Pushing The Panic Bution
' Therecent report of the U.S'. Public
•
Health Service on cigarette smoking' and
the associated . incidence of lung cancer,
leaves little doubt that heavy: -and -prolonged
:smoking can be, and is, a definite health
hazard. . .. •. • .
As such, • it is important and:' . urgent
that'..the dangers inherent in: the "coffin
nails" are publicized and emphasized. Par-
ticularly should young .'people: bediscour-
aged ` from, starting to 'smoke: No longer,
should:` •;`draggy `g the fag" be ' glainorited
and 'regarded by teenagers is: the .;smart.
thing ` to ' do:
It: seems, ''.however,' that ' the subject
has reached the stage of .ushing the panic
button;_ as to ways• and means.: of :. "scaring"
smokers into ,kicking the habit. The em- •
phasis on the dangers of smoking, .to the
point of ° labelling cigarette packs in this':
regard, seems- out ':of` relative :.proportion
to the official concern over other health
hazards.
The "skull and crossbones figur-
atively- speaking, could be applied to many
of the -habits or demands :of everyday life,
which c•ertainlydon't contribute to longe•-

Otte °' could. go'„ on a_and on. '' We` don't
for' a minute minimize or ridicule the health
hazards which, Are being attributed 'to,cig-
arette smoking, and the importance of the
public being ' made 'aware of these hazards.
But, as a two -pack a day smoker, 'who

Wewerent' too ' optimistic.' that you can • lec-

Such action, if it is to be permanent,
will most likely stem from;. a:. personalcon-

ty, Mr, . F.- R. Oliver, led off for
the Opposition in reply to the
Speech from .the Throne. Mr. Ol-

liv :r attacked the Government for
lack of. economic planning in this
Province. He pointed ' out . that
Norther . Ontario. has an abun-
dance of Mining wealth" which
hasn't even been 'scratched as ,yet..
If this had, been, done years ago,
this area ' 'would now . .be produc-
ing abundantly. , and .could .there
fore' be creating ..considerable more
wealth' in this Province than is
now being produced. He suggest-
ed -that 'a 4 -lane highway be built
to open up the North and almost
automatically, industry andde-
velopment would follow, ,
"Conservation in general .and
water conservation in particular
