The attitude of parents and the attitude they pass on to their children in of prime importance. Alcoholism, of course, is not the immediate problem with young people. Intoxication of mung people, however, is a dif- ferent and alarming platter and one we are very much concern- ed about. All parents are asking: Our children will eventually be faced with the question: To drink or not to drink?' "What cm we do to teach our children temperance, if not total abstinence? “Is this dabbling with liquor I passing phase which they will outgrow? “ls it better to serve liquor openly " home. or should it be reserved strictly for adult part- ies? "These are I few of the quest- ions that trouble us. We don't want to know what to do with I problem drinker so much as to prevent problem drinking . . .

The rise in residential taxes meant a per- son paying taxes on a home as- sessed at $5000 had to shell out $15 more last year than in 1962. At the same time, the com- mercial tax rate was raised by 3.9 mills. Many are fearful that the same developments may oc- cur this year. local education com are again slightly lower than 12 months ago, largely due to in- creased grants from Queen‘s Park. A figure of 4..3 mills was hinted at by a board official. This would mean a drop of a full mill. However. Metro‘s levy demand is nearly double what was asked in 1963. In return for the nearly $250300. Metro as- sumes almost all school expen- ses except teaeher's salaries HIGHWAY OFFICIALS are trying hard to solve the problem of traffic tie-ups on Hwy. 401 and believe the addition of eight more lanes will al- leviate moat of the rush-hour difficulties. Work is well underway on the massive project which will be of great benefit to Metro residents including those in Weston and North York. The Department of Highways announced that a $4,173,658.00 con- tract has been awarded to Majestic Contractors Limited and Perini (Western) Limited, of Tor- onto, for the widening to 12 lanes of Highway 401 from the C.N.R. Overhead Bridge, east of Keele Street, to Jane Street, including the construction of a new Keele Street interchange and Highway 401 transfer lanes east of Jane Street. Work will begin on this two-mile widening project before the end of April, 1964, with a view to having all 12 lanes in operation by the end of 1965. Cong- truction will be carried out in stages so that incon- venience to Highway 401 through-tratfie will be kept to a minimum. Four lanes of Hi hway 401 traffic will be maintained " in times 3mm the construction area. (buck row) Kn. G. Y. '” ' man of Visiting Comm: In. G. T. Tidbury. (To-Chum of Vanni Services; Mrs. J. W.
