EDITOR'S PAGE
The Grapevine Magazine is published with the purpose
of establishing a forum whereby important local issues may
be presented and appraised, pro and con, by local people.
This magazine will provide topics and space so that
local people may write in and express their opinions. Topics
for next month are on page 4. The staff will not discriminate,
in regard to the side a writer takes, when selecting articles
to be printed. We will try to print both sides of all issues.
The Grapevine staff will at all times try to recognize and
publish the facts without distortion. We will publish, but
not always support, many articles by people who write
in and disagree with individuals, groups, events, or institutions.
In addition to the forum, this magazine will specialize
in articles written by local professional people on topics
such as law, medicine, religion, fashion, education, foods,
business, sports, youth, and other areas of local interest.
Letters to the editor will be accepted and published
whenever space will allow. Letters of fewer than 150 words
will be given preference. All letters are subjected to condensation.

MAKING MURDER ILLEGAL
By Whitney M. Young, Jr.
1968 was a landmark year
in the history of American justice
-it was the first year that
no person was executed by
the state.
The fight against the legal
murder that is the death penalty
has been carried to the
Supreme Court, and the fate of
467 persons in death rows in
the prisons of America depends
on its decision.
The Court is being asked to
decide that the death penalty
constitutes unconstitutional
"cruel and unusual punishment,"
and that it violates the
rights of accused persons by
allowing juries to impose the
death sentence without rigid
standards for its use, and by
deciding guilt and punishment
at the same time.
There is no way that a civilized
society can condone the
death penalty, a barbaric custom
that makes the state a
legal murderer and legitamizes
violence.
Since 1940, 4,000 people
have been executed and the
majority have been Negroes.
Almost without exception, the
victims of the death penalty
have been poor.
The death penalty has historically
been a weapon used
against black people, often innocent
of any crime at all. Rape,
defined by many Southerners
as an "uppity" look in the eyes
of a black man, has often been
punished by the death penalty.
A black man in Alabama who
pleaded guilty to armed robbery
was sentenced to death
a few years ago.
Poor people and minority
groups in general cannot afford
the high-powered legal defense
that can prove their innocence
or convince juries and
judges to be lenient. The American
way of justice is highly
discriminatory, and in this most
awful of punishments, it has
been more biased than usual.
The main argument used by
those who still favor the death
penalty is that it deters potential
criminals. People who
otherwise might commit a
murder are supposed to be
stopped by the realization that
they might pay for it with their
lives.
The figures just don't support
this conclusion. Few murders
are premeditated; most
take place in the heat of the
moment, when people aren't
able to weigh the possible punishment.
Besides, what criminal
thinks he'll be caught?
The kind of unstable individual
who will commit a murder
isn't going to be influenced
by the penalty, except in a
negative way. One expert has
10
written:"People about to com-
mit murder do not rationally
weigh the act against the penalty.
On the other hand, some
individuals have unconscious
drives to place themselves in
positions where they will be
punished with utmost severity."
In other words, they kill so that
their own suicidal wishes will
be gratified.
The best way to determine
whether the death penalty actually
deters is by comparing
states with the penalty to similar
states that have abolished
it. No differences in the murder
rate have been found.
And if the death penalty is
supposed to deter, why hold
executions in secret? Why not
televise hangings in public
places if the intent is to scare
people from committing
crimes? The very secrecy indicated
that supporters of the
death penalty are guilty about it,
and see it as something bru-
tal and indecent.
If a man is imprisoned and
later found to be innocent, he
can be released. But no such
reprieve is available to an executed
man. One study of people
who were executed or imprisoned
for life found that ten
percent were later found to
have been innocent.
We hear so much about violence
and the need for a more
humane society. Private violence
is encouraged by the
kind of public violence that lets
the state strap a man in an electric
chair or puts him in a gas
chamber.
The death penalty is an ugly
leftover from the irrational
past, and the sooner it is abolished,
the closer we will come
to being a society that respects
life and turns its back on
violence.

TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the
year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every
day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities, no doubt, crept in. Forget them as
soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and
serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old
nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

the
man
who
never
made
a
mistake
A great number of
otherwise well-qualified
men never seem to rise
above a certain level.
They seem to have a
deathly fear of ever
being wrong.
They never want to
make a decision because
they never want to make
a mistake.
If it is your goal in life
to be known to your
associates as the man
who never made a
mistake, then be
prepared to be known
also as the man who
never accomplished
very much.
Today, make a few
decisions of your own.
They may be right or
they may be wrong.
But you made them and
tomorrow
you may find
that your decisions
are easier to make,
and are more often
right than wrong.

MARIJUANA AND DANGEROUS PILLS
Grapevine Magazine in the interest
of public service publishes this
article so that the local people may
know the most reliable information
that is compiled to this date on the
topic of dangerous pills and marijuana.
The material below appears in the
pamphlet "No Secret" and most of
the information was prepared by
the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control
of the Food and Drug Administration
of the U.S. Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare.
MARIJUANA (Marihuana)
Identification of Marijuana
Marijuana is usually in the
form of a crushed mixture of
leaves and flowering tops of a
plant known as Cannabis
sativa. It is usually rolled into
a homemade cigarette and frequently
contains "rough material"
such as seeds and stems.
Marijuana is commonly spoken
of as pot, grass, tea, weed,
stuff, reefers, or sticks.
Abuse
The physiological and psychological
effects resulting
from the use of marijuana as
given in the 1965 report on
drug dependence of the World
Health Organization are many.
Physiological effects include:
- ataxia (inability to coordinate
movements)
- lowering amounts of glucose
in blood
- lowering of over-all temperature
- increased appetite and
desire for sweets
- inflammation of mucous
membranes
Some of the subjective ef-
fects of marijuana are:
- hilarity
- carelessness
- distortion of sensation and
perception
- impairment of judgment
and memory
- irritability and confusion
Dependence
The use of marijuana may
develop a psychological dependence.
Because so many
users of narcotics report previous
use of marijuana, concern
should be given not only
18
to the habit forming use of
marijuana but also to the serious
possibility that it will
serve as a stepping stone to
more serious drug addiction.
STIMULANTS
Amphetamines -"Pep Pills"
This group of drugs, which
includes the amphetamines,
directly stimulates the central
nervous system.
Identification of Amphetamines
Amphetamines are know to
drug abusers as pep pills,
wake-ups, eye-openers, copilots,
truck drivers, or bennies.
As with other dangerous
drugs, the slang names applied
to them by abusers are frequently
derived from the
shapes and colors of capsules
and tablets, their effects, or
their use.
Abuse
Because the body develops
a tolerance to amphetamines,
abusers increase their dosage
gradually, a factor which exag-
gerates the normal effects of
these drugs and results in:
-excitability
-tremor of the hands
-talkativeness
-restlessness
-enlarged pupils
-sleeplessness
-heavy perspiration
Continued abuse of amphe-
tamines can cause:
- high blood pressuse
- abnormal heart rhythms
- heart attacks
- suicidal attempts
In serious cases, there is a
drug psychosis resembling schizophrenia,
delusions and and
hallucinations, both auditory
and visual. An added danger
occurs when amphetamines are
taken by long-distance drivers
to ward off sleep, for they are
unaware of their fatigue until
it overcomes them and possibly
causes a serious accident on the
highway.
Dependence
The use of amphetamines
may develop a psychological
dependence. Amphetamines
also may cause unacceptable
sensitivity to other medication
so that indicated treatment of
the amphetamine user may be
unsafe.
DEPRESSANTS
Barbituarates - Sedatives,
Sleeping Pills
Identification of Barbiturates
Barbiturates are known to
drug abusers as barbs, candy,
goofballs, sleeping pills, or peanuts.
Specific types are often
named after ther color or
shape. For example, solid yellow
capsules are known to
abusers as yellows, yellow
jackets or nimbles. Red cap
19
sules are called reds, pinks, red
birds, red devils, seggy, and
seccy. Red and blue capsules
are known as rainbows, red
and blues, or double trouble.
Solid blue capsules are known
by abusers as blues, blue birds,
blue devils, or blue heavens.
Abuse
Continued and excessive
dosages of barbiturates result
in:
-slurred speech
-staggering
-loss of balance and falling
-quick temper
-a quarrelsome disposition
-coma (with danger of pneumonia
and death)
Overdose, particularly when
taken in conjunction with alcohol,
may result in unconsciousness
and death, unless proper
medical treatment is given.
Statistics on deaths show that
more people die as a result of
barbiturate poisoning than
from any other kind of poison.
Dependence
The use of barbiturates may
develop a physical dependence.
Such dependence does
not usually develop from dosages
normally used in medical
practice.
Withdrawal symptoms usually
are far more dangerous
than those resulting from narcotics
withdrawal.

