Ross Reid told the annual meeting of the Huron-Perth Lung Association in Stratford May 27 that 20 years of heavy tobacco smoking does less lung damage than one year of heavy daily marijuana use. Saying that while it's sad to see a 55 year old smoker disabled, Mr. Reid The May winners of the Wingham and District Asso- ciation for the Mentally Handicapped lottery draw are: Caroline Greenaway, Bluevale, who won the large trip draw valued at $1,500 and Mr. and Mrs. John predicted a higher incidence of younger people will be disabled by marijuana smoking "We haven't seen anything yet." The director told Huron Currie, Wingharn, who won the consolation trip draw of a weekend package valued at $100. Perth volunteers the Ontario office is designing more aggressive environmental and oecupational health programs, and putting a priority on public education programs. The history of the group which began in 1945 as the Ontario Tuberculosis As- sociation, he said, is one of change and adapting to the public's needs. Once TB was under control the group focussed on the prevention of other respiratory diseases and stop smoking programs, and became the Ontario Lung Association in the early '70's. Tobacco smoking is still a problem but Mr. Reid said public opinion is shifting and "in five to ten years we may work ourselves out of a job." Because public support is essential for the Lung Association's programs, the director said other fund raising events besides the annual Christmas seal campaign ("the backbone" of financial support, he, called it) are being developed, including the selling of holly at Christmas and a spring campaign in 1982. Mr. Reid was introduced by Helen Pletsch of Mitchell and thanked by Rev. Ted Nelson of Avonton. Wm. Leney of Stratford was elected president of the local lung association, succeeding Wm. Kinahan of R.R. 2, Lucknow. New vice- presidents are Michael Connolly, R.R. 2, Kippen, and Mr. Nelson. Other executive members are: Financial Advisor - Harold Bartman, Stratford; Committee Chairmen: Medical Advisory - Dr. Douglas Thompson, Stratford; Health Education - Eileen Beauchemin, Goderich, Community Services - Jean Cann, Exeter; Alice Green, Stratford and E. Doyle, Dublin, Christmas Seal - Edith Brothers - Stratford; Public Relations M. Dodds - Stratford.
