end was going to have an 
     
     open bar, they were imm— 
     
     ediately forced to change 
     
    
   
   
    
     the ad to word "licensed" ' 
     
    
   
   
    
     and not "open bar". Sim— 
     
     ilar flack has occurred 
     
     many times in~the past 
     
     such as when one of the 
     
     local breweries offered 
     
     to donate the university 
     
     different sports facilit— 
     
     ies. Their only request 
     
     was that their name be 
     
     recorded on these facil- 
     
     ities and of course every— 
     
     one knows that this is 
     
     against the law. 
     
    
   
   
    
     If the/only rationale 
     
     that the government can 
     
     use for the enforcement 
     
     of this law is that these 
     
     different forms of media 
     
     are produced off the Is? 
     
     land (though they are seen 
     
     and read on P.E.I.) then_ 
     
     what position would the 
     
     CADRE have been in which 
     
     has in the past been pri— 
     
     nted by the Dartmouth Free 
     
     PreSS in Dartmouth, Nova 
     
     Scotia. To take this fur— 
     
     ther the County Line Cou- 
     
     rrier, a new weekly news- 
     
     paper serving Eastern Pr- 
     
     ince and Western Queens 
     
     counties, is printed in 
     
     Monctonr What position 1 
     
     are these publications 
     
     in when they are published 
     
     for an Island audience 
     
     yet printed'in another 
     
     province? \ 
     
    

    
     The whole situation.in 
     
     regards to advertising 
     
     alcohol on P.E.I. is such 
     
     that it blatently dis— 
     
     criminates against Island 
     
     forms on media. The pre—' 
     
     sent laws are futile in 
     
     that they are enforced 
     
     with a double standard 
     
     because ALCOHOL is in 
     
    
   
   
    
     fact ADVERTISED on P.E.I. 
     
     This raises three basic 
     
     questions: 
     
    

    
     (1) If the alcohol in- 
     
     dustries on the Island 
     
     are allowed to advertise 
     
     tnrough off-Island media 
     
    
   
   
    
     (as they do now) why sh- 
     
     ould they not be allowed 
     
     to advertise here when 
     
     the revenue would benifit 
     
     Island business? 
     
    

    
     (2) If such laws are 
     
     going to exist why do they 
     
     not pertain to allnedia ? 
     
     There should, in effect, 
     
     be the total elimination 
     
     of liquor advertising on 
     
     P.E.I., Maritime, national 
     
     and international media 
     
     inclusive; 
     
    

    
     (3) Is the law as it 
     
     exists in P.E.I. proving 
     
     to be the vanguard of 
     
     Canada since such legis— 
     
     lation was attempted a ’ 
     
     few years ago in 3.0. and 
     
     is presently being discu— 
     
     ssed inOntario ?0nce 
     
     again Alex B. Campbell's 
     
     famous statement could be 
     
     proven true. 
     
    

    
     "We in this Province, 
     
     are beginning to realize 
     
     and appreciate that our 
     
     slowness in keeping up v 
     
     with our North American » 
     
     neighbours may well have' 
     
     been a blessing in dis-
