Resident 'Predicts
A Rural Slum
Unless the Pickering Town
Council and the Federal and
Provincial Governments
make a determined effort to
do something positive until a
firm decision is made
regarding the Airport and
Cedarwood, North Pickering
will certainly rapidly decline
into a rural slum, claims
John Livingstone - a resident
of Locust Hill. In a letter
addressed to several
newspapers in the area Mr.
Livingstone states that
"since the governments

have expropriated the land
and homes the land has gone
into rapid decline of weeds,
building deterioration and
community indifference."
He says "most long term
residents have moved away,
and in the Cedarwood region
tenatns are moving into
properties that have always
been owner -occupied. With
final expropriation the whole
area will then be totally
tenant -occupied and there
will be no one with any roots
Mr. Livingstone continues
"Empty beer bottles strewn
along the fifth concession
and dead end sideroads tell a
silent story if illicit guzzling.
There are rumours that the
hill climbing motor cyclists
will soon be gathering in the
old gravel pit between the
fourth and fifth concessions.
If this -is taue, the rancous
ear- splitting din from their
open mufflers will definitely
add to the deterioration of
the community and no-one
with any respect for shlence
will want to live within two
miles of that area".
At Pickering Council this
week Councillor Jack An-
derson said that he had
received some 22 calls over
the last weekend coneern. 9
,his type of problem. He said
'hat then has been coo-
-:derabbe damage to vacant
and properties. These
:properties have been ex-
propriated, he said, and
therefore the Province
,hould police the area.
ouncillor Anderson then put
forward a successful motion
suggesting that 'the
Province should be
requested to set up security
system in the North
Pickering arra similar to the
Federal Government system
in the Airport site.
No Deviation Allowed From Site Plan Agreement

time now.

Council this week passed a

regarding increased rates

Councillor Alex Robertson
noted that at the Ajax and
the Art Thompson arenas
there is no charge for

were necessary for
Pickering to charge schools
for the use of the arenas.
Councillor Bruce Searle
said that he had also been

thought it possible to dif-

having a charge that could
be waived under certain

Opinion
Another Mistake
The federal budget has been brought down by the Hon. John
Turner and the opposition parties appear to be dissatified to
the point where they will not support the Liberal government
any longer.
We concede that the budget has no overnight solutions to
many of our problems, but it has attempted to assist those at
the bottom of the economic ladderwhile taking it away from
the rich.
Mr. Turner is obvioush• convinced that the rapidly-
hxTeasing inflation trend has been slowed and will soon be at
a normal pace.
The New Democrats are complaining about the lack of
government intervention into the excessively high profits of
some corporations and the Progressive Conservatives are
using the lack of sufficient anti-inflationary measures to call
for an election.
An election right now would be a decided mistake however,
as in our opinion, the public hasn't noticeably changed its
mind from the last election. A new election precipitaled by
the NCP could result very easily in that party losing some
seats at the next vote. The Conservatives similarly are not
really in a position to gain more seats. The price and wage
control platform is not receiving much acclaim and Robert
Stanfield's ability to lead a government is still debated in
many areas.
Any independent observer of Parliament during the last 18
months world state that this minority government seems to
have given very good government with the only weaknesses
still in the manpower and immigration department_ Un-
fortunately, the mess left by Bruce Mackasy, has not been
corrected completely by the Hon. Robert Andras.
If we are to accept Progressive Conservative arguments
about how to handle the economy. then we will have to be
prepared to accept price and wage controls, which have
proved to be unworkable both in the U-S.A. and Britain. A
visit to the U.K. would convince anyone that we Canadians
are very fortunate people. The statistical facts show that our
inflation has been contained better than anywhere else in the
Western World.
Why is there inflation' Well the recent large increase has hit
us in a delayed rebound from other lands. Economically
expanding countries. -such as Japan, have created a great
demand for food and other products. Our food production
couldn't handle the demand because farmers have been
leaving their work due to a return which is too low. Then the
oil crisis hit us, and petroleum affects a vast number of
commonly -used products - clothing and food to name only
two.
The federal government's best work has been to give en-
couragement to more food production and redistribute
money to those on less income. People from the U.S. and
Britain are envious of how well we've handled this phase of
our economy.
The Liberal government's biggest deficit is its handling of
manpower and immigration, but it is attempting to correct
the errors of the past.
Let's take a look at the New Democrats' arguments. They
feel that the Liberals have allowed corporations to reap
larger profits at a time when poor people are getting poorer.
This is an area where your political philosophy comes out.
We don't believe that socialist governments have produced
more food or goods for its people. The oil companies have
argued for much more profits in order to get money for
further oil developments. If they use their profits for this
work then it would be a benefit to everyone generally.
Previously development money came from the sale of shares
to the public but this source is a pparently drying up.
If the opposition parties force an election they are not
reflecting a need from the general public.

