Show 4 2 BOX ELDER NEWS, Brigham Sunday, November 2, 1969 Gty, Utah where back in the bills without scissors or soap. Lined up, their tassel-haire- d heads were reminiscent of a row of chrysanthemums or paint brushes left too long in the lacquer. Of course the long look is not restricted to pigskin performers, it is prevalent with most mcles of the moment, at least the younger ones. Many of us older fellows dont grow long hair. Some dont grow any at all, period. Anyway, have you watched some of these lithe lads run beneath those tall tresses? They flop up and down like an eagle trying to leave the nest but never quite making it. The object is to let the locks swoop down over the forehead, even cascading beyond the eyebrow line at times, creating the beekaboo look. Little Orphan Annie doesnt have any eyeballs and who knows, maybe the new generation doesn't have any foreheads. Maybe if we were to pull back the curtain of follide finery, nothing would be there. Whenever Pow Wow starts to spout about such matters at home refers to his teenage offspring that yearbook picture of lo those many years ago, the one that that shows PW with a coiffure more resembles Za Za Gabor than any sports hero of the time, except maybe Lily St. Cyr. Well, thats differentl" iron-deficie- Dont Legalize Marijuana Use . Margaret Meads suggestion to a Senate committee this past week to legalize marijuana in an effort to close the breech between young and old was startling. That she should propose such a drastic departure from current policy cannot be shrugged off as the mental meanderings of a social misfit. Dr. Mead is one of the worlds most respected Its autumn. And what more could any sensitive soul seek than n to shuffle along a in the brisk sidewalk, or breath air, or bundle up for the football game, or go afield in quest of the leaf-strew- anthropologists. She contends that the friction caused by prohibiting marijuana is more damaging to law, the nation and relations between young people and their elders than the drug itself, describing it as safe unless taken in excessive amounts. With all due respect to Dr. Mead and acknowledging that some truth may exist in what she says, we must disagree with her on the basic pheasant? Theres harvest wily and Thankscorn stalks giving, dry standing the field, pumpkins piled high at the fruit stands, winter squash in the garden and the golden realization that we continue to reap a bumper crop of blessings. Sigh . . . its autumnl in issue. Marijuana should not be legalized. We can never hope to strengthen national character by holding up the lowest common denominator as a -- Say, wont you be glad when short hair for boys comes back into style?

Marijuana is notorious as a stepping stone to traffic in other drugs, and it has an adverse effect on the users ability to think and react. It is, for example, dangerous to drive while under the influence of marijuana, just as it is with alcohol. Of course an opposing argument is that adults, holding a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other while harboring the habit of taking pills to pick us up and settle us down, pose a hypocritical image to todays youth. We agree. In this respect, adults are not blameless. They are too often accomplices to the very drug culprit which they vigorously denounce. And yet the current movement is to disuade people from smoking and drinking to excess. Why and open the floodgates to mari-- ' do a turn-abo, juana and its attendant ills? Sorry, Dr. Mead, we agree there must be some will. At a college football game the other day we sat right behind the players on the visiting team. They looked okay with the helmets on but when they came off along the sidelines . . .wow. It looked awful. The lengthy locks of those muscular men, soaked in sweat, stuck down here, sprang up there, giving the impression that these gridiron gladiators lived some "Yeh, why?" "Well, because . . . . Will You Vote? The Utah Institute of Drug Problems may be coming to Brigham City. A meeting to determine the level of local interest in it will be held at Box Elder High school Friday, Nov. 7. Its important that the session be well attended. Drug abuse is a problem, compounded too often by public ignorance. The institute, only recently inaugurated in Salt Lake City, is an effort to clear the air, to educate the public about drugs, their effects and uses and how to effectively cope with the problem. Our finest resource is the young people of today. But we need to work with, not against them, and to find a common level of understandWe believe the Utah Institute of Drug blems will help to do this.
