WASHINGTON REPORT
Congressman Edwin D. Eshleman
Uth Dl»trlc»-P«nniylvanl«
I .mi convinced that the use
of the dtug ni.uiju.ma leads
dncctlv to the use of the highly
addictive ding heroin Some
evidence out of Washington,
D C bc.us me out on that con
tention A succession of ex-ad
dicts. icfoimeis of addicts and
naicolics' law enforcers who ap
pealed iccently before the
Senate Distucl Committee pre
sented a senes of distuibmg
facts about dings in the Nation s
Capital that should be digested
b.v patents and young people
alike
Foi some time the usage of
dings in Washington has been
spieading Too little was done
a' the outset of the problem to
halt the city’s tiaffic in naicotics
Pei haps officials were lulled in
to complacency with statements
to the effect. “The kids are
smoking a little maujuana. but
eveiyone knows that maujuana
h not paiticulaily haimful”
Howevei somewheie along the
line the situation got completely
out of hand Today, Washing
ton is not faced with a marijuana
pioblem because a heroin prob
lem has taken its place
The extent of heroin usage is
almost beyond belief It is esti
mated that one-third of the stu
dents in Washington jumoi and
senioi high schools have used
the haid drug This is coupled
to the estimate that over thiee
quarters of the teenagers m the
city have experimented with
chugs of some type That means
that better than one out of three
•young people who have had
some contact with diugs have
“turned on’ with heioin Even
the most vocal advocate of legal
izing maujuana must view those,
statistics with some alaim Nou.|

about the thought of thousands
of young people becoming hard
erne addicts, perhaps the signifi
cance for society held by a
“hooked generation” is worthy
of thought The Nation is
avvaie that its Capital has a
ciisis in crime. Ranking fust
among crime factors is dope. On
a national scale, it has been
asseitcd that if the traffic in
naicotics could be halted, at
least half the street dime in
this country would stop Why?
Heiom addiction costs between
?50 and $2OO a day. Such costs
drive the addict to shoplifting
and prostitution among the so
called “minor offenses”, and to
ding pushing and aimed lobbeiy
among the major cuminal ac
tivities used to get money to buy
dope The multimillion dollai
pi of its resulting from diug sales
go into the pockets of om coun
tiy’s worst domestic enemy
organized crime Senator Good
elf of New Yoik, points out
that much cf the present aliena
tion of the black community
can be tied directly to the fact
that Negroes are clearly the
chief victims of the vicious

Begin Early In Life To
Establish Credit Rating
How's yom credit latmg 9
Think you don’t have one 9 Yes
your credit rating comes about
naturally as you become old
enough to begin paying yom
own bills, according to Helen E
Bell, extension home manage-
crime that grows out of the dope
users’ limitless appetite With
great logic, the vicimized blacks
place the blame on the white
kingpins of organized crime who
import the hard diugs and make
it their business to see that
thousands of youths are turned
into cash customeis
I can only add my lecommen
dation to that of the experts who
believe that we must develop a
sense of urgency about he nar
cotics problem We can no long
ei talk about isolated instances
of dope usage, but must begin to
lecognize that we have a major
penl on our hands that is at the
loot of many of the other nation
al pioblems we aie hoping to
solve It seems to me that the
public and its government bald
ly can continue to look the othei
way, but must begin a crackdown
at every opportunity to halt the
narcotics traffic.

It’s nnpoitant to develop the
haabit of keeping money prob
lems in hand early in life When
you ically need ciedit. yom
credit rating will show that
you’re a peison who can be
trusted
You don’t need to open a
charge account somewhere to
establish a credit rating
Neither do you need to borrow
money or buy an item “on
ciedit” Howevei Miss Bell
suggests you think about
whether you’ve been paying
your bills on time 01 if you’ve
let some slip by This is good
self-evaluation for jour ciedit
rating
What helps to establish a
good credit lating foi you 9
Promptness in payment of bills
and being a constantly employed
family aie important Changing
jobs fiequently could give you
a shaky rating But, steady em
ployment with a icliable fum
makes yom ciedit rating look
better
Investments help yom ciedit

The thunderstorm season is
at hand and buildings with
lightning icds should have a
good degiee of protection, pro
viding the system is connected
and in good order. Building
owneis are mged to make an
inspection to be sure that all
connections are tight, that the
jods are free of any matter that
would burn, and that the rods
are deeply grounded into moist
soil. We have heard of cases
where the ground rod or cable
was not deep enough into the
ground, and during dry summer
months, the ground rod was not
into moist soil and therefore did
not serve as a ground for the
lod system Inspect the system
now and avoid a serious fire.

newly man led couples have had
little time to make such invest
ments so it may be moie diffi
cult for them to obtain credit.
