Liquor control changes worry Some curious sights may be in store for Ontario residents when the new Liquor Control Act takes effect Jan. 2, according to York regional police chief Bruce Crawford. Addressing the Con- cerned Citizens of King at a recent meeting, Crawford said it will be legal for people to carry open bottles while walking the streets. “An lB-yearold boy can walk to the street with a lunch pail in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other, and the law won't be able to touch him." Liquor unlimited The chief also said that until now it has been against the law for one person to get another person drunk â€" but under the new law a barkeeper will be able to serve any quantity of liquor to a patron. He pictured a scene of a town drunk. lying on the sidewalk unconscious with a bottle of liquor beside him. If a citizen calls to complain, the police will have to give the drunk a ticket, but not take him in. “No longer is it an offence to be drunk in a public place." Crawford said, unless injury to oneself or others is possible. or unless identification is not produced. People uninformed “I'm not prepared to admit that people know what‘s going on with the new liquor act,” he ad» ded. Speaking on other concerns, Crawford said policing will continue to be a very expensive commodity. “The demand for service has risen drastically. As long as you, the people, increase your demands for ser- vice, costs will go up. “As long as we continue to relax our laws, the costs to enforce these laws will increase." Crawford said York region has the seventh lowest police costs among 34 large forces in Ontario. Here, the cost of a per- capita basis was $26.87 in 1974, as compared with $34.70 in Metro and nine other regions. Drug problems “There was an 8 per cent decrease in crime last year. but we do have considerable crime in York region, with serious drug problems." He added, though, that York‘s problems cannot be considered any more serious than those of other regions. Crawford also said the force has had “limited experience" with organized crime in York. “We have no Mafia but some results from the Mafia," he said â€" without elaborating.

Teacher predicted American atrocities Although it was nearly 10 years ago. teacher- writer Isaac Pfaff isn‘t about to forget the disillusion he felt upon seeing just how tenuous our soâ€"called academic freedom can be. "ASHER blunt hand of government intervention came not in his native South Africa. but here in Southern Ontario. Pfaff, now teaching at Thornhill secondary, was a teacher at Oakwood Collegiate in Toronto in 1966 when he was commissioned by provincial education official Fred Swayze to prepare a major lecture course in world politics. ‘1! -v... .n. .. _-.. r . 7 7 , , , “You are-the expert in this matter; yours shall be the final word â€" I‘ll see that no one interferes with you.” Swayze said_on hiring him. Pfaff recalls. _A a “Unfortunately Swayze died before the project was even begun. Out of consideration for the feelings of the Consul General of the United States. Swayze’s successors refused to honor his promise and kept a terribly tight rein on me." Pfaff says â€" although to the best of his knowledge none of them had ever taught a lesson in world politics. “If Swayze‘s promise had been honored, at least a few hundred Ontario taxpayers who paid for my ‘expert‘ writing might have been prepared for the subsequent shocks of the Pentagon Papers, the My Lai massacre. the American defeat in Asia and that painful insult to human dignity called Watergate." The course that finally emerged with government approval was “two parts Pfaff to eight parts water,” the teacher says. By way of compensation, however. the “most stimulating” week in his career also belongs to that period. He was chosen to represent Ontario history teachers in a national centennial project on federal- provincial relationships. For a week he was at the University of Waterloo. involved in round-theâ€"clock discussions and informal sessions with nine teacher representatives of the other provinces and 50 bright students chosen from all over Canada. Such an experience is the good fortune of a mere handful of teachers. Pfaff, born near Capetown, was educated in English-speaking schools and received his BA from the University of Capetown, with a triple major. English, Dutch (and Afrikaans) and economic history. .. Ad.‘ L~__‘_ He started writing when he was 15 and began publishing stories, poems and plays at 16.
