Mac sent the fol- lowing letter while they were en route from Florida to Cana- da. • April 17, 1969 En route Dear Friends: Just to add a few highlights to our trip we had every kind of weather. Bangkok and Singa- pore about 98 degrees when we arrived, Hongkong 78 degrees and when we arrived in Tokyo. they had the worst snow -storm on record—6 inches. Just a usu- al snow -storm in Wingham but they seldom get snow. Th e schools were nearly all closed. ,They hadn't even a snow shovel. They were using boards, sticks and sharp pointed shovels. Arrived on the Super Express bullet .train 4.30 p. rn. on. Sat- urday. I never saw such a . mov- ing mass of people as was in the. main railway station. I.thought the 11.million people of Tokyo were all there. Without .the Cook's Travel agent meeting our train 'don't know what we would have done. He brought a man with a type of human yoke and straps to carry our two large bags to a taxi. No bag- gage cars on ktrains. Your bags are stored in the end of your coach and put on the platform You take them from there. With out help it would be terrible and a .very long distance from train to taxi. Tokyo is by far the w ors t place I ever s a w for traffic. Taxi fare is extremely cheap. Everybody uses taxis for even 3 or 4 blocks. They just shove theirway through and get there. Nevertheless we really enjoyed Japan. They like Canadians. I wore my Maple Leaf button everywhere till we got to Hon- olulu. . After a short stay in Honolu- lu we flew to the. Island of Maui, •The Maui Lee Motel was fine but we found it very .quiet ° and only stayed a week. We rented a rambler car, almost new with automatic equipment. We met friends there from Toronto. People said we Must see the big high mountain (over 10,000 feet to the top) and look into the Haleakala extinct volcano. It was 22 miles from bottom to top of the mountain. So on Sunday morning we went to the mountain and up, up we went, the, cliffs were terrible, the . ,,,, road very narrow and practical- ly no'guide fences.: Oli'tboy, what sharp curves. and s tee p grades. A real nerve tester. We got to an observatory only to find we were only 7,900 feet up. Thecar was hot and stall- ing. However, we decided to go to the top observatory, being advised to move about slowly because of thin a' r and not enough oxygen atis height.

GEORGE ., Sax 299 BLYTH, ONTARIO Phone 523.9217 regional government as it is now being planned. Claiming that regional gov- ernment was taking representa- tion out of the hands of the lo- cal people, the resolution said that it would result in people be. coming "apathetic" towards government. As an example, Tuckersmith Council said that voter turnout for last year 's county school board members was small except where muni- cipal representatives were also being elected. The resolution also expressed the opinion that centralization would increase the cost of gov- ernment and place an unjust tax burden on rural residents. Stressing the probability of higher costs, the township coun- cil stated that in 1968 assess- ment costs for the County o f Huron were approximately $50,- 000 50,-000 while under provincial take- over in 1969 it will cost an esti- mated $200,000. For these reasons, the resolu- tion stated that it hoped the "subject of regional government will be given long and serious consideration". As presented • now, it concluded, it is being opposed for Huron and for all of Southwestern Ontario.

There were no signs to say not to go so fool- ish me, I was going to the very top when I was so close. That's where I was so wrong. We went around the sharp steep curves for at least.2 miles. past 3 extremely large„ metal saucers and landed abruptly on an as - phalt pad about 22 feet wide and 45 feet long. The l i t t l e white dome at the end, that was it. To look out we,were above the clouds. Miles away we could see the Pacific Ocean ands one d(rection through openings in the Clouds w e could sec the city of HisktIau airport 30 miles away. I never was so scared and the car stalling continually. No personaround and I know I had to get turned around. I couldn't look beyond the little asphalt surface for fear I'd faint I don't know yet how, but I did get turned with Muriel's help. 1 Next day I learned we had no business being there. at all„ It was only used by men with small cars and was the satellite tracking station. A few days later I met a lady in Honolulu who lived on Maui Island. I told her where .1 had gone. and she said, "Oh my! You should not go up there. You. can't tum your car". I said, "Lady, please don't tell me, I had to , turn!:". The reason the car was stalling was lack of oxygen. • Down at the observatory s e v e r a l cars were stalling.

Some drown themselves. These are the traditional ways of committing suicide. They are quick. There are slower ways of cutting a few years off one'iS life and thousands -- about ten thou- sand Canadians a year take this way of leaving their ' family and friends prematurely. They smoke a package or more of cigarettes daily. They do this despite the urging of medical societies, voluntary health agencies and very often `" their personal physicians. For at least 12 years these warnings have bee'i quite. clear. One of the first, the Doll -Brad- ford Hill Report was published in 1957 in the British Medical : Journal, surely a sufficiently august paper to impress anyone. Next came the report of the Surgeon General of the United States, an even more extensive study. There was nothing uncertain about the findings. They pointed out that smoking cigarettes increased the danger of • cancer of the lungs, cancer. of the bladder, heart disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis enormously. These studies have been followed by a flood of others in countries dotted all over the world, rich countries and poor countries. They all came up with theeame answer. No matter where you live if you smoke a package of cigarettes or more a day, you are more likely to die prema- turely of the diseases listed above than if you don't smoke. The reply of the smokers almost uniformly is "Well, you have to die of something." The Canadian Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association has something to say in reply to that. You may have to live with emphysema, which means living, but struggling for every breath, for years and years. There are people with emphysem# living in wheel chairs. There are people with emphysema who must be waited on like invalids, month after month. It isn't pleasant for them or those around them. In fact it is pitiful. Eight out of ten of the victims of -this disease have been cigarette smokers. To anyone who smokes habitually the Canadian TB - RD Association says "Go to the nearest TB - RD Association and get a pamphlet EMPHYSEMA : THE FACTS or YOU'RE BREATHING TROUBLES -- UNDERSTAND THEM, FACE THEM, TREAT THEM." And quit smoking. 4 6 CHRISTMAS SEALS FIGHT Tuberculosis Emphysema ---- Air Pollution IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE. ANI) BREATH Huron . Perth Ts ar,J RD 121 WelIIngt n Sf. 01.1 V1.7308 $trstf.vd •
