r E D I T O R I A L S N o D r u g P r o g r a m . . . Lewis County no longer has a Narcotics Guidance Council or a Narcotics Guidance Center. Both, due primarily to apathy, have come to an end. Of course, the inevitable question is: Has our drug abuse problem In Lewis County also come to an end? In spite of what some of us would Uke to believe, It has not. There is still a problem of drug abuse In Lewis County. It Is not as bad as It has been In the past, but It nevertheless still exists. At the present lime, except lor various programs conducted within the schools, there Is no concerted effort to eomhat drug abuse In Lewis County. The only message about drug abuse outside of what ts happening tn the schools Is being carried forth by drug experts of the New Vork State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Thts ls good, but It Is not enough. Lewis County still needs a full scale effort to curb and discourage drug abuse. It ts time those who are In power In Lev,is County and those who are able to Influence decisions started some action which will lead to a workable drug abuse program. Some thought has been given to having such a program con ducted by the Lewis County Board of Cooperative Educational Services, known more commonly as B.O.C.E.S, We fully sup port such an undertaking and hope that B.O.C.E.S. and our Lewis County Board of Legislators and whoever else might be concerned get together as soon as possible and make such a program a reality. Tbe funds appear to be available; all that we need is action. Since B.O.C.E.S. works closely with Ihe young people of our area, we can think of no other organisation better qualified lo handle such a program. Much has been accomplished In the past through various means to curb drug abuse in this county and area. Let’s not lose all we have accomplished for lack of a program to continue the work. Drug abuse Is still a prime concern of every Lewis County resident, and every Lewis County resident, young and old alike, should make every effort to back a new program of narcotics education, drug abuse prevention and rehabilitation. And let's not waste any lime. — Michael J. Blair O u r H a t s O f f T o . . . This week, the Journal and Republican believes it’s time a few words are said about two ladles who have contributed much to the welfare of the people o f this area. F ir s t, there ts Mrs. Frances Nells, director of the Lowvllle Vouth Center. Outside of the schools, we can think of no one In this area who has done more for youth than Mrs. Nells. There Is no limit to what she has done and continues fo do every day for \her kids,” the youngsters who visit the Youth Center In Lowvtlle to while away their Idle hours. She Is without doubt, the Lowvllle lady with the big heart. The number of youngsters who have benefited from the genero sity of thts big heart over the years a re now countless. Many people, like Mrs. Nells, go for years without being recognized for all they have contributed to the welfare of their community. Therefore, It t s with considerable pride this week that we remember the lady with the big heart. And, Mrs. Nells we hope we haven’t embarrassed you. ’ And secondly, we must extend our praise and gratitude to Mrs. Hazel Bush, administrative assistant al the Lewis County Department of Social Services, where she has devoted some 39 years of her tlfe. Every month, the Journal and Republican publishes the month ly financial report of the Deparlmenl of Social Services a re port which ts prepared judiciously by Mrs. Bush, who above afl else always keeps uppermost In her mind the right of the tax payer to know how his dollar is being spent and tax dollars spent on welfare programs are not often dollars spent by the taxpayer without considerable griping. Any question regarding how welfare funds are being spent In Lewts County ts always readfly answered for the p ress, and thus the public, by Mrs. Bush. She is completely dedicated to her |ob and to the people of Lewis County that she serves. And on behalf of all of the people of Lewis County that she ‘ T Blair W<> eXtend 10 hl'r a lonfr overdue thank you. - Michael, A L e t t e r T o G o d / A \ ' i - y . / J ' ffl'J i-wA L i k e N o w by Terry Oakes Mrs. Betty Bush Cherrett, publisher-editor of the Jupiter (Fla.)

Dear God; Why does mommy cry when she looks al me? I went to my room for my doll and mommy cried. She picked me up and held me close to her. I like mommy to hold me In her lap.

It was most surprising to hear Ihe number of people who came out In favor of mercy killing In one form or another. In a nation that was founded on the principle that tlm. . . all men are endowed by Utelr Creator wtth certain unalienable rights, that among these are life . . Ii was astonishing to hear the overwhelming majority of citi zens supporting the murder of a person when he becomes a use less burden to society. During the course of the discussion. It was agreed that there are two general categories of mercy killings, direct and Indirect. Let us examine Indirect euthan asia first. Suppose a ma:i ts tn the hospital and requires aa Iron lung to maintain breathing and therefore sustain life. Doctors say they can do nothing to Im prove hts condition but can keep him alive for six months toa year in the Iron lung. This course of treatment would cause on unbear able financial strain on the man’s wife and five children. The wife is confronted with an extremely painful choice. She must decide whether to allow the doctors to continue the therapy which wtll prolong her husband’s life for a year at the very most, and which would al the same time put her many thousands of dollars into debt and her family Into the pdor house; or she must decide to p e r mit the doctors to stop all treat ments, except those which are necessary lo relieve her hus band’s pain, and let him die a peaceful death. After consider able thought, the wife chooses to end treatments and let her husband die with dignity. Ls sbe right In her decision? Since this Is only a hypothetical case, al though a very plausible one, tt would not he Improper to judge her action. The woman tn this situation was most sincere ln h e r brave and noble decision. But sincer ity does not make an act right. What right does anyone have to decide when a person should die? Financially and parhaps men tally this loving mother made the right decision. But the end does not justify the means- No phy sical malady, no m atter how s e r ious, Is ever completely hope less. There are numerous c ases on record o f people who have r e covered from Illnesses which doctors had proclaimed incurable and fatal. These patients have fully recovered and gone on to lead productive lives. What If someone had decided that these people too Should die since their cases were seemingly as hope less as the man In the iron lung? Hundreds of medical records r e port Instances where doctors had said that certain people would never walk again or never see again but these same cripples now walk and these same blind now see. These people are living proof that no case Is hopeless. In light of this, how can we say that a person should die when doctors pronounce their fa tal d iseases \Incurable?” The second category of euthan asia Is direct mercy killing. This ls the type of mercy killing that was practiced in Nazi Germany, where it was called the \liquida tion of undesirable elements tn society,\ a much more accurate description. It provides for the elimination of the aged from our society because they a re no lon ger able to effectively contribute to the betterment of the state, it also calls for the \m erciful” killing of the retarded or de formed because they cannot en joy life and experience many hardships as a result of their handicaps. In other words, any one who does not measure up to die concept of a \norm al” per son (whatever that may be) and contribute to society as a whole, does not deserve to live and should therefore be exter minated. As horrible as tt may sound, there are those In this country who support such a con cept and if they have their way, we will become no better than the Nazis by Incorporating Into America their warped philo sophies. Authority c e r life and death rests with Divine Providence. II Is hard to Imagine hcrw Christians and other God-tearing people can support mercy kil ling tn any form or manner. But then when one takes a look a- roimd, It becomes much easier to understand the acceptance of these conflicting concepts. When the courts tn this country declare that tt ts wrong to put a man to death for murdering people, and at the same time say that tt Is not wrong to take the life of an Innocent child tn an abortion, is It any wonder that the citizen ry would accept similar contra dictions in their beliefs? I personally would not care to he tn a position to decide who can live and who cannot. I like wise would not want anyone to have that authority over myself. Would you?

