Drinking and driving show
One of the most ambitious research pro-
jects investigating drinking and driving will
be aired Dec. 3 on CTV across the nation to
share the results of the Red Deer Challenge.
The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC),
the national association of property, casual-
ty and automobile insurance companies, re-
tained the services of Jack McGaw, a
veteran CTV television host and producer,
to develop a series of programs aimed at
reducing the numbers of people injured or
killed by drinking drivers.
His last effort for the IBC was "Drinking
Drivers: The First National Attitude Test"
which was based on a national survey to
discover the reactions of Canadians to
drinking drivers and what they thought
should be done about it.
The result of that television show was to
try to find a model community to conduct a
survey to discover the initial attitudes of the
people and their attitudes following an in-
tensive program by community groups.
Red Deer, Alberta was chosen as the best
spot to conduct the experiment because it is
"prosperous, progressive, medium-sized
and best of all it was situated half way
between two major metropolitan areas. It
was dependent on neither. It had its own
media, its own isolated traffic statistics,"
says IBC literature.
The Optimist Club of the city decided to
take on the project and developed the Driv-
ing Under The Influence (DUTI) program
which is central to the study.
The IBC has enlisted the services of
groups such as Canada Jaycees, the Safety
Council, the Knights of Columbus and many
others, as well as the automobile insurance
industry to help distribute publicity
materials.
The show will be edited for transfer to
video cassettes which will be loaned to
various. groups across Canada. A booklet
and a 24 hour information hot line maimed
by the Red Deer Optimist Club are also
planned.
In the Clinton area the Knights of Colum-
bus are promoting the program. They urge
everyone to watch the television program to
help combat one of Canada's most serious
' social problems.

Jane Ladd, Huronview residents had ex-
cellent seats . in the auditorium and a
wonderful view of the ice surface. At first
some thought the stairs might be a problem,
but that was soon resolved. Eight husky
players of the Clinton team took the two
chairs up, and got them down, at the end of
game. Everyone certainly did appreciate
this and thanks goes to the staff'for their co-
operation.
Huronview welcomes Mrs. Una Jones of
Clinton, who has come to reside at Huron-
view. To the families of the late Miss Emma
MacDonald and Miss Jean Scott, sympathy
is expressed.
