The three alternatives
Suggested in the brief, only.
one of them to date popular
With government, were:
A revised taxation policy so
that the relative price of
alcohol is stabilized and riot'
allowed to decrease further.
A freeze on any. further
relaxation or liberalization of
alcohol -control policies so
that the status quo can, at
least be •evaluated and •un-
derstood before, future
changes are contemplated.
A concerted program of
public education dealing with
the personal and social
hazards . of heavy alcohol
consumption: -
There is this final
statement in this Alcohol
Information Digest: "In spite.
of the fact that the paper is
three years old, it remains
timely and valid because of
the continuing increase in
alcohol consumption and :the
potential for further
liberalization of the' gover-
nment's liquor control
policies:"
In the next few• weeks, the
weeks leading up to Christ-
mas and the New Year, booze
will be the catalyst for many,
many parties in and around
Goderich. It behooves all of
us to. THINK -BEFORE WE
DRINK .. .and to recognize
the potential danger and
heartache alcohol abuse can
have in our • ownpersonal
lives as' well -as the financial
burden •unhealthy drinking
habits can place on the back
of taxpayers in general.
Also in the weeks ahead,
keep, wa+ ;king this column
for the figures about alcohol
consumption in our own
Huron County. . . as well -as
some hard facts about the
-seriousness of the teenage
drinking problems in this
present age .as researched by
the experts who should know:
concerning the adverse, ef-
fects of alcohol, a conflicting
message tis conveyed to the
public. -
'On the • one hand, the
decreasing relative cost of
alcohol and the general trend
toward politically' popular,
liberalized drinking laws
problem drinkers was used to ..
offset direct medical costs to
provide care for them, it
would be insufficient! And
this • is a very conservative
estimate, as the figures for
directmedical costs do not
include either physician's
fees or municipal welfare
payments. Nor do these
statistics, reflect alcohol's
contribution to industrial and""
traffic accidents. . . • and its'
role in reduced productivity.
+++.
Two factors are said to be
associated . with..• the
prevalence of alcohol-related
health problems. They are:.
(a) the relative cost of alcohol
and (b) the level of ac-
ceptance of "drinking in the
population:.•
Quoting directly from an
Alcohol Information Digest
put out by • the Addiction.
Research Foundation, the
following is said to- be; an
unusual contradiction in
provincial laws : - •
"Withrespect to the former
issue; a: -clear inverse
relationship between the
relative cost of Alcohol and
the :general level- of con-
sumption exists' so that
alcohol consumption in-
creases' as its relative cost
decreases, -Zn Ontario the
relative price of beverage
alcohol in -all forms have
shown a steady decrease '
since the second World War,
and this has been ac-
companied by a correspon-
ding increase in consumption
levels..
• "With respectto the second •.
major influence, it is argued
that the level of acceptance of
drinking is a complex fun-
ction of at least three iden-
tifiable forces - including
general . attitudes toward
drinking; popular beliefs
about the effects ofalcohol;
and the, extent and nature of
government sanctions or
legal restrictions on alcohol
use.
"Because the government
takes an active -part both in
regulating the pricing, sale,
and distribution and also
supports a system of treat-
ment, education and research ,

Instead of 4 wanton
destruction, illegally done, on

responsibility to the tax-

recently, very few people
seem to take it seriously.:
It is time that we realized
that with the increasing costs
'and 'diminishing reserves of
all forms of energy we must
continue to practice and.
promote the conservation
theme,
For example, we should
check to see if our homes
require additional insulation
added to the ceilings and
whether additional caulking
around the windowsand
door frames will eliminate
drafts and help reduce our
heating costs. And what about
hot water? That convenience
alone represents about 30
percent of the energy used in
the home today.
The important thing is that
many pilots and men of
technical ability who could
serve.
The unnecessary
despoliation of Menesetu;ng _
Park will never be forgotten
or forgiven by the heartsick
cottage owners.

or.... :
there must be individual
initiative to conserve nd'the'
wise use of electricity' should
be a goal for all of us. We
have been told that with our
present rate of use, in-
creasing at 7 percent per.year
in Ontario, we will be facing
shortages in 1980. If we can
reduce thisincrease to 6
percent per year, Ontario
Hydro's load forecasters
believe that we can control
theproblem.
A little thought towards
eliminating wasteful usage of
electrical energy will not only
cost us lessl, but assure us of
continuing electrical power =
a service to which we are
accustomed.
