find places to puff up Like washrooms behind buildings up All the places we used to smoke when we were too young to smoke and when our parents would kill us if they caught us That shouldnt be too much of a problem What really concerns me is the number of people who may decide to quit smoking now that the ban is in effect in so many public places Quitting smoking as anyone who has tried It knows is

energy question by giving Illconsidered publicity to such frauds as Fred Knelman Greenpeace and other ecolgy groups It is easily demon strable that environ mentalist groups are incompetent that they

the press doing the public a service by giving excessive publicity to quacks that would return us to medieval conditions Nuclear power is much safer than coal the only feasible alternative when oil

capturing the YorkSimcoeOntario League championship at Park These boys were members of the Aurora Jewellers midget team on whose behalf at this time we would like to extend a few acknowledgements To our sponsor Mr Paul Knappett of Paul Knappett Jewellers To Mr Ted our chief umpire and Mr Peter our base um pire for giving of their time and talent so regularly and un selfishly To Mrs Sylvia for her

Its bad enough when only one person you know is trying to quit Just try to imagine great numbers of people types giving up on the weed at once To put it mildly quitting a heavy smoking habit tends to make onea trifle nervous anxious edgy and somewhat wildeyed And thats on the first day Subsequent days see the onset of itchy feet trembling hands a trembling voice and a ten dency to want to bang ones head against a wall just because It feels good when you stop When the quitter has reached into weeks without a smoke irritability is a constant companion and the simplest conversations with a quitter must be conducted at arms length Its easy to spot someone who has not had a smoke in a month He carries worth of candies in his pocket His beautiful fountain pen has been chewed to a pulp His eyes are opened wide and he has developed two or three nervous tics in his facial muscles His smoking hand involuntarily jumps to his mouth and to his cigarette pocket con stantly He needs dental work because hes been gritting his teeth so hard for so long He sighs a lot and must constantly fight the urge to sniff ash trays Even after a year the quitter must stave off sudden impulses to pick up a butt from the floor or light up after that big Sunday dinner Anxiety is a constant companion to the newlyfreed smoker and anger simmers very near the surface quick to explode over the most trivial items Not a very pretty picture right Now take that and apply to a large number of people in one metropolitan area How many people in a given place at a given time are trying to quit smoking If wo assume that many quit at the time the ban came into being we can suggest that in a months time or even less there are any number of potentially explosive situations anywhere there are more than one or two people in the same place in Toronto If ever there were a communist plot this it Need I draw out in detail what could happen on the Don Valley Parkway some busy morning when one quitter bumps into
