• 1. Simple, over-all answer to the
, 'problem. Raising the
drinking age to 19, according
to Mr. Jones, will not prove to
be the magical solution to the

In :round one, Huron con-
vincingly defeated.last year's
consolation winners from
Waterloo, and then went on to
dispose of a strong Barrie
side who had earlier beaten a
much fancied local Guelph
squad. jt took the power and
skill of.Canada`s Nq. i line=up.

Huron can console them-
selves in the fact that last
_.._— __ _ weekend -they- proved --to ,..be
the third best Hearn of their
class in, the < Province. of
Ontario, behind only the
leading'- Canadian -teams of
• . Oakville and Bramalea.
Without. taking anycredit
away from skipper Colin
Alexander of Goderich and
his hard-working crew, a
special thanks should be.
extended' to the few die-hard
Huron supporters who gave
up their voices and a weekend
to cheer on. the "country -
boys" iii Guelph.
m Ey being rated third best in*
Ontario, and by being among
the . last nine teams that
remain in the 1976 Michigan-
Ontario Cup, is „an ex-
ceptional accomplishment for
Huron County minor soccer;
and. the County hasproved. it:
can compete, with the very
best -in North America. The
made by Mr: Jones and his
associates collie so sharply
into focus. And one which will
particularly appeal : to
,parents and gther adults will
.be the recommendation that
only probationary drivers'
licences be issued to young
drivers between the ages of -16
and 18. These licences would
be suspended for one year for
any • liquor related traffic'
offences, and for two; years to
- a second offence.
,That kind of legislation is
sometl"iing which is badly
needed; for—it--puts the
responsibility squarely where
it belongs , on the shoulders of
the young drivers. It should
to develo i some
also serve
excellent driver attitudes for
citizens as they grow older
aakdhopefUllYwiser._•
;/here were other- redom-
mendations, too.. Mr. 'Jones
feels there should be • su
stantial minimum penalties
for under -age purchase .and•-
consumption of alcohol, and
for - individuals and.
businesses that supply liquor
to minors. The committee
.also agreed there should be.
stricter enforcement. of
existing liquor laws and those
relating to drinking -driving
offences.
It isn't really known
whether the warnings on
cigarette packages and on
cigarette adv=ertising are,
much of a deterrent, but
Terry Jones and his com-
mittee think each alcohol
container should .:havea
warning that if alcohol is
abused, there is a health
hazard. Mr: Jones alsowants
breweries and .distilleries to
use 20 percent of their ad-
vertising budgetsfor
educational programs ad-
vising of the •dangers of,
alcohol abuse, the direct
opposite to current ad
• vertising'.. which glamorize's
dripking and drinkers.
Parents with young people
playing potential. ;is here,
what is needed is • more
support for the boys who fully
deserve it.

age 18 in. their homes will
have probably , heard of
"proof cards':. Terry Jonas is
suggesting that young people
of the legal age . who want to
purchase • alcoholic
beverages, should have to
produce an authentic Iden-
tification Card provided
through the Consumer and
Commercial Relations
Ministry of the Ontario
government. These cards
would bear a'picture "af the
young person and would' be
provided. without cost by the,
Ministry.
Ali' the recommendations
put forth by Mr. Jones andhis
'committee are worthy of
note. They' are all excellent
ideas, and if put into practice
should go a long way toward
providing.part of the solution.
to the problem .of too "much
teenagebonzingin.Qntario. _.
"But a large measure of'•the
success'vvill corrte.through the
example set- by parents 'and
other adults. 1f the adults all
.-around them are drinking to
excess, driving and drinking
and • , generally abusing
alcohol, the chances are
pretty good that the kids will
follow suit. •
The reverse isn't also true,
unfortunately. One cannot
say that if parents and adults
set a good example, the kids
will „ naturally ''follow It.
•.'Somehow that just doesn't
happen. About the hest we
can hope for in that depart-
ment is that the kids will have
° better chance . if . the
example they see from day to
day is a good one..
Where does that leave us?
Well, • there aren't
• guarantees to be certain. But
then there never ;are when it
comes to such things. It just
puts more importance .on
moderation,' and on watchi-ng
out :for. dangerous pitfalls

The . Indian subcontinent ands'
Bangladesh should_ produce harvests
this year which -are better thanusuatbut
there remain'milliots of mouths to feed
even in the best years.
Meanwhile,here in Canada, it could be
a bumper year. If good weather holds
over thenext Month harvests all over the.
country will be above average with the
exception of a few. isolated araS.
The west is predicting a bumper wheat
crop and here in•Ontario things Took good
depending on how early the frosts. -come.
Weather can still _:make the • crucial
dehumanized job's and some even go so ,'
far 'as to say they'll vote socialist next

pnce'more been preserved..
Of course all this is only temporary,
and James :°R. lylcC'ann .knows' it. After

difference between success and failure
of the white bean harvest but most of the
grain is now -off with good 'yields
rep`ored,:
Normally top 'harvest, such as those
expected, would mean lower unit prices
for the farmer butwith the situation in
Europe there have been hints that
Canada's export market may expand'
bonsiderably". . -
The British pound `isn't buying much
these days and the last thing financial
leaders there want is -'another flow of
English funds abroad. However poor
rains are unlikely to, reduce demand in
that country and the politicians may find
it pecessary to 'ease up on overseas
spending restraints so thatcertain food.
items can be imported.
If the weather holds, Canada may.just
'bethe recipient of some of that money.

which could rear, up . and
haunt us all, -
-One suelr..•-")itfall was
brow ht°to light at
g g a recent
convention of The Ontario
Parks 'Association when the
-subject for , debate 'was
whether or not to- sell liquor
regularly in parks and sports
arenas, • •
Very wisely, perhaps, the
delegates at the convention
never did reach a,conclusion.
.Instead,' they agreed to
.prepare• and mail a detailed
,questionnaire to all• ciembers
in. •the . near.. future,. to help
establish' the majority
preference in this matter; 1
suspect , the Association's
findings . and ° ':recom-
iriendation would . then 'be
ferwattded to. the Ontario
government where legislation
is currently under study: in
this area. -
There's usually. two waysto
look at everything - and this is
exception. One _call argue.
that increasing the number••of
outlets.: forthe sale of alcohol
is safe. Those . who want. to ,
drink will drink anyway.
Those who don't want to drink
won't drink even if it were
flowing in the water foun-
tains. :
Or a person could argue
that selling alcohol in parks
and -arenas,, would' make
drunkards and bounders. out
of otherwise, sane• and son
sihle' men and wo en. It
would provide )none. •op,.
pOrt_unitics to drink:and would
p therefore „ cause:' more
• heartache and more troublq ,-
or more people, .
Those viewpoints are. of

eourse, at opposite ends of the
pole. Neither may, be entirely
fair or accurate. ° .It is,