MEDICINE
WAYS TO CUT YOUR MEDICAL BILL
Although medical care cost
more than it did ten years ago,
and it's still rising, there are
ways to cut medical cost and
yet maintain the quality of care
received.
Having a family doctor and
discussing fees with him in ad-
vance is the most important
bill-cutting alley. Since he has
your medical history, some
costly tests won't have to be
repeated when ill. He also con-
trols much of your other medi-
cal spending which can save
you money.
A list of general practitioners
or internists are available at
the local medical society, hos-
pital or medical school nearby.
Their training, length of practice,
professional accomplish-
ments and fees should be com-
pared before choosing.
Your family doctor can some
times advise you over the
phone for minor health prob-
lems which saves time and ex-
pense of office calls. House
calls are more expensive and
should be in the doctors judge-
ment.
The doctor's advice would
probably cost less than the
"miraculous" or "secret" new
cures and drugs. He can also
prescribe less expensive drugs
with the equivalent of the
brand names.
Other ways to cut expenses
is to buy adequate medical
insurance such as Blue Shield
or major medical. You can save
money on group policies.
But the best way to save
money is to use the free health
services available in the com-
munities public health depart-
ment and following good
health habits giving your doc-
tor a chance to head off emer-
gencies.
FACTS
• After graduation 40 per cent
of Bullard High School stu-
dents go to a 4 year college.
• Male drivers have two and
one-half times as many acci-
dents as female drivers.
• Columbia, Carver, Franklin,
and Lincoln Elementary
Schools have an average of
99% of minority students.

BUSINESS
SHOULD YOU INVEST IN LAND?
Due to the fact that land
can't be manufactured, and the
population continues to in-
crease, the demand for land
continues to increase. This is
especially true in the warmer
climates such as in California
and Florida.
Over a million homes and
apartments are built each year
to house the growing popula-
tion. By the year 1980 con-
struction may double to accom-
modate the increase in popula-
tion expected to reach 350 mil-
lion by the year 2000.
Some of the advantages of
land investments is the con-
tinuous rise in prices, leverage,
tax on sales, prepaid interests
and its hedge against inflation.
During the past two decades
land costs have tripled, yet
only 20% to 25% down pay-
ment is necessary for purchase,
compared with a minimum of
80% to buy stock.
The tax on sales of property
can be reduced by using the
installment sale if the owner
receives less than 30% down
payment in the year of sale.
Also, if the seller accepts pre-
paid interest, land can be pur-
chased with money that nor-
mally goes to income tax. The
well selected land increasing
value would keep your invest-
ment way ahead of inflation.
With all the advantage and
profits of investing in land,
not all land increases in value.
Among the many things that
hold the value of property
down and should be known
when selecting land are geo-
logical problems such as drain-
age or water supply, and legal
aspects such as zoning and the
existence of easements.
For the small investor, it
it must be remembered that it
may take years before the
value increases. During periods
when the value levels off or
slumps he must be able to
wait out the slump, when wise
to do so. These are some rea-
sons why it is wise for the
small investor or small invest-
ment groups to seek help from
an expert to select, protect and
promote the investment.