New Tax Unfair To Rural People
The Editor.
The POST,
Pickering, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
The land speculation rare recently tabled at Queen's
Park is cruel legislation which heavily penalizes thousands of
rural land owning Ontario residents whom I suspect have no
idea that they are being acted against. When the law is
passed, these people will find they are subject to a tax of 50%
on their lands when solei. The tax will be in addition to any
capital gains tax they have to pay the Federal Government_
All of this amounts to expropriation of lands with little
compensa tion.
The following is a partial list of properties which are
taxable:
1 t All lands owned by rural residents, unless the property is
smaller than ten acres and is lived on. If it is lived on and
greater than ten acres then it becomes taxable.
2) With few exceptions all rural income producing properties
which are not a place of residence.
The tax is unfair to farmers, lumbermen and other
rural people who have worked all their lives on their lands
and have their life savings tied up in this asset. You really
have to stretch the imagination far to classify them as land
speculators, as the title of the bill suggests.
The government has stated that they intend on
driving the price of real estate down by passing the land
speculation tax and another tax of 20% if a rural resident
sells any of his property to a foreigner. This, of course, will
enable the government to buy rural lands at cheap prices.
They have also conveniently worded the legislation to read
that if land is sold to the Crown instead of private persons, the
tax will not be payable. The government will now be in a
position to force the farmer or lu nberman to sell his land to
them.
Land speculation and skyrocketing house prices is
strictly a city problem. This being the case, why should the
farmer and the rural resident have to suffer because of the
situation in the big cities and surrounding areas' It is unfair
to harness country people with this legislation. These laws
should only cover certain cities and towns and not the whole
province.
Yours truly,
Marvin Lee,
140 Erksine Ave.,
Apt. 2818, Toronto.
Summer Enterprises Aided By Loans
Enterprising students who would like the opportunity to
work for themselves this summer may get their chance,
thanks to "Venture Capital," part of the Ontario Govern-
ment's "ExperiencO '74" summer employment program.
Students who qualify will receive financial assistance in
setting up their own small businesses for the summer
months. It comes in the form of interest-free loans, up to
$1,000 per venture.
"Venture Capital" is administered by the Ministry of
Colleges and Universities with the assistance of the Ontario
Chambers of Commerce and the Royal Ba nk of Canada.
Interested students s elect a venture and prepare an analysis
of its business potential with the help of members of the local
Chamber of Commerce. These analyses are forwarded to a
provincial panel for approval.
Successful applicants then receive an interest-free loan to
cover the starting costs of their operation. The loans arefree
of interest fortheduration of the project All monies made by
thes tudents. after expenses are paid, remain them own.

