alcohol would be to classify it as an intoxicating beverage within the meaning of the liquor act He said however that this would require control at the retail level and would be a restriction of trade on a mate product used wrongfully in some cases On the other hand he said it might be possible to make it a criminal offence to drink rubbing alcohol He added however that would be a very difficult tute to enforce because police would actually have to catch the man drinking it If the department decided to re- gulate the sale of rubbing alcohol at retail outlets it could be done through an But if they made il an offence to drink rubbing alcohol it would require an amendment to and would have to wait until the next session of the legislature Defence Cuts Unlikely By DAVE McINTOSH OTTAWA cuts in
