Present petition to ban
smoking in cockpits
Huron County
Federation- s-eeks. CAC
The smoking sign in airline
cockpits may be turned off one of
these days. Permanently.
A group of commercial pilots
and two, public interest organiza-
tions have petitioned the Federal
Aviation. Administration to ban
smoking in cockpits • of all
commercial airlines. The petition
also requested a government rule
to- prohibit 'smoking by any
member of the flight crew within
eight hours of takeoff.
A 5Z.page report filed by the
Health Research Group said, "An
- airline pilot who smokes during or,
before a flight is •not merely`
choosing to poison himself, but he
is also endangering the lives oft
possibly hundreds of other;
people."
The report points out the
harmful effects of carbon'!
monoxide "from cigarette smoke
on smokers and nonsmokers.
Cirbon monoxide robs the body.
of the oxygen it needs and can
impair visual and auditory
perception, disturb psychomotor
, coordination, and slow down
reaction time.
Pilots flying high can get a
double-whammy effect. Smokers
usually have carbon monoxide
levels in their blood which range
from four to 15 per cent. Flying at
high altitudes, a crew .member
with a 5 per cent level of carbon
monoxide in the blood may
experience the equivalent effect
of a 10 per cent level.
Even a pilot who does not
smoke may experience eye and
throad, irritation, headaches,
nausea, and increased carbon
monoxide levels if others smoke
in the cockpit.A survey of
hundreds of pilots showed that 86
per cent said they could not do
their best work when others in the
cockpit were smoking, especially
during an approach to a landing.
To find out more about the
hazards of smoking, contact your
lung association - the Christmas

and Breath.
The Huron County Federation
of Agriculture is planning a
meeting this winter with
members ' of the Consumers
Association of Canada, in an
attempt to help close the gap
between farmers and consumers
and to share information,
Women members of the Huron
F. of A. planned the evening,
which will probably be held in
January with CAC members from
London, at the Federation's
meeting in Clinton Thursday
night.
The meeting would be for
information. There's no way
we're going to criticize each
other, one woman said. The
women hope that the CAC -and,
the Federation could get together
on issues of mutual concern,
wasteful packaging of food for
Pxample, and lobby for change.
"Then there's no way ,the
middlemen could say farmers
want' it or consumers want it,"
one person said. ! 'It's a project of
mutual. benefit, because we're
consumers too."
Farmer members of the Feder-
ation will explain their costs in
producing food to the consumers'
association members. "When
people find out what our costs are

can't believe we don't set our own .Federation members will also
