The latest evidence backs up
previous findings that cigarette
smoke is the main cause of lung
cancer in Men and a. significant
factor in cancer of the larynx
and mouth. New data
strengthens the possibility of a
connection between smoking
and cancer of the bladder and
pancreas, added Dr. Evans.
"There is not any chest
surgeon not in despair," be said,
"over the virtual lunacy of those
who continue to smolte in spite
of the overwhelming evidence
indicating the cigarette as a
killer.
"He (the surgeon) is the man
-• who in the operating room sees
the ghastly end resulto of
cigarette smoking — fatal lung
tumours."
Dr. Evans, lamented the fact
that the public will quieldy heed
a warning about possibly
contaminated water but when
told that a much enjoyed and
deeply ingrained habit such as
cigarette smoking can or does
kill, the reaction is one of
studied indifference — a shrug of
the shoulders.
Asked whether the danger was
only for men, Dr. Evans said
that not as many women as men
have been smoking heavily over
a number of years so the
The Clinton Town Council
Was to meet to discuss the base
closing with the industrial
committee Monday evening, but
the session was postponed
because Mayor Symons was ill.
The Huron County
Federation of Agriculture
reported this week that its board
of directors had voted to "press
Conestoga College at least to
investigate the idea of opening a
satellite campus on the base."
The federation said it will
present briefs to the college
governors and to all MPPs.
Bert Such said last Friday that
he and Mayor Sills would invite
the college's board to meet at
the base and tour the facilities as
soon as possible.
The armed forces this month
gathered and printed a collection
of data on the soon-to-be-
vacated base. Copies of the guide
were distributed to some.of the
officials on last week's visit.
Other copies will go to
prospective users of the base,
Colonel Ryan said he has
already started inventories to
determine what items are
publicly owned and what ones
were bought by military
personnel from their own funds.
Red stickers are being applied to
all non-public equipment on the
base, he said.
To illustrate the distinction
between public and private
property on the base Colonel
Ryan said someone buying his
house would not expect to
purchase the furniture
automatically and "the furniture
in the Officers' Mess is as much
mine as the chesterfield in my
living room."
The inventories will be
separate, said, the base
commander, and so will be
negotiations for sale or •transfer
of the items. In discussing`
disposal of equipment, Colonel
Ryan noted that one base
landmark, the white "golf ball"
radome, will be moved with the
Radar and Communications
School.
Mr. McKinley reported that
Crown Assets Disposal
Corporation is inquiring whether
or' not any federal agencies are
interested in using the base. If
there are no takers, it will be
offered next to the Ontario
govern men t.
e the MP said he has written all • 0 s-- fcderal a.gepoleS ' tb funiish
infOrmatibii 'about the base and
the surrounding area and to
stress the availability of
extensive training facilities at
CFB Clinton.
Mr. McKinley said that a
meeting with base workers
Friday morning' indicated that a
number were already seeking
other employment and finding it
"without a tremendous amount
of difficulty."
"Others will not be in as good
a situation," observed Mr.
McKinley, "and some of them
will find it more difficult."
The Htiron MP said he
understands that word of
additional base ciosings will
come later this fall and some of
the communities to be affected
will be hurt even more than the
Clinton district.
Warden Hayter said after
Friday's, tour that "it is really
nice to see this while it is in
operation." , Centralia quickly
became a "ghost town," he
recalled, and "when the grass
gets a foot tall, the doors are
corning off and the windows are
out, it scares you — the place
was monstrous.
Said Reeve Armstrong about
several local merchants who
discounted the impact of the
base closing: "They "have rocks
in their head." And the impact
will be felt in Goderieh, Exerer,
Seaforth, Wingham and other
points besides Clinton, he
asserted.
Similar sentiments were
voiced by Reeve Thompson who
called the phase-out "a real
heartbreaker."
"Had I been born with one
hand," said the Tuckersmith
reeve, "I might never have
missed it, but if one was taken
off now I certainly would and
that is what will happen if this
base closes — we'll be crippled."
