Reports are available which show that chronic use leads to muddled thinking and the type of changes which are similar to those seen in organic brain damage. A scientific study has concluded that the active ingredient in marijuana impairs the immune system and opens the way for virus infections.

The tendency of papers to endorse Republican presidential candidates is often cited to counter the argument that liberal bias exists.

Generally speaking, marijuana use has been severely condemned for centuries, even earning the death penalty in a number of nations. Interesting, too, is that the word assassin is derived from the Arabic word which means hashshashin, persons addicted to the type of marijuana known as hashish. The original Assassins were a group of hired murderers who worked their trade under the influence of the drug. Obviously, AH candidates usually reflects the views of the editor of the editorial page or perhaps the publisher. The editorial writers put their views before the public openly, and the views of the news editors and reporters. But the news editors and reporters may actually be in a better position to mold opinion than the editorial writers. The stories they select, the way they write them, the positioning of them in the paper can make a lot of difference.

The angry father learned that the lesson" came from a booklet entitled Popular Songs Student Guide put out by a federally funded group called Hawaii English Program (HEP). In addition to the promotion of drug use, HEP has numerous other shocking features. From Bad to Worse For instance, the HEP component called Gestures asks the youngsters whether they would mind being hugged or kissed on the mouth by their teacher. One lesson teaches the types of gesture that might accompany threats of murder and suicide. Another component called Sounds is loaded with references to murder, theft, and assault. One section listed strategies to employ while shoplifting, and another detailed how to extort money from a shopping center with a bomb scare. The Propaganda component teaches children that they are victims of parental propaganda. Instructions in how to take over a school and how to start a battle in a classroom follow.

(Liberty Lobby News Service) Well, now its official: the world's richest oil formation, discovered on the North Slone of Alaska, does extend under the Beaufort Sea. It Middle looks like a new Hast in our own backyard that could supply all our energy needs for a long time to come. And the only question is how soon the dead hand of various government regulatory agencies will be lifted to authorize building the pipelines to carry that oil and gas to the lower 48 states. days ago, a front page Wall Street Journal article announced that the price of natural gas is expected to rise again, and that already a massive switch to oil heating is under way in housing now being built. Its bad news for millions of Americans who'll shiver again this winter in poorly-heate- d homes. It also means n dollar a further hole in our balance of payments to pay for oil imports, which now represent more than half our consumption. On the other hand, there have been some very hopeful developments for our future supplies of oil and gas. They all concern the flush Saddlerochit sands on the North Slope of Alaska that yield more than 40,000 barrels of oil per well per day, as against 16,000 in Saudia Arabia and 23,000 in Kuwait.

Apparently it's only the beginning; Canadian oilmen who have explored the area report that the oil and gas structures become bigger and bigger toward the bottom of the Beaufort Sea. This information comes mainly from officials of Dome Petroleum, Ltd., of Calgary, which has already invested more than a quarter of a billion dollars in exploring the Beaufort Sea both the American and Canadian part of this Arctic water. It expects to spend another $500 million to drill 15 exploration wells under the Canadian portion. Dome has three drill-ship- s. five icebreaker supply ships, plus other units operating in the Beaufort Sea this year.
