Canadian youth striving for clean image
SWEAT SOCKS
Eby He
ther McIlwraith
I am becoming more and more convinced
that there is a push to retrieve the clean-cut
and upstanding image of youth in Canada
that was apparently the pinnacle of the
1950's.
Now 30 years later, Canada seems to have
become a country that is decidedly anti -bad
habit. We started slowly with a campaign to
eliminate flabby bodies and stimulate
national physical activity, but in recent
years have become increasingly more
verbal in our denouncement off our vices.
Lately, I'm sure, people will recall
hearing the catchy jingle on the radio telling
us cigarettes are, "anything but cool" and
to "butt them out you fool". Or perhaps you
can remember seeing such movie personali-
ties as Brooke Shields telling us through the
television medium that she wouldn't
associate with people who smoked. Remem-
ber the line, 'I thought you had it all
together and then you lit up a cigarette"?
Well, such negative stimulation is
probably effective, but to what degree?
Why should we adhere to anyone elses
standards of what "is" and "isn't cool", or
"together''?
More recently Atcohoi and Drug Con-
cerns Inc., has taken a more positive step in
ebbing a "bad" habit. In concordance with
the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and
numerous other hockey associations in
Canada it is promoting a system of
preventative medicine, a means of educat-
ing youth before they are tempted to
experiment with drugs.
This is the second year of " et high on
hockey", a drug prevention kit that is being
handed out to more than 50,000 pee wee
hockey players at registration time.
The kit, which proved to be popular with '
kids and parents last year, .contains a new
pamphlet for parents with tips on preven-
tion strategies as well as general
information on drugs and their effects.
Alcohol and Drug Concerns Inc. say they
have not singled out 10 to 12 year old hockey
players because they have problems, but
because they are not using drugs yet. They
can be influenced and/or educated before
they reach the age of experimentation,
which is usually 14 or 15.
By reaching young people with positive
lifestyle information this way, through
sports, which the kids enjoy, Alcohol and
Drug Concerns loc. hope to curb the
incident of drug addiction in future years.
The program is similar to one initiated in
Alberta three years ago, in that it involves
hockey as the promotional tool. At that
time, Wayne Gretzky, and other less public
figures of the Edmonton Oilers travelled to
Alberta Public Schools conducting question
and answer type educational sessions on
drug and alcohol abuse. They were
accompanied by local narcotic officers and
they really made kids aware of the dangers
of drugs. Having seen the program in action
I'd have to say It was effective.
It's strange how programs essentially
designed for the same purpose can come
across so differently. Its one thing to be
•educated against the ill effects of a
particular thing, quite another to by told
that we won't conform to the world's or
more specifically, an individual's ideal, if
we do or don't do something.
Maybe it's time more concerned organi-
zations tried to make Use of our intelligence
and common sense instead of nurturing our
desire to rebel against what is considered --
the right -thing to do.

"Tourists of week"
The Georgian Triangle Tourist Association
and Convention Bureau and the Wasaga
Beach Chamber of Commerce have an-
nounced a Seaforth family as their "Tourists
of the Week".
Bill and Lois Van Reenan and their
children David and Monica were selected
Amos' 3, 1984 in Wasaga Beach.
-The "Tourist of the Week" promotion is
organized by the Chambers of Commerce of
the Inter -Chamber of Commerce Committee
of the Georgian Triangle Tourist Association
and Convention Bureau.
The "Tourist of the Week" family is
selected by a committee from the Chamber,
sometimes in conjunction with the local
police force, who assist in designating the
family to be honored and issuing them n ith a
citation as "Tourist of the Week". The
family is then taken to the Municipal offices
to be welcomed by the Mayor, embers of
the Council and the Presid' nt of the
Chamber,