Difference Narrowed In Pay Rates
That the difference between average Canadian and United
States labour income was almost cut in half during the 1960's
is one of the trends indicated in a study of labour income
released today by Labour Canada.
The report says that while labour income per worker in the
U.S. exceeded that in Canada by 21.8 percent in 1%1, the
difference was done to 12.7 percent by 1971.
Titled "Canadian Labour Income - Recent Trends, The
Current Picture", the 54 -page report covers the period 1961 to
1972.
The report contains new data compiled since the publication
of two earlier reports prepared,in the Department, "The
Behaviour of Canadian Wages and Salaries in the Postwar
Period" and "Wages in Canada and the United States, an
Analytical Comparison "
The report says that the wage differential between skilled
and unskilled jobs appears to have been fairly stable since
1960. in contrast to a distinct narrowing in the immediate
postwar years.
There was also little change in the structure of industrial
wage differentials, except the wages in construction rose
more than wages in other industries.
The pattern of regional and provincial differentials within
Canada was almost the same in 1972 as in 1965, notes the
report.
Average weekly earnings in British Columbia continued to
be 10 percent above the average, while in the Atlantic region
they were a bout 16 percent below, with Quebec three to four
percent below, Ontario about four percent above, and the
Prairie provinces about four and one-half percent below the
average.
The report does not try to explain the existing wage
structureorchangesin it, although departmental research is
continuing into these and other aspects of wage behaviour.
a ssis to nce a re limited only by the imagination of the students
a ndcurrent market conditions in thelocality. Preference will
begiven to those projects that do not compete directly with
business es already established in a given community.
Examples range from cutting firewoodio taking baby pic-
tures and might include landscaping, house painting, pet
care or even vegetable farming.
The main thrust of "Venture Capital" is to give community
college and university students a chance to gain valuable
business experience and, hopefully, to earn money at the
same time. The amount of remuneration gained will hinge
directly on the amount of planning and effort students put
into their businesses.
To ensure that ventures are operated in a business -like
fashion. students will utilize a standard record system and
prepare periodic progress reports. In addition, a local group
of businessmen will make themselves available to students
as consultants.
"Venture Capital" is only one of many projects that
together make up the Ontario Government's "Experience
'74" summer employment program. Designed to provide
over 7,000 experience -oriented summer jobs to Ontario
students, "Experience '74" is co-ordinated by the Ontario
-Youth Secretariat with individual projects administered by
the various Ministries of the Ontario Government.
Reclamation
Bernard Newman (Liberal MPP for Windsor-Walkerville)
has introduced a Private Member's Bill to establish an
Ontario Waste Disposal and Reclamation Commission.
"The Bill proposes a utility similar to the Hydro Com-
mission, to provide solid waste disposal and reclamation
services throught the Province, including incineration and
landfill", said Mr. Newman.
"Municipalities which do not have the financial resources
for elaborate waste collection systems would be assisted by
the Provincial Government, through the Commission, in
much the same way as municipalities receive Provincial
assistance with other projects.

How, When, What, Where To Fish Ontario Waters
All anglers, when heading
for new territory, ask the
same questions. What
species of fish will they
encounter, where will they
find them, what is the best
time of year to fish for them
and what bait and tackle is
most likely to result in a
rewarding creel?
These questions are cer-
to inly a sked by a ll fishermen
visiting Ontario for the first
time. But here it's a bit
tougher to come up with the
answers.
Boasting 250,000 lakes and
as many rivers and streams,
Grubs 8 Weeds
properly fertilized grass gets
a jump on weeds in the
spring, and then about the
only problem is grub activity
which reduces the vitality of
the grass to a point where it
cannot compete.
The first indication of grub
activity is brown patches in
the lawn. These spots will
quickly fill with weeds. To
make certain this doesn't
happen, treat those patches
with a good grub killer such
as "CIL Chlordane Ant &
Grub Killer". Th is should be
done early in the season, and
will likely have to be
repeated every two or three
years as the lawn can be re-
infected from nearby in-
fested areas.
If brown patches developed
in the lawn last fall, par-
ticularly after the dry season
in July, it is necessary to

