DR. A. MOORE AND MR. A. MOSS VISIT SCHOOL On Tuesday, October 28th, Dr. A. Moore and - Mr. A. Moss of the Addiction Research Foundation in Thunder Bay spoke to the Grade 12 and 13 stu- dents. Dr. Moore is the Centre Director of Medical Services and Mr. Moss is the Director of Community Services for the Foundation. Prior to their visit two films, "What Time Is It Now?", a film developed by youths on the subject of alcohol, "Drugs and the Nervous System," had been viewed by the students. Both speakers spoke frankly with the students in answering the numerous questions presented to them. They stated that there are no simple answers to the problems of drug and alcohol addiction, although many positive steps are being taken towards youth education on the topics. A few of the topics in- cluded in the discussion were" the dangers of taking drugs; the similarities and differences of drugs and alcohol; the various types of drugs; the legalization of drugs; and the implications of the use of drugs in the future. Pat McParland thanked Dr. Moore and Mr. Moss' after the Grade 12 Session and Susan Graham thank- ed them after the Grade 13 Session.
