Report on 'Toc Alpha'
YOUTH AN
By ROBERT SCHROEDER
Robert Schroeder, son of
Mr, and Mrs. John Schroe-
der, Exeter, and Bonnie
Doerr, Exeter, were among
260 youth from Ontario who
attended the Toc Alpha Con-
ference in Toronto during the
Christmas vacation, The con-
ference is sponsored by the
Ontario Temperance Federa-
tion,
'The purpose of Toc Alpha
was to educate the delegates
about the hazards of drinking,
Essentially, this is how the two
words "Toe Alpha" are ob.
tained, The motto of Toc Alpha
is to "Teach our Canadians to
assess liquor by presenting the
hazards of alcohol".
The idea of the conference
was conceived by Royal. Moul-
ton back in 1957, Mr, Moulton
was secretary of the Ontario
Temperance Federation and it
was he, along with a few
others, who began the first
conference.
This year's conference was
held in Central YMCA, and our
first address was given by
Judy Casselton, president of
Toc Alpha. She outlined the
purpose of the conference,
which was to convey factual
scientific information on the
alcohol problem; to offer a bet-
ter understanding through per-
sonal observation of the social
implications of alcohol; and to
provide a fellowship through
recreation and social activi-
ties.
Study the problem
The day after our arrival in
Toronto, we began our real
study of the alcohol problem.
Dr. R. Gordon Bell, founder
and executive director of the
13e11 Clinic, Willowdale, spoke
on s o in e basic information
about alcohol and its effect on
the human body. He said that
the reason why most people
drink is because of the wet -
come effect from alcohol. If a
person is moody and depress-
ed, alcohol dulls the working
of the brain and thus a person
forgets or loses his tensions
and depressions, Due to this
welcome effect, people begin
drinking m excess.
This is because alcohol Jia
very little toxicity or poison
ous quality that will determin
when a person should sto
drinking. Since it is non
poisonous, a person can drinl
as much as he likes until h
blacks out. Repeated use o
alcohol will, of course, lead t
alcoholism,
LC H L
s our representative in corneal•
• tion at the 1960 Olympics,
1
e , She stated that athletes and
p sportsmen who pose for liquor
- ads are dishonest because they
c are linking their name with a
e product that is directly detri.
f mental to their sport,
o Threat fa society
Dr. George Scott, psychiat•
rist at Kingston Penitentiary
spoke on the "psychologica
and social threat of alcohol t
society". He stated that alcoho
. .
a community Le are linke
- together and that alcohol is al
ways present in social life,
1)r. Scott also discussed th
alcoholic, of which there ar
80,000 in Ontario—double th
number there were in 1946. II
said that the alcoholic believes
he has no trouble with alcohol,
i
but finally he has to admit
! that he needs help from some -
1 one greater than himself and
jso •turns to God.
1 The psychiatrist also discuss-
ed the phases of alcohol. One
is that it is unnecessary to a
, contented person; it has no
permanent good; it is a killer
on our highways.
• In our discussion group to
study the personality of the
alcoholic, we found that this
personis self-centred, shuns
people has an inferiority com-
plex, loses his goal in life and
loses contact with God.
Anxious uncertain!
Dr, Bell also outlined the
five steps in the effects of al
collo] on the human body. Step
one is tliat a person's ability
to learn is affected. The second
step is that movement is af
fected. In the third stage, pain
is reduced. The fourth step is
unconsciousness and the fifth
is death.
Dr, Bell outlined (he relation-
ship between man and alcohol
and why man drinks. One
phase where man is confront-
ed with alcohol is on the job,
where it is used as a nervous
system stimulant and a de-
pressive. Another instance
where man is confronted with
alcohol is a medical prescrip-
tion, butof course in this case
the dosage is determined by
the doctor.
"Smart" to drink
The third and most compel-
ling reason to drink lies in the
social customs of our modern
times. Our society has adopted
the idea that it is 'smart"
and the "right thing" to drink.
This is ithe greatest danger of
alcohol in the world today. 'As
long as society feels this way,
people will continue to drink
and do nothing about the al-
cohol problem.
In his second address, Dr,
Bell spoke about teenagers and
alcohol.. He said that over-
p'r 0 t e c don', over -pampering,
over -discipline and rejection
characterize f our childhood
situations which turn persons
to alcohol rather than :face the
reality of adult life. These
situations tend to make an in-
dividual turn from self-reliance
and in t er dep endence with
others to a dependence on
others.
One of the highlights of the
conference was an address by
Sara Barber, Brantford. Miss
Barber is the leading lady
swimmer in Canada, and was
had four things to say about
brewery and distillery adver-
tising, The first was that this
advertising is very high-pres-
sured. Secondly, the companies
take no responsibility in the
selling of alcohol. That is, they
do not mark on the bottles 1
what effect it will have on the
human body.
He concluded that this adver—
tising was dishonest and the
most serious of all, was that it
was expanding,
o On Thursday evening, we
I took a field trip to the Harbour
1 Light Alcoholic Clinic where,
atfer touring the premises, we 1
heard three men whom before
had been hopeless alcoholics,
`•„' hut who had turned to God and
„` thus were saved from the life
of alcohol.
e
On the final day of our con-
ference we heard an address
by Gordon Wright, director of
Ambulance
the physical and health branch,
Department of Education. He
stated that alcohol in any
stage fails to develop the fit-
ness of youth and that physical
activitiy is essential to our
well-being.
Prior to our departure, Dr.
Lorne Henry told the 260 dele-
gate S four things which they
could take home a nd tell
others. One was not to be taken
in by glamour of advertising;
the second was to refuse to
drink and smoke simply be-
cause others do; thirdly, be
careful about the way you
escape. responsibility, slieb,,,as
by means of alcohol; fourthly,
don't neglect the spiritual side
of life.

Later in the afternoon, Rev.
A. J. MacLachlan, personal
counselling chaplain in Ontario
Rospital, Hamilton, spoke on
"understanding the alcoholic".
He said that on the outside
alcoholics are friendly, like-
able people, but on the inside
they are anxious and uncertain.
They can't stand criticism, nor
can they stand alone and thus
they get angry with them-
selves and have to drown their
hostility toward themselves in
drink.
One of the most thought-
provoking lectures we heard
was given by Rev, Alan Mc -
Craig, •Orillia, on "advertising
and alcohol". He stated that
advertising alcohol is extreme-
ly dangerous because People do
not realize what it can do. He