the province offers a
fisherman's heaven that's
hard to beat The variety of
sport fish and the wide
habitat range of most of
them make it impossible to
list all the hotspots and local
bait preferences. But, there
are time-honored - or just -
discovered -spots for the nine
most -often -sought sport fish
and tips that will help get the
most from a fishing trip.
If you have chosen to seek
that most savage of all
Ontario fish, the
maskinonge, or muskie,
proper tackle is of prime
importance. Unless an
angler is familiar with these
fight -crazed fish - which
often top 40 pounds - he is
advised to use line testing 30
pounds and up. Best month
for muskie fishing is Sep-
tember, with June a close
second. Most productive
method is trolling a large
sucker or jointed plug of
from six to 15 inches in
length.
Muskies range through the
Kawartha Lakes. Lake
Nipissing. Lake St. Clair and
Lake of the Woods in nor-
thwestern Ontario. The real
die-hard muskie fisherman
has added to his fun by
turning to the lighter 12-14
pound test lime, spinning
gear and bucktad spinners
for near -the -surface casting
action.
One of the province's easier
sport fish to catch, but one
nevertheless which should
never be maligned, is the
ever -abundant northern
pike, fast cousin to the
muskie. Pike are wide-
spread across the province
and are really tops in the
Georgian Bay, Savant Lake,
Red Lake, Pickle Lake and
Kenora areas. They can be
caught nearly any time of
the year with spinning gear
and varying sizes of wob-
bling spoons the favored
tackle.
Walleyes, often incorrectly
thought to be part of the pike
family and misnamed
pickerel, are considered by
most to be the tastiest of
Ontario's sport fish Trout
fanciers put up a good
argument but it's hard to
argue with a fresh -caught
walleye fillet, dipped in egg,
rolled in cracker crumbs and
fried over an open fire.
These golden members of
the perch family are at their
best in May and early June
in the Lake Nipissing, Lac
des Mitles Lacs, Thunder
Bay and Lake of the Woods
areas. Spinning gear and
minnows account for the
majority of the limit catches.
None of Ontario's trout
could win preference over
the others, as all offer top
sport at different times, at
different places and with
different methods
The spring run of rainbow
trout in the Georgian Bay
area is renowned. Also
popular are streams running
into Lake Superior and Lake
Huron itself. Another run in
the fall offers equal fishing
opportunities and action.
Spinning gear with spawn
bags or small spinners
usually results in rainbows
taking to the air with never -
to -be -forgotten attempts to
throw the hook.
Brock trout, or speckled
trout, are tops in the spring
but can also be found in good
fighting spirit when the
waters again turn cool in late
summer and early fall. With
these scrappy trout the fly
fisherman comes into his
own. Here's the real
challenge for him.
Found in the greatest
numbers throughout
Algonquin Park in the south
as well as the Lake Nipigon
area, this colorful and tasty
trout fats equally as often to
the spin fisherman. .
Lake trout are the lunkers
of their family. While not
usually known for out-
standing fighting ability,
lakers redeem themselves
with outstanding size.
Most abundant in the North
Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and
Kenora areas, lakers are
sought twice during the year
and by two fishing methods.
In early spring, just after
ice -out, these fish can be
taken near the surface on
rocky shoals with spinning
lures. Later, during the
summer, it requires wire
line, trolling tackle and large
spoons and minnows to
entice them from the deep
cool waters in which they
seek refuge.
For the man who has
refused to change from his
tried and true level -wind
casting outfit to the newer
spinning and spin -cast
outfits. the large -mouth bass
is ready-made. Hitting
mainly on noisy surface
lures or live frogs cast
among the lily pads, the
largemouth provides un-
forgettable top -water antics.
The really hot weather of
mid -summer finds the
largemouth addict heading
for Georgian Bay and the
Rideau Lakes, haunt of
Ontario's greatest
largemouth population.
Smallmouth bass, again,
are most often sought in mid-
summer. There aren't many
baits or lures this fish won't
take but favorites include
spinners. worms, crayfish
and minnows. Hotspots
include the Kawa rtha Lakes,
Long Point Bay in Lake Erie,
Pelee Island and Lake
Simcce. Spinning gear is the
answer for more fighting
action with these popular
game fish.
The list of sport fah to be
caught in Ontario doesn't
end here. There are
whitefish, herring. perch,
smelt, catfish, bullheads and
more.

