Toc Alpha Conference
at`\Alalker
Kerry Stuckey
During the Christmas !'oh -
days three students from the
Wingham District High School,
Patsy Zgrbrigg, Ruth Anne Tai-
lor and Brian Miller spent five
days at the eleventh annual Toc
Alpha Conference in Niagara
Falls. We, along with 650 other
delegates, had the time of our
lives at the beautiful Shera_t_on-
Brock Hotel.
The purposes of this cont :r, -
ecce of youth"on "alcohol prob-
lems were:
1. To convey factual sties i
fic information on aspects of
the problem of interest and
concern to youth.
2. To offer them a better
understanding of -the alcohol
problem through personal ob-
servation of the social implica-
tions of:the problem.
3. To provide a fellowship
through recreation and social
activities.
4. To ecourage the develop-
ment of a youth movement
called Toc Alpha to help ado-
lescents find satisfying substi-
tutes for drinking throµgh a.
.program of •recreationddu-
c ation.
Now, even as I write this I
can hear` some of_ the readers
say that all -they do is preach
the evils of ,alochol at these
conferences. However, this is
completely . incorrect. Speakers
a •
•
from varying occupations gav+
their opinions On the question : ,
of beverage alcohol after thea
basic facts of the drug were
.presented. Therefore, any -COn
elusions you reached were en ••
tirely your own.
Alcohol was by no means the
$.opic we restricted our-
sc... es to. Conscription, birth
.conao,1, abortion, censorship,
Viet Nam, drugs and other
areas f current interest were
also di ussed. •
Spea .ers•"like"Dr. Morton
Shulman spoke and there was a y
breathalizer demonstration,
movies such as "T1rDays of
Wine and Roses" and "What's
New pussy Cat" weir seen and
there was a folk concert and a
dance et'ery night with top- '
name bands. A winter bus tour
of Niagara Falls contributed to
the enjoyable, atmosphere which
surrounded "'Vis}ori '6�'7"•
But most of all it was the
meeting ot other students from
all over Ontario, living -and
talking with them for a few '
days, that made:the conference
so wonderfully • worthwhile. , And
as we sang "Auld . Lang Syne" •
on New `Year's Eve we somehow
knew that this must have been
the purpose of Centennial Tear
to get together and. discover
someone else from'somewhere
else in Canada.. '
