Youth And
Alcoholism ,
Does your child follow ' the
gang? Of course he does. All
young people want the approval
of their friends and most will
drink to win it, Girls as well as
boys 'become involved this ways
and drink or them is? it. greater”
peril than for boys.
Young people often drink as a
reaction 'from insecurity or a
sense o); inferiority.Even a bad
ease of acne may leadto drink.
And once drinking becomes a
habit the trend to alcoholism can
begin very early. Louth should
know that the age level of Cana-
da's alcoholics has changed
alarmingly. In 1942 40 percent
were under 40. Ten years later,
20 percent were under . 35. This
steady lowering of the 'alcoholic.
age so concerned the A,A, group
in Toronto at a recent convention
that they saw fit . to set up a
special youth section. It should
he stressed continihou'sly that as
yet no test has been devised to
show which "moderates" will be-
come "alcoholics". (adv't)

Dramatic Proof of Chevrolet's Success!
Just look around you ! On the highways, in the cities
and in all the towns and villages across the land —
everywhere it's Chevrolet. That's because, consistently,
more Chevrolet cars are sold than those of any other
manufacturer. And now, to a greater extent than
ever before, the 1955 Chevrolet is the favorite
of Canadians from coast to coast.
This Is Important To You!
Because Chevrolet builds so many more cars,
each one costs less to make. That's the simple, provable
effect of volume production. And this saving
is passed• on to you in the form of more value, and
more features for the money than you can get
;with any other car on the market, Check the extra
features you'get at no extra cost with Chevrolet
and see how much extra you would have to pay
kr them on other cars. You'll find it amounts to
hundreds of dollars. Then compare Chevrolet's price!
And you'll know for sure at least one reason why
so many more people buy Chevrolet year after year w-
especially this year.
