Letters to th E editor Senior gardener fails to understand senseless act Dear editor, Last Wednesday I spent the whole day weeding and tying up my cauliflower, etc.,. Thursday morning, I went out the garden and found my cauliflower and carrots pulled up and thrown in the lane. These veg- etables were not used, but just destroyed. I also found that they raided the garden of Mr. Tom Webb and did the same thing -- just thrown away. I don't know what kick a person gets in destroying the efforts of oth- ers, especially Senior Citizens who try to keep their homes and yards looking clean and presentable. I hope the person or persons who visited our gardens read this and asks himself why I should want to hurt this old man by destroying his garden. This old man is. 83 years-old with a heart condition who still loves to work in his garden. By the size of the footprints, they were not children. Fred Harness Smokers' group trying to stop billowing anti-smoking by-laws Dear editor, We are a newly formed organi- zation attempting to secure amend- mvuts to many of the recent by- laws concerning smoking. We are considerate, responsible, taxpaying citizens who feel the pre- sent by-laws contravene all demo- cratic rights and principles. We do not wish to offend non- smokers who are truly bothered by second-hand smoke, nor do we wish to argue that smoking is good for you. We would point out that smok- ing is recognized as an addiction by the World Health Organization, and as long as smoking continues to be a legal product smokers must be given consideration. 'Toronto has recently passed a "Smoking in the Workplace" by- law; smoking has been banned on buses and on airline flights of less than two hours. Hospitals are mak- ing patients stand outside, regard- less of weather, in order to smoke. many government offices, where we are forced to wait for hours on end, have banned smoking. We feel that there are many other factors contributing to many of today's ills, including automo- bile emissions, toxic waste dump- ing, acid rain, and general pollu- tion. However, these things are ignored by the government. Since smokers are a largely unorganized, unrepresented group in the government, they have quiet- ly decided to place all the ills of the world on our shoulders. It is time for smokers and sym- pathetic non-smokers to show their leaders that they do object to what is going on. We are presently collecting names on petitions in order to pre- sent them to our politicians, and if you would be interested in signing or having a petition sent to you, we would ask that you drop us a line. Don't forget to include your name and address. We would also like to point out, just because these laws may not have affected your area yet, don't feel too secure. Many municipali- ties and cities are awaiting the effects before deciding if they will follow suit.
