On a rush End to end action like this was not uncommon during a recent game between the Marathon Midgets and the hosting Terrace Bay-Schreiber Commodores, shown here defending their goal. The Marathon team won the game, 7-6. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I just read the editorial in the January. 15 issue of the Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, and certainly know the frustration you feel. A resident of the Schreiber area phoned CFNO on Monday., January 5 to ask why we weren't carrying anything on the CP derailment. My answer: '"'I didn't know about it, but I'll see what I can find out, and have it on the air as soon as possible."'

But we have been fortunate enough to have good listeners, and many of them, who let us know when something hap- pens. We can then tell everyone in the district about it before any other media source. Indeed, we can be, and have been in the past, a source for other reporters. We thank our listeners, and encourage the public and, yes, other. media, to phone us at 229-1212 if they want more informa- tion on a story. We'll be glad to help.

P7A 4K9 Half of the Ontario drivers and pedestrians who die as a result of traffic accidents are drunk accord- ing to a study released by Health and Welfare Minister Jake Epp. Results of the study of blood samples taken from fatally injured Ontario drivers and pedestrians between March 1, 1982 and July 31, 1984 show that half of the drivers killed (49.7 per cent) had alcohol levels in excess of the legal limit for impairment (80 milli- grams of alcohol per 100 milli- litres of blood). Nearly 11 per cent of the drivers had THC, a derivative of cannabis (marijuana or hashish), in their blood. Most (i.e. 83 per cent) of the cannabis users also had alcohol in their blood, two-thirds of them over the legal limit. "These findings are of grave concern to us all," Mr. Epp said.

"Tl strongly urge drivers of all ages to avoid using alcohol, mari- juana or other drugs that may im- - pair their ability to drive'. The report also suggests that a higher proportion of fatally- injured drivers had been using marijuana than was found in the previous study of 1978-1979. The study found that 17 per cent of fatally injured young drivers aged 14 to 24 years had THC in their blood samples. The study monitoring alcohol and cannabis use among drivers and pedestrians was a joint pro- ject of the Traffic Injury Research Foundation of Canada, the Office of the Cheif Coroner for Ontario, and the Centre of Forensic Sciences of the Ontario Ministry of the Solicitor General. It was funded by health and Welfare Canada. Pitch-In and Keep Canada Beautiful Cancer can be - beaten.

It's just as deadly as a forest fire and must be treated with the same sense of urgency. Protection must begin in the early stages and continue until losses are minimized. Controlled aerial spraying of approved insecti- cides is essential if we hope to curb the budworm attack. Many people have seen budworm devastation in their own or _ their neighbour's back yards.
