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. r Roads Chairman Geiger and County Engineer Britnell oifM’ elated at ..the presentation of County lapel pins to nine long­ time .employees of Huron Coun­ ty ' Roads Department ™ a total of 283 years in all J The nine , who iw'ere honour­ ed were called to the dies and each in turn was. presented with his gift by the two of­ ficials, after which Warden Donald McKenzie congratulat­ ed them on 'their long service.

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.
