I guess this is a a question that will never r be : answered. to everyone’s satisfaction. The accidents that involve -yqung. people and alcohol are still ‘out of proportion compared ‘with: other. age groups. Having gone through

Mark Petersen ‘North Vancouver

I think it should be — changed to, 16. I think a 16-year-old is old enough to ‘handle alcohol.. Ac- tually, it doesn’t matter what the drinking age is, “ a young person can get

Glenn Drake . North Vancouver -

' If you are allowed the _Tesponsibility to drive a car at 16, why shouldn't the drinking age be that too?

Teresa Dunn North Vancouver

It might as well be 16, since I see young folks that age drinking anyway. We might as well be realistic.

Rick Stocks North Vancouver

I would like to see the drinking age raised to 21. There is more chance of a 21-year-old acting in a mature manner while drinking, than say, an 18 or 19-year-old.

Glenn Millard North Vancouver

It probably would not make much difference if we changed the drinking age. J think young people will drink at any age if they feel like it.

Officials in Kampala say . Idi Amin probably flew out

Other nations are ex- tending recognition to the Kampala based government, including the U.S. and Britain.

The U.S. closed its em-. bassy in Kampala in 1973 but .

never officially severed diplomatic relations with Amin.
