This is the involves the removal of cigarettes from the store. However, the programme doesn't seem to be catching on like wildfire. Out of nine drugstores surveyed in Penetanguishene, none was intending to participate in the CPA programme to the extent that Whitfield is, let alone doing away with cigarettes. One druggist in Barrie explained the situation this way. The economic aspect of the issue seems to be more the moral Drugstores today sell much more than drugs. Cigarettes are often used as a loss leader, that is, they are sold at or Cigarettes going under counter _ by KATY AUSTIN Cigarettes will soon be gone from in Whitfield's Pharmacy in Peter Whitfield, the store owner, plans to remove them from the display area behind the cashier. Instead they will be stored within the cashier's reach, but in a place where customers can't see them. "T felt a professional responsibility said Whitfield. As a man whose job it is to advise people about he should not be promoting tabacco, which is known to below the cost to the owner, in order to attract customers, who will buy other goods inthestore. A pharmacy owner may thus argue that he must sell cigarettes in order to compete with his rivals, drugstores and convenience stores alike. In the case of drugstores which are part of a large chain, the decision is often out of the hands of the store owner. For example, the Shoppers Drugmart chain is owned by the Imperial Tobacco Company, which is not likely to condone a ban on cigarettes. Another case in point, said the druggist in Barrie, is the Boots chain. When they first came to North America from England, they dealt only slightly with tobacco. Now, in order to compete with their rivals, they sell as much as the rest. At least one of the pharmacists surveyed admitted to a sense of guilt over the sale of cigarettes in his store. He quit smoking a few years ago. He offered two other ways in which pharmacists can stop promoting tobacco. One way is to sell cigarettes at a higher price, the other is to put up No Smoking signs in the store. For Whitfield, however, option two offers a 'reasonable compromise"' between professional responsibility and the realities of business. He will continue to sell cigarettes but, by removing them from sight, he will no longer promote their use. It will actually take several months for the change. Special shelves must be built for the cigarettes, as the store undergoes a re-organization of its products. On the other hand, nothing will change at Whitfield's branch store in Woodland Beach. Display shelves for cigarettes were installed there only recently, and to re-arrange things would be too costly. involves and one. Miller Frank Miller, Ontario's industry and trade minister, made it official yesterday afternoon at Queen's Park. He announced plans to be a contender in the race to replace Premier William Davis during a leadership convention in Toronto in January. Miller, 57, is a 13-year veteran of the Legislature. He has held health, natural resources and treasury portfolios at Queen's Park. It is expected Miller's announcement will pave the way for other provincial cabinet ministers to signal their willingness to toss their hat(s) into the leadership race. There's speculation Agriculture Minister Dennis Timbrell will announce his decision to seek the premier's job tomorrow.

Dyer gave a slide presen- tation which briefly outlined the situation in Japan, and the impact which the work of his mission made on the 'peoples of this country. At a very young age, Dyer's ambition for such a line of work developed. "When I was small, my parents were always interested in missionary work." While in college, Dyer saw an advertisement in a magazine requesting volunteers who wished to participate in mission work for a_ specific period of time. The year was 1956, and Dyer took the initial step towards his life-long destiny. At the age of 21, Stan Dyer began his first OMS appointment.

HENRY LEPAGE 4 ith P 1 tonight by MURRAY MOORE During a special meeting this evening, Midland town council will be asked to accept an agreement with Eric Pauze Construction Ltd. which will be in effect for the next three years. On Oct. 1, the council twice passed, by one vote majorities, other agreements,related to the area's dump. The margin of approval could be greater this evening. Alderman Ian Ross said during Monday's council meeting that he cannot attend this evening's meeting. He complained about the waiving of 48 hours of notice for a council meeting. Alderman Patrick Kearns told Ross that he was informed that a special meeting of council to discuss planning matters would be held this evening a month in advance. The council agreed Monday to discuss, while meeting this evening, the agreement with Pauze Construction, the operator of the area's dump, and to meet with members of the Parking Authority, on another matter. : Also on Monday, Alderman Robert McLaughlin was persuaded to be the town's third member on the North Simcoe Waste Management Association, the group of area politicians and three Tiny Township residents which is respon- sible for the disposal of the garbage of the association's six member municipalities. Mayor Allan Roach told McLaughlin he could step down if he found he didn't want to be on the committee. The council had some difficulty finding a third member of council to sit on the committee. A member of council pointed out that the NSWMA meets during the day and that some members of Midland council have day jobs. McLaughlin joins Deputy-reeve Claude Buck and Alderman Nancy Keefe on the NSWMA. The council was asked by Deputy-reeve Buck not to discuss details of the agreement to be presented for council's approval this evening.
