8 to County Road 3 in Egrpond-
yi'lle;, County Road 3 from

X BAYFIELD' —. About 30
-residents of Bayfield! and vicin-
' iity met recently in the Fire-
hall annex.
Merton Merner, chairman of
■the Council recreation commit
tee, had called the meeting to
> discuss formation of a com
mittee to investigate the possi
bility of installing an artificial
ice plant in the Community
.Arena.
Mr, Merner outlined'"enquiries-
he had made regarding,the cost
.of new and • 'Second hand ice

.cally mentioned trips Which he
and Joe Mayman had made to
London 'arid Toronto to gather
more information/
A committee of four. was
elected: Robert MacVean
(chairman), Joe Mayman, Yoe
Koene, and Mert Merner.
■ Mr. MacVean states' that
when the committee feels that
it has a comprehensive estimate
of casts it will approach the
'Community Centre Board and
the Bayfield Lions Club’. If the
commit tee’s suggestions meet
with their approval a public
meeting will be called.
It was expressly stated at the
initial meeting that this is to
be considered a community pro
ject, and.in no way limited to
residents of Bayfield.
sensitive to cx'itiicism of winter
control and maintenance,
He pointed out that Huron
County spends $200 per mile on
such maintenance of county
roads, while (Ontario Depart
ment of Highways spends'
$2,000 per mile.
“We certainly do our best to?
keep the county roads ser
viced," Mr. Britnell stated, “Wc
are not wasting ■ .anything, but
are trying to get the most from
our salt. dollar,” :
Warden Donald McKenzie
pointed out thdt the County
did not have a full’ crew over
night like .the Department. “It'
is a pretty ticklish thing to
say just what is the right
thing to do’ at any given time.” •
' Herbert B. Such, reeve o^
Goderich, said he had been
asked to pose the question -to
the County Connctil as to why.
there is not a more ■ equitable
portion of road rebates paid
back to the Town of Goderich.
He asked why an additional
five per cent Was not added to
the present 45 percent to bring
it up to others.
V f 4County Engineer Britnell re
plied that the 45 per cent fig
ure had been arrived at sin the
original negotiations and since
after due consideration of all
'the circumstances. It was diffi
cult to give a municipality ad
ditional funds when there were
no ■ county roads within .the.
municipality. In addition, the
original county roads in the
towns were now part of the
provincial highway system, in
many instances. •
Mr. Such remarked that al
though Canada seemed to be
facing a “separatist” problem,
he did not think Huron County
was. “I iam .darned sure th'alt
Huron County , is not going to
have that problem with the
Town of Goderich!” he exclaim
ed, amid loud clapping from
fellow-councillors.

Huron MOH Warns About diatom News-Record
“The Home Paper With The News”
Dr*. G. P. A. Evans, director
■and Medical Officer of Health
■ of the Huron County Health
"Unlit has written the following
article-as/.part of hiis/endeaVour
x -to. .acquaint the county, popula
tion fully of the .-dangers as
sociated with the use of tobacco,
■ - particularly cigarettes: Jt.
CIGARETTES AND DISEASE
' “These people are liars; they
want your money and they
don’t mind if. you die.”
- This quote is taken from an
■article by a highly reputable
British Journalist, Wayland
Young, writing in one of Ilrit-
. •afin’s' top two quality daily
» newspapers,' The Guardian,
early-in 196%. He was advising
■parents to say this to their
■children from time 'to' time as
the nauseatingly mellifluous
tones of the television cigarette
• advertisements' flow ' over the
family. Fortunately, since then,
cigarette advertisements have
been banned completely on
commercial television fin Brit-
' ain (B.B.C. T.V. has no adver
tising matter of any kind).
' It would be well if this. be
lated action in Britain were fol
lowed still more belatedly, by
CBC throughout its trans-,
'nation networks. A Centennial
Project? Even this would be,
but a small bite at a very large
cake. . ).
While it is. admitted freely,
that among tobacco products,
the cigarette is the killer, the
pipe and' the diigar are less in
criminating only because they
are less likely to cause lung
-cancer. They share with the
H*
cigarette, casual' relationship in
coronary ’thrombosis, chronic
bronchitis and otiier serious
conditions, and the exacerbation
Of-gastric.‘-and- duodenal ..ulcers.-
Really, the only logical mea
sure would be the complete pro
hibition of the advertising of
tobacco products by any of the
media of mass comlmunicatltfn.
The effect- on smoking habits
would be profound and drama
tic.
There are many fields in
which health education can be
of valued but none in which
society while pointing to the
dangers of smoking, permits its
mature and immature members
Jo be exposed'to 'inaccurate and
misleading claims for products,
which if used, can bring about
a.premature death. Lung cancer
differs'' from any other diseases,
■in that having it almost always
means dying of it, dying soon,
most unpleasantly and in great
pain controllable only by pow
erful drugs.
The report to-the Surgeon?
General of the United States.
Public Health • Service (1964)
states: Cigarette smolting is
casually related' to lung cancer
in men; the magnitude of the
effect of cigarette smoking far
outweighs all other factors
(Atmospheric Pollution, vehicle
exhausts, background- radiation,
etc.) The data* for women,
though less extensive, point in
the same direction.
The risk of developing lung
cancel' increases with, duration
of smolting and the number of
cigarettes smoked per day, and
is diminished by stopping smok
ing. In comparison' with non-
smokers, average male smokers
of cigarettes have approximate
ly-a-9 -to- 40-fold risk’ of' de
veloping lung cancer, and heavy
smokers at least a 20-fold risk”.
One frequently encounters the
two arguments that it as At
mospheric Pollution not cigar
ettes that is the cause of lung
cancer and that many life-long
smokers die in old age of causes
other 'than lung cancer, so it is
as well to deal with them at
this time'.
No doctor has ever claimed
th£t cigarettes are the only
factor in the causation of-lung
cancer, and atmospheric pollu
tion undoubtedly makes a con
tribution, but it is a very small
one in' comparison with the
smoking of cigarettes; It is most
significant in Finland and
Jersey — Channel Islands —
there is very little atmospheric
pollution, high consumption of
cigarettes and very high lung
cancer death rates.
With regard to the .octogen
arian cigarette smoker dying,
for example, of simple old age,
this is not at all in cdfafliat with
the overwhelming evidence to
incriminate the cigarette,- tip
ped or plain, as a killer.
It has never been said by any’
responsible authority 'that ail
people who smoke cigarettes
will die of lung cancer. What
i'S undoubtedly true, however, is
that to persist with heavy cig
arette smolting in the face of
the fficts available is like play
ing Russian Roulette.
