Over the years many people have commented that it must be difficult to write an article for the paper week after week. The articles really aren’t dif­ ficult to write but there are a couple of stumbling blocks. The first is to get an idea and the second is to get started. I’ve been told that the way to get started is to get the paper laid out, nicely on the desk. , Then you take the. pen firmly in your hand and write the word- .“The” at the first of the top line. I’m giving it a try. The, trend today is to relaxa­ tion, fun, sport—pleasure and drinking seems to be the best ■means to this end. ' Just today a minister was pointing out the high cost of “coke” necessary to bring a teenager to manhood. And there is the “coffee-break". Of course if you really want to get the most ouit of life and enjoy yourself to the “full" you must partake of one of the won­ derful brands of alcoholic bev­ erages. You really must! All the wonderful TV advertise­ ments insist there is no alterna­ tive. The contrast of a large group of young people on “Singtime" last Sunday questioning the ad­ visability of “drinking" was most encouraging. These young people had been delegates, from various com­ munities to the Toe-Alpha Con­ ference at Niagara, Falls at the end of December. This organization does not tell the young people to. drink or not to drink. It is an education­ al program that shows facts about alcohol, what, it will do, what it will not do. The de­ cision for or against is up to each' individual. The organiza­ tion is growing in strength but finances are a problem. (If you are interested in helping, the members are selling shares — $1. each). It is really a donation but it does give you a share in the welfare of our youth. It is a small reinforceanent to Our youth so that they may with­ stand the tremendous pressure that is being placed on them by the powerful liquor-interests. I can’t help wondering just how powerful these forces are. I have been sadly disillu­ sioned on many occasions by the appearance of leading entertain­ ers in liquor advertisements. I’ll only mention three of our outstanding Canadian singers. The first is Shirley Harmer. I used to enjoy her singing after the hockey games a few year's ago. I still hear her occasionally during the hockey gamete but now its a “beer” commercial. The second is Robert Goulet. He was a very attractive sling­ er, won his way to the top of the ladder and appears more or less regularly on “Hockey Night in Canada” for the “beer" spon­ sor. The third — and it came as quite a shock — is “Juliette" appearing on the “beer” bit this year. Some time ago I read an in­ teresting account of “Juliette" in one of the magazines. She was portrayed 'as a wholesome, attractive and talented person­ ality. She is happily married with a family and I believe her husband is quite financially in­ dependent. Why is she promot­ ing the sale of beer? Can we believe that these people feel that the well-being of mankind will be improved by drinking alcoholic beverages? Will they feel guiltless if one of their children or mine becomes a helpless alcoholic ' on skid­ row? Will’the money they receive compensate them for the dam­ aged lives that result? Maybe there isn’t much they can do, but it seems1 to me if we can’t help, at least we shouldn’t hinder our fellOw- man. LONDESBORO Day of Prayer The OGIT have invited all UCW members to join with them in their World Day of Prayer Service on Friday at 8 p.m. Mrs. A. J.
