Smoking on the- decine - NO by Gord Milis Almast everyone we know, has either quit smoking, or is seriously thinking af giving it up - (there are exceptions). This has lead us, in the mare deveîoped -cauntries, ta assume that smoking is an the decline, but facts reveal that thîs just isn't true. The use af tabacco has jumped by about 75 per cent worldwide in the past twenty years, creating a time bamb that will even- tually kilI 200 million people now under the age of t wenty, the experts say. Alihough cigarette smoking is falling off in the developed coun- tries, it is on the increase in Africa, Latin America, and Asia as tobacco companies seek out new markets. These facts, are of grave concern, ta the Council of Scientific Affairs of the American Medical Associa- tion.

Seniors, represent about one- third of the hospital's in-patients, and more than haîf of their long- term care patients. At the hospital, recreational therapy plays a major role in fulfill- ing the senior's physical, social in- tellectual, spiritual and emotional needs. On Friday of last week, the hospital's Recreational Therapist, Linda Hargreaves, wth her staff, staged a Wheelchair-A-Thon. Pa- tients who participated, lined up. their wheelchairs for the start of a race around the hospital. The signal ta "start your My previous job often took me into Toronto, but for the last few months 1 have stayed back in the rustic, tractor-intensive regions of Orono, Kendal, Kirby and Newton- ville. A fcw days ago 1 was in ',ronto, and was surprised that engines-~ was given by a pistai shat from the hospital president, Mr. Murray Elston. The event gat off ta a very even start, with the racers competing for cash from their spon- sors - the hospital staff. The cash raised goes ta the recently formalized Residents Council at the hospital. This count- cil will enable the patients ta exer- cise their own decision making, en- courage them ta take pride in their home, and foster a sense of belong- ing. The Wheelchair-A-Thon ended n a good note - a barbecue, enjoyed by everyone, ta conclude a fun day for the Seniors of Bowmanvilie Memorial Hospital. Torontonians are really attempting a be polite. 1 mean at least they are not pretending ta hate everybody. 1 noticed that car-drivers were very <t houghtfully allowing pedestrians as much>as .3 seconds ta get out of the Way, even though technically, a car has no right on the sidewalk. Another example of politeness 1 noticed was that somebody ridiculed my clothes. Everybody in Toronto, including police horses, dresses fashionably, and whenever 'm there, even in my sharpest funeral-quality suit, with no visible signs of ketchup stains, 1 feel as though I'm dressed in a green trash bag. Another thing 1 noticed in Toronto, was the fashionable guys had haircuts which the hair is real long on top, but abruptly stops halfway down the head - like real cool. This made me a little paranoid about my own hair, after ail 1 have stuck with my "style" now for over 55 years. Nobody, in Toronto had my style of haircut since the depres- sion, yet nobody made fun of it. As I walked around Queen's Park, 1 noticed some of the politi- clans with worse haircuts than mine. They looked so bad that they must have received them from their constituency 'offices by fax machine. Contrary to generai belief, Queen's Park is still the hub of On- tario's decision making, it has not been converted to luxury con- dominiums as some people would have you believe. It is still perform- ing the vital function that it was established ta perform in our troubled times, namely, multi receptions for foreign dignitaries or closed for holidays. Since 1 was in the area of decision making, I decided to use some proven jour- nalismn techniques, like talking toaa person, standing next ta me. Me: "What are you doing down here?" Person: -1 study economics." Me: "How are things going then?" Person: "Better." Unfortunately, at that point the person walked away, but neyer- theless 1 had what we journalists call the "main thrust" of a story. It was definitely a load off my mind, I could now escape the wrath of the "Times President" and produce a story for the newspaper in time to make this Wednesday's edition.. Phew!!! what a relief - until next week.
