Page the HERALD Wednesday April Concern at home an alternative to drugs There is a solution to the growing problem of drug and alcohol abuse according to Peter Marks a volunteer representative of Drug Addiction and Research Foundation In a presentation last Wednesday evening Mr Marks addressed a group of concerned parents members the North Hal ton Contact and various community leaders regarding drug and alcohol abuse There is a reason why drugs are available They fulfill a need that la not met elsewhere Drugs can tem porarily cover the feelings of Insecurity and helplessness that many children go through and cannot discuss at home Being a parent la more than just providing a paycheque at the end of each week and at tending the annual banquet be said If more people would learn to parent there would be leas drug abuse added Mr Marks Drug and alcohol abuse affects not only the children from broken homes with meager Incomes but those that have no financial worries and good backgrounds Lifestyles vary but the problem Is the lack of com munications In he family unit There were no drugs when I was young noted one of the members of the audience At that time everyone was working Drugs were not available then and because everyone was working as a family the feeling of un derstanding was always there explained Mr Marks The difference in children of today and of the war era Is the result of affluence and automation There Is more time to spend relaxing more time for problems to grow There Is also more money with which to buy drugs or alcohol to cover these problems The problem of over- protective parents also adds to the Increased use of drugs Children must learn to moke decisions for them- selves At one time in their life they must decide whether or not drugs have a place In their lives With no decisionmaking experience a child can make the wrong decision because of the inability to weigh the factors before Jumping into a much large problem than he anticipated The scare tactics used by the ministry of health to reach younger children have a diminishing effect as the child grows older and emotional needs begin to dominate Mr Marks said Logic doesnt always work and the experiences of others can serve to dictate the final choice a child may make when It comes down to a choice between to use or not to use drugs he added The LeDalne Commission report cited seven causes of drug abuse mental illness fun pleasure and excitement affluence cant live up to expectations withdraw ego boosting confidence and naivety Some of these uses Mr Mark said can be avoided if we as parents take the time to be good parents and enjoy life with our children and not program them to live our dreams Setting reasonable ex pectations that are easily attainable one of the major concerns in being a good parent By sharing the Inadequacies as well as the virtues of life it la possible to strengthen the family and gain reassurance Continued use of drugs and alcohol can cause a physical and psychological dependency on the drug and its effect to the point where life can only be tolerated with the aid of the artificial crutch provided by he drug Many of he current cases of drug abuse could have been solved if someone had taken the Initiative to do something to alk with heir children concluded Mr Marks We as parents hold he key controlling drug and alcohol abuse in teenagers We must learn communicate and treat them as individuals If we are constantly setting our goals upon them nothing but frustrations can grow Drugs have become a multi- million dollar enterprise meeting the need that should be met in the home Tender- loving care concluded Mr Marks Peter Marks Your favorite gal deserves- to be pampered On Mothers Day plan on a

renovating their buildings or putting up new buildings In the past the nonfarm resident owners did not have to respect these distances In most cases Larry Ritchie associate agricultural representative from Peel stated that manure differs in fertility value ac cording to the breed of livestock age of animal and typo of feed which is fed to the animal A high portion of the feed passes through the animal and contains a high proportion of the nutrients some percent of the Nitrogen SO percent of the Phosphate and percent of the Potash Close to onehalf of he manure value is in the liquid portion thus farmers should try to retain this for use on their crops rather than allowing it to run off and be wasted Paul Fish soils and crops specialist from Newmarket felt that fertilizer costs are going to remain high for the future thus the farmer with livestock must try to make the best use of his manure Nitrogen is the element in the manure which is most likely to be lost through the air of ground water Very little Phosphate or Potash Is lost unless manure actually washes away Manure losses can be slowed up by piling the manure In deep piles and not applying it lo dry ground Bob Bell agricultural representative from Peel discussed the value of manure and showed that In many cases it can completely eliminate the need for com mercial fertilizer Manure can be at the University of
