Male smokers cut lifespan A 35 -year-old male smoker risks cutting his lifespan by 10 years and a woman the same age will fare only slightly better, the senior vice-president of Sun Life Assurance Company says. "It may be slow suicide. but it is suicide nonetheless," Donald Gauer said in a speech to the World Conference On Smoking And Health in Winnipeg this July. A non-smoking woman, aged 35, can ex- - :ct to live to the age of 83. But a heavy smoker can only expect to live to the age of 76, Gauer said. The risk is worst for men, Gauer said. A 35 -year-old non-smoking male can expect to live another 47 years, but a heavy smoker can expect to live only 37 more years. Sun Life's statistics also show the propor- tion of smokers is lower among married couples, those with a hii hey income or pro- tessional people. Among married applicants, the propor- tion of women smokers was 27 per cent, while 34 per cent of single women and 43 per cent of divorced women smoked. About 42 per cent of male applicants listed themselves as smokers in 1980, a decline from 44 per cent in 1969. About 30 per cent of women applicants list themselves as smokers. But Gauer noted that the ratio of smoking to non-smoking women was considerably higher in younger age groups. About 35 per cent of women between the ages of 15 and 30 were listed as smokers. Over three and a half million Cani dians have quit smoking - so it can be done. Your lung association is ready to help smokers become nonsmokers. Call them today at 271- 7500.

Four streamlined job creation programs that help business help Canadian workers. Many individuals, organizations and businesses have expressed an inter - ..est in doing their part to help ease Canada's unemployment problems. These programs are designed to turn this interest into action. Program Consolidation Canada's 12 employment programs have been streamlined into four flexible new programs: Canada Works, Career -Access, LEAD, and the Job Corps Program. Each of these programs has been designed to make it easier for job seekers, and to encourage private sector participation. Each generates long term employment benefits, and helps people now. And all share a focus on Canadian youth. CanadaWorks Canada Works will provide immediate term employment to thousands of laid -off workers, people whose Unemployment Insurance benefits have run out, those who now depend on social assistance, and people who need work badly. Summer jobs for students will also be made available through this program. Over the next two years, more than $865 million will be spent to employ workers in projects that either add to Canada's productive capacity, or benefit individual com mu- nities. Sponsorship from organizations, businesses and indi- viduals is required to make it happen. 1+ Canada Works projects will ordi- narily employ three or more workers for up to 52 weeks, and he eligible for federal financial support of up to $325 per worker, per week. Applications tiIr Canada Works projects must he submitted to your local Canada Employment Centre or Employment Development Branch office no later than October 28, 19830 LEAD The LEAD program provides the tools for communities, ( usually those with populations under 50,000 ), to build their own solutions to their unemployment problems. LEAD involves local residents in the plan- ning, management and ownership of new ventures designed to create employment now, and in the future. Proposals from Chambers of Com- merce, economic development asso- ciations, hand councils, municipali- ties and LEAD corporations will result in nearly $200 million being invested in community ventures over the next two years. Job Corps Job Corps is designed to help organi- zations, businesses, individuals, municipalities and school hoards introduce severely employment disadvantaged people to the world of work. A combination of life skills training, and actual job experience in controlled work situations will help ease this group into the labour mar- ket. The main focus of the Job Corps Program is youth. Individuals whose lack of education, job experience, mental, phy- sical or social problems have prevented them from entering the work force will benefit. Over the next two years, Job Corps will pro- vide over $66 million in wages and other program costs. Career -Access Career -Access is designed to give the inexperienced, the disabled and the disadvantaged a chance to prove themselves. The program provides wage subsi- dies which can be as high as 85% and extend for up to 12 months, to employers who provide the suppor- tive on-the-job learning and expe- rience that these people are looking for. Over the next two years, more than 5210 million will he spent on this program. The main focus of Career -Access is youth. By helping these Canadians increase their skills, the business community can help itself by devel- oping experienced employees for future growth. The Government of Canada will spend over $1.3 billion on direct job creation programs in 1983-84/84-85. More than 300,000 individuals will benefit from a combination of fund- ing from government, and enter- prising ideas from the business community and the non-profit sector. y.� Employment and Immigration Canada John Roberts, Minister Emploi et Immigration Canada John Roberts, Ministre For more informa- tion on Canada Works, LEAD, Job Corps and the Career -Access Pro- gram, visit your local Canada Employment Centre.
