Coordinating Council on Drug Education
Drug educators are one of
this nation’s smallest minor
ity groups. And the media
men are having about as
much luck communicating
with them as they are with
the other minority groups.
Madison Avenue recently
did an “anti-drug” spot which
follows the lines of the song
“Ten Little Indians ” Each
one of the Indians drops-off
from a sort of misadventure
with drugs It’s easy to see
why the Indians reacted vio
lently to this kind of ad. The
drug educators aren’t any
happier with what is yet an
other in a series of thought
less, mone> -w asted messages.
And yet that ad is nothing
compared with the new film
Supei Fhi, the story of a black
cocaine dealer who makes it
big The only people who
aien’t hurt by this picture
aie the producers—the movie
glossed moie money in its
first week than Guess Who’ s
Cominq fot Dmnn
BANG (Black Against
Naicotic Genocide), an or
ganisation with members like
Washington, D C Delegate
Walter Fauntrov and D C
School Board President
Mai ion Barry, has picketed
the film People aie advised
not to see it because in Bang’s
words “We need to develop
positive images of black peo
ple and ceitamb a cocaine
dealer or hustler should not
be glorified—he should be ex
posed for what he is and
stopped ”
The weary drug educators
can only shake their heads
Of course, one film or one ad
isn’t going to change some
one’s attitude or belief. One
production won’t stop drug
misuse any more than it will
turn everyone into first-class
citizens However, if there
are enough good productions,
something might start to
happen And, if there are
enough bad productions, un
fortunately, that something
is already starting to happen

Disease of American
Elm Spreading Slowly
Elm phloem necrosis, a disease
of American elm found last year
in Pennsylvania for the first
time, is still confined to an area
north of Jersey Shore and in the
limits of the town, says Dr.
William Merrill, plant
pathologist at Pennsylvania State
University.
The center of the infection lies
along US. Route 220 north of
Jersey Shore, Dr. Merrill and
associates ascertained during a
recent survey of the Susquehanna
River Valley from Lock Haven to
MontoursviUe.
Trees showing symtoms in the
summer of 1971 were dead by
June of 1972. Many other elms
are showing symtoms of elm
phloem necrosis this summer, it
was noted. Newly infected trees
were discovered only a few
hundred yards north of the old
infection center. Other new in
fections were found slightly to the
west toward the town of Avis.

A devastating disease, Dr.
Merrill reports. It is spread by a
tiny leafhopper which mav have
several generations per year.
The slow rate of spread gives
some measure of hope to Penn
sylvania communities trying to
preserve and maintain their elm
plantings, he observes.
Infected trees die all at once,
rather than branch by branch
like elms suffering from the well
known Dutch elm disease. The
foliage droops, curls, and wilts,
and takes on a uniform yellow to
golden yellow color. At this stage
the inner bark at the base of the
tree and in the roots turns the
color of butterscotch.
If small pieces of these but
terscotch colored bark are placed
in a closed jar for a few minutes,
an odor of wintergreen can be
detected. The color and odor of
the inner bark of dying trees are
specific symtoms.
