Tullius, Publishers Published Every Thursday THURSDAY", JUNE PAGE TWO WHATSOEVER By DONALD GIVE GOD SOME OF YOUR TROUBLES Some years ago several soldiers were having a good time in a soldiers' entertainment cen-- l tetr. Someone began playing the piano and a crowd gathered. Soon the man playing the piano struck up a familiar tune and several in the crowd joined in singing: What's the use of worrying? It never was1 worthwhile; So pack up your troubles In your old kit bag And smile, smile, smile! Someone in the crowd recognized the man playing the piano. "Do you know who that is playing the piano?" he asked the soldier nexlt to him. "That's Felix Lloyd Powell, the man who wrote that song!" Many wish life was as simple as the song suggests". It would be a neat trick if we could pack up our troubles in an old kit ba? and spend the day smiling. But unforftunately life doesn't operate that way. Some things in life cannot be tucked away and forgotten. It is true that many try to pack up their troubles. They try various bags. Some try the bag of alcohol only to find that the trouble is sjtill there when 22, The Parkers Gather ..It was a most happy Father's Day Sunday for Elmer Parker and wife.

There is an old saying that the fastest way out of town is- on a good cheap drunk. The only catch is that town is still' there when you wake up. Still others believe their troubles can be pack up in a drop needle. They try that bag. The only catch here is that the troubles won't stay in the bag unless we push another needle or eat another pill. And when we stop, those same troubles are still there looking us in the eye. Police in Tacoma, Washington found a note on the body of a youth. In part it said: "Dope ruined my life and took away my happiness forever. I could never live in a state of mind I was in." How we humans wish we could take a pill or push a button and our problems would be automatically solved. Some years ago a financially secure man told me that mankind was on the verge of building utopia here on earth by his own initiative. Then, he said, we can One solve all our problems. wonders sometimes if what we are building isn't closer to a hades than a utopia.

Life of simply doesn't work that way. But we can find help for our problems. God will help us. He may not lead us to a quick, easy, and simple solution. But He will help us. And when they get too heavy for us to carry, we can turn our troubles over to Him. At least it will get the weight off our back. The music soon stopped in the soldiers' entertainment center. People went back to other things. In a few minutes they heard a gunshot. Going to the room where the gunshot came from they found Felix Lloyd Powell dead. There was a revolver in his hand. Don't put your troubles in an old kit bag of any kind and continue smiling. If you can't handle them, turn them over to God. He can help. ic STRIKE Stanley F.

It is, of course. This was recently emphasized by Secretary Elliot Richardson of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The occasion was the first annual report on Alcohol and Health, prepared for the Congress by the new National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism .of the National Institute of Mental Health. "Alcohol is the most abused drug in the United States today," said Secretary Richardson. He also stressed that is a disease and alcoholics should no longer be treated as criminals. The report included findings that shed light on the nature and dimensions of this grave problem: . . . Almost 10 percent (or 9,000,000 persons) of the Nation's work force are alcohol abusers and alcoholic individuals. . . . Public intoxification acof all arcounts for rests reported each year. . . .
