A messae to smokers:
To the Ei;tor:
To all smokers - on bel of all non-
smokers - would like to ask you one sim-
ple question. Why do you smoke? Is at fun?
Do you do it to be part of the gang? 'o you
enjoy breathing dangerous chem1c is into
your lungs then exhaling to con ; mrninate
everyone else's dean air?
If there are no answers to these ques-
tions, then why bother? It is just a waste of
money and a hazard to your health and to
the health of others.
I know a lot of people who smoke and it
bothers .me to think of how many of those
people .could die because of .diseases caus-
ed by smoking. My father tells me that
smoking causes no pain compared to that
Teachers'
workshop
was successful
e
Dear Editor,
The Ontario Public School Teachers'
Federation - Huron wants the residents of
Huron County to know of the tremendous
Professional Development Day held on Oc-
tober 24 in Exeter. The theme was
"Agriculture in the Classroorn".• It dealt
with the easily obtained resources available
for teachers to use with their agriculturally
related curriculum topics. Many commodi-
ty groups participated to answer numerous
questions from teachers wishing current
information.
Jack Wilkinson, representing the Ontario
federation of Agriculture, talked of stress on
the farm and of what teachers should be
aware and how they can help their students.
A Huron County bountiful lunch was
prepared by the Huron South District
Women's institute to illustrate the quantity
and wide variety of crops grown by our far-
ming neighbours. This same group
presented four Agri -Kits to the Huron Coun-
ty Board of Education. These materials are
fully prepared to be used in classrooms and
were well received by teachers. Jack Rid-
dell, Ontario Agriculture Minister .spoke of
the impact agriculture has on our world and
addressed the challenges facing the farming
sector. He did feel there is a future in farm-
ing and felt teachers with the task of making
our next :generation more aware of the food
industry and becoming informed consumers
of food products.
The teachers' federations supported and
helped organize the day along with the
Huron County Federation of Agriculture,
Huron South District Women's Institute, On-.
tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food -
Huron County Office and the Huron County
Board of Education. OPSTF-Huron as one of
those sponsors feels special recognition
must be pucl tally paid to numerous donors
and exhibitors who made the . day so.

Mail service

To the Editors ,
I just thought your rural readers should
know that Canada Post Corporation has
brought out a new•raling that all rural mail
couriers'. contracts will go up for tender at
the end of every five-year contract.
So, a new rural courier every five years.
Good-bye dependable, friend -of -the -
family, through rain, sleet and snow, rural
mail courier,

of drugs or drinking. I admit that «; ugs
and .alcohol cause a°lot of pain to many
famrnilies, :tut, isn't there pain if someone
dies of Cancer because they were a
smoker?
I get very angry when my friends or my
father picks up a cigarette. I bother them
about it but they think I am kidding and
blow the smoke in my face. It is no joke
and it is hard for me to prove I am serious.
What do I have to do to show people that I
care about what happens to them?
I know people who don't ordinarily
smoke who will go to a party and, smoke
just because everyone else is doing it. Half
of those people don't even like smoking but
I,ucknow SentLQll9 Wei n esday, Octebeal 299 11984 --Page 5
Why do you smoke?
they do it to be part of the crowd and they
don't want to be left out. Why risk your
health to be part of e gang? There are
many more ways to become pop ' i ar
without smoking.
Think of us noxa -smokers, Do you think
we like breathing in that stuff? Second-
hand smoke is just as dangerous, if not
more dangerous, than what you are inhal-
ing. How would you feel if someone close to
you died because they breathed in your
second-hand smoke? Doesn't that bother
you, even if just \a little?
So if you are sitting there, smoking a
cigarette right now, think about
everything I have written. If you don't take
TO
me seriously then that is your fault. But
please think about it. Think about your
health and the health of others around you.
Please don't smoke. The risks are not
worth it.
A concerned non-smoker
