Substance abuse
is program topic
Dr. Jim Hunter was program
chairman for the Wednesday noon
Rotary Club luncheon. He in-
troduced his Rotary Ann, Kay, who
spoke on "Substance Abuse in the
Marketplace."
"Alcohol and drugs have been in-
vading almost every home or
family and there is a great need for
more education. There are other
addictive drugs such as aspirin,
which are being used as on the job
crutches. Our children are aware of
those who have drugs such as
marijuana for sale and where they
can obtain alcoholic beverages. The
loss of time in the work place which
is caused by drug abuse has been
estimated to cost $140 billion each
year and this cost is continuing to
increase. Education and stronger
law enforcement as well as
stronger laws are needed to cope
with this problem," stated the
speaker.
Dwight Parsley of Jacksonville
and Judge Marvin Blackburn of
Junction were visiting Rotarians.
Judge Morris Hassell of Rusk was a
visitor.
