McCague on his return from highway safety trip to Europe Mr McCague is member of the Legislatures Select Com mittee on Highway Safety which recently spent two weeks on factfinding tour of the Netherlands Sweden and Britain Mr McCague said that despite the tough approch taken in Sweden with impaired driv ing he found that Swedish ex perts doubt the effectiveness of harsh penalties for drinking drivers Under Swedish law convic tion of impaired driving where the level of intoxication is greater than 15 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of County to get new computer Simcoe

health unit $17558 Duncan Green county trea surer said after reviewing ac counting and record keeping at the county building it became readily apparent that im provements can and should be made Mr Green recommended the county buy computer The county should have data processing equipment he said in report The county he said can either buy the computer as he suggested or contract the work with service bureau such the Canada Systems Group He said the inhouse com puter has more advantages than an contracted service bureau In general the service bureau approach to data pro cessing is out of touch with today he said An inhouse computer system has certain amount of builtin expansion capabilities Mr Green said the purpose of the service bureau is to supply computer processing to or gani7ations which can not at ford their own tatilitics But he said the advance ment of technology had pro vided small coiiiptilers which can process the data at an at fordalilr cost Mr tlrccn said the health unit is planning to upgrade its bookeeping system and equip nient and has money available in the 1973 reserve for accourr ting equipment The county money is from the 1975 unapproprialed surplus fund The treasurer said the county and health unit will alsoshare total annual maintenance cost of $4860 Mr Green said the countys share of the maintenance cost should not be any greater than that

program on exceptional children scheduled for Friday at Banting Memorial high school in Alliston The program has been titled Surveying Exceptionalities and the main emphasis will be on how to

Simcoe County Board of lidiicition There is tee of $2 so per son blood carries an automatic jail sentence of up to two months and licence suspension of up to two years If the level of in toxication is between 05 and 15 the penalty is fine of bet ween 10 and 50 days wages While this approach did result in improved statistics at the outset the effect is beginn ing to wear off and instances of impaired driving have risen back to their original level Several members of the com mittee have called for harsher penalties for drinking drivers but Mr McCague feels that the solution lies in program which identifies the offender atid takes steps to rehabilitate him The primary objective is to get the drinking driver off the road first offender should definitely face license suspen sion and be required to take driver education course show ing him the consequence of his actions he said If it becomes apparent by subsequent convictions that the driver has an alcoholic pro blem then longerterm suspenlt sions and efforts at rehabilita tion should be made In my opinion alcoholism itself is disease not criminal office No useful pur pose is served by putting an alcoholic in jail with hardened criminal Mr McCague also cited the high social costs involved in program that uses jail sen tences as deterrent For the social drinker the effects of jail sentence can be devastating For the confirmed alcoholic jail sentences have little effect on drinking pro blem Mr McCague noted that On tarios laws relating to drinking drivers are just as tough as Swedens and that the problem is not one of legislation Ontario drivers are liable to fine of between $50 and $2000 for first impaired drivmg otleiice Subsequent offences carry automatic jail sentences of from 14 days to two years FAMILY HOMES

major reason this year Our budget costs were restricted to an increase of eight per cent per pupil this year but ottr grants from the province were severely re duced resulting in an abnormal increase she said The Ward representative said she would join other board incliibers in asking the pro vince to Irtxumlll the grant system and ensure that they FABRI sought ofboard do not force local taxpayers to shoulder an unfair portion of the education costs again Mrs MacKenzie repeated that the 1976 increases were solely the result of govern ment action and not the result of misspending by the board
