in Huron and Perth counties, local
associations such as the Cancer Society, the
Lung Association and the Heart Foundation
have been working diligently for six months
preparing to get the message "Join the ma-

indulge in cigarettes.
That phrase about joining the majority is

working, because ilt's easier to find a non-
smoker than a smoker these days.
'The Bluewater Regional Newspaper Net-
work, of which this paper ;is a member,
decided to find a few reformed smokers and
ask them how they quit.
By far, the majority of people quit -'cold
turkey', which involves a lot of plain old.
willpower.
Most of the people what one terms
"hard core smokers", smoking at least a
pack a day and some up to two and one-half
packs a day.
All of the people interviewed admitted
that they had tried several, no, many times
to quit the habit. What made them finally
give up the habit?
There are as many different reasons for
quitting as there are smokers who have
given up the weed. Generally though, there
seems to be something m a person's life
which triggers enough inc'-i!tive to quit the

"This time I left out the word try," said
the Bayfield woman.
She has an impressive record.
For 25 years Ms. Makins smoked at least
one large package of cigarettes a day. She
hasn't touched a cigarette in almost nine
years. She was facing surgery when she
finally gave up the habit.
Others report that support from loved
ones helped.
Dave Sykes of Goderich hasn't hied a
cigarette in just over a year. His wife was
expecting their second child at the time and
she stopped smoking, so Dave joined her.

HENSALL - After a delegation of Hensall
citizens complained about proposed town
hall renovation plans at last month's
meeting, Hensall councillors agreed at their
Jan. 9 meeting to shelve the proposal by ar-
chitect C.A. Ventin, calling it "too costly,
too disriiptive, and too controversial."
Instead, council decided to look for other
solutions to create more space for municipal
office staff and council chambers. These
will be presented at a public meeting Jan. 19
at the Hensall and District Community Cen-
tre.
"The plans are beautiful, and we do need
the extra space, but it's obvious that the last
drawing was much too costly", said Coun-
cillor Irene Davis.
Reeve Harry Klungel agreed, saying the
lack of space was obvious when delegations
come to council; a few extra people fill the
chariber.
Other concerns about the condition of

Budding Musicians
Nike Note
Are you a budding musician? Do you write your
own songs? Perhaps you would like to try to put
out your own record. Have you ever wondered
how?
There are two ways to start — you could go
straight to a record company and play a few of •
your tunes, or you could find an agent. Most
musicians try to find an agent; they're listed in
the Yellow Pages. Once you find an agent, phone
for an appointment and take in a cassette tape
recording of some of your songs.
If the agent likes your music, he or she will call
some record companies and try' to obtain -some
funding to make what's called a "demo tape."
Once the money is 'available, the agent will
arrange studio time, back-up musicians, har-
monies, and sheet music.
When you're in the studio all the different
instruments will go through a sound test until
eberyone is ready to "lay down a track." Tapes
can have up to 24 tracks and each Tithe call be
recorded separately. When all • the parts of the
song are on tape, it is lacquered for preservation
and sent to a record cutter.
The record company has a needle that is very
sensitive to the different sound vibrations of each
note on the tape. While the tape is being played,
the needle squiggles through a soft netai —
sort►etirnes-gold _.to-nl'alte—a-mold-,fors:-plastic
records to be pressed from. The company then
puts the records into jackets and sends them
to radio stations for airing. '
Just think, one day you may find yourself in a
studio!

Starkey attended a class conducted by the

had manyprofesSionols speak to it including
doctors and.. the weigl t -loss group Take Off

He didn't want to be one of the people who
quit the class so he stuck to it. Mr. Starkey
also made a comment about all the
literature or "propaganda", as he termed it,
that various groups push through the school
system.
He says the propaganda brought home
from school by his children pushed him into
the class.

Listowel, who hasn't hada cigarette for 10
years. "I wanted a cigarette for darn near a