"mrs. May 9th, 1974 THE POST
Report From Queen's Park by William Newman,
M.P.P. Ontario South
Living in Ontario South, we are influenced greatly by
Metropolitan Toronto, and, as such, have felt the squeeze of
inflation not only at the grocery store and in clothing our
families, but in the cost of housing.
Recognizing that inflation is a serious problem, Ontario's
1974 Budget takes definite steps to:
- offset the effects of inflation;
restrain inflation;
- stimulate supply;
-
share with the public
the profits from
inflation;
- share resources with local
governments.
Firstly, in an effort to stablize land prices and recover for
the public a major share of windfall gains from land
speculation, a land speculation tax went into effect April
loth. This tax imposts an additional 50% tax on the increase
Invaluerealized on the sale of land. Over and above this tax,
normal personal and corporate income taxes will apply.
I am pleased to see this tax come into effect as it should be
effective in discouraging the buying and re -selling of
properties without any real value being added. I must add,
.however, that it is not the Ontario government's intention to
discourage development and construction of industrial,
commercial or residential buildings.The following exemp-
tions, therefore, have been provided for:
- sale of property for commercial and industrial purposes;
property where the vendor has complied with a sub-
division agreement or has bought serviced land and con-
structed residential or commercial premises;
- homeowners are exempt for their principal residence
including 10 acres of land;
-family farms a re exempt when they are transferred within
the family and continue in agricultural use.
Control of another aspect of rising land prices, i.e. large-
scale acquisition of land by non -Canadians, will be controlled
by a land transfer tax. Non-residents purchasing property in
Ontario are now taxed at 20%. More specific details of both
these taxes are included in the budget which can be obtained
from the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Inter -
Governmental -Affairs, Frost Building, Toronto.
Last year, Ontario municipalities received directly large
provincial grants that enabled them to either hold the line in
property taxes or reduce them. This trend is continued this
year with the Property Tax Stabilization Program. The total
amount of the provincial grants is $124 million, and will hold
property tax increases to an average of 3.2% instead of 10%
across the province.
Being located in the Regional Municipality of Durham, the
municipality receives a property tax stabilization grant
while the three lower tier municipalities receive separate
grants over and above the regional one. I thought it would be
of interest t o y ou to see w ha t these estimated grants a re:
Durham $743,000
Ajax $590.000
Picken ng $571,000
Whitby $703,000
There are many more details of the budget that I would like
to discuss with you: the GAINS program, increased tax
credits. more exemptions in retail sales tax, increased
mining and timber taxes. I will talk about these in next
week's column.
I began discussing with you in last week's column parts of
Ontario's 1974 budget, specifically thosedesignedto curb the
rising cost of land and housing. The land speculation tax, the
land transfer tax and the Property Tax Stabilization
Program will affect Ontario citizens indirectly; the budget,
however, does contain many other measures that will
benefit us directly.
By the beginning of May, we should a Il notice a difference in
our drugstore and grocery bills. The retail sales tax will be
removed from any cleaning and personal hygiene items.
Retail sales tax will also be removed from shoes and other
footwear costing less than $30. It is estimated that this will
include most children's shoes as well as lower priced skates

and other athletic footwear. It is important to note that
Ontario's exemptions are more extensive than those granted
by any other Canadian province exploying sales tax.
I was particularly pleased for the senior citizens in Ontario
South to hear Ontario's new Guaranteed Annual Income
System (GAINS) announced in the budget. GAINS will
guarantee an income of $50 a week for all single persons and
`$100a week for a ll married coupies wh o a re a ged 65 a nd over.
GAINS will also apply to those who are blind or disabled and
receiving Family Benefits. Under the program, a single
pensioner with no private income would receive Old Age
Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement for a total of
;191.06/ month. GAINS would contribute another $25.61 for a
total of $216.67 a month. Magi edpensioners, alsowith no
private income, would receive $433.33 a month.
Single pensioners, therefore, have a guaranteed income of
$2,6000 a year and couple, $5,200 a year. This represents the
highest guaranteed income for senior citizens. The fust
GAINS cheques will be mailed in July this year.
Senior citizen's income will also be augmented by a new
program for prescription drugs. Starting in September, all
those receiving the Guaranteed Income Supplement (and
Provincial assistance programmes) will receive free
prescription drugs. I know how costly prescriptions can be
and welcome this step by the Ontario government.
Other highlights of the budget are: (1) the property tax
credit will be doubled to $180; (2) the Pensioner Credit will be
increased to $110 - Financial support of public transit in-
creases to 50% of operating losses; (3) Venture Investment
Corporations will help small businesses to obtain, at
reasonable cost, venture equity capital; (4) Ontario citizens
will receive a larger share of profits from mining and
forestry resources through new mining and timber taxes.
I am very pleased with Ontario's L%4 budget. It is an
example of the Ontario government's determination to take
forceful action against inflation As Treasurer John White
said when presenting the budget, "The Government of
Ontario is willing to use every practical measure ... to
combat inflation. This is our promise and this is our
challenge."

Councillor Don Kitchen said
that the main reason Mr.
Willis is leaving is because of
his health. On his Doctor's
advice he is apparently
going into consulting, and
hopefully this work will not
be quite as pressing as his
present work for the Town.
Both Councillor Kitchen and
Mayor George Ashe said that
they wished Mr. Willis every
success in his new field, and
the best of health in the
future.
Another reason for changes
in a lot of Pickering Staff,
Councillor Kitchen said, is
that under Regional
Government the respon-
sibilities left with the local
municipalities have been
diminished and therefore
there is no longer such a
great challenge at the local
level.
Mayor Ashe noted that
while many local municipal
employees are now em-
ployed by the Region, the
local municipalities should
still be able to benefit from
their expertise, but not in
quite such a direct manner.

