Drug is a four-lettfour-lettwords And, like many of some now it frightens today, us. The word drug almost has become permanently coupled with the word abuse" in our vocabulary. Drug abuse, in turn, is associated with crime, degeneration, moral decay and the breakdown of law and order. But. does the word drug" really denote only the criminal and those in revolt against society? No! Todays drug dilemna is not just the extreme users and abusers who receive so much attention. Far too many in our total population misuse drugs. d We are a society. Businessmen under situational stress take one pill to heighten their acuity or another to soothe their nerves. Housewives under social stress take a uiM to get them started in the morning and another to calm their nerves in the afternoon or to put them to sleep at night. Others meet at cocktail time for a relaxing er er drug-oriente- alcoholic beverage. Is a solution to the drug abuse problem near? It looks doubtful. Our life in the 1970s will be determined by how we use the products of our technical ingenuity. Today's patterns of drug abuse and misuse illustrate our inability so far to make our technology work for us as servant rather than as master. As science continues to offer choice of com-nle- x in chemicals designed to modify emotions and behavoir and enable us to cope with our environment. ways are being found ever-wideni- ng to misuse them. Our ingenuity seems to have outrun our wisdom. We have yet to find the restraint to limit ourselves to the constructive use of these products. The safe, effective use of medicine depends upon the patient and the guidance of his pharmacist and' or his physician. The three must work togther in order that the therapeutic miracles we have achieved can benefit the human body, not damage it. Unfortunately, our d society has led us into dangerous lack of respect for drugs. The public has come to think of drugs in two broad Narcotics" which categories: are dangerous, and which are not dangerous. Therefore, prescription drugs are all too often considered powerful but not dangerous: drugs are erroneously considered harmdrug-oriente- non-narcoti- non-narcot- set cs ic non-prescripti- on less. These indiscriminate attitudes. this lack of respect for drugs, have become a primary concern for the pharmacist and physician. Surveys show, for example, substantial by patients with their ihyscian s orders concerning the use of prescription medicines. 1. Some patients reason that if one dose helps, two woud be even better. Patients who forget to take medicine at the prescribed time double the dose when it is finally taken. Taking more than the prescribed amount of a medicine can be dangerous. 2. Many patients give prescription medication to relatives, friends and neighbors apparently unaware of the inherent danger and possible legal problems involved. Many, in fact, regard their act as a kindness to someone in need. ce Dear Editor; On October 15, my wife, oldest son, his wife, and I had the sad experience of being in Roosevelt to arrange for and attend the final burial services for our beloved and mother, mother-in-laHelen grandmother, Taylor (Mrs. Odeklrk. It was a time of Lawrence) mourning for all of our immediate family who live many miles away from Utah. The outpouring of personal love and respect by Latter Day Saints, Bishop Scholes, her friends and acquaintances In the area, was most comforting to us. We knew how much she loved them. We were Impressed and grateful for the personal love and affection the people we met and observed expressed for one another. This In Itself Is unique In today's world. I am sure there Is no way outside of the brother and sisterly love of the Christian faith where such attitudes shine so Members of Latter Day Saints brightly. were exemplary witnesses for modern times during our brief time In Roosevelt. This Is my way for Helen's family to send thanks to the Roosevelt Latter Day Saints Church members and the other fine human beings of Roosevelt, Myton, Arcadia, and Salt Lake City. Sincerely, Theodore R.
