A YMCA report in the Saint John-Lancaster area, the prov- 'Ince's most populous region, said of youth drink- ing has become broad and deep rooted. The report said teen-age clubs have been organized for the sole purpose of holding reg- drinking parties. among 200 teen-agers in the 13- to-19-year-old group that indi- cated 50 per cent of them drank and 45 cent of the ones who drank it because they liked the effect of liquor. Members of the city council and school board at Frederic- ton, the province's tal, have said they were shoc! at an increase in drinking among the city's school students. Few organizations in New Brunswick have attempted to battle the teen-age liquor prob- lem, but Dr. J. E. Carten of Chatham, director of the alco- hol education division pf the de- partment of education, says the government is willing to sup- port or offer assistance to an Allied Youth program in the province, Attempts in the past to begin Allied Youth programs--aimed at educating teen-agers in the Noel Turcotte Has 4 Winners FORT ERIE (CP)--Noel Tur- cotte, 22 - year-- old younger brother of Ron, one of North America's top riders, rode four winners on the eight-race card at Fort Erie Tuesday and jumped into a tle for third place in the national rankings. Turcotte, from Grand Falls, N.B., now has ridden 92 win- ners this season and is just five behind the leading rider, Hugo Dittfach of Calgary. His four visits to the winner's circle also gave Noel 50 victories at Fort Erie's summer meeting, 16 more than runner-up Avelino Gomez.

The Times and Transcript survey--dealing with a cross- section of youths -- indicated most drinking teen-agers got their first taste of alcohol at about 15 years of age. Half of them obtained their first drink from friends, 20 per cent from illegal outlets and most of the remainder from government stores. Most of the youths said they drank on weekends, but six per cent said they drank on a daily basis, About 75 per cent said they had been intoxicated at least once. About 10 per cent said they frequented taverns and a like anfount said they he If there fs an increase in drinking among teens, what are BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE the reasons? "I think most are curious to find out what effect Uquor has on them," said a_ teen-ager uestioned in the Times and ranscript survey. "Others are dared to drink. If they don't they're left out of the group." "If I drink it's usually caused by trouble or moodiness," si another. "I do it to relieve the tiredness."' "There's an increase in drink- ing because there is too much advertising of liquor and be- cause of a lack of education as to the effects of liquor and how to drink properly," one youth said, Angus (Gus) MacFarlane, di- rector of athletics and physical education at Mount Allison Uni- versity, Sackville, N.B., said the time has gone when society can give sheets of factual in- formation about the problems of alcohol to teen-agers and expect them not to drink, "The bright, intelligent young people of our day have all the information that is necessary," Mr, MacFarlane said. 'They need the sincere interest of older people, They need help from their teachers, parents and friends if they are going to learn how to handle liquor. "The facts are available to all these kids. But facts don't mean much to most of them, They're influenced by people." drank at home. AJAX (Staff) -- A 72-year-old Ajax woman was the victim of a $785 fraud last weekend. Ajax Police withheld the woman's name to save her embarrass- ment, At 1 p.m., Thursday she re- ceived a telephone call from a supposed "bank investigator' who informed her that the Bank of Montreal in Ajax had been under surveillance by them because they suspected irregularities and felt that some employees had been stealing money from some accounts in- cluding her own. The teleph caller ri ed that she withdraw $785 from her account, being careful not to spoil the fingerprints and swore her to secrecy. She was informed that a bank messen- ger would call for the money and that it would be returned to her account after it was checked. The caller advised her that she would be informed at 7 p.m. Friday that her money was rs back in her account. When the Ajax woman re- Ajax Woman Defrauded Of $785 Bank Account ceived no call, at the specified time, she informed police, By this time the fraud artists were undoubtedly well on their way. The lady described the mes- senger who picked up the money to the police as being in his late 40's, with a swarthy complexion and a heavy build, about 5 feet 8 inches tall. Ajax Police Chief C. G. Dunn informed the banks four months ago about the procedure the criminals were using to de- fraud elderly persons of their ioe usually between $400 and how the knowledge of the vic- tim's bank account came to the attention of the criminals. The caller usually asks the victim not to say anything to bank officials because of secur- ity reasons.

The police are unaware of Bowmanville Driver Fined On Two Charges BOWMANVILLE -- A West aid| Beach man was- convicted of careless driving in Magistrate's Court here Tuesday and fined $50 and $14.40 costs, or seven days. Failing to show proof of insurance brought a further fine of $50 and costs, or an addition- al seven days. Walter Russell Beers, 66 West Beach, pleaded not guilty to both charges. He was represented by J. D. Humphreys, Oshawa, Willard Gorr, Hampton, told the court he was eastbound on Taunton rd,, and had stopped at his driveway, with his left signal light flashing, waiting for eastbound traffic to pass, He said that two cars had passed 'and @ third was coming when his: car was struck from behind and pushed across the centre line into the westbound lane where the third car struck him. Lloyd Guthrie, 363 Rossland rd Oshawa, driver of the third car involved, confirmed that Mr. Gorr was signalling for a left turn. He added that he heard the bang and saw the car push- ed over in front of him. This made it impossible to avoid a collision. Mr, Beers asked for six weeks to pay his fine, explaining that he was going on vacation and would need the money. for . B Baxter. "They should be able to borrow to pay their fines. You will have two weeks and no longer." Two Oshawa youths pleaded not guilty of consuming liquor' while under age. Both charges 'were dismissed, Edgar Spoelstra and Paul Skoreyko 'were charged at Caesarea when they were ob- served in the dance hall park- ing lot with beer bottles in their harids, Police evidence was that several youths dropped bottles and ran from the lot, but these two were apprehended. .A beer bottle, partly full, corked and taped closed, was produced in evidence. Magistrate RR. B. Baxter stated that he realized the problem police officers have in the matter of under-age drink- ing, adding that in one of his courts recently a lad of 14 had appeared on a similar charge. In dismissing the charge he pointed out that the contents of the bottle had not been analyzed, the boys had not been seen drinking from the bottle and there was no evidence given that their breath had smelled of alcohol.
