AV. 5 - 2634 884 - 4186 Today It is now ten years, the Can- adian Cancer Society points‘ out, since the “lung cancer scare" began with proof that cigarette tars could ca'use can- cer on the backs of laboratory mice. Since then statistical evidence for the relationship between cigarette-smoking and lung cancer, has been building up in many parts of the world. And it was indeed this happy combination that held the at- tention of children and adults alike as he introduced man's best friend -- a mammoth king sized, king size cigarette that has seemingly replaced the dog as "man’s best friend." In hu- morous style he gave all the proof for such a statement] Through the interest shown‘ by authorities. parents and oth- ers concerned with the health and welfare of our youth. the Canadian Cancer Society has made available to these groups a film entitled “Is Smoking Worth It?" Mr. Lyman Henderson from Woodbridge, provincial chair- man of education and publicity for the C.C.S. and president- eiect of the Ontario division of the C.C.S. was the guest speak- er before the film was shown. In her introduction of Mr. Henderson. Toby Shore, chair- man of publicity of the Maple Branch Maple-Wood Unit 0.0. 5., gave this partial quotation, “To his job as chairman of ed- ucation and publicity of the di- vision, Lyman Henderson brings serious intent, years of exper- ience, a real taste for the en- joyment of life, and the capac- ity to make people laugh, not at the wrong but at precisely the right moment, at all times.” At the April 3rd meeting of the George Bailey Home and School Association with Vice- president Larry Stevenson pre- siding, this film was shown with pupils of grades 6, 7 and 8 in attendance along with the parents and members of the home and school association. ls Smoking Worth It? 96l2 YONGE ST.

The film gave statistical evidence to prove that the death rate due to lung can- cer among men who smoke cigarettes is up to 40 times that of non-smokers.

Although such a campaign to stop cigarette smoking am. ong adults has not halted the constantly rising consumption of cigarettes. it has been inten- sified with commendable co-op- eration from the schools.
