Foote, V.C., and member of the Legis- lature for Durham County, who in Deputy Chie! Commissioner o! the Liquor Contrai Board of On- tario, gave an address Monday evening over the CBC provincial UpNaMwork on the series on "Pro- cial Affairs." For the benefit WStatesman readers who did flot hear this informative and thougbt-provoking talk, we arc publishing it herewith in full: Gaad Evening Friends, I suppose most of yau who are Iistening have been accustamcd ta think of The Liquor Control Board and the Liquor Licence Board as government agencies Fresh-water fish ta suit al tastes abound in Ontario lakes and streams. The best bait, the best time and the best way ta lure these fish are local lare. Let the U.S. 'visitor know how he can catch his limit. His fish-Ing satisfaction is another boost for Ontario's tourist industry. Give aur friends from across the border the hand that bids them back again. John Labatt Limited. FOR FISHERMEN which eitber buy and sel iquor directhy or authorize their sale tbrough variaus outhets. It is truc that these Boards per- !orm this function on bebal! o! tbe people o! Ontario so that pro-, fits may be rcturncd directly ta the people instead a! going ta private interests. There are, however, other im- portant functians o!, The Liquor Cantrol Board wbicb have been initiated and stresscd by the Prime Minister, and it is about these that I want ta talk ta you this evening. These services are Researchi, Rehabilitation and Education. Research is a rather ambitiaus termi and includes many complex studies. However, it is not merely an academic study, it is intensive- ly practical. Behaviour o! Canadians Here are !indings which in- dicate something a! the bebaviaur o! Canadian people wbo use bey- verage alcobol. From the ycars 1900 ta 1913 there was a steady increase in the number a! con- victions for drunkenncss, and in 1916 The Ontario Temperance Act was passcd as a protest of the public against conditions wbîcb would no longer be taler- ated. Today in Canada the num- ber o! convictions for drunken- ness per 10,000 o! population is aver twîcc the figures given for 1900. Again conditions are such that tbey should not be toheratcd by those wbo rightly demand a decent environment for them- selves and their familles. Gen- erahly it is agreed that Prohibition was not the answer-but some answcr there must be-and the Government is just as insistent, as its sevarest critic that a solu- tion must be found. Partial Solution Restrictive legislation is urged upan us by many, as praviding a partial solution. Let us sec bow it bas worked out in the !olhow- ing cases. In two Ontario cities, Toronto and London the number o! arrcsts for drunkenness per 10,000 o! population in 1948 were 161 and 134 respectively. In aur sister province o! Quebec, wbich bas been less restrictive in its legislation the comparative f igur- as for Montreal and Quebec city are 69 and 65-or about anc bah! a! aur arrests. The figure for St. John is ahmost an incredible ane -namely 494. In Bristol, Shef- field, Leeds, Birmingham, Man- chester and Liverpool the figures are 1.9 - 2.9 - 10.9 - 27.8 - 15.2 and 14.3. In Bristol with an incidence for drunkenness a! 1.95 there is a licenscd outlct for every 423 people. In Toronto witb an in- cidence o! 161 there is an outiet for evcry 3.460 people. Series o! Studies Wbatever these figures may mean-they surely do indicate Optonietuist - GLASSES FITTED h. this-tbat the answer to aur problem is flot ta be found in Re- strictive Legislatian alone. Please do flot take it that I would shirk any responsibility for the mast rigid enfarcement af such Legis- lation as we have. That is im- partant and it is a phase of aur activities which is being radically overhauled and which will mean the eliminatian from business of those who persistently refuse ta abey the letter and spirit of aur laws. Pcrbaps a more construc- tive and interesting phase of aur research is a series of studies be- ing made of individuals, arrested for drunkenness. *We are under- taking these studies in 50 Ontai'lo centres. None o! these studies is complcted but tbey do seem ta indicate as far as wc have gane, that the majority of those who take refuge in drink are those wbose work is mast monotonous and non-creative-wbo are ini poorly paid occupations and whose bousing conditions are poor. Surcly the indication here, is that if social conditions arc improved, bebaviaur patternis wil be an a higbcr level. Constructive Alternatives The true temperance worker is the one who will include in. bis scheme of things a zeal for con- structive alternatives ta the drab and futile business of seeking ob- livion from misery in the exces- sive use af alcobol. One of the most urgent prob- lems in which aur Research De- partment is collaboratig is the problem of the drunken driver. We find that the number of ac- cidents reported have increased from 13,710 in 1939 ta 27,406 in 1948. The number of intoxicatcd drivers in accidents bas increascd from 269 in 1939 ta 374 in 1948. In 1948 there werc 10,635 sus- pensions and 1,149 or 10.8%l of these were for intoxication. Safety Driving The Minister o! Highways is very much concerned about the prabhem and bas intensified bis safety campaign. We in this De- partment are also intensifying aur efforts and are this year sending a representative of aur Depart- ment and a doctor !rom the Uni- versity of Toronto ta the Inter- national Conference on Traffic and Alcohol ta be beld in Stock- bhm in September. In this field of research wc are in close touch witb the School of Social Studies at the University of Toronto and the famous school for the study a! Ahcahahism at Yale University. Our work bas been recognized at Yale and parallel studies have been set up there in conjunction with some af aur specific prajects. We have surveyed the work of rebabilitation in many States and in Eurapen countries. The mast impressive undertaking is that of the State of Connecticut. The scope of their Commission in- chudes the care, custody, deten- tion, treatment, emphoyment and rehabilitation of alcobolics-and what is most significant in the long run-the prevention of ai- coholism. In the near future representa- tives from aur Department-tbe Departmcnt of Healtb, the John Howard Association and the Churches are going ta Connecti- cut ta make a first band study o! their praject and we hope ta de- velop in Ontario a comparable or- ganizatian. Field o! Education In the field of education an equahly comprehensive study is being made and the rcsults o! aur findings are being offered ta the Department of Education. It is obviaus that a problem whicb bas existed for so long and which offers so many difficulties, wihl not be solved ouickly or cas- ihy, but we do want ta assure tic people of Ontario that no expense or effort wihl be spared ta deal with it in the most effective way passible. In chosing I wisb ta express my thanks ta the gr<eat number of people who bave encauraged and assistcd me in my work. It is not a job that many wouhd choose, but it is anc that must be donc and I shahl do my best with it. Dietician in distress.