By Karen Young In the middle of Lowville sits a park dedicated to the Veterans of the town who have fought dur ing a time of war. This park is a beautiful piece of land which Is being wasted. Looking through the deeds In the County Clerk’s olflce, oae can discover why it Is being treated the way tt Is. The Idea of a memorial park came about In the early 1960 ’s . The town and village boards came together on thts, the town having the money for a memorial and the village having available land. The village began buying land for no particular reason. The town had a memorial fund, but had not settled on what to spend the money on. In 1961, the Idea became a reality. The vtllage had a deed drawn up, giving the town toe land to develop it far a park. The park was dedicated to the veterans on May 30,1862. Then In August of 1962, toe land was reverted back to the vtl lage from toe town, for future maintenance. Certainly, people should be expected to remember veterans of this town. Vet it seems that toe park could have been put to better use. Several stipulations In the deeds of the park stop the people ln toe Lowville area from changing toe park. They are: (1) thal toe park be used and maintained as a natural park, as a Veterans* memorial park, dedicated to those of toe Town of Lowvllle who served their coun try tn time of war; (2) that the park may contain a structure suit able for musical concerts and patrtotlc exercises; (3) that the jnrk be free from encroachment by, but not limited to, parking lots, playgrounds, municipal buildings, and streets; and (4) toe term ’playgrounds’ is not meant to restrict youthful ac tivities upon toe park, but tf Is meant to prohibit permanent play ground facilities. One such group that was stop ped by these stipulations was the Local Government Problems Class of Lowvtlle Academy. They began a drive to e rect playground equipment ln toe Veterans Park, but the fourth stipulation halted toelr movement. This stipulation was aa Idea of the town and village boards. This Idea was ‘kicked around;’ and tt was finally decided that it should be Included In the deed for toe park. Obviously, this group was not thinking of a pos sible future project for toe park. Many people have complained about toe tack of recreational facilities in LowvUle. Yet that (me stipulation stops anyone from even thinking about a future pro ject for the park. I’m sure toe people tn the surrounding neighborhood are glad that toetr backyard has not been tampered with bysomegroup that wishes to utilize the park to Its full extent. And, tf this ts a memorial park for the town, shouldn’t everyone be ahle to derive some enjoyment from it?

First of a ll, we’ll take a closer look this week at the new re tarded children’s program a- and villages of the county. We have, of course, received many comments about these reports. To say the least, some of the r e ports are very criticaL, Many -Q- dopted at toe last meeting of toe contend they a re too critical. Per- Lewls County Board of Legts- haps so to some Instances. How- Iators. As way of explanation to ever, when a town or village Is those who are not fam iliar with cited for a certain violation o!law the program, It ts an expansion to several such reports, as toe of the Association for the Help case has been to many Instances ol Retarded Children, which has we have discovered, it does seem been operating a workshop tor toe violation could be corrected from eight t& ten retarded clients over toe years, above Genuine Auto F a rts on State Street to LowvUle. The legisla tors, at toeir August meeting, to what I believe was h aste, ap proved a budget of more than $19,000 for the program for the fiscal year 1972, 1 say in haste, because toe legislators, o r af least toe majority of them, voted to approve toe program without realizing that thts $19,000 was not a full year’s cost for the program. According to program officials, the cost for * full year wiU be about $30,000. Actually, the program will not be of any great cost to toe county of Lewis, since it ls funded primarily by state funds on a matching basis. However, the county has to cover toe full amount, less 25 per cent provided by the local associa tion, until the state funds are received. If the state funds are withheld for one reason o r an other, weH . . And the way state government ts being financed these days, who can really tell what will happen? In auiy case, the program has plans of ex panding its hi Ip for toe retarded trom 8 to 10 persons to about 25. Some of these 25 will be coming back to toe county from And finally, a few words about toe NIxon-McGovern presidential campaign. Why Is if that certain people accuse President Nixon of “ political maneuvering” whenever he does something to enhance his chances for re-el ection, while Senator McGovern’s efforts a re always referred to as \strategy?” It must be that the . good Senator trom South Dakota ls not a politician, but then It seems strange how he was ever elected to toe Senate o r selected as his party’s choice for toe Presidency, doesn’t It?

The opinions expressed, however, are not to be misconstrued as the opinions o r beliefs of toe Journal and Republican o r its editor.
