Alcoholism
Sir.—Why pity the alcoholic? He has so often an imaginary grievance, fails to overcome it, and punishes his wife and family. In fact, he is a very crafty being. A nice home is on the point of breaking up. as the wife has at last taken the law against him. He was given a home after the i last war, a grant for furniture, after seven years’ resiI dence and £2OO written off 'the mortgage. This surely is God's own country! A man who refuses to take treatment is a coward. The teen-age children wonder why he acts so, and they may now lose their home. What a sorrow for these young folk! Friends of his kind he has many. Let him now find out their worth when he is alone.—Yours, etc., GRIEVED. February 9, 1966.
