prevention comes first there is at present a good deal of inter est over the discovery of various drugs cal culated to cure alcoholics by making them sick when they drink no one will discount the importance of rescuing the unfortunate alcoholic one of the most pathetic figures in modern soctety yet it reveals a bizarre situation it is said that alcoholism is in creasing by leaps and bounds some people say that nothing can be done about it surely in amazing solecism if the present generation drink more than their forefathers is it not in order to wonder why true alcohol was popular even long before horace sang of rich falenan wine yet excesses bred moderation and fifty years ago temperance societies were so ef fective tn jheir educational activities that prohibition came into effect largely because public opinion was opposed to drinking prohibition however was evidently not ihe cure but where oh where are the temper ance societies of yesterday thousands of valiant souls who in better days would have become members of the royr templars anon a badge of good citizenship or the w c t u have for too often become tipplers themselves the result of a series of accidents of which prohibition was perhaps the most serious has been that people have forgotten that the real solution of alcoholism is not cure but prevention the way to avoid becoming an alcoholic is not to drink it is as simple as that but who has the courage to say so or to take active steps lo promote the campaigns against drinking which our respectable an cesiors thought sane natural and in the pub lie interest the word respectable is used advisedly in describing our immediate fore bears because little mere than a generation ago they thought it was not respectable to drink health magazine of things ahead an engineering report on the road and street needs throughout the whole province the number of motor vehicles to 4 3 million m the next two decades the outcome will be of ontario has been prepared by the plan- ning and design branch of the highways de partment and was tabled recently in the legislature by highways minister fred aa cass the report outlines the road and street problems faced by the provincial govern men and the municipalities and the mea sures needed to cope with them it deals not only with present needs but with those of the next 20 years the study is supplementary to one pub lished m early 1957 titled a plan for ont arm highwa th previous report cover ed needs on the king s highways and second ary highways the principal findings of which have been re appraised condensed and car ned forward in the new report it is estimated that the grand total cost of the next 20 years programme will be ap proximately 7 2 billion according to the report ontario s popu lation is expected to rise to 8 8 miltion and an almost incredible 4u billion miles ot travel per year 22 times tnat cf today these factors plus the dependence of the pro vmces economy on highway transportation combine to demand a first class province wide highway and street network at the present time more and more traffic is pounng onto all parts cf the high way and street systems many miles demand more lanes and greater strength because of the volumes earned and the growing num bers of heavy truck transports in the past the various highway jurisdictions numbering 1 187 have often faced difficulties yet sue ceeded in constructing and maintaining 83 800 miles of highway and street systems that have served the public well but the re port concludes the accumulation of facilities needed today and the needs of the future require closer cooperation of all highway road and street authorities and improved administrative financing and planning pro cedure why nothing gets done this is an age replete with organizations and meetings there are so many in fact that aded m dividual somelimes wonder if something couldn t be done to reduce the time wasting aspects if however you are wedded to the idea of getting together to discuss things and leaving ihem unsolved as so many meetings do an editorial writer has evolved an ex cedent program foi sptiulmg lime to arhuve nothmq here it is 1
