OCT. 3rd, 1974 Second Class Mail Registration Number 6368 Published Every Wednesday At the Office of Publicatic SUBSCRIPTION RATES Canada $3.00 U.S.A. $4.50 ion IT'S EVERYBODYS BUSINESS It has often been said "if you drink, that's your business, but if you drink and drive, that's everybody's business." This does become a concern of eberyone especially when statistics show that approxiamately 50 percent of alI fatalities in road accidents in Canada involved drinking. Judge D. B. Dodds of the provincial criminal court in Oshawa states that drunk driving is a rising social problem. Provincial Judge R. B. Baxter commnented recently, in Bowmanville court that if drunk driving continued to appear on the docket, the court may have to revert to imposing jail terms, "as fines do not seem to be a detreent. " 1 A new experimental programn is now in the works for Durham drivers, called Drivinig While Intoxicated. Second offenders will now be order to enrol in the course which is in addition to their fine and loss of licence. The course is not- designed to stop drinking but rather to stop him driving when he has had too much to drink. Whether or not the programa will succeed will flot-be known for some time, but it is an' effort.1 We have always contended however the only thing that does matter is a heavy fine and a considerable time.to be without a automobile. It would seemn realistic that if a driver endangers others travelling on the highways through drinking then his or her penalty could at least be a return to the old shoe leather for at least -a year.' If the driver is a menace, and many are even flot knowing it, then off the road to protect the safety of others. DAVIS NOW IN ASPOT Premier' Davis is now in a spot with not oly the teachers down is back but possibly the entire civil service. Wage demands from the latter are, quite sîzeable ýand no matter what the decîsion somneone is not going to be satisfied, the civil service or the general public when they corne to pay the bill. Davis mu st now regard that he will within a short period of trne be coming to the country for a renewal of his mandate. He can hardly have both the teachers and the civil servant on hus back at the same time. Look for mare give than take from Dvi in this matter. Kirby News Mr. John Van Neijenhûis of University of Waterloo spent- the weekend at home. Louise is attending' University at Michigan. Mrs. C. Lowery went on the bus tip with Shilo U.C.W. to Oshawa Shopping CeAtire and McLaughlins last Wednesday. Some from the community attended the ploughîng match at Georgetown last week.

AREA SCHOOL ENROLMENT DOWN The total drop in enrolment in the elementary and second- ary sehools this year in the Nortbumberland and New- castle area numbers only a few fifty-five students in comparison to that of 1973. The decline in enirolment is. noted chiefly in elementary schools of which there are fifty-five. The figure this year iý set at 14,372 sudents compared with 14,550 in 1973. The enrolment of the second- ary schools increased to 7,497 this year compared to 7,374 in 1973. Enrolment in the schools for the retrainable retarded rests at 84, the same as last year.
