: Tough program
‘on drunk driving»

TORONTO (CP) ~ Grim movies showing blood-
smeared accident victims and the drudgery of prison
life, plus the live confession of a drunk driver who
killeda 10-year-old boy were part of a tough program
on drunk driving presented to high school students
Wednesday.

‘Teenagers from three Toronto - schools sat
spellbound as a man identified by the pseudonym
Adam Smith, his face blacked out on closed-circuit
television, sobbed out the story of the night he “hada
few scotch on the rocks ... then left to drive home.

“All of a sudden, I saw a car in front of me, 1
slammed on the brakes, but it was too late. I skidded
inte the car..

“7 knew I had injured one of the boys. I jumped out
and kneeled down and held him in my arms. I kissed
him, but be wouldn't answer me, and everyone was
screaming, 50] guess I panicked. I just left and went
home to my basement apartment and sat on the bed
and prayed for that bay,” the man recalled, his eerie
silhouette shifting nervously on the TV monitors.

“But five days later, he di

There was no sound in the scheol. auditorium as the
students sat motionless, listening.

**¥ou students, if you go cut to a party — leave your
vehicleat home. It’s just like carrying a gun," the 46-
year-old delivery driver pleaded.

“I burt 80 many people. I want you to know, it’s not

. @ very good feeling to walk down the street and face
the public when you've committed a crime like I did.”’

_ The day-long litany of ant-drunk driving messages
included films showing badly injured traffic accident
victims and one portraying prison life as a collage of
barbed-wire, handcuffs and strip-searches.

A jail official brought a macabre display of torture
weapons prisoners made from spoons and tooth-
brushes, And there was a stark list of drunk driving
statistics to remind the youths that more than 42 per
cent of all people killed in car accidents in 1982 were
under 25 years ald.

‘Kids these days are immune to shock tactics,”

“teacher Bovena White said. “You have to try hard to

like getting behind the wheel after we've had a few
drinks.

“But it’s really important, especially after those ;
tésnagers were killed in that accldent in Milton,” she
sald, referring to the April 7 deaths of six teenagers
when their car slammed into a freight. train. ;

- DAY HAS IMPACT

Reaction from thé students, showed th day ‘tad a

said Grade 11 student Prank Giordano, 16."'I felt kind . ~

of sorry for the guy,"you know,: when: he cried, It
makes you realize it could happen to anyone. He
could be your father.”

John Bagnoli, 15, a Grade 10 student, said he was so
shocked by the details about accidents, he may never
want to get his driver's licence. .

“I didn't know it could be that bad.

As for Adam Smith, who served part of tis one-year
jail term at a community resource centre that helps

convicted impaired drivers, his sentence is over. He
has his driver's licence back after a two-year
suspension and he’s back at his old driving job.

But the memory of that tragic night remains, -
“When T left the instltution, 1 knew 7 wasn't

back, somehow, for the rest of my life,” he said.

Quebec Premier Rene Levesque, an avid poker
player and a betting man, is too much of a politician
to bet on the outcome of the National Hockey League
playoff series between Montreal Canadiens and
Quebec Nordiques.

Asked by a reporter whether he’s placing his bets

Louls Farrakhan, the controversial leader of the
Black Muslim sect, has called on black youths to
reject the ‘“‘female-acting, sissified” image of singer
Michael Jackson, ‘

Farrakhan blamed Jackson, winner. of eight
Grammy awards this ‘year, for his style that “ac-
tually ruins your young men and makes your young
women have nothing to- Jook up to as a real man for
their own lives.”

Jackson, 25, presents astyle that “Is not wholesome
for our young boys nor our young girls,’’ Farrakhan
said in a radio broadcast.

Although he allowed Jackson is a “great singer, "
Farrakhan added he is setting a poor example for
black youth. —

“This is a shame. But, of course, men like this-will
live to die of old age because they threaten nothing.”

With or without com-

of 35,0008 year until 1990.
