Interviewed because of his ehaimanhipof the Christinas Seal drive in Metro, Judge Little challenged the Fodoral Govern- nment to put Tobacco Companies eut of business. The Governmont knows smoking causes Lung can- Cer, but, it compromises with To- bacco Lobbyists because without maintaining the popularity of smoking, the Goveriment faces 'the task of renlacîng the annual ,350 million dll ars it recives from tobacco sales.

But as timo went, on, research tended more and more to find tobacco use guilty for a great percentage of respiratory, dis- ease that was becomiing increas- ingly common. There is no 'law against a man wlio wants to smoke and inhale cancer-produc- ing agents , continued Judge Little, "but tlie poison should not be foisted on dhldren,", INe pointed out that, while the police have conducted a venit- able witch- hunt agînst m1ari- juana, thcy have been looking the other way as stores broke theý Mncrs Protection Act by (Continued on page 3) Heather Rebekah Lodge The Regular Meeting of Heath- er Rebekah Lodge was held Tues- day, November 28, with Sîster Carole BoYd, Noble Grand, offie- iating and Sister Isabelle Trimm, Vice Grand assisting.