New Agreement Between Pickering
And Board Of Education
A 1971 Agreement between
the Corporation of the
Township of Pickering and
the Ontario County Board of
Education concerning the
-construction and main-
tenance of a swimming pool
at Dunbarton High School
has been amended by the
Council of the Town of
Pickering and the Durham
Board of Education.
Mayor George Ashe ex-
plained that under the
original agreement there
was provision for the School
Board to pay percentage on
the hours of use and costs of
running the pool. Several
differences arose out of this
on how the pool should be
run, and related expenses.
The School Board presently
operates the Vanier Pool in
Oshawa, and under the
amended Agreement they
will submit audited costs for
the Vanier Pool and will pay
that cost plus 10% for the
Dunbarton Pool.
Prehistoric Monuments
A Continent Apart
In Europe these simple forms of megalithic tombs can usually be guaranteed to intrigue
Canadians visiting the old continent for the first time. Called dolmens, they consist of large
capstones and three or more supporting uprights. The two examples pictured here in photos by
Jack N. Oldham were taken a continent apart. Top, a tourist examines one in a farm field in
southern Ireland where they are often called Giants' Tables of Druids' Altars. Below is the
Strandza dolmen in the garden of the museum at Bourgas on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast. It was
moved to the s ite f rom a small Bulgarian Village to preserve it. Dolmens such as this were used
by theThracians for tombs around the 8th and 7th centures B.C. Dolmen capstones are often of
enormous size, giving rise to wonder about how they were ever placed in position. A dolmen a t
Kilternan, Co. Dublin. Ireland, for example, has a capstone measuring 23 feet long by 17 feet
wide by six feet thick.

TODAY'S HEALTH
Alcohol abuse
creeps up on you
by David Woods
Oscar Wilde said that work is
the curse of the drinking classes.
What he couldn't have foreseen was
that this piece of wit would ring
rather hollow in 1974.
Today, more people are drinking
more. When the province of Ontario
lowered the legal drinking age from
21 to 18, it increased the number of
drinkers by eight per Fent.
In Ontario, alcohol plays a part
in half of all auto accidents, ac-
counts for hundreds of thousands
of man-hours annual absenteeism
from -work, and for more than 10
per cent of all hospital costs.
This is not to suggest that anyone
who takes an occasional drink is on
the road to ruin. But the step from
regular or heavy social drinking to
a dependents on alcohol is not all
that steep.
There are three main reasons
why people are drinking more —
in Canada. about 30 per cent more
than they did 25 years ago. Alcohol
is cheaper lin relation to income)
than it's ever been: real or imagined
social pressures persuade people
that they need some kind of drug —
and alcohol is a socially accepted
and legally available one: and

vintners aim at convincing us that
it's fashionable to drink. Look at
all those bronzed canoeists and

But in reality, in Ontario today.
close to 300,000 people drink
enough alcohol to endanger their
health. What that rmeans is a daily
intake of about mine ounces of
spirits — or the equivalent in beer
or wine.
Alcohol abuse exerts a tremend-
ous toll on lite and health in our
society, contributing not only to
diseases like liver cirrhosis, peptic
ulcer and pneumonia, but also to
car and fire accidents, family break-
ups, and suicide.
While the effects of drinking vary

tion of absolute alcohol that really

ality and attitude.
Dependence on alcohol can creep
up on the social drinker. Rather
than drinking with friends and with
meals, he begins to view drink as a
relief from tension, as a regular
part of his daily routine — as a
social crutch.
Soon, he becomes a gulper rather
than a sipper, and finds that it takes
increasing amounts of alcohol to
achieve the same effect. He begins
to take a 'belt' alone, and at more
frequent intervals.
Of course, not everyone makes
the step from casual drinking to
reliance on alcohol. But OWario's
Addiction Research Foundation
points out that certain characteris-
tics mark the alcohol dependent
person. Among them: inability to
take family responsibility, lack of
self-discipline, pre -occupation with
oneself, feelings of sexual, social
or parental inadequacy, negative
attitudes towards zvehoritr, and
limited interests.

Above all, don't fall into the
trap of thinking that you can't
possibly be an alcoholic — or be
moving in that direction. It doesn't
take 25 years: it can take only a year
or two. Sometimes less.
In Ontario, one adult in 10 is a
problem drinker. If you can't drink
in moderation you'd probably be
better off not to drink at all: more-
over, if you weed a drink, better
start asking why.