The Grapevine Magazine is published with the purpose
of establishing a forum whereby important local issues may
be presented and appraised, pro and con, by local people.
This magazine will provide topics and space so that
local people may write in and express their opinions. Topics
for next month are on page 4. The staff will not discriminate,
in regard to the side a writer takes, when selecting articles
to be printed. We will try to print both sides of all issues.
The Grapevine staff will at all times try to recognize and
publish the facts without distortion. We will publish, but
not always support, many articles by people who write
in and disagree with individuals, groups, events, or institutions.
In addition to the forum, this magazine will specialize
in articles written by local professional people on topics
such as law, medicine, religion, fashion, education, foods,
business, sports, youth, and other areas of local interest.
Letters to the editor will be accepted and published
whenever space will allow. Letters of fewer than 150 words
will be given preference. All letters are subjected to condensation.

MAKING MURDER ILLEGAL
By Whitney M. Young, Jr.
1968 was a landmark year
in the history of American justice
-it was the first year that
no person was executed by
the state.
The fight against the legal
murder that is the death penalty
has been carried to the
Supreme Court, and the fate of
467 persons in death rows in
the prisons of America depends
on its decision.
The Court is being asked to
decide that the death penalty
constitutes unconstitutional
"cruel and unusual punishment,"
and that it violates the
rights of accused persons by
allowing juries to impose the
death sentence without rigid
standards for its use, and by
deciding guilt and punishment
at the same time.
There is no way that a civilized
society can condone the
death penalty, a barbaric custom
that makes the state a
legal murderer and legitamizes
violence.
Since 1940, 4,000 people
have been executed and the
majority have been Negroes.
Almost without exception, the
victims of the death penalty
have been poor.
The death penalty has historically
been a weapon used
against black people, often innocent
of any crime at all. Rape,
defined by many Southerners
as an "uppity" look in the eyes
of a black man, has often been
punished by the death penalty.
A black man in Alabama who
pleaded guilty to armed robbery
was sentenced to death
a few years ago.
Poor people and minority
groups in general cannot afford
the high-powered legal defense
that can prove their innocence
or convince juries and
judges to be lenient. The American
way of justice is highly
discriminatory, and in this most
awful of punishments, it has
been more biased than usual.
The main argument used by
those who still favor the death
penalty is that it deters potential
criminals. People who
otherwise might commit a
murder are supposed to be
stopped by the realization that
they might pay for it with their
lives.
The figures just don't support
this conclusion. Few murders
are premeditated; most
take place in the heat of the
moment, when people aren't
able to weigh the possible punishment.
Besides, what criminal
thinks he'll be caught?
The kind of unstable individual
who will commit a murder
isn't going to be influenced
by the penalty, except in a
negative way. One expert has
10
written:"People about to com-
mit murder do not rationally
weigh the act against the penalty.
On the other hand, some
individuals have unconscious
drives to place themselves in
positions where they will be
punished with utmost severity."
In other words, they kill so that
their own suicidal wishes will
be gratified.
The best way to determine
whether the death penalty actually
deters is by comparing
states with the penalty to similar
states that have abolished
it. No differences in the murder
rate have been found.
And if the death penalty is
supposed to deter, why hold
executions in secret? Why not
televise hangings in public
places if the intent is to scare
people from committing
crimes? The very secrecy indicated
that supporters of the
death penalty are guilty about it,
and see it as something bru-
tal and indecent.
If a man is imprisoned and
later found to be innocent, he
can be released. But no such
reprieve is available to an executed
man. One study of people
who were executed or imprisoned
for life found that ten
percent were later found to
have been innocent.
We hear so much about violence
and the need for a more
humane society. Private violence
is encouraged by the
kind of public violence that lets
the state strap a man in an electric
chair or puts him in a gas
chamber.
The death penalty is an ugly
leftover from the irrational
past, and the sooner it is abolished,
the closer we will come
to being a society that respects
life and turns its back on
violence.

TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the
year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every
day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities, no doubt, crept in. Forget them as
soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and
serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old
nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

the
man
who
never
made
a
mistake
A great number of
otherwise well-qualified
men never seem to rise
above a certain level.
They seem to have a
deathly fear of ever
being wrong.
They never want to
make a decision because
they never want to make
a mistake.
If it is your goal in life
to be known to your
associates as the man
who never made a
mistake, then be
prepared to be known
also as the man who
never accomplished
very much.
Today, make a few
decisions of your own.
They may be right or
they may be wrong.
But you made them and
tomorrow
you may find
that your decisions
are easier to make,
and are more often
right than wrong.

MARIJUANA AND DANGEROUS PILLS
Grapevine Magazine in the interest
of public service publishes this
article so that the local people may
know the most reliable information
that is compiled to this date on the
topic of dangerous pills and marijuana.
The material below appears in the
pamphlet "No Secret" and most of
the information was prepared by
the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control
of the Food and Drug Administration
of the U.S. Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare.
MARIJUANA (Marihuana)
Identification of Marijuana
Marijuana is usually in the
form of a crushed mixture of
leaves and flowering tops of a
plant known as Cannabis
sativa. It is usually rolled into
a homemade cigarette and frequently
contains "rough material"
such as seeds and stems.
Marijuana is commonly spoken
of as pot, grass, tea, weed,
stuff, reefers, or sticks.
Abuse
The physiological and psychological
effects resulting
from the use of marijuana as
given in the 1965 report on
drug dependence of the World
Health Organization are many.
Physiological effects include:
- ataxia (inability to coordinate
movements)
- lowering amounts of glucose
in blood
- lowering of over-all temperature
- increased appetite and
desire for sweets
- inflammation of mucous
membranes
Some of the subjective ef-
fects of marijuana are:
- hilarity
- carelessness
- distortion of sensation and
perception
- impairment of judgment
and memory
- irritability and confusion
Dependence
The use of marijuana may
develop a psychological dependence.
Because so many
users of narcotics report previous
use of marijuana, concern
should be given not only
18
to the habit forming use of
marijuana but also to the serious
possibility that it will
serve as a stepping stone to
more serious drug addiction.
STIMULANTS
Amphetamines -"Pep Pills"
This group of drugs, which
includes the amphetamines,
directly stimulates the central
nervous system.
Identification of Amphetamines
Amphetamines are know to
drug abusers as pep pills,
wake-ups, eye-openers, copilots,
truck drivers, or bennies.
As with other dangerous
drugs, the slang names applied
to them by abusers are frequently
derived from the
shapes and colors of capsules
and tablets, their effects, or
their use.
Abuse
Because the body develops
a tolerance to amphetamines,
abusers increase their dosage
gradually, a factor which exag-
gerates the normal effects of
these drugs and results in:
-excitability
-tremor of the hands
-talkativeness
-restlessness
-enlarged pupils
-sleeplessness
-heavy perspiration
Continued abuse of amphe-
tamines can cause:
- high blood pressuse
- abnormal heart rhythms
- heart attacks
- suicidal attempts
In serious cases, there is a
drug psychosis resembling schizophrenia,
delusions and and
hallucinations, both auditory
and visual. An added danger
occurs when amphetamines are
taken by long-distance drivers
to ward off sleep, for they are
unaware of their fatigue until
it overcomes them and possibly
causes a serious accident on the
highway.
Dependence
The use of amphetamines
may develop a psychological
dependence. Amphetamines
also may cause unacceptable
sensitivity to other medication
so that indicated treatment of
the amphetamine user may be
unsafe.
DEPRESSANTS
Barbituarates - Sedatives,
Sleeping Pills
Identification of Barbiturates
Barbiturates are known to
drug abusers as barbs, candy,
goofballs, sleeping pills, or peanuts.
Specific types are often
named after ther color or
shape. For example, solid yellow
capsules are known to
abusers as yellows, yellow
jackets or nimbles. Red cap
19
sules are called reds, pinks, red
birds, red devils, seggy, and
seccy. Red and blue capsules
are known as rainbows, red
and blues, or double trouble.
Solid blue capsules are known
by abusers as blues, blue birds,
blue devils, or blue heavens.
Abuse
Continued and excessive
dosages of barbiturates result
in:
-slurred speech
-staggering
-loss of balance and falling
-quick temper
-a quarrelsome disposition
-coma (with danger of pneumonia
and death)
Overdose, particularly when
taken in conjunction with alcohol,
may result in unconsciousness
and death, unless proper
medical treatment is given.
Statistics on deaths show that
more people die as a result of
barbiturate poisoning than
from any other kind of poison.
Dependence
The use of barbiturates may
develop a physical dependence.
Such dependence does
not usually develop from dosages
normally used in medical
practice.
Withdrawal symptoms usually
are far more dangerous
than those resulting from narcotics
withdrawal.

