Another dispute is now going on at

unresolved, 800 jobs will be at stake.
There, the argument is between the

The labor-management disputes of
the past two years have done nothing to

Dear Editor:
«One of my childrens’
comics...

As the scene opens, Casper is
walking through a- forest of
trees’ in even rows, twigs and
stones neatly stacked in piles,
and the chipmunk's holes tidil
covered. All the forest anima
are In an uproar.

“Our homes are all ruined!”,
ery the rabbits and the
raccoons,

“Our nests are no good
because the twigs are all made
orderly", a little bird teils
Casper,

Next he finds a rail fence
straightened and a spotted cow
behind. it who is now
symmetrically polka dotted,

“This sure is baffling”, says
Casper as he looks into the sky
-to see even the clouds neatly
lined up in rows.

Casper and the animals
decide to work hard at messing
things upso they can be the way
they were before,

“Isn't it nice to see things
natural again?”

“Heek, no!”

I?s Sara the Sorceress who

-hever gets any thanks for -

lidying things up. su
“Seb! Nobody: loves me. I
never get any respect!”
Casper, being the friendly
little fellow he is, takes pity on
Sara and gives her anidea.
“Come on. I'll take you to the
world of people’. ,
Together they fly over
winding rivers and flower
datted fields to a nearby city.
“Oh-h, what a mess!” graans

Sara, The factories are spewing °

forth great tunnels of black
smoke; the river is edged with
garbage and rotting car bodies;
enormous piles of trash
threaten to topple onto
roadways,

"You sure would - be
appreciated if you would tidy up
and purify the horrible pollution -
they’ve caused,” Casper tells
Sara.

“I've already tried,” she
replies. “My magic has no.
effect on peoples dirtiness.”’

Sara staggers as they land
near the city dump. -

Then, an unsuspecting citizen
strolls by just as a heap of junk

’ starts falling.
Sara worke a bit of magic and
the man feels an irrepressible
urge to jump out of the way,

"“Whew!?? . ,

“Say couldn’t you give people
the desire to tidy up things?"
“A wonderful suggestion, I
shall make people want to make
this a clean healthy world to live
in)”. cries Sara surrounded by a
circle of lightning flashes,

In spite of the best efforts of
those engaged in the pursuit of .
treatment and rehabilitation,
the problems of alcoholism
continue to increase’ and the
social damage resulting is of
such severity that we must
continue to seek ways to reduce
it,

At the recent session of the
provincial legislature, the
Premier and Minister of

Finance announced the
establishment of the Drug,
Aleohol and Cigarette

Education, Prevention and
Rehabilitation, Fund, a 25-
million dollar perpetual fund
which will provide an annual
income to be used for an
expanded
education, prevention and
rehabilitation program. -

The need then, for more
aggressive preventive
measures has been recognized
by the government and it
behooves our society to take
note of this emphasis,

The rapid growth of
community ‘interest and
concern over chemical
dependencies other than
alcoholism has led the
Foandation into discussion with ’-

. the Board“ of Diréttots of “the:

Narcotic Addiction Foundation
of British Columbia, to explore
the means of bringing about
more effective co-ordination of
our rehabilitation, research and

’ education services.

The -LeDain Commission of
inquiry into the Non-Medical
Use of Drugs visited. our
province last falland held their °
final hearings here.

We presented ai sup-
plementary brief to the
Commission in whith was
outlined our suggestions for a-
comprehensive preventive
education program, :

The suggestions were weil
received by the Commissioners,
