Dr. Service's life has been one of great dedication as a Doctor and as a member of the United Church, Dr. Service was asked to speak on Alcohol and Drugs and "based his address on the harmful results from smok- ing and the use of alcohol - both of which are socially acceptable. On the subject of smoking Dr. Service said "In 1976 more than 9,000 Canadians will die of lung cancer - (34 of the population of Lindsay) In 1930, 250 Canadians died of lung cancer. In 1962, 4,500 Canadians died of lung can- cer and in 1974, 12 years later, 9,000 died of lung cancer. But, the total of the excess deaths from all con- ditions caused by smoking, lung cancer constitutes just 20 percent. ~~--Bronchitis and --emphy- --sema has a much higher death risk than cancer of the lungs. The death rate of emphysema, has doubled every five years since 1945. Heart disease is a much more serious problem than lung cancer and emphysema. Regarding alcohol, Dr. Service concluded "the attitude in our United Church in the last 15 years 220 COCHRANE ST. PORT PERRY has mirrored the greater social acceptance of alcohol in society at large. The W.C.T.U. has become mori- bund; there is little said at the pastoral level in Church members responsibility to this issue. Dr. Service also. said that alcohol is the third leading cause of death in North America, exceeded only by cancer and heart disease.
