ISLANDS REVIEW

WHAT'S DOING
IN P.T.A.

By Norma Sealey

“Acid’’, “‘speed’’, ‘‘meth’’;- all
part of the new vocabulary of
drugs. But - What are they? What
is their effect? And what should
you do about them?

Let us help you find answers to
these and other questions per-
taining to drugs. On Mon. Feb. 16,
8 p.m. in Sidney Elementary
Schoo} auditorium, Sidney P.T.A.
is. sponsoring a program in the
public interest entitled: DRUGS -
Use and Abuse.

Other P.T.A.s in. the district
have been invited to attend, and
an open invitation is. also ex-
tended to the public, as this is

concern to everyone.

The program. will include the
Cool-Aid. film ‘Speed — Kills’’,
concerning the use of meth-
amphetamine drugs.’As of Jan.
16, this film had been shown lil
times, to several thousands of
persons, including P.T.A.s, youth
groups, public health. officers,
church groups, police officers,
nursing students, social workers,
municipal councils, and the
Royal Commission on Drugs.

An_ interesting and. informed
panel will be present. including
Charles Barber representing
Cool-Aid, and Sgt. Bill Chisholm,
‘well-known for his ‘work: with
Saanich Police Youth and Drug
Squad.:He will-also.be bringing

with him a very excellent display . .

OH, BUZZ OFF

I suppose I could find im-
pressive statistics. and official
reports to document this week’s
thesis -- that the automobile, as
we know it, is headed for ex-
tinction -- but I’d prefer to rest
my case, my lord, on a very small
item that appeared in-our local
paper last week.

The story concerned a Mr,
George Oake who told the police
that he brought his car-to a halt
behind another car at a red light.
The light. turned green, the car.
ahead did not. move and so Mr.
Oake sounded his horn. Three
times, to be precise. The door of
the stalled car ahead swung
slowly open, according to Mr.
Oake’s: complaint, .the driver
emerged, walked deliberately
back to Mr. Oake’s. car and
punched Mr. Oake smartly upon
his nose.

As I say, I could research the
thing :a little and produce some
figures to prove my point, but
why bother?

Apiarists say that as soon

as they get among. their
‘bees. they .can feel the —
temper of the insects by the
sound. of their humming
cand I feel that after 30-odd
years as a car driver I'vea
similar sensitivity. to
what’s happening’ in. the
chive of motordom.

Mr. Oake, as Tsee it, is a living
symbol of a new age that’s
already upon. us, an age in which:
the automobile driver is in a
perpetual state. of frazzled. ner-

ning hatred for -his fellow.

motorists. Like anarchy, I mean.
“It so happens that, having

‘recently returned toa nine-to-five

job, I acquired a new automobile,

a vehicle at once beautiful and

utterly impractical. cee
