The Brussels Post, 1975-12-17, Page 7A SMALL SCALE INVASION That's what it was
like on Wednesday arid Thursday of last week when
all the students of Walton Public School toured the
Expositor office. More than 100 kids came, but not
all at once. These grinning kindergarten kids looked
things over with their teacher Audrie Bertsch of
Seaforth. School secretary Mrs. Jean Bewley once
worked at the Expositor and could give the students
a really good insight into how the news paper
operates. (Staff Photo)`

Christmas spirit doesn't
need too much booze
By David Woods
So you're going to be the
affable "ho ho" host again this
Christmas? And everyone knows
you mix a lethal martini, and
some of last year's guests
couldn't even remember where
they put their cars. It's a miracle
they got home at all.
They were lucky. Many
drinking drivers never do make it
home -- especially at this time of
year. But, as a host, you
shouldn't trust to luck; rather,
you should play an active part in
ensuring your guests' safety.'
How? By recognizing that the
festive spirit doesn't all come out
of a bottle.
Talk. Sing. Mingle with
friends. Celebrate. Give. That's
what the Christmas spirit ought to
be about, and surely it doesn't
take being boozed to the gills to
achieve it.
Not that the host has to be
Scrooge-like; but it's possible to
offer alternatives to alcoholic
beverages tomato juice or
perhaps, a non-alcoholic punch.
When it comes to pouring r
alcoholic beverages, you're not I
doing any favors ,by doling out Z I P
random, generous amounts.. I '
Keep party drinks to measured ELECTRIC
One-ounce shots -- and even a
increasing the amount of mix, as
CONTRACTI$G reduce their size, while I
666i Will' mi..,
allow his body to metabolize some
of the alcohol it has consumed.
As a further inducement to his
process, the good host can also
engage in benign , neglect of
guests whose glasses appear
constantly empty. And for the last
hour before your guests are ready
to leave, refrain from serving any
alcoholic beverages.
If you need help in deciding
who goes home under their own
steam — anything more than two
or three drinks will impair ability
to handle a car safely. If you need
reassurance that youre right to
deter anyone who's had more
than that amount ... remember
that the drinking driver and his
car forin a potentially suicidal --
or homicidal -- combination, and
that more than half of all auto
accidents in Ontario involve
alcohol.
Having remained sober
yourself, you should be in a good
position to discern who's capable
of driving home. Be firm: take the
overboozed guests's car keys --
and put him into a taxi, arrange
for a lift home or put him up for
the night. He may not like it, but
he'll be thankful ... and he'll have
a far better chance of getting back
to your place next year.
