That last report On cigarette smoking, the big brutal one trom the U.S., has finally broken my nerve, The report says definitely that the death rate among eipok- ere, as compared to nOn-Sniels- ers, is ten times as high from lung cancer, 60 percent higher from coronary diseaee, and six times higher from pelmet:WY emphysema. I had no objection to passing away from a perfectly normal, respectable disease of the 20th century, like lung cancer or a coronary, but that pulmonary emphysema has me scared. It sounds nasty. I started smoking when I was about nine, in the old sandpit in my home town, A group of us urchins used to gather there and puff a dry weed known as "monkey tobacco," relied in toilet paper. By the time we were twelve we were well into "makings"; tobacco endpapers pinched from somebody's old man. My dad didn't smoke, so I was always bumming, and soon became persona non grata, as we used to say in the gang, Then I made a glorious dis- BY .AQRPQN.. .M.)3913,RINkAjzy.

MY lather had a shoe store, In those days, the shoe manufacturers Pat long rounded Strips of a bamboo-like dried reed in ladies' shoes, to help them keep their shape. This, stuff, when ignited, bu rned steadily, could be drawn through, and produced volumes of a blue, searing smoke that peeled the skin off your tongue like acid. I was a social success until my old man discovered that all the toes in his ladies' shoes were beginning to point to hea- ven. In high school I worried about my wind, for track and rugby, and smoked only a pipe. At col,- lege, I didn't smoke at all. Couldn't afford it. In the Air Force, I had the odd cigarette, but had no problem with smoke ing, In prison camp, I took the monkey on my back, and he's been using the spurs and lash ever since. Why? Food was scarce, but eigarettes, thaaks to the Red Cross and relatives at home, were fairly plentiful. My fellow-inmates told me emoking cut the appetite. I tried it. It did, Since then I have been a happy deck-a-day man. The smoking scares have come and gone, and I went right on blow- ing rings. But no more. Not with that pulmonary emphysema around. In a way, I'm glad it's all over.

We had another large crowd at our Saturday night dance. The Lucan teen town seem to have a hard time getting Phap- eroaes for their dances, It seems to me that it is the re- spoesibility of the parents to do this small thing for their children. after all this is part of their up-bringing, to make them good citizens of our court, try, or is it that some parents are more interested in having a good time, than giving their children a boost ep the ladder of life, The South Middlesex league have their usual three games here again this Thu r sday Ja.n.23 starting at 8:30, There will not be a Combines game here this Friday eight as they play in Exeter.
