Non-smokers' rights
now taken up
by GASP supporters
The 'youth board of the
Huron -Perth TB and
Respiratory Disease
Association is launching a cam-
paign for non-smokers' righto
and its first project will be a
float in the centennial parade
in Mitchell >on July 1.°
The float will promote non-
smokers' - rights using the
"Gasp , (Group Against
Smokers Pollution) materials.
These plans were announced at
the annual meeting of the
Huron -Perth TB gespiratory
Disease Association' held at the
Community Centre Brodhagen,
Wednesday night.
Jack Hughes o1~ Simcoe, a
past president %of. the Ontario
.TBRDA who was the guest
speaker, said the anti-smoking
campaign started four years
a'go' by the federal government
was not the success it could
have been because cabinet
ministers. members of
parliament and other govern-
ment ..officials r'continue to
smoke- when being interviewed
on television.
Mr. Hughes was critical of
John 'Munro who introduced
the campaign, when he was the
health minister, and : usually
had a. cigarette going. when he
was on television, ,
Mr. Hughes suggested the
federal g.,vernment should
hand over more of the $600
•million it" receives annually'
from -tobacco taxes to cancer._
research.
-At present $1..4 million is
spent annually on resea'r~ch and
25 per cent of it was raisedby
the Canadian TBRDA and its
branches, Mr. Hughes reported.
He suggested that educating
people ab,ou,t. the dangers of
smoking will have more effect
in the long run than trying to
ban cigarette • companies from
advertising. He said it is im-
possible to ban cigarette
smoking completely; but as
more and more people find out
what smoking can dorto their
Lungs, s-wer and fewer people
will Smoke:
Mr. Hughes said there are
not as many people smoking now' as 'there used to' be but
there are more lady smokers
now. He expressed concern too
that a lot of young people are
smoking because it is the, thing..
return of 31;7 cents and the
population support 10.7 per.
cent, the highest in the
province. He reported the net
campaign receipts for the. -two
counties amounted to $30,518..
He said with thehelp of more
volunteer workers, the cam-
paign, costs were kept down,
. despite. inflation. •
Mr. Smith quoted Dr. N. C.
Delarue, a prominent, ,rchest .'
surgeon, who had said it is a-,
positive fact that one .in every
five persons is in hospital as a•
,direct result of cigarette
smoking. Or. Delarue had men-
tioned that the risks of alcohol
are mini,mal compared to
cigarette smoking.
t" Mr. Smith said, "We must be
concerned about the example
we set our children,", and.
quoted the old adage, an ounce
of prevention is .worth a pound
of cure,
Special music for the meeting
„attended by 125 guests ;was
provided by the intermediate
choir of .. Knox Presbyterian
Church, Stratford, under the
ci,;ection of Mrs. Joan Gaffney,

to do. '
'Once they start, it is hard to
stop", he said.
Mr: Hughes spoke about his
trip to Japan last year to .at-
tend The International Union
Against Tuberculosis. He com-
pared the 4,764 TB cases in
Canada in 1972, mostly among
the Indians and Eskimos, to
the millions with the disease in
the Far Eastern Countries
where it is running 'rampant
because of the pooy housing
conditions and the ove•r-
cr-owding.
Mr. Hughes concluded his"
talk by'saying that while ,,TB
has been brought under control
in Canada, it is not beaten, and
respirittory diseases present a
much wider field 'and more
funds are needed for research.
"I think our job as members
of this association is to educate
people what is Clone with their
Christman Seal dollar and if
you can show them it has been
spent wisely, ' then they'll con-
tinue to give the same or more
next year", he said.

Marketing. is the key to an

Phil Durand, head of the On-
tario Bean Marketing Board
told Huron county farmers last'
Thursday' night. -
Mr. Durand was speaking to
directors a members of the
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture at the monthly
meeting in Clinton.oHe told the
group ?iiii the recent trips
made by Bean Board officials
to -Europe and to the Pacific-
rifn countries to seek new
markets for Ontario beans.
He said that other producers
of commodities and livestock
needed .to form marketing
plans similar 'to the Bean
Board if they were to hope to
control their own future.
"The. sori •ir we establisb. a
National Marketing Pt,an,
where we control the product
the better," he said. Canadian
farmers, with the efficiency and
kriow•how iinrhatched by the
rest ,of tine world, should be
looking at foreign markets for
their produ( e. he said, but in
many cases they are having to
import produce they could be

Bean B.oard has allowed bean
producers to compete on price
and quantity anywhere in the
world, even though Canada is a
relative)y small bean -producing
,nation.
He predicted increases in the
buying, of Ontario white. beans
in such countries as Sweden
and Norway.
Mr. Durand said there is
great optimism for the future -of
bean production but that there
were some concerns. One of
these, he said, was that ' high
bean prices had brought too
much competition., He said
many farmers, attracted by
high. prices, are switching from -
other crops to beans instead of
building proper marketing
systems for the crops they grow
at present.
He also hit out' at Beryl
Plumptre of theFood Prices

had an average turn out. The
petition was available.to people
who wished to sign it. t}
A National Pro -Life Sym-
posium was `held, in Montreal
last Saturday sponsored by Les
Medecins du Quebec pour
Respect de)a,Vie, an anti abor-
tion Group which claims a
province wide membership of
nearly 3000. physicians.
' Dr. Jerome *Lejeune, a Paris
based genetiscist, told the
crowd of 5000 to prepare them-
selves for a long• and bitter
struggle to the end against the
new Mafia the international
abortionists. He never thought
-the, day would comes when
physicians would need to be
reminded that their. duty was to
care for people and not -to kill
them, he said. A two-month old'
fetus is capable of feeling and
reacting to even the slightest
stimuli - including it's own
murder, he added.
Dr. Roger Brault, director of
gynecology and obstetrics at
Laval University in Quebec
City, told the group there was
no medical justification for per-
forming therapeutic abortions.
It is a wornari's sdi ed duty,
"It .is a woman's sacred
duty," he said, "to ,, do
everything possible to best nur-
ture the child temporarily en-
trusted to her."
