This law, passed during the depression, has had the effect of requiring that the highest prevailing union wages be paid to workers on federal and federally assisted construction projects. proj-ects. President Nixon has taken the first needed step by suspending this provision of the Act. The next move is up to Congress. Instead of moving now to subject all of us to price and wage restrictions, Congress should completely wipe out this law that has artificially helped to boost construction costs throughout the country. Its repeal re-peal would not restrict either management or labor. But it would eliminate the leap-frogging effect of forcing up the costs of construction in an entire area if it has a federal project underway, even though less expensive labor might be available. Low-and middle-income Americans, searching for adequate housing for their families, would benefit from prompt Congressional response. Wage settlements in the construction industry have been twice as high as in manufacturing generally. gen-erally. And it appears that the construction workers themselves are suffering because unemployment in their industry is double the national average. 5 TIME TO STOP PLAYING GAMES yL Advanced helicopter designs '. offer a solution to congested city-center to city-center pas-! pas-! senger transportation.

GIVES MARTY A FEW GOOD TIPS ABOUT HI9 FAVORITE GAME I 'g ooMng' From the superintendent's desk Smokey Sayus Ahead by Dr. George S. Benson President NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas NEW LIGHT ON DRUG MENACE In Greek Mythology, Narcissus Narcis-sus was a beautiful youth who fell in love with his own reflection re-flection in the clear pool of a mountain spring. One of New York's foremost psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, Dr. Aaron Stern believes that the nationwide nation-wide epidemic of drug misuse among the youth generation has its foundation in a widespread wide-spread Narcissism developed in adolescence. He blames parents whose husband-wife relationship does not reflect true love (causing the child to turn inwardly) and the child himself for his refusal to grow into normal adulthood. Dr. Stern is Supervising and Training Psychoanalyst at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. In recent years he has concentrated concen-trated on the worsening problem prob-lem of drug misuse among American youth. He was the kickoff speaker in the most comprehensive (and encouraging) encour-aging) statewide drug seminar ever held in America, the Drug Alert 71 two-day program pro-gram in Birmingham Jan. 28-29. The Program brought to ' Alabama a great array of knowledge and experience in the drug problem. And on the afternoon of the closing day the leadership of the seminar and the governmental and citizen leaders of the state met and pushed forward a "Drug Alert" state-wide program that already is enlisting the resources re-sources of the whole commonwealth. common-wealth. Alabama is going to meet and in my opinion, defeat de-feat one of the great menaces of all time. Every citizen of every other state, should take heed! Dr. Stern based his lecture on three basic propositions which he set worth as folows: "1. The young in America today are the most Narcissistic generation of adolescents in the history of this country. "2. They are the most knowing know-ing generation of young, probably prob-ably in the history of the world (and thus frustrated). "3. They are the most op-presed op-presed society of adolescents we've ever had (oppressed mainly by their inability to cope with the adult world). "What is happening to young people today," Dr. Stern said, "is that they are under-going the fate of almost every successful suc-cessful society that preceded us." He compared in detail the America today with Gibon's account of the Rise and Fall of Rome, and drew these parallels: 1. Increase in use of drugs. School is over and the many reports, inventories, etc., which have to be made at the close of the year will take up much of the summer. In addition to closing out this year we will be in full gear trying to get ready for school late in August when ten thousand boys and girls will begin the next step on the educational ladder, either entering en-tering for the first time in kindergarten or moving up a grade as they progress through the public schools. The public does not actually see the work involved in the brief ten weeks between the time school lets out in the Spring and when it begins in the Fall. In addition to closing and opening, we have the summer programs, curriculum development, develop-ment, institutes, workshops, maintenance, equipment replacement, re-placement, small renovations, painting, cleaning, etc. Nebo concludes this school year with many accomplishments. accomplish-ments. We have operated on an operational budget of $5,808,991. This figure may be adjusted when the final audit and close-out close-out is made June 30. The adjustments adjust-ments would be small. The State Legislature, through legislative action, has provided an increase in revenue of approximately $240,000 to $250,000. This figure is to cover inflationary costs, if at all possible. The School Board has been fiscally responsible in Nebo District in operating the 1970-71 budget and a new budge, which will reflect increased costs. Some shifts and fund expenditures ex-penditures will be presented to the Board for adoption on June 22 and by law must be revised, if necessary, and adopted by July 1. Interested citizens are invited to attend the budget hearing and express their opinion regarding the proposed budget. 2. Increase in prevalence of bi-sexuality. 3. Breakdown in capacity to work. 4. A rift between the elders and young of society. Dr. Stern's advice to parents of young children: "The home should be anchored in the love relationship between the parents. Kids should want that kind of love for themselves them-selves and come to recognize they cannot get that unless they grow up and find it for themselves in other human beings. be-ings. One of the most devasta-tive devasta-tive concepts in growth development devel-opment is the 'child-centered' homer-When you make your little boy a prince and every little-' tgiri a princess, why should they ever let go. The outside world will not be so kind. The children will be forced to compete on a different dif-ferent level. Their frustration poses the big problem. Drugs are one of the inadquate solutions." Graduation activities successful; appreciation extended helpers Dr. Joe A. Reidhead As a parent of a graduate and one responsible, I would like to express appreciation to those who put out special effort to make the post-graduation activities ac-tivities a success. First of all, to the fine young people who are what it's all about and keep rules because they care about the other guy.
