The Committee‘s proposals would make it harder to get and keep a driver‘s licence and would require the police to be more vigilant and more visible in enforcing the law on highways. The Committee recommends that police be empowered to seize the keys of impaired, as well as raising the drinking age to 19, the establish- ment of compulsory education and treatment programs for people convicted of impaired driving, and a crack- down on advertising which depicts alcohol as a “desirable and necessary part of the good life". Men in uniform with a drinking problem are given six months to “pull up their socks" and quit drinking, or leave the forces. The military brass had to change its ideas because drinking ser- vicemen were a security risk and “potential disasters". Alcoholism is the number one enemy of the Canadian Armed Forces. according to the head of Canada’s Defence Ministry’s Drug and Alcohol Program. Apparently one dif- ficulty in the campaign against heavy drinking for servicemen was to convince senior officers that over-indulging in alcohol was no longer part of the armed forces‘ tradition. In its many forms, alcohol has been around for centuries, and thousands of people use it for pleasure and relaxation, with wisdom. Almost 90 per cent of all citizens over 15 drink at least once a year; 13 per cent drink every day; and there are an estimated 200,000 alcoholics. However, many people misuse alcoholic beverages, and the costs to physical, mental and social health are high â€" unacceptably high. By ALF STONG MPP - York Centre After a year of in- vestigating highway safety across the Province, an all-party committee of the Legislature has called upon the government to get tough with those who drink and drive. The consumption of alcohol in Ontario is in- creasing. In excess of 600,000 Canadians are alcoholics, but no statistics can possibly give the true picture of the people who die or are injured in road accidents, the costs of administering the law and providing treatment and rehabilitation, the costs in human suffering C-10 â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday, October 12. 1977 IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT. 197‘ 8.0. CHAPTER 122 AND IN THE MATTER OF THE LANDS AND PREMISB KNOWN MUNICIPALLY AS 37 AND 39 COLBOURNE STREET. THORN- HILL IN THE TOWN OF MARK- HAM, IN THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE Take notice that the Council of the CorporatiOn of the Town of Markham on the 14th day of June, 1977, decided to designate the lands and buildings, known municipally as 37 and 39 Colbourne Street, Thornhill, Ontario, as a property of architectural and historical value or interest under The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, 8.0‘ Chapter 122. SHORT STATEMENT OF THE REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION: The property and dwellings are important in terms of the local street» scape as the eastermost units of a series of houses between Yonge Street and Church Lane. This area forms the best preserved and perhaps the most typical section of the old village of Thornhill. The lands and buildings comprising 37 and 39 Col- bourne Street in Thornhill, Ontario, are recommended for designation for archi- tectural and historical reasons as good examples of a type of building preve lant to the area in the middle of the 19th century. The double or semi‘ detached house was a common sight in the early stages of Canadian domestic architecture, especially in milling vil- lages such as Thornhill. This particular double house was owned by Thomas Hamill Robinson, a carpenter, and he most likely rented it to workers from Thornhill's mills lo cated along the nearby Don river. Notice of Objection to the designation may be sewed on the Clerk within thirty days of the 5th day of October, 1977. DATED at Markham this 51h day of October, 1977.
