And the sharpest iu- creases were at very young ages: 13, 14, aud 15. Why? A recent article iu Seventeen, called "Beating the Cigarette Hfabit", intervlewed teenagers in- depth. One teenager who bati started smoking at '15 said, 'Tou thiuk it's neat, cool, older-loop- ing9, decadent, se you bave te smioke, too," she explained; "My first, boy trienti smoked, andi 1 learrncd from, him." Surveys show that tecuage girls rarcly buy their own first pack et cig- arettes. They are almost always oftered to them or even urged upýon tbema. The social pressure te smnoke said, "is strong in many youjng circles, How one comes .across te others is uppermost.

LOCDAL CAR STOLEN IN TORONTO PARKING LOT On Saturday of last 'weekMr John Witheridge, of the Orono Public School staff, bad bis car, stolen trom a parking lot in tbe city ot Toronto. As of Monday ev- ening tbe. car bad flot been re-. porteti by the clty police. At the time of parking tl* car Mr. Wither;dge was asked te, leave the keys in the car se it could ble moved. if se requireti. The key was to e l eft under the car mat. If's nef good for you but if makes yen 'dangerous.' Newadays al- most everyone knows smoking is bati for yeu. But girls really needti tat chance te show fhey are tougli andi net atraid et the world."1 Trying te look cool is one big reason for teenage smoking. But, more surprisingly, s0 is paretal example. Several stuti- ies show that girls tend te fol- low their mothers' smoking bce- havior andi disregard their tathers'. Between 1955 andti1970 the rates for women smokers increased; the rates for men ac- tually declineti. Changing the swinging, cool image et the smoker - created bY billions of advertising dollars over decades - is ne simple as- signnfn.
