A45 â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday. Dear Editor: I feel I must comment on the letter to the editor by Dawn Osmond March 10. All my life I have lived in the Maple area, moving to Richmond Hill almost three years ago. As long as I can remember ‘a Liberal‘ was a weekly highlight in our home. Faithful ’Liberal’ annoys wIz‘rioin it I was first taught the importance of local affairs. ":I‘B be part of the family discussion meant â€"â€" having read The Liberal. It has served our area admirably all these many years. ,1- I realize because of growth we now cannot be informed about affairs of each area of interest. I find it annoying. though, while living in Richmond Hill and concerned with affairs here â€" and attending Thornhill for church where our membership has been for many years â€"- to be informed means two Liberals per week. 3 Richmond Hill edition and a Markham-Vaughan (Thornhill) edition. So here we are. The one paper that used to serve the many miles of York County, now cannot serve two closely integrated Should prohibit elevator smoking Dear editor: May we please have space to appeal to your readers to express their views on the question of banning smoking in elevators to their members of the Ontario Legislature. Most people are aware the medical profession and other health agencies including government health departments are concerned over the growing hazard to health caused by second-hand smoke. This hazard is par- ticularly acute in elevators and among people who have asthma. emphysema and chronic bronchitis. We feel it is not too much to ask anybody to refrain from smoking in elevators as the ride seldom takes more than a minute but the poisons emitted from cigars, pipes and cigarettes linger on for hours af- terwards. There is evidence to show asthmatic patients have suffered severe attacks after inhaling these poisons. The Boroughs of York, East York, Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke have all agreed smoking should be banned in elevators. But they cannot do anything about it unless and until the government of Ontario grants them permission to make the legislation. A public expression opinion might help legislators to make decision. Your co-operation V be appreciated. STERLING DRUG lTD. VICE-PRESIDENT Dona|d R. Laurence has been elected Vice-Presudent Administration and Finance of SterIinq Druq. Ltdi ac- cording to E.T.
