ear Sir:-
You are aware; no doubt, Chat
he theme for the nationwide
bservance of National Education
eek on Smoking is - '`Non-Smok:
Ts Have Rights Tool" The dates
re Jai-Mary 11-18, 1975.
We are making an effort to
cquaint our community with the.
cientific evidence which shows
hat cigarette smoke can be harna=
ul to. non-srriokers. Studies in
Moke filled rooms indicate that the
evel of carbon monoxide may be in
xcess• of the legal limits for air
ollution. Exposure to such
oncentrations of CO, can be a
azarcl to people suffering from '
Ilergies, heart and respiratory
onditions.
Many people with none of the
bove conditions are discomforted
y tobacco smoke. So it is
&teasingly important to protect
onsmokers, especially in enclosed
ublic places, public conveyances
nd in many work situations.
moking and Health Week should
e considered "Consideration
eek" -- consideration of 'non.-
mokers who may be discomforted
y tobacco smoke.
We have asked 'the co-operation
f municipal and county councils in
he area in proclaiming the week
'Non-Smoking" or "Consideration
eek". We hope they will ratify
he "Non-Smokers Bill of Rights"
orwarded 'to them.
We. regret that one of the Town
ouncils has denied the proclama-
ion •and has criticized this type of
reventive programme. This pro-
ramme would cost us very little
nd our hard working Education
omMittee still believes that "an
nee of prevention is worth a
ound of cure".
Our Association is composed of .
oncernedtitizens from, all areas of
he two counties.. They give many
olunteer hours to the Association,
nd its work. The implied criticism

ladies what steps had been taken
towards obtaining water for 'the

Funds are not Spent on publicity
per se. . Each committee .plans
programmes to aid all our people,'
either directly or indirectly.and in
order to make programmes worth-
while; ' a Coming Event type of
publicity ,is used. We . do not
receive any government grants and
charitable gifts received are bud-
geted to the best of representative
ability. At our Annual Meeting all
are invited to hear reports of the
stewardship ' of funds. We also'"
encouragg visits to our office to
glean the extent of our activities.
For example, .the programme the
Council' mentioned above suggest-
ed, has been in effect for approx-
imately six years, to the extent
budget will allow.
Approximately sixty percent of
adults are non-smokers! We hope
CouncilS in the area will help these
involuntary victims of "tobacco
smoke to obtain the right to a clean
and healthy environment! .
Yours very truly,
Beryl Davidson.

HOES
Agricultural
Tidbits,
We are pleased .to note that the
Ontario Government, at. last is .
listening to farmers' complaints'
that, while the erection of livestock
'buildings is limited in regard to
distance to dwellings, no limit is
placed on the .erection of dwellings
in relation to distance to livestock
buildings. Some farms'were
limited in expanSion of their
operations because 'someone sold a
piece of land and the buyer put up a
houSe, and then started complain-
ing about the good country air not
being agreeable with his city
nostrils. Change is on the way.
The Ontario government iS drafting
legislation to make a house subject
to the same regulations as a
livestock unit: It took a long time,
as is usual with governments, but
many a farmer will feel more
secure in" the knowledge that his
livelihood' is no longer threatened
`by this kind of intrusion.

Some rather interesting perusal
Of Statistic 'Canada's 'figures on
disposable income and on food
purchasing were done by the OFA
research department. It shows that
in 1960 the food purchased across
the country was 21.6% of dispos-
able income. This percentage
dropped steadily to its lowest point
in 197.1 whet was 17,4%. After
this it began rising to 18.2% in
1.973, still well below all years
before 1968. It cost more to eat in
restaurants than to eat , at home.
Yet the money spent to eat out rose
from 15 to 18% of the disposable
income. Give's one pause to think a
bit doesn't it?
Died In 89th Year.
All the clamour to keep up with
the cost of inflation is'. not really
fair. If the cost Of food rises by .ten
percent, this means that the
pensioners' cost of living increases
by thewhole ten percent, .for that is
