that alcohol abuse it a major concern -in this area. While

discussion was the tolerant attitude of 'patents towards the
abuse of *Owl -aid the wall of denial most parents raise
when Confronted • with a drag problem. .
As Dr. Donald killyefLucknow\poirits out there should be
rules in every.11ausehold. No drinking under age just as you
are not permitted to drive 444step:without a. licence. No
use of drugs will -be tolerated These -rules are difficult to

form of dope and abuse .aletiltel either by drinking too much
• to 'cope with stress or When' partying on weekends or by
.
drinking and driving.t.
-Members of the parielAin&-a teacher from the lca4
elementary school both identified the .problem of alcohol
abuse in our community as themost serious concern and all
O commented that the buse alcoherand drugs by children
and teenagers is a result of the children copying their
parents and adult. role Models.
Alcohol is • a legal drug and 'therefore it is important to
•teach the intelligentaise,of alcohol. Smekieg causes disease
and teaching our children that smoking is`clangerous to their
health is also important..

O MacLeod was as true as his wart
',. REDTREES
Within three days he rode his horsy '
a. slovik pace OR to the Irish camp •
ground to the west of Torc•ntoiltottboth - by Don Campbell
Man and Mount were weary aftertheir
long . joinney from Redtrees. ,The
newly arrived immigrants gathered
around him, anxious to hear what
new he brought, and Father O'Hare
and Dougherty were at the fore. f
have arranged everything,"
MacLeod told them. "And soon, you
wilt all be on your way to the Albion
Hills."
But there was still many prepara-
tions to be made. MacLeod checked all
the tools and supplies which had been
purchased by Father O'Hare in his
absence. He tallied these against the
bills of sale and made careful entries
in his account book.
"The doctor's wife, Jane Cameron,
was our angel of mercy," he explained
to Father O'Hare.' "The very least I
can do is to give her a proper reckon-
ing as "to how I have spent her
money."
There was one important item which
had been overlooked, and the next day
MacLeod went to the gunsmiths on
Front Street and purchased twenty
muskets, together with an ample
supply of powder ' and ball. These
firearms created a great deal of
interest amongst the children and not
a little concern to their mothers.
"The Cord save us Father," one of '
them said to O'Hare. " 'Tis true then
that there be wolves and bears in that
country into which we must be aft
•goiriet1r,
The good Father quickly reassu
them.. !Aye, tis . true that there b
welves and bears; but they will no
come looking for you if you do not g
1oqkiig for them: The story of wolv
*biding people is an old wives' tal
O and.be.ars will leave you alone if yo
do not pass between them and the
cubs. The muskets are for the shootin,
of gatne. ,Ycni. will need meat, and
the busli, a marksman need never g
O hungry,"
The hishmen had no use for tire
arms in their native land and fe
except Dougherty had any exPerien
in the of them. In this respect
army experience was invaluable, an
their new leader instructed all male
over the age of sixteen in priming
loading and firing the weapons.
