Hidden information about smoking makes me sick
From Page 4
It's not enough that they knowingly sell products that when used as
directed, only do harm, but they talk about it like they're doing some form
of noble humanitarian gesture by helping control overpopulation.
You would hope that over the years, these large companies would have
changed their outlooks, as we all got smarter, but don't hold your breath.
During her presentation Lovell said about tobacco companies, "Nobody
likes to be taken for a fool, and that's what's happening."
These companies thought they could get away with anything.
Unfortunately, I can only say, they're partly wrong.
Back when the big tobacco companies hid this information, the public
was unaware of the the damage to their bodies they were doing, but today I
cannot say the same, and I can only assume why so many still smoke.
Addiction is a powerful weapon, one the tobacco companies have wielded
upon the public willingly.
Nicotine addiction's hold on .your body and mind is not an easy one to
break.
Smokers are proof, the big tobacco companies, with their lack of integri-
ty, knew what they were doing.
As for me, reading these unbelievable quotes, and the many, many more
available at www you-are-the-target.com, make me sick,
which coincidently is the same reaction I would have if I
smoked a cigarette.

Teachers influence
more than a
child's mind,
says reader
To the Editor,
Your news story of the Oct. 05 publication, "St. Columban
has new principal, vice principal,” calls for something more
than academic qualifications (indoctrination) as we experi-
ence the quality of some of the products from our knowledge
boxes (learning institutions) of our present era.
To illustrate what we are commenting on here, we turn to
the pages of my favourite book, "Leaves of Gold." we quote.
The builder builded a workhouse, He wrote with care and
skill; Pillars and groins and arches were fashioned to meet
his will; And men said when they saw its beauty; "It shall
never know decay. Great is thy skill. 0 Builder, Thy fame
shall endure for aye."
A teacher builded a workplace; She wrought with skill and
care; Forming each pillar with patience, Laying each stone
with Prayer. None saw the unceasing effort, None knew of
the marvellous plan; For the workplace the teacher builded,
Was unseen by the eyes of man.
Gone is the builder's workhouse, Crumbled into, the dust -
Pillar and groin and arches - Food for consuming rust. But
the workhouse the teacher builded, Shall endure while the
ages roll; - For the beautiful unseen workhouse, Was a
child's immortal soul.
