Against more
outlets for
beer, wine
Six hundred Ontario youth aged
1424 have sent a letter to members of
the Provincial Legislature asking
them to reject the proposal to extend
the sale of beet• and wine to grocery
,store outlets. These youth are
members of TOC ALPHA, (Taking
'On Concerns About Life, People and
Human Achievement), a positive
lifestyle organization, active in On-
tario for 30 years.
The letter expresses the concerns of
students for each other's wellbeing
and the fear that changing the way
beer and wine is sold in Ontario will
have negative consequences for
young people. Youth unemployment
• will increase because grocery stores
selling beer aq¢ wide will not employ
thdse vnho are tinder 49, destroying
one of the prime job markets.
Because Brewers Retail and LCBO
outlets sell only alcohol beverage pro-
ducts, they are proficient at recogniz-
ing and challening minors. A relaxa-
tion of this system could lead to easier
accessibility for young people and
studies by the Addication Research
Foundation of Ontario indicate that
consumption increases with
accessibility.
Underage drinking has had tragic
consequences for many young people,
particularly on the roads and
highways. Making alcoholic
.beverages more accessible is at cross
purposes with current campaigns
against drinking and drivjng.
TOC ALPHA is a long-standing
youth program of Alcohol and Drug
Concerns, Inc. which encourages and
supports young people in the develop-
ment of a healthy and positive
lifestyle. •

Mary's Musings
If imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery, then I should be very highly
flattered. I have a little midget of a
person who wants to imitate
everything I do.
/This miniature mimic is my
daughter, Chelsey. When she reach-
ed age 16 Months, she suddenly decid-
ed thatreverything that Mommy did
was interesting and exciting. She
wanted to copy my every action. At
the same time, she developed an
"everything you dan do I can do too"
attitude.
I became very aware of this syn-
drome last week, when I found her in
the bathroom with my cosmetic bag.
She was putting on lipstick, just as
Mommy does. Now, she knows that
lipstick goes on the lips, but her lips
are pretty small. The lipstick covered
her cheeks, nose and forehead. It also
covered her little hands. She know
that wasn't right, so she had tried to
wipe her hands off on her shirt and
pants. Her fingers were still quite red,
so she was busily wiping them on the
bathroom carpet when I walked in.
The sight of lipstick smeared over
the entire bathroom caused Mommy
to sit down on the floor and cry. Our
little mimic thought that was the
thing to do, so she immediately burst
into tears.
Not only does Chelsey like to copy
everything I do, but she also wants to
help. I cannot open the dishwasher,
without her little hands there to assist
in the loading and unloading. She is
always carting off glasses and china
and shoving them in the cupboards.
I am apt to find a jtrjce glass among
my pots and pans, or silverware mix-
ed with the Tupperware.
She is also quite willing to help out
with the laundry at any time. We take
the dirty laundry and sort it into
baskets, and then later we fold the
clean laundry and put it back in the
drawers. The other day, Chelsey was
being a big help sorting the dirty laun-
dry, when she decided to bypass the
washing. She picked up a pair of dir-
ty socks, folded them, and then open-
ed the dresser drawer and shoved
them in. Then she looked at me as if
to say, "Isn't that the way it's done,
Mom?"
Toys sit idly by, as she plays with
whatever Mom happens to be doing.
If Mom is stirring something on the
stove, Chelsey has to be standing on
a chair, spoon in hand, stirring an im-
aginary substance in a pot on the
counter.
On other occasions, toys will
substitute for the real thing. If the
telephone rings, Chelsey will run and
get her toy telephone. While Mom is
t
By Mary Alderson
talking on the real telephone, Chelsey
will earnestly be carrying on a con-
versation in Chinese on her toy
telephone.
But lest my ego become too inflated
with all this flattering imitation, I saw
yesterday that she will copy her Dad-
• dy, too. Dadwas taking a few minutes -
between rain storms'to mow the lawn.
I sent Chelsey outside to watch him.
It wasn't long before Chelsey was
pushing her toy lawnmower along the
grass right, behind her Dad.
