely harmless.
8. The impression should be destroyed that abil-
ity to handle liquor is a sign of manliness in men and
feminine poise in women.
A. Children should be taught the potential danger
of alcohol.
5. Everyone must face the fact that in dealing
with any vice, one does not succeed every time and
that fresh starts must be made in keeping with in
dividual limitations.
1t is an age-old lesson. In any moral problem, we
should confess our pOwerlessnesS to God, surrender
ourself into His keeping, and try to accept whatever
sacrifices He asks of us. This prepares the ground
for grace. - GAF
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-06-01

the recovery of an alcoholic is h hardly possible without
the help of religion.
OUR CATHOLIC FAITH can point out here the
basic religious motives for changing ones ways. 1t
shows the victim of alcoholism his true purpose in
life, the necessity of trust in God, and the spiritual
strength that is available from grace and confidence
in divine power.
The Church has dealt with human weaknesses
always. So she reminds the alcoholic that after the
immediate cure there will still be temptation, that he
must avoid the causes of his problem insofar as he can,
and he must pray to God daily for the strength to stay
sober at least for "a hours.
These thoughts are most apropos in light Of the
dedication last Sunday of the Good Samaritan Inn,
the diocesan facility for the rehabilitation of those
afflicted with alcoholism.
1t is in keeping with the tradition of the Church
and her concern for those beSet with physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual weakness. 1t is particularly
noteworthy that this is the first such facility, under
diocesan auspices, in the United States. 1t provides a
residence for rs men.
Surveys indicate that there are only half as many
women as men who are alcoholics in this country. But
a prominent expert in this field recently stated that
this statistic is misleading. He believes there are just
as many women afflicted with this problem, only most
are hidden or secret drinkers. They usually drink at
home and are protected, unwisely, by family and
friends. We say "unwisely" because they will go for
years without facing the reality that they have a real
serious problem.

Warming in Ceylon

During the last two years the leftst government
of Ceylon headed by Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike has
pushed through a series of laws reducing the country's
$50 Catholic schools to a present total of 40.
ORIGINALLY THE government take-over was JUS
titled as being in the interests of so-called equality of
standards and opportunity in education.
The Catholic bishops opposed this move because
the Republication" of schools included the assuming of
proprietor's rights by the Ceylonese government of
lands and buildings used for school purposes.
In January 1861, the government stated categor-
ically that if Catholic opposition was withdrawn, JUS
tice would be melted out to the Catholics.
BUT NOT ONLY has this Capitalization of power
of the Department of Education continued, but even
worse, the appropriation of church property has ex-
ceeded all bounds so that places of worship as well as
class rooms have been taken over. And the remaining
40 schools are in danger of seizure.
Last week the government of Ceylon began an
investigation" of the country's Catholic organization
to study its supposed influence in the armed services,
police, public administration, diplomatic service, press,
unions and political life.
Catholic missionaries have been cruelty restricted
in Ceylon and this Spring Maryknoll Sisters who have
been there since 1949, had to leave the island because
their visas were not renewed.
The experience in Ceylon should be a warning to
church-affiliated institutions everywhere. When a
government takes over any institution in the interest
of standards, it does not intend to stop there. -GAF

oAAOA Va AL WIZ
All those methods of flee
ing from the hubbub of life
have their advantages, but
they are much more compli-
Gated and less effective than
mine.
l simply go somewhere on
a train.
! am bitterly opposed to the
gradual vanishing of train
travel. | think that the Unit
ed Nations, Congress, the Or
ganization of American States,
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization, and the Society
for the Prevention of Discrim-
ination Against Human Beings
(Which is not yet organized)
ought to take steps. Trains
are much too valuable for
mankind to sit idle while they
disappear from use.
a TRAIN is the only place
where a man can sit down in
peace and comfort, order re-
freshments, open a book, and
read a good mystery story
without the possibility that he
will be interrupted by tele-
phone calls, television, the
door bell, his family, his
neighbors, his boss or any
body or anything.
The ultimate freedom that
can be achieved on earth is
found in the club car of a
good train proceeding majes-
tically from one big city to
another without stops for I'M
loading mail or milk or ex-
press packages.
The choice Of reading, of
course, is up to the individ-
ual. once the conductor has
collected your ticket, you're