Mr. Davis promised a "very
real survey and evaluation" by
his department and said that
while he did not want to raise
any false hopes he "could not
help but be impressed" and "it is
obvious to all of us this
afternoon that there is
potential."
Mr. Shaw called the buildings
"terrific," but not easily
convertible to industrial use,
"though I would not rule out
perhaps some form of small
industry."
The ODC representative, who
is in charge of Centralia at the
Toronto level, said there is
demand for more space at the
former Centralia base, "but the
minister (Mr. MacNaughton) said
to us to get industry into
Clinton . and other places first.
We are trying our damndest to
get industry into Clinton."
Mr. Such said that he and
Mayor Sills "feel we have been
pushing hard for further
educational opportunities in this
area and see wonderful
opportunities in this baSe."
He said the' Don Campus of
Conestoga College in Kitchener
serves the greatest concentration
of students in. the four-county
region (Perth, Huron, Waterloo
and Wellington), but the board is
aware of the hardships imposed
on Huron students who are
beyond commuting distance.
The tour Friday lasted more
than. two hours and followed
luncheon at the Officers' Mess.
Mr. MacNaughton, Mr. Davis and
the ministers' assistants arrived
by plane at Sky Harbour Airport
in Goderich.

BY RON PRIG
Goderich council, in. a Joint
meeting with representatives of
Clinton and .Goderich Township
councils last Thursday
discovered that an agreement
.between the municipalities and
George Lavis of Lavis
Contracting Co, Ltd„.
Holmesville, had been changed.
after it. was sent to Mr. 1-14-45'
!WM'S to be drafted.
Councillors noted that the.
changes and added clauses
tended to favor the operator, And
owner of the proposed site,
George- Lavis.
The changes, which altered
financial arrangements,
operation of the dump, and
types of materials to be dumped,
were important enough to throw
all municipalities into
disagreement.
Meeting members decided • to
draw up a list of changes they
require for the agreement draft
and again submit it to Mr, Lavis
within three weeks.
Goderich Councillor Paul
Carroll asked who was
responsible for the changes and
Clinton Coun. Harold Lobb
replied he would hate to say,
"...but ' it wasn't any of the
municipalities,"
Dr. Mills suggested the
agreement be reviewed and the
notable points debated and at
the suggestion of Goderich
Coun. Ed. Giesbrecht the
agreement was read one.
paragraph at a time and
Goderich, Township clerk R. E.
Thompson noted the changes.
Goderich Township Reeve
Everett MeIlwain told council
the agreement had been drawn
up originally by Goderich
Township due to the new site
being located in' that township.
He said the agreement had been
• changed quite a lot.
Coun. Harold Lobb said he
felt the meeting bad been very
productive and it was "...too bad
the three of us (municipalities)
couldn't have got together
sooner."

incidence of lung cancer among
men who smoke is undoubtedly
greater right now but "there is
'no Kral thing as a safe number
of cigarettes per day and the
gentler sex is not exempt."
Charcoal, super-long or other
types of filters make no
difference and are largely an
advertising gimmick, said Dr.
Evan.s, adding that the only
useful purpose a cigarette filter
serves is to keep small particles
of tobacco out .of a smoker's
mouth.
Discussing the difficulty in
detecting cancer early enough to
treat it, Dr. Evans spoke of the
new technique of sputum
cytology as one in which there is
very considerable basis for hope
and reasonable confidence that
it will prove to be a.valuable
weapon in diagnosis.
Sputum cytology — in which
samples of spit are checked for
abnormal cells which may be
malignant or pre-malignant —
can bring to light cases of
pre-cancerous growths or cancers
still localized where they can be
stopped.
County council in Huron haS
concurred with Dr. Evans' belief
that sputum cytology has a place
in public health services here,
and it is hoped that skilled and
trained technicians can be
recruited to start a screening
program here, he said.
