Chatterton Electrical Contracting 1 983-5546 or 983-5940 Oronio, Ontario The magnitude of this grow- ing threat to our national health is reflected in the statistic that 150,000 hospital admissions from lung disease will occur this year in Ontario alone, at an estimated cost'of $114,000,000. It is also kniown that over 4 million Canadians suffer from respiratory ail- ments, and that lung disease is the single greatest cause of absenteeism by illniess, and the third leading cause of disability in Canada today. The Lung Association bas planned a Seminar for medi- cal professionals on Respir- atory Disease as part of its observance of the Week, and will also distribute special material throughout the Ele- mentary school system, and through Obstetrical and Ped- iatric Departments of most local hospitals. It is also making available, as a free Christmas Seal Service, cop- ies of the "Do-It-Yourself Quit Smoking Course", and Cold Weather Masks, for use by persons with severe respira- tory problems who suffer breathing difficulties on sud- den exposure to cold air. The plastic masks have a tube which is worn beneath cloth- ing, so that only warmed air is inahled, and are intended to be worn for only short period of time (such as between the bouse anca or between car and shopping centre).
