Dr. Rodney hati advice for teenagers who drink or whose friends drink: Stick, to one drink an hour if you must drink, (An ounce and a half of hum, a five ounce glass of wine or a 12 ounce bottle, of 'beer are roughly equivalent in 'alcoholic content.) Mahe sure you eat, greasy foods and milk are ideas while, ou're drinking. Water is not A good mixer; it speeds up the absorption of alcohol.) Measure, yeur drinks; pace your- self. Stop drinking well. before you drive and give the alcohol a' chance to get out of your system. If you notice that friends are drinking too much, Dr. Rodney suggested distracting them with dancing. coversation "or coffee. We can all change attitude to alcohol and condemn it as a measure of acceptance. he said. "Say no to that free drink on your 19th birthday.' Dr. Rodney seconded a suggestion to Chief Claus, that a local service club donate .a roadside breathalizer u to the Seaforth police. The chief had e 41ained that the police have no authority to take a youngster they suspect has been g off the road. • "Parents, don't ask us to d what we're not allowed Agreeing there are no t laws which would allow a young driver off the roe in Ontario police to keep .

Turn down Bell boiler BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE CLINTON: The Huron County Board of Education accepted a tender 'from SlaUght Ltd. of Crediton to install an Arriblican made York-Shipley boiler al a cost of S34.611 in Seaforth's high school at its regular meeting Thursday. "We. feel that the installation of the American-made boiler in Seaforth District High School is a direct insult to the employees and management of Robert Bell Industries Ltd.." Charles Smith, the vice-president of the Canadian company located in Seaforth said yesterday (Tuesday). Mr. Smith added the local company feels the Board Woes not have "any concert of what industry means to a community." but declined to comment further in the light of legal action the firm is considering. The bid accepted by the Board was the lowest of seven tenders received. The recommendation to accept the tender was originally submitted to the board by the Management committee. but was reviewed by its executive committee after receiving a complaint from Bell Industries. The executive committee's report stated. "as a result of strong objections in the past from Bell IndustrieS Limited that one of its boilers was not used as the "base bid" for tendering of boiler replacement in Huron County schciols. the project engineer was instructed by this board's administrative staff to use a Bell Industries Limited boiler as the "baSe bid." The base bid is the item whose specifica- tions are used on the tender forms and must be equalled,or exceeded by a tenderer. This practice was followed for the boiler tenders. "The lOwest tender on the total project using both the "base bid" boiler and suggested alternatives was G.L.

Huron-Middlesex MliP Jack Riddell echoed these sentiments and said edikation is important for "growth and development and the production of wealth in this country!' Don McDonald. Chairman of the Huron County Board of Education, said graduates can "Make this land a little better to live in." About 45.000 in, awards and prizes were presented at the commencement.
