Mrs. C.E. Schultz welcomed members of Seminole branch, American Association of University Women, to her home for a program on “Use of Drugs in Our Community.” Associate District Judge Frank Howell Seay was guest speaker.

Mrs. JoDean Brown, program chairman, introcuced the speaker. Judge Seay pointed out that, “We do have a drug problem in our county. It is a serious problem. Some of the questions Judge Seay posed were: “What is causing the problem? What is the reason for turning to drugs? Are they just using light drugs or are they moving to the harder types such as LSD? How many are using drugs? Do we educate, prosecute, or ignore the problem?

“We do not have enough knowledge about drugs. We must not panic and we must realize that this is a community problem and a proper educational program should be presented.”
