GAI COUPLAND A local doctor said in Osh- awa recently that each cigar- ette takes 11 minutes of a heavy smoker's life. We ask- ed six people why they smoked and if they intended to give it up. Gai Coupland, Pickering: "I don't smoke so it wouldn't affect me at all. I wouldn't suggest anyone give up smoking. don't mind if they smoke. And I don't really know if what he Says is so.

There's got to be some con- nection with cancer but not everyone will get it. I don't find smoking too expensive as I average a pack in about three days but I think I'll give it up anyway."

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP)--A brief to the joint Senate-Com- mons committee on consumer prices Wednesday claimed a family of two adults and four children in Newfoundland must spend $40 weekly for just the basic food necessary for a healthy diet. Another claimed that a new home here without any extras costs $22,500 and a prospective buyer needs an annual income | of $7,000-$8,000. '> # Prosper Boulanger, a member of the commission, replied to the Newfoundland Consumers Asso- ciation that the basic food for a family of six in Montreal would "not go over $30." He told a spokesman for Memorial Uni- versity's Women's Club that a basic new home in Montreal could be bought for $14,500 on an income of $5,500 a year. Commissioner Grace MacIn- nis raised the possibility the government might be asked to set up a consumer's show, pos- sibly through an arrangement with CBC television. Mrs. G. M. Walsh, president of the local consumer's associ- ation, said this would be a val- uable aid to consumer educa- tion and a similar show was held here. each Christmas by the association to display the dollar value of various toys.

"I'm a non-smoker. I just don't care for it but I don't mind others smoking. There must be something be- tweén cancer and heavy smoking. But if people smoke a few cigarettes, it won't hurt them. It's a different story if they smoke a lot. It's got to do something to a per- son's health if they smoke heavily and it's expensive too." Hugh Perry, 326 Ken St., Whitby: "I tried smok- ing once about five or six years ago but I couldn't see the point of it so I quit. Smoking is a health hazard as far as I know. That's bas- ing it on hearsay mostly but First National's withdrawal from Mercantile. SOFT ON NATIONAL? Mr. Gordon's nationalistic line was that Canada was too soft on First National, given five years to sell the bulk of its Mercantile shares to get down tu the pro- posed 25-per-cent foreign owner- ship limit. The Commons finance com- mittee worked out the disposal arrangements last week after First National lost a stiff fight to keep control of Mercantile. First National, under the chairmanship of James Rocke- feller, had sought to throw out a proposed Bank Act revision halting Mercantile's growth as long as foreign ownership amounted to more than 25 per cent of its shares. Mr. Gordon, long a supporter of increased Canadian control of the domestic economy, sought a tougher stance in cab- inet over the objections of the more orthodox Sharp. There were unconfirmed re- ports that Mr. Gordon, who was taken back into the cabinet two months ago after resigning as finance minister in 1965, threat- ened to resign again on the STEVE OLEKSUIK dyn inti up its juices, often hurt the quality of food items and some- times added to their costs. Mrs. MacInnis asked if "people would buy the plain package without the frills and fancy packaging." Mrs. Walsh felt the knowledge h would recgnize that Sea Death Toll Reaches 35 HALIFAX (CP) --The death toll in a series of savage At- lantic storms officially reached 35 Wednesday when all hope was abandoned for the seven- man crew of the Lockport, N.S., fishing vessel Polly and Robbie.

I just can't see how he broke it down to 11 minutes for each cigarette. I don't expect to ever start smoking again." James Bruce, 349 Marland Ave.: "I don't be- lieve him. Both my parents never smoked in their lives but both died young, my fa- ther from cancer. I don't pay much attention to people who say things like that. Some people smoke and drink heavily all their lives and they live to a ripe old age.

There were reports of a cabinet clash last week be- tween Finance Minister Sharp, and Walter Gordon, minister without portfolio, over the Mercantile Bank issue. The dispute was said to have been resolved with a tougher policy on placing the U.S.-owned: bank under ma- jority Canadian ownership.
