This Friday the entire schiool has been asked to participate in a Runi- a-thon being held to raise funds for the school athletic teams. And speaking of fundraising the Clarke Senior Concert Band will be holding a "Ramn or Shine" Car Wash in Orono on Saturday. Band members are selling tickets in advance and at the car wash itself to be held at Armstrongs IGA from Gord's View Gord Milîs MPP Durham East Should we allow alcohol advertising on radio and T.V.? The AddictionResearch Council1 says alcohol ads encourage the use of a harmful and addictive substance, especially among teenagers. They want the CRTC to extend the current ban on liard liquor advertising to cover beer, wine and wine cooler ads. The Canadian Distillers Association asks whether there would be any benefit to banning ads, and whether the people who are saying that we shouldnt do this can demonstrate that it would have a positive effect in reducing abusive drinking. The Institute of Canadian Advertising says there is a tendency to make ovcrly simple, blanket statements, on the subject. This is substantiated to a degree by the Addiction Research Foundation who reviewed ail available researchi data in 1988, and found the evidence that indicated advertising bans do not reduce sales of alcohol. Having, said ail of thiat, lets be like Sgt. Bill Friday of Dragnet - "just the facts mam.' Alcohol is the direct contributor in 12 to 25 per cent of al death's in Canada. Its involved in 40 to 50 per cent of al accidents involving persona] injury. Clarkes Grade 9 Welcome Day was a huge success with over 90% of ail grade 9 students participating in the day's activities and the evenin g's dance. 10: 00 a.m. to 4: 00 p.m. The next big fundraiser wvill be the Clarke "Cow Plop".

Youre perhaps 85 per cent more likely to contract some formn of cancer - shahid we continue? Okay, imderneath, there's the issue of what it does to society. Alcohol is as a mile associated with domestic, violence, and with violence against womnen. Every year, about 400,000 young people reach legal drinking age. They mean a new pool of new drinkers that the industry reaches out to. Television is a remnarkably potent communicator with everybody, youth in particular. So do we say we should try to stop al the self-înflicted pain-should we stop ail television alcohol advertising? If this is done, would it be an infringement on the right to free speech? Would it be censorship? Would it smack of Big Brother? We know alcohiol is abused in our society, but so are credit cards and over the counter pharmaceuticals. Should we ban advertising those produicts? Shiah we control society totally? Alcohiol lias a enormous impact on our Newton Ville applicatifOn A public heaFing was held on Monday of a rpvised rezoning application by Michael Gimblett on behaif of Ross Brown for two residential lots in Newtonville west of the Newtonvill§.-Kendal Road.
