The new north bo-undary would reach north to highway 401 while the western boun- dary would extend to the sîderoad of Bauich Motors. Tt ,was feit at the meeting that Port Hope would need this land prior to any restruc- turing that may take place through restructuring of the county. Port Hope would like to see the easternl boundary of the Town be pushed ont to the Theatre road. This area presently belongs to Hamilton Township and no meeting has been held in this matter between Hamilton and Port Hope. A recent survey conducted in H-amnilton Township by the council showed that the ma- jority of citizens favoured no change in the municipaiity. They carried a majority against annexation, amalga- mation or restructuring of the counlty. The council received a forty percent return of the question- aire. CANAD IAN DRUG SCENE "DECEPTIVELY QUITE" The apparent quiteness of the current Canadian drug scenle is deceptive and cannot justify, Canadian government inaction on the recommenda- tions of the Le'D'am Commis- sion, Dr. J. Robertso)n Unwin, bias charged. Dr. Urwini is director, Allan Memoriai Institute of Psychi- atry, Montreal, and an inter- nationally recognized authQr ity in the aicohol and drug field. "No,)sleight-of-hand trick will conceai governmenta' do-nothingness", he toid a twc day symposium in MWontreal on Alcohoiism and Drug abuse sponosored by McGill University and the Miontreal General Hospital. "This tendency is not new witb respect to government commissions. Exactly tbe saine fate bas met the (US) National Commission on Mar- ijuana and Drug Abuse". He said tbe reason tbe current scenle aPPEARS QUIETER 15 SIMPLY THAT FEWER DRUG+RELATED CRISIS ARE PRESENTING at dinics and there is less media attention to the prob- lem as a whole. What can bappen when controis are estabiisbed and exercîsed was evidenced' in tbe first six mnonths of 1973 when there was a 90 percent rdcinin tbe use of ampbetamines against a simi- lar precontrôl period in 1972, be said. Although Dr, Unwin made no pretense of an amniscient view of tbe current drug situation, he did provide a random survey.

The drift is to legally available drugs, mainly downers, e.g. alcohol, seda- tives, imethaqualone." Mlost aiarming, he said, is the steep increase in the use of alcohol by bigh school 'stu- dents. "At present, more thanl one percent of 16 year old Toronto h ig-h sehool students are chronic alcohiolics, one study has shown.I ."fironically, Dr. Ralphi Mil- ler, research director for the LeDain Commission. has In- dicated that bootieg liquor, espec.liy in Mlontreai, is a significant problem." Dr. Unwin reported an increase in the use of canna- bis in Canada, a probable decrease in the use of haîlucinogens, and a signifi- cant spread of cannabis use amrong aduits. There is also an increase in narcotics use, hie said, but a reverse drift to a younger group.

"The youtb of the 60s have taken their taste for cannabis into later years. Hlerion convictions nearly doubied between 1971 and 1972 and cocaine convictions more than doubled.* "The Federai Bureau of Dangerous Drugs in Ottawa had, at the end of 1973, files on 63,378 known. cannabis users aznd 10,250 files 1 on known users of illicit narcotics in Canada.
