I could no better summarize what the Appeal for the North has done than in that remark. It isn't a matter of giving a bonus to heroes or baiting a trap of recruitment with dollars. It isn't a matter of paying for frozen toes, or paying by the foot for a hundred yard dash to the outhouse. It is simply a matter of survival, both physical and spiritual in the wonderful land of Northern Canada. It is the ability to "afford it" and the -`-`getting out" once in a while that makes all the ifference... and.. this is the effect of the Appeal for the North. "It is a hard land... one of extremes. The 50 degree below and 90 above toboggan slide of temperature keeps your body thermostat on its toes. The water problem at times makes you want to question the wording of the Benedicite "0 Ye waters ...bless ye the Lord"! • A• "It comes at you like the waves lapping at Arat in the spring of the 'year .and you chop for an hour to get a drop of it in winter... and once you've got it you can't get rid of it. Northern plumbing defies the ingenuity of marc{'. "It's -the land of small islands of population surrounded by the vast sea of bush and tundran, where a new face is an occasion for a festival and the voice of, a stranger is as the voice of a harp."

Bluebirds now leaving It's always nice to receive a note from Harvey MacDougall, chairman of the Bayfield and Area Bluebird Society telling us of the ac- tivities of the ,bluebirds and 'the following is one he handed us on the weekend. There are a few bluebirds around Bayfield yet but they will be leaving for the south any day now. Jan and Ted Gozzard had the pleasure recently. of watching from 'their kitchen window, a family of seven stripping the berries from their dogwood bush just outside the house. Others who have reported bluebirds around . their Bayfield homes have been Margaret and ,.Joe Mayman and Glen and Donelda Sturgeon. The Bayfield Area Bluebird Society was disappointed in 1977 nestings, not too sur- prising in view of estimates that one-third of the bluebirds wintering in Central United States perished from hunger and cold in January. But the Bayfield group hope for better results next year. They will be looking for the first bluebird arrivals very early in the spring slightly ahead of the robins.

You're asking Why "wine and liquor lists do not include a list of non-alcoholic drinks"... why "alternative non- alcoholic,punches punches aren't offered at parties... why "people are always trk,rrigIO spike' your drinks" ...why "if a drunk getsbehind the wheel of a car and his wife reports him, nothing is done — she is a trouble -maker — unless he kills someone." You're concerned "Society makes you feel like a freak if you don't drink"..."the You're talking about the problems of alcohol in everyday life — and that's bringing them into the open. You've written in from coast to coast in response to 'Dialogue on drinking' to share your suggestions, experiences and reactions. It's clear that responsible citizens - drinkers, non-drinkers, social drinkers, ex -drinkers, teenagers, grandparents, social workers, students — are concemed about Canada's alcohol problems. All agree there is a crying need for moderation along with more information and education on alcohol-related problems and some feel there is a need for a change in attitude because "often more tolerance is shown to the drunk than the non-drinker," even though responsible drinkers and non-drinkers are in the majority. message constantly screeched on TV is you have to drink"..: "25 glossy liquor ads ran in the same issue of the magazine as your black and white ad showing the other side"... "the macho image requires that a real `he-man' be a hard -drinking hero." You're pointing out "In many small towns in Canada the only social activity is to go down to the local hotel for a few drinks"... "I'd rather sit next to a smoker on an aircraft than next to a drunk but I don't see any non - 9 drinking sections"... "I am not advising absolute abstinence but am absolutely convinced of the immorality of permitting oneself to become so intoxicated that one inflicts harm on others." You're suggesting "A series of radio or TV programs showing realistically what happens when a person drinks too much" .-.."bans or controls on advertising" ... "very severe penalties for im- paired drivers"... "courses for senior girls intent on marrying young on handling the situation of a drunk husband." And...you're doing! In Ontario, the Thunder Bay Committee for 'Dialogue on drinking' is well on its way... in Nova Scotia, local committees have joined with service clubs to - discuss with hundreds of people, alcohol and its impact on the community... in Rothesay, New Brunswick, 40 Knights of Colum- bus have asked- hove they can help in northern Manitoba, 'Dialogue' posters are appearing everywhere — even in the hotel washrooms...Medicine Hat, b Alberta, has its Alcohol in the Community Program ...and in Vancouver, teenagers petitioned against opening two liquor stores because some of their friends had been killed by drunk drivers. Now, we're'talkingi We're talking about the problems alcohol can cause ...but better, we're doing something about them together ...and because of your efforts, a more responsible attitude to drinking is emerging. "I see my own and my peers' attitudes changing. Instead of bragging how drunk we got on a particular night, we are more apt to take pride in being able to control our consumption at a reasonable level." And that, after all is what 'Dialogue on drinking' is all about - it's a program to help you talk about and do somethingabout drinking problems. We'like to hear more from you.
