Sam at Queen's Park (continued from page 4) At present the Federal .Government appears to be pursuing a policy of across the board cuts which result in the Provinces, whose resources are already strapped, strapped, being forced to pick up the pieces. Ottawa has already backed out of a program program of grants to help communities communities improve services. They are proposing reductions reductions which will reduce the quality of healthcare and education, not just in Ontario, Ontario, but throughout Canada. Again the Federal Government Government is not doing enough to encourage real growth and, development. The Board of Industrial Leadership and Development, the BILD program, program, has not received support. support. from Ottawa. If this program is to be truely effective, effective, the Federal Government must be ready to co-operate. These are just not provincial provincial concerns. The concerns that Frank Miller is talking about are national concerns. Not only is Ontario's future at stake - Canada's future is at stake as well. In the meantime, the Ontario Ontario Government is going ahead with programs which meet the needs of our people. In the 1981 spending program program are allocations for new day care nurseries, a renovation renovation and expansion program for homes for the ' aged, assistance towards the construction construction of 15,000 new rental units and a $2 million program program to help municipalities maintain their drainage systems and encourage agricultural drainage. The commitment to the Darlington Generating Station's Station's continued construction was also emphasized. On the whole, the new budget is a sensible plan for economic management. By reducing the provincial government's share of the Ontario economy, the results of growth and development will be channelled into areas where they are needed most - into jobs, business expansion, expansion, increased returns on investment investment and community growth. Of course, it was not a great ray of sunshine, however, it could have been worse! I would like to mention that the Liquor Control ' Board of Ontario has tendered a contract for the preparation of the site for their new Durham Regional warehouse. Contractors interested interested in the tender must ssubmit bids to Giffels Associates Ltd., 30 International International Blvd., Rexdale, Ont. M9W 5P3. Questions regarding regarding the work should be directed to Mr. A.E. Dyer, 675-595,0 at the Project-Site Manager's Office. My congratulations to the Board of the Bowmanville Mùseum on the celebration of their 20th anniversary. Congratulations also to John Humphries, President of the Durham Law Association Association on a very fine Ladies Night at the Oshawa Golf Club and to Laura Collins in her continued effort in spearheading the, need for a large community centre in North Oshawa. Future of Pine Ridge coming' soon The Pine Ridge Training School which was closed in 1979 because of a change in , provincial policy may soon be , up for sale says MPP Sam ' Cureatz. - In the past, the Town of Newcastle had considered asking for the property for an administrative centre but the province turned down it's request request to buy the property for the nominal sum of $2.00. Cureatz said the Ministry of Agriculture was asked whether it wants to use the western portion of the school property and it has informed him that it is not interested. Past Noble Grands entertain On Tuesday evening the Past Noble Grands entertained entertained the Past Noble Grands Club of Beehive Bowmanvile to a delicious supper. Club 62 held a short meeting. Sister Isabelle opened opened the meeting by repeating the Lords prayer. The minutes of the last .meeting were read and approved and However, the Ministry of Agriculture said that it ei- pects to use the eastern portion portion for farming. Cureatz said because of this the 105 acres and 10 buildings valued at $1.6 million will go out to tender soon. Participation House has said it would like to use the land and. buildings as a hdme. for the disabled. Another gïoup^is interested in using the property for a Christian Redeemer College.

The high lady for the evening drug use in schools on increase li has been stated that the answer to drug and alcohol abuse is education. Constable John Logan of Durham Regional Police did his own survey among senior public schools and high schools concerning the topic of drug abuse and found that It's use among pre-teens Is on the Increase. Logan concluded from his survey that one out of nine Grade 7 students have tried marijuana; one out of five Grade 8 students have tried it; and 18 out of 20 Grade 11 students have tried, 8 have admitted continuous use. Logan said "All drugs seem to peak at this grade except except alcohol which keeps increasing increasing after Grade 11." He also said that It will never be stopped completely but he believes education will change some kids minds. The Durham Police .force - now has 3 officers providing drug education programs to approximately 45,000 school children. As well Oshawa General Hospital's Pinewood Centre is starting a program to treat teenagers with drug problems. The Durham Board of Education heard a presentation presentation from the Regional Youth Advisory Committee which told them many students are unable to cope with school work and fall tests because of drugs. Joanne Gordon and Paul Arthurs, members of the Regional Youth Advisory committee and student of O'Neill Collegiate said more education should be provided and Information in schools for students and parents If the abuse problem Is to decline. Grodon, chairman of the advisory committee said kids smoking pot in the smoking area is "no big deal", and she knows of students who walk to a bar downtown for a drink during lunch hour. Gordon told the Board of a. new program started at the school where students counsel other students who have s drug problem. Kids like to talk to someone their own age and peer counsellors usually refer the student to trained people for help, said Gordon. After hearing that a survey of the public showed 95 percent percent of people questioned feel schools should be providing education about alcohol and drug abuse, the Durham Trustees approved a .plan calling for a tougher stance on enforcing discipline as it effects alcohol or drug offenders offenders at school, more education on substance abuse for teachers, counsellors, and administrators, and compulsory compulsory abuse education established In the health curriculum. curriculum.
