We raised Ihree.youngsters here in Freeport. Luckily none of them ever required help for dnig abuse. Some of our n e igh b ^ and friends were not so fortunate. One even lost a son. We thought that the days were'gone when agencies set up to help our youth were told to go some place else, that we had no such problem here; But such appears to be thb case. When we were asked last year to fill a board vacancy on the Freeport Citizens Committee On Drug Abuse Operation Pride,, we . readily accepted. Recalling Uie untimdy death of one Freeport youth not too long ago and the sad destruction of top many.Uves and hornet ’ over the years from our Vo called ‘lidddUie-class model homes^ here In Freeport, we believed that such an organization was a necessity. . Sometimes, however, old-wives' tales, human fears and misin formation can panic a community. Perhaps the experiences of some of our residents to New York City when they were too close to ^ome of . these drug centers causes them to cry out to fear whenever they hear of a drug center coming Into their area.
