Prior to the discussion a " film on triatiluana use by children in the United States under the age of 16 was shown with Short saying the film was realistic and many of the children pictured re- sembled sorne of the youths which he had dealt with locally, Ellison anrEpp Iad simi- lar feelings about,the film in that it presented a realistic picture. In one of the recurring themes of the eOning Glad - ding ,said he believed some parents wereveglecting their duty when it came to the supervision of the children and that there was a real problem in terms of a double standard. "When you have a double standard it makes it difficult to deal with the children o,n the matter." McClure stated alcohol was more popular among students than marijuana and that while the alcohol or drug abuse problem mav begin at THE 'HURON EXPOSITOROPTOOR 10 the home the school does have a responsibility. "Hcify a day goes by when 1 don't see a person affected in some manner by alcohol," Ecker stated and added that as a parent, he would be upset if he dis- covered his children were smoking marijuana, but that he wouid be more upset if they were using alcohol;\ In a question and(answer session Short said the courts were leveling heavier fines against drug pushers and that the penalties for drink- ing and driving had been stiffened. After his third drinking and driving convie- tion a_driver- could lose his licence for three years. SHAHS teacher Bruce Perry put the blame for alcohol and drug abuse on the shoulders of the parents and suggested that as a last resort all laws be eliminated and people be made respon- sible for their own actions.

If you have a certain percentage of plants with eggs or early feeding signs, you spray. This spray will control a percentage of the borers. It will kill the borer that it comes in contact with. However, this spray only lasts tor a short time. It Ivill not kill borer's that hatch later in the ytar. So you see the problem. You can spray for corn borer but unless this spray is timed tight, it won't do any good. It also is recommended to be sprayed into the whorl of the plant. Can yout, sprayer do that? Another factor involves the number of eggs laid in relation to usual yield de- pression. CORN BORER NO WORSE THIS YEAR There was no significant difference in the number of adults laying eggs this year as opposed to last year. We obtained this information from the people who monitor corn borer every year. How- ever, there may have been greater survival of eggs laid. Or the one that did hatch may have done more damage But. given average condi- tions, the number of adults around this year usually would not make spraying Pay. A big difference seems to be related to hybrid differ- ences. This difference, I interpret as stalk strength. I have checked 3 of the area corn trial demonstrations this past week. There is a big difference in standability.- You may interpret this as corn borer tolerance. I inter- pret it as stalk strength. WhPh I see a hybrid standing like a fence and the hybrid next to it hugging the ground, to me that's a difference in stalk strength. I don't believe the farmer who suggested that "the adults of the corn borer check for corn hybrid signs and then onty eat certain hybrids". • alyzer test in Goderich, Mr. Bezzo was -charged:- - • --- Under normal circum- stances, said the crown attor- ney, the accu sed is released after he signs an appearance notice, an agreement to ap- pear in ourt to answer the charges. "Bezzo said he would go to jail before he woWd sign the appearance notice," said Seaforth pofice_Chief Jelin Cairns. Seaforth justice Of the peace, Robert Dinsmore, signed the committment war- rant which sent the accused man• to Stratford. Chief Cairns said Mr. Dinsmore could have refused to sign. Both Mr. Hunter and the tion --police-chief believe the 'Shia; could have been handled differently. The crown attor- ney said Mr. Bezzo could have been handed a sum- mons. Chief Cairns said un- der similar circumstances the accused is often Meld by police until a relative comes to get him. "I spoke to the police chief and the officer about it," said crown attor- ney Hunter. "that's about all I can do at this stage." Mr. Bezzo appeared in provincial court in Goderich last Monday, and was re- leased until he appears again Oct. 20.
