(Editor’s Note: This is seventh in
a series ea chemical dependency
from Georgia Braith waite,
Executive Director of the Alcohol
and Drag Intervention Council, 9*9
Vanderbilt, Stephen vtlle, Texas, 9*9-
9911.)
Those who view marijuana use
and alcohol use as unrelated issues
had better think twice. Recent
empirical findings and the practical
experience of direct service
professionals demonstrate clearly
that marijuana and alcohol go hand-
in-hand as a ‘'Chemical combo” at
all levels of use. Here is some
interesting data concerning
psychoactive drug use among
alcohol users.
Most marijuana users are also
alcohol users. Only 4 percent of high
school students who used marijuana
In the year prior to the survey
reported that they abstained from
alcohol.
Marijuana use increases in extent
and frequency among senior high
school students who are heavier
users of alcohol.
An estimated 63 percent of heavy
drinkers used marijuana within the
previous month, compared to only 4
percent of alcohol abstainers, 9
percent of infrequent drinkers, 31
percent of light drinkers, 3* percent
of moderate drinkers, and 93 percent

of moderate to heavy drinkers.
Use of seven types of psychoactive
drugs other than alcohol and
marijuana is more extensive and
more frequent among senior high
high school students who are heavy
users of alcohol. An estimated 1*
percent of senior high school
students who are heavier drinkers
used stimulants in the preceding
month in contrast to 1 percent of the
students who are infrequent
drinkers. An estimated 10 percent
who are heavier drinkers used
cocaine during the same one-month
period in contrast to 0.3 percent of
infrequent drinkers.
Polydrug use - The use of two or
more psychoactive drugs other than
alcohol • Is more extensive and more
frequent among senior high school
students who drink more heavily.
The same strong association found
between drinking levels and
marijuana use also occurs between
drinking levels and polydrug use of
the heavier drinkers. 46 percent
said that at some time they have
used two or more psychoactive
drugs other than, alcohol compared
with the 9 percent of the infrequent
drinkers. During the month
preceding the survey, 94 percent of
heavier drinkers used two or more
other types of psychoactive drugs,
whereas only 1 percent of infrequent
drinkers did.
HOSPITAL MflOUMT
MEETS
The Hospital Auxiliary met
November 9 at 7 p.m. at the bank.
Jean Kirk brought the devotional,
and Eula Weaver presided over the
business meeting in the absencfe of
President Gladys Pittman, who was
helping at the election.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were approved. Several
committees made reports.
Roger Mae Smith introduced the
guest speaker, Bruce Hammon, who
spoke on the service which Medical
Ancillary Services provide. This is a
part of Harris Hospital Health
Services. Nuclear medicine and
ultrasound Is provided to those
hospitals in the rural areas on an as-
needed basis. Other services
available are echscardingrams,
hotter monitoring, CT scanning, and
EEG services. These can be
proviced at a cost that is usually Isas
than if the patient were referred to
the larger metropolitan hospitals.
He explained that nuclear medicine
differs from X-ray, but it is very
similiar. Mr. Hammond
Herman Gilder swapped a half
acre of cantaloupes for a couple of
gifted pigs. Once the bargain was
struck he loaded them into the cab of
his pickup to take them home.
To the untrained eye, they seemed
runted and they were richly
endowed with fleas and ticks. They
were also viscious.
Before he even got them home
Herman had lost a pair of ostrich
botes to their attacks in the floor
board, but their javelina tendencies
<Bd not affect Herman’s high opinion
of his newly acquired stock.
He christened them Arnold and
Amette, and Herman devoted much
time and effort to their trainiiq; and
upbringing. With Jobe like patience
he schooled them in the fine art of
peanut weeding, mesquite grubbing
and patrolling the premises for
prowlers.
Fondness must be reciprocal, for
they mastered these tasks in short
order.
Arnold was Jute a shade more
intelligent than Arnette, and as a
reward was allowed to ride in the
back of the pickup when Herman
went to the coffee shop.
While Herman was inside
coffeeing up Arnold waited
patiently, often barking at dogs in
adjacent rigs.
Yea sir, it turned out, Arnold was
M-Ungual on top of all Ms other
Eddie LJndley, Wade Butler and
Herman Gilder, all men of
impeccable credentials and honesty
tted this story with only minor
differences, and since none of the
three have any reason to lie to me,
assume it must be true.
To be truthful, one doubted it at
first. One even went and checked
Herman’s pickup to see whether
Arnold was there.
He wasn’t, but there was a big
black dog, and he was competent to
protect the pickup from invasion.
The little doubt one stffl harboured
was forever removed when one
confronted Herman
shop.
“How come,” inquired meekly,
“Arnold stays home all the time and
you’re hauling that dog around?”
“Simple!” Herman explained.
“That dog ain’t nothin’ but a dog.
Arnold is at home bringing in a crop
of peanuts. He’s rootin’ and weedto*[
right now.
That dog and Arnold can both bark
and guard my track, but there ain’t
never boon a dag that can pull
careleas weeds!”
complimented the De Leon Hospital
and congratulated the auxiliary for
its support.
Hoteeases for the meeting were
Meadames Ray Harvey and Emmett
Locke. They served delicious
refreshments of cookies, nuts,
Johnson, Burleson, Kirk, Locke,
Pittman, Caraway, Weaver, and
Misses Stephens and Smith. The
next meeting will be December I
and Hiram and Dale Smith will show
aBdsa of their trip to Haiti.
