Page 16 C ANCER SOCIETY NEWS With the campaign over, and everyone thinking of the warm summer days ahead, we try to forget the unpleasant subjects... but we really cannot neglect, even for a few weeks, the onâ€"going fight against cancer. The past month saw some surveys released which indicate that cancers caused through smoking have continued to rise, thus making the successes gained in other areas disappear on statistic reports. One of the main themes of this year's public awareness campaign is "Smoking", its effects and assistance on how to stop! School Boards, stores and offices are quickly putting into effect "no-smoking" rules in order to reduce the exposure of non-smokers to "second hand" smoke. For the researchers, the push is on, more than ever, to find a cure, rather than design new treatments. After all, if cures can be found, future treatments will become less important. Cancer Society workers realize that a huge part of their budget is spent on alleviating the suffering and side effects of cancer diseases. How much more should be spent in this field is questionable when the money must be taken from the research area? One must realize that the longâ€"term smoker lg a problem...addiction to nicotine. It is difficult to go "cold turkey" but with support and encouragement, many will be able to stop smoking. The local education campaign is based on making our children aware of the dangers of starting this "habit" and local schools have accepted the Cancer SOciety Education Packs. Teachers will incorporate parts of these eduâ€"kits into their curriculum in the hopes that children will be better educated to make the decision to smoke or not. The lifeâ€"style approach of the kits covers all aspects of habits which can lead to problems along with the alternates for a healthy lifeâ€"style. The decision to smoke is a conscious act, often made by the very young. (several schools have students in the early grades already smoking) Perhaps stricter enforcement of the laws regarding the selling of cigarettes and tobacco products could reduce access for the young. While government controls access to alcohol products, with penalties given to those who supply minors with these products, little is done about the sale of tobacco products. Did you know that, according to the Minor's Protection Act, it is against the law to sell cigarettes or tobacco products to anyone under the age of E, unless a written request from the parent or guardian is presented? Penalties range from no less than a $2.00 NORTH LEEDS LANTERN fine to no more than a $50.00 fine! Perhaps m can help. Next time you see a young person purchasing such items, a little word of advice and caution may have some effect. If your local store operator is unaware of the law, he/she may, on being told about it, may use it to prevent the very young from having access to cigarettes. I am sure many parents are unaware that their child smokes on a regular basis. Presenting some of the material available through the Cancer Society on the very serious effects of smoking can help them make the right decision before they have developed the smoking habit. Adults who smoke have made the choice...and must live with the consequences. Children should be guided in this matter as they are in other seriousmatters, with information and some advice. Do your share and help your child make the right decision! CANCER CAN BE BEATEN but We Must All Do Our Share! help your child make the right decision! UP, UP, & OVER CANCER CAMPAIGN '86 "Lookin' Good!" With the partial count of Campaign '86 funds standing at over $10,000.00, it looks as if local campaign workers will be pleasantly surprised when all monies are in. Funds from Morton, Lyndhurst and Newboro, and some from Elgin are still being submitted and when included in the total, should put this year's campaign over the top. Thanks to the Cancer Society Volunteer campaign workers and to you, the generous public. Full report will be in next issue of Lantern.
