The recent agreement between the construction unions and industrial contractors to "prohibit featherbedding, standby crews, and work slow downs" is encouraging, if the "locals" accept it. AH of us agree that transportation needs to be revitalized. A major step in the right direction would be to insist upon increased productivity through the elimination of quota mileage and time restrictions while conforming to man-hour regulations regu-lations and safetv standards.

The District encourages all merchants living in the confines of the District to submit quotations and bids for any items which are needed by the, District and which the merchant handles. The District keeps an active bid list and will place any merchant's name on that list and notify him when quotations and bids will be due. We do want to purchase locally where possible; however, being a tax supported institution, and in the case of the School District receiving approximately 72 percent of our operating budget from State sources, it necessitates that the District use every possible way to hold the cost and expense of education to a minimum. This means careful purchasing practices. Virtually all items, except emergency items and sometimes extremely small items, are put out for bids or quotations. This guarantees that the District will have several quotations which should insure getting the best buy possible on the given item or items. It must be noted, however, that local suppliers must be competitive in order to be selected to supply an item. We do have many merchants mer-chants who continually furnish competitive prices and are given considerable amounts of business by the Nebo School District. There is one area over which the School Board has little control. When a contract is awarded to a building contractor for buildings or for other large jobs, the Board has no control over where the materials for these buildings are purchased. A contractor must have the right to purchase the materials specified at the lowest price possible in order to enable him to build the building and make a profit. It is difficult to advise people where they should shop and buy the things which they are buying, but it would be much better for the entire Nebo District area to spend their money at "home." All of the citizens of our area would benefit with increased business activity; however, merchants must realize that in order to encourage citizens and agencies to buy locally , they must provide three ; things competitive prices; vgood quality, and a selection of merchandise. Let's all think about the advantages ad-vantages of jointly building our area and where our merchants are willing to be competitive and provide a selection, let's support them and our communitites.

These two legal drugs, he says, will kill more people and ruin more lives than all the illegal drugs, including Marijuana, LSD, and Heroin. He is afraid of Marijuana Mari-juana and believes it will prove to be not only dangerous but physically and psychologically damaging to users. He con-dems con-dems "Pot" as the great initiator initia-tor of youth into the drug society. The biggest Marijuana producer pro-ducer is a big man with a beard. He is Dr. Norman J. Doorenbos, Chairman of the Department of Pharmacognosy, Pharmacog-nosy, University of Mississippi. Missis-sippi. On carefully guarded plots of rich earth, at Oxford and Biloxi, he grows 30 species of Marijuana for the National Institute of Mental Health and its program of research into Marijuana a program in which scores of research institutions insti-tutions throughout the world are participating. Dr. Doorenbos Dooren-bos was a speaker at the Alabama Ala-bama Drug Alert '71 Seminar in which our National Education Educa-tion Program staff assisted. , Research Just Beginning . Dr. Donrenbos, father of six girls, and one boy, says the-world-wide research program into Marijuana is too young to have produced definitive facts. What he does know about tobacco and alcohol, moves Dr. Doorenbos to condemn them "as damaging drugs." "Tobacco "Tobac-co will not do as much harm to a given individual as many of the products that we think about in association with drug abuse," he said. "But if you take a look at the effect of tobacco on the nation as a whole, the effects are devastating. devasta-ting. Tobacco Death Soaring "In the last 30 years, deaths from lung cancer have increased in-creased 3,000 per cent The life expectancy in America for a new born baby is less than in Costa Rica, than in Portugal, Albania, and in the many countries where smoking has not become popular. There is no mystery about why smokers get cancer; the big question is why don't all smokers get cancer. (This is due, he says, to the differing chemical makeup make-up of people). Cancer from smoking is the third most fatal disease in America. Emphysema Em-physema caused by smoking tobacco is the second greatest killer. Heart disease is No. 1; although emphysema is the number one killer today among veterans of World War II. Tobacco smoke encourages heart failure in two ways: (1) it breaks down the heart muscle, and (2) yet stimulates the heart to increase its beat about 12 beats a minute. "The Cancer Research Institute In-stitute in London has hard evidence on tobacco damage. If you take two 16 year old boys, and one begins to smoke and smokes a pack a day, and the other one does not smoke, and they live out their lives in London, England tfiat one pack a day will take 14.1 years off the life of the smoker." Alcohol Still Predominant Dr. Doorenbos says that despite de-spite the tremendous spread of Marijuana and other drugs, alcohol still is the major drug used on college campuses today. to-day. And it causes more students stu-dents to need help in counselling, coun-selling, in psychiatric and psychology psy-chology assistance than anything any-thing else. "Alcohol disables," says Dr. Doorenbos. "We have 6.5 million mil-lion alcoholics. One out of every 15 who drinks becomes alcoholic, and alcohol is one of the major causes of death in America today. Its total devastation de-vastation in our sociey is almost al-most unmeasurable.

The projected volume of $1 billion for this year's presents to Dad makes Father's Day . the second-biggest gift-giving holiday of the year topped only by Christmas according to a study by the research department depart-ment of Black & White Scotch. Since flowers and candy have a lower price tag than a bottle of Scotch or a box of fine cigars, the study shows, Father's Day accounts for a bigger dollar volume than Mother's Day. It is a women's market and more jthan 75 percent of the gifts will be purchased by mothers and daughters. Father's Day was started by Mrs. John B. Dodd, a Spokane, Washington native who, with her brothers and sisters, was raised by her father after her mother's death. She started a campaign back in 1909 to establish a Sunday in June to honor all fathers. The idea was a popular abuse, I think we need to be willing to recognize that alcohol al-cohol and tobacco, which are legal, and which are widely used, are forms of drug abuse." Dr. Doorenbos is unalterably opposed to legalizing Marijuana. Mari-juana. He feels that when the facts begin to come in, most people will want to keep it rigidly under legal control.
