Rotary Speaker Says DJru g Abuse is Well- Controlled Here in Ont ario Otario's alcohol and drug abuse programs are among the best la the world, concludes a spokesman from Alcohol and Drug Concerns Incorporated after visiting 17 different programs la seven European countries. David Reeve, executive director of the Toronto-based ageacy, was the recipient of a Rotary International Travel and Study Awarçl. Mr. Reeve, wbo was guest speaker at the Bowmanville Rotary Club last week, spent two mnonths travelling throughout Europe to study how other countries handled the growing problem of drug and aicobol abuse. Major Problem Next to cancer and heart disease, alcoholism ranks third among the world's physicai health problems, said Mr. Reeve, adding that the problems of aicoholism and drug abuse are not being givea the recognition and concera they should. Minister of Cliffrest United Cburch la Scarborough, Mr. Reeve was awarded the Rotary's travel scholarship by the Scarborough Rotary Club. He told Rotarians that alcoholism la Britain bas risen 37 per cent over a five year period because of the ecoaomic problems faced by its citizens, and the liberaliza- tion of alcohol laws. A lack of a central co-ordinating body to implement alcohol abuse programs bas prevented health officials from effective- ly dealiag witb aicobolism, he said. Holland too is experieacing difficulties la the field of aicobol and drug abuse programs, said Mr. Reeve. He said an official from the Fouadation for the Study of Alcohol and Drugs told hlm that la Holland, "we don't attack drug problems, we dlean up the mess around the edges, as long as the person isn't la serlous trouble, or causing others harm, notbîng is done."
