Scott, president of the Mbertsons grocery chain, said today that his company is instituting 'his system of revealing date codes on hundreds of different perishable items in each store. The new service is called Albertsons "Freshness Code.

Surveys show there are more than 9,000,000 alcoholics ar:ong the 80,000,000 who today ur alcohol regularly. Progressive disease Alcoholism nearly always is a progressive disease. While progression differs in many cases, the majority of alcoholics follow patterns which can be used as guidelines. Some cases develop slowly and others methodically, swiftly and violently; but, for the most part, the average time required to progress from the first signs of loss of control to final stages is 15 years for men and 7 for wo- show first symptoms of the disease. The length of time varies considerably from a few months to many years. Only some of this type of drinker develop alcoholism. It is that person with whom we must be concerned, not all who drink. Person unaware The person who eventually abuses alcohol invariably is unaware that he is finding, not although, deliberately seeking, an increasing number of occasions for drinking. This person derives an from "exceptional reward his drinking. He feels liquor does more for him than it does for most people. For him alcohol Icings a relief from tension. This feeling of pressure, he is positive, comes from circumstances and surely not from the liquor. When much later, he analyzes honestly, he realizes that his reaction to liquor has built up nsions. Problem drinker He continues to drink more heavily and more often, experiencing feelings of freedom, adequacy and confidence which normally are not his. As he drinks more, he eventually becomes aware the drinking of alcohol is more important than is the occasion he once considered to be an excuse. The next step is obvious. The former pattern of "occasional drinking" grows into constant or regular relief To begin at earliest stages, we look at periods when individuals may Once such relief drinking begins, the imbiber may be designated as a "problem His drinking most drinker. lank first in major U.S. Health Problems: Upwards of nine million Americans are chronic alcoholics . . , and the disease of alcoholism increases yearly by an estimated 500,000. Alcoholism is a disease Alcoholism is a disease which need no lead either to death or confinement in a mental institution.

WANTED eagerly get at his drinking at a time when there will be no interference from the demands of conducting the details of his job. Drinking truly is a welcome release from the cares of a troubled existence. It is the common boast of practically every alcoholic that urinking rarely, if ever, interfered with his work. He . does shrug off the inefficiencies resulting from brutal hangovers. They also may have made him sometimes late, bid he always reported in. Morning jolt Once the individual is motivated toward the morning jolt to start the day, he is slipping from into the acute state, which will come under study in the next article of this series. There are no time standards to help in identification of a drinking problem in the period. It mav be only five or six months or that many years.
