(James Friel photo) 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.
