What is.the drug situation in tba
Southern Ontario area?' That is *
question Wilted of . the ftp
regularly. From, the huge
quantity seizures }nowng

stuatton is rat improving to rite
least, in fMct,le worsening.
The . RCMP describe the
availability' of marijuana as
being "abundant". Its quality
and origin is as varied as the
brand names used to market this
illicit commodity. The home-
grow- nroduot, that grown here
Iz l r 1 . is now available at an
al r ' t. gh. Fields or plots of
marijuana are scattered in
tobacco fields, in marshes, in
wooded areas --- anywhere that is
not readily accessible and is out
of sight, Prices vary from $400.00
per 1b. for "Columbia Gold" to
$175.00 for locally grown or the
Jamaican product. ..

You have never seen a film quite like this one featuring
Red Harper as he becomes a rancher. To the beat of
horses hooves, the high tension of a posse in pursuit of
an alleged bank robber ... YOU .... will be thrilled at this
new film just released ... "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING
TO MOST PEOPLE" -This Sunday night at Huron Men's
Chapel. Auburn 8 p.m.
Evil prevails when good men do nothing.
toward growing marijuana in the
area concerns Assistant Com-
missioner E. R. Lysyk, Com-
manding Officer of the RCMP in
the Southern Ontario area very
,,much. In the same way, he is
concerned about the increase in
preparing chemical drugs locally
throughout the same area. It is
clearly evident the number of
local illicit laboratories is on the
increase.
Hashish is a stronger deri-
vative of the marijuana plant and
it can be generally said that
it is in ample supply, enough to
satisfy the local appetitie.
The RCMP Drug Squads
throughout Southern Ontario are
directing their efforts toward the
major traffickers, but these
efforts have been insufficient to
curb the flow of cannabis due
mostly to the . large number of
totally unrelated persons
engaged in the illicit marketing,
growing and importing of , the
drug. Marijuana traffickers
generally are not regarded by
Canadian Courts with the same
seriousness as are traffickers in
other' illegal drugs Such as heroin
and methatnphetamines. Sen-
tences handed down for mari-
juana trafficking simply have not
acted as a deterrent.
Turning again to the matter of
illicit laboratories operating in.
Ontario for the manufacture of
methamphetamines (Speed,
MDA and LSD), the majority of-
_ these laboratories manufacture
their product for, marketing in
other parts of Canada and other
countries more so than for
marketing in Ontario. This situ-
ation creates little feed -back- to
authorities here and makes
detection more difficult. Fairly
numerous arrests have been
made, however.
•
Concerted efforts of the -RCMP
Drug Squads working with a
number of foreign agencies have
resulted in the upper echelon , of
heroin importing organizations
being prosecuted. The result ---°
street price of heroin in Ontario is
up from $75.00 per bundle of -25
capsules' in 1971 to $20:OO. per
capsule at present. The concen-
tration of heroin addicts seems to
be in the. Toronto, ,Ipiilton,. ia-
gara Ee a t t op. i o .s ,
Kitchener areas.
Cocaine is rapidly becoming
the most popular drug of abuse in
Ontario. This trend has become
quite predominant in the past two
years. Importers of this par-
ticular drug are not of one
organization and operate inde-
pendently rather than being
controlled by a central' organ-
' d`ization. ` Cocaine -originates in
South,, Americand comes to
Canada either dirt or even via
Europe.
With today's world of rapid
tranpportation and communi-
cation methods employed the
routes utilized are governed only
by the imagination of the im-
porter, Distances have shrunk so
drastically on a time scale that
global treks by importers are
quite commonplace.
Some of the importers and
major traffickers ate highly
organized and fall within the
term "organized crime". Others
are small operators, receiving
the contraband through the mail,
by freight, or by purchasing it
themselves in foreign countries.
The profits are enormous as are
the risks. On the risk side, not all
the risk comes from law en-
forcement agencies — there are
rip-offs from their own people.
Thefts, selling substances held
out to be drugs, and informants
are some of the hazards a drug
trafficker has to face. Certainly
the term "honour among
thieves" doesn't apply in the drug
trafficking world.

Hockey mothers
to buy crests
The Wingham Mothers' Auxi- -
liary to Minor Hockey will be
buying crests and year bass for ;
all minor hockey players for the
1974-75 season'. The Auxiliary
members decided at their Oct. 7
meeting that year bars will be
presented' to players each year
thereafter and will state the.
classification of- the boys. The
crests will only be given to first
year players.
Minor Hockey President Ted
'A'Hara attended the meeting and
presented the members with
some interesting and useful infor-
mation. 'The Mothers' Auxiliary
agreed that they would help out to
the best of .their ability in the
minor hockey drive for chocolate
bar wrappers. The candy, com-
pany began a competition earlier
this year which will providee news
equipment for minor hockey' `'
teams in Canada which collect
the "host wrappers.. At present`; e

plans are being made to change ,
that.
Mothers' Auxiliary will be 'pre-
senting the.MHA with a cheque at,
the next meeting of the minor
hockey association.
In other business the ladies
sounded out Recreation Director
Jim Ward about having the iron
railing around the MAMH booth
closed in to prevent injury to chil-
dren who climb on the bars.
The Auxiliary's next meeting
will be held'at the arena at 8:30,
Nov. 4. All interested mothers are
asked to come out and support
minor hockey through the
