has increased sharply.
These are among the find
ings cited in the annual report of
the National Institute for Drug
Abuse which was presented to a
Senate health services subcom
mittee Wednesday by Dr. Wil
liam Mayer of the Public Health
Service.
Mayer said the report shows
signs of progress but cautioned
young Americans have the high
est levels of drug abuse of any
country in the industrialized
world. “Much work remains to
be done,” he said.
The report revealed that for
the third straight year, the daily
use of marijuana has declined
significantly — from 11 percent
in 1978 to a level of 7 percent in
1981.
Mayer said the survey, con
ducted by University of Michi
gan researchers, found there
was also a drop in the use of
cigarettes, PCP, certain in
halants and tranquilizers.
The use of alcohol, cocaine,
heroin, barbiturates and LSD
remained about the same level
as the previous year.
Mayer said the Michigan re
searchers credited the decline in
marijuana smoking to an in
crease in the seniors’ awareness
of the health risks of marijuana
and to a decrease in perceived
peer acceptance.
He saicf NIDA, the states and
local communities have empha
sized the health consequences of
marijuana and added: “We may
now be beginning to harvest the
fruit of these prevention efforts.
While we are encouraged by an
overall downward trend, we
must not lose sight of the fact
that the usage of some drugs,
which as not as widely used as
marijuana, has gone up.”

ST. LOUIS — A toothless
white-tailed buck, that defied
hunters and died of old age,
smashed a 90-year-old record
for the largest non-symmetrical
antler rack recorded in the
world.
The 250-pound deer was
found dead in St. Louis County
Nov. 15, apparently of natural
causes. The rack scored 325%
points for a non-typical deer on
the complicated Boone and
Crockett measuring scale, shat
tering the record from Texas
that had stood since 1892 at 286
points.
The record rack, measured
this week, goes into the books as
a deer “not taken by a hunter.”
An official Boone and Crockett
score will be determined J
panel of judges in March Iff