MEDICINE
WAYS TO CUT YOUR MEDICAL BILL
Although medical care cost
more than it did ten years ago,
and it's still rising, there are
ways to cut medical cost and
yet maintain the quality of care
received.
Having a family doctor and
discussing fees with him in ad-
vance is the most important
bill-cutting alley. Since he has
your medical history, some
costly tests won't have to be
repeated when ill. He also con-
trols much of your other medi-
cal spending which can save
you money.
A list of general practitioners
or internists are available at
the local medical society, hos-
pital or medical school nearby.
Their training, length of practice,
professional accomplish-
ments and fees should be com-
pared before choosing.
Your family doctor can some
times advise you over the
phone for minor health prob-
lems which saves time and ex-
pense of office calls. House
calls are more expensive and
should be in the doctors judge-
ment.
The doctor's advice would
probably cost less than the
"miraculous" or "secret" new
cures and drugs. He can also
prescribe less expensive drugs
with the equivalent of the
brand names.
Other ways to cut expenses
is to buy adequate medical
insurance such as Blue Shield
or major medical. You can save
money on group policies.
But the best way to save
money is to use the free health
services available in the com-
munities public health depart-
ment and following good
health habits giving your doc-
tor a chance to head off emer-
gencies.
FACTS
• After graduation 40 per cent
of Bullard High School stu-
dents go to a 4 year college.
• Male drivers have two and
one-half times as many acci-
dents as female drivers.
• Columbia, Carver, Franklin,
and Lincoln Elementary
Schools have an average of
99% of minority students.

BUSINESS
SHOULD YOU INVEST IN LAND?
Due to the fact that land
can't be manufactured, and the
population continues to in-
crease, the demand for land
continues to increase. This is
especially true in the warmer
climates such as in California
and Florida.
Over a million homes and
apartments are built each year
to house the growing popula-
tion. By the year 1980 con-
struction may double to accom-
modate the increase in popula-
tion expected to reach 350 mil-
lion by the year 2000.
Some of the advantages of
land investments is the con-
tinuous rise in prices, leverage,
tax on sales, prepaid interests
and its hedge against inflation.
During the past two decades
land costs have tripled, yet
only 20% to 25% down pay-
ment is necessary for purchase,
compared with a minimum of
80% to buy stock.
The tax on sales of property
can be reduced by using the
installment sale if the owner
receives less than 30% down
payment in the year of sale.
Also, if the seller accepts pre-
paid interest, land can be pur-
chased with money that nor-
mally goes to income tax. The
well selected land increasing
value would keep your invest-
ment way ahead of inflation.
With all the advantage and
profits of investing in land,
not all land increases in value.
Among the many things that
hold the value of property
down and should be known
when selecting land are geo-
logical problems such as drain-
age or water supply, and legal
aspects such as zoning and the
existence of easements.
For the small investor, it
it must be remembered that it
may take years before the
value increases. During periods
when the value levels off or
slumps he must be able to
wait out the slump, when wise
to do so. These are some rea-
sons why it is wise for the
small investor or small invest-
ment groups to seek help from
an expert to select, protect and
promote the investment.