the 40's? I think it is, and I
suspect that even the most
romantic and nostalgia of the
old timers are really not hop
ing to revive 1.-The fighting
spirit of 1887"
YOU CAN'T BLAME the
old timers, of course, for
looking back rather fondly to
the uproarious conventions of
the SOS and the 40'S. Those
were admittedly very excit-
ing days in the history of the
JAW, and it's only natural,
/ suppose, for the pioneer
members of the union to
think of them - however ro-
mantically as the good
old days.
On the other hand, ! doubt
that even the most starry
eyed veterans of the JAW
really think that the union is
slipping just because its
conventions are less raucous
than they used to be. Some of
the old timers like to remin-
isce about 1.-The fighting spir-
it of 1887" but they are real
istic enough to know that a
union can't live indefinitely
in an atmosphere of crisis and
struggle. They also know
that sooner or later a union
has to put aside the easy
going carelesSness Of Adde'S
cence and get down to the
serious business for which it
was established.
The fighting spirit of
1887 has 10 be replaced by
the less g%lamorous, but cruc-
tally important, spirit of con-
structive "labor-management
cooperation. The current col
lective bargaining agreement
between the JAW and the
American Motors Corporation
is an example of this new
spirit of labor-management
cooperation at its very best.
The parties to this agreement
recognize that they are en-
gagged in a common endeavor
in which each of them has
separate and distinct respon-

Some of the delegates
attending the recent con-
vention of the United
Auto Workers in Atlantic
City, N. j., were heard to
complain rather wistfully
that JAW conventions are
not what they used to be.
JAW conventions - as | can
we'll remember - used to be
humdingers. There was al
ways a lot of noise and ex-
element and good old fash
Toned rough-and,tumble intra-
union politics.
LAST YEARS convention,
however, was a model of or
derby decorum. 1.-THE hordes
of neWsmen," as one report
err sized it up, "the uproar-
ious debates, the night ses-
sionS and heated minority re-
ports have all diminished.
Now, the conventions more
than 1000 delegates sit calm
ly for two hours each morn
ing, adjourn for a two hour
lunch, stroll on the Atlantic
City boardwalk, return at 2,
sit until 4, and then start
drifting back to the hotels
and motels where they re-
side at $40 a day"
The same reporter says
or at least implies that
this represents the very oppo-
site of progress in the de-
velopment of the JAW.
"Yawns and much doodling are
in evidence from listening
delegates" he writes. 1.-THE
old timers look around and
shake their heads. They are
used to the fighting spirit of
1887 and they make no secret
that it must return-if labor
is to regain its dignity"
/ wonder if it's really as
bad as all that. Isn't it pos
sible for a union to make
progress-and protect labor's
dignity without all the
noise and excitement and

politics of the late 3O's and

doing that much, my mind
becomes busy with ideas, or
with the planning of some
thing that I intend to write,
or with the parlous state of
the world.
A DETECTIVE story, how
ever, relieves me of think
ing. | just follow along with
the author, and in an hour
my nervous system is lying
back and taking it easy.
The motion of the train,
the clacking of the wheels,
the sense of going somewhere
with no effort, the silence Of
other occupants of the club
car, conspire to create ex-
actly the atmosphere that the
doctor would order at
least, if | were the doctor;
and insofar as my own relax
ing methods are concerned,
/ am.
One difficulty has been
arising of late, however. It is
growing harder and harder to
find detective stories that
are not of the sort that a man
would not be found dead
with. The trouble seems to be
Erlie Stanley Gardner, Agatha
Christie, John Dickson Carr
and their peers cannot keep
up with me.
WHAT THEY WRITE is as
clean as new snow, and a man
could go to the gates Of
Heaven with his pockets
stuffed with their paperbound
output. But there is a grow
ing rabble of second-rate
writer's in this field who seem
unable to distinguish between
indecency and detection.
Their detectives are more like
alley cats than like human
beings.
/ find it necessary to be in
the railroad station half an
hour or more before train
time to have more time to
select two or three mystery
novels that are fit to read out
of the hundreds of books
which apparently are written
by people obsessed with the
idea that the human mind is
incapable of being interest
ed in anything higher than
cheap Sensuality.
Nevertheless, a train ride
remains the ideal relaxation,
and ! will continue to be
partial to this sort of brief
vacation as long as the
trains are running which
apparently will not be for
long unless somebody takes
steps.

Women do wear
hats TO church

Editor:
In Father Healey's Inquiry Corner of April l3, he
talks about the custom of women keeping their heads
covered in church.
WOULD LIKE to add that there is an old, old
custom in my country, Switzerland, as well as Austria
and Germany, where women 90 to church and Holy
Communion with heads uncovered.
In some areas a woman might wear something on
her head, but often only on Sundays.
| mention this so that when American tourists
come to Europe they will not be scandalized by the
customs of our womenfolk.
This custom is after all a very ancient one in our
countries.