Neil Porter, Orono, bas invented a new, very exciting game, ini- volving the use of onc car, one pedestrian, one pair of eyeglasses. Yau've ail heard of «'Cops and Robbers," "Indians and Settiers," "French and English." Well, Neil calls bis pastime "Co-ordina- tion."l He, with the assistance of a car driver, gave a splendid d ginstration a few days aga. NeÇ w4lked boldly'out from be- hind a parked car, turned his head just in time to spot the car bearing down an him, jumped frantically to one side. The car driver turned bis car in the saine direction tbat Neil was headed and wbile Neil was in the middle of bis jump, caught him an the wing. It's very difficuit ta time it just right, but Neil dlaims that bie managed it O.K. on bis first try. The car driver has to be very quick, or hie may miss the fellow daing the jumpling. Neil wears spectacles costing $60. Yet hie picked them up unbrokcn from the roadway. Our friend did flot suffer any broken bones, jus' shack. Mrs. Porter was iii in bcd at the time.

In Landcr's Hardware in Bow- manville, the ather day. aur wif e bought a fourteen cent rubber door stop, ta replace ane of aur Sunday sboes, which bas been used as a doar stop for aur bed- raam door for the last three years. Being out in the room it collected dust, which explains why I susally wear anc nicely polished shoe and anc quite dusty. Things will be defferent now, tbey'll probably bath be dusty. We lost a caster fram the mid- dle leg of aur kitchen extension table and replaced it with a waodcn block, about twenty years ago. On Goad Friday we pulled the block off and stuck a new caster an. You'd be surprised how much nicer it works than a waoden block, with the nail heads catching in the linoleum. One of the mast demacratîc places in Bowmanville is the A & P Store.

The clerks move like chain ligbt- ning, are caurteous, pleasant and friendly. It is ane place where you really do get "service with a smile." A couple of weeks aga, Bill Rennie decided ta fetch a pail of water from the tawn pump after hie had been vigorausly shavelling snaw for a couple of haurs. Haif- way across the street, Bill black- ed aut, fell an the pail, hurting bis chest. After a few hours' rest in bcd, bie felt able ta attend ta bis hardware business. (Being Scotch, be bates ta miss the baw- becs.) Physicians are conti n u a ily warning people aver fifty ta watch aver-exertion while shov- elling snaw, yet here is a case wbere tragedy could have easily struck.

Miss Jean Perrin, Mr. Bihl Mor- ley, Mr. and Mrs.- W. Farrow, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Turner, Providence, had supper with Mr. and Mrs. T. Wilson on Saturday running stream in Maine, observ- cd some young beavers building a dam.- Thcy buiît tbrec different types o! dams in 'an %ifort ta construct one that would flot wasb away, but wîthout succcss. Mr. Ogden told bis partner that be thought the beavers could flot possibly succeed. But his part- ner argued that yaung beavers often wcnt ta other locations ta obtain the services of alder more cxpcricnced dam builders when their own efforts were fruitlcss. Sure enough, a fcw days later, they abserved a strange, big beaver, sa old he was grey around the muzzlc, with the twa front feet missing, indicating he had been caught in man-made traps a couple o! times. The ohd fcllow wauld smack the water with bis tail and the other bea- vers would move off ta various jobs, as if under direction, cutting material into the dam. The aid buck moved araund among themn. nat taking part in the work but evidently superinteding it. In a few days the dam was eompleted. This time, despite heavy rains and bigh water, it stayed. Mr. Ogden wînds up bis in- teresting yarn with these words "I neyer saw the old beaver agcain I guess he went back home when bis job was finisbed.
