OPP urge students o drink and drive after graduation celebrations Te Ontario Provincial Police are seeking the elp of parents and teachers to reduce the number of accidents involving teenagers drinking and driving after end -of -term celebrations over the next couple of months. Graduations, school dances and field par- ties are just around the corner. The OPP wants to convince the partygoers that drink- ing and driving can cause senseless death and injury. The provincial police are concerned with a wide variety of traffic safety problems, but- prevention of impaired driving is a priority item because this persistent social problem brings on untold human suffering and a tremendous financial cost to society. During 1985, International Youth Year, it is the special objective of the OPP to have the young people of our province experience the safest motoring possible this spring and summer. To accomplish this objective, OFF Com- missioner Archie Ferguson is asking for a co-operative and concentrated ' effort by parents, educators and law enforcement of- ficers to help our young people truly understand the perils of drinking and driv- ing. While police officers have a definite pole in enforcing anti -drinking and driving laws, educators can contribute by encouraging discussion on the subject of drinking and' driving as part of the graduation prepare,- tions. reparestions. Parents can use their influence to en- courage their children to exert pressure on their peers.
