LET'S BE CONSISTENT 90NN
An editorial, in the May 21 issue of The. Sentinel headed "Why
single Out tobacco?" :dealt with the recent .purge by the Federal
Government against the tobacco interests. •
The Sentinel believes that the tobacco business,. being a 'com-
pletely legalone, is being unfairly treatedgb7 the government
Not :everyone agreed withthis editorial which we wrote and
which is The Sentinel srrggeated-ttiat-oniyTwhen the-gover-n

can they rightfttilly lecture' on its harmful results: •

Taking a "caro before the horse: attitude` -Health- Minister
John Munro and members of his 'department:: have ° . suggested, • that
television stations refrain from accepting TV tobacco commercials...
The government subsidized CBC :was quick to dip further Into the: tax-
payers pockets and : comply with this request. This " 1s no uncial
sacrifice to the CBC who annually lose millions': in public . money.
• It is also being suggested that tobacco advertising— ertising be classified:
as illegal: thus denying.the buying public. the freedom of choice in pur,

R SONABLE
' With centralized= arid regional. government such frequently
discussed topics -- and since the general public it so ill-informed on
• these subjects, it is rather interesting to look back a few years to a
concrete example of what centralization can do.
The libraries in Huron County were taxen over by the county
council several years 'ago. Local boards continued to meet, but as far.
week's meeting of county council confirmed that assumption.
