10 Waterioo Chronicle, Thuraday, August 27, 1970 them in at Jarry Park, despite a solid lastâ€"place show on the field. New York Mets turned the same trick for years in New York to the dismay of the Yankees and the crowds still flock to Shea Stadium to see the Mets win. Yankee lovers boasted that once the Mets stopped losing, the novelty would wear off. What makes a franchise sucâ€" ceed? Seattle Pilots had a similar poor team in the American League last year and the bankrupt owners fled to Milwaukee. San Diego Padres have a firstâ€"class stadium, a brilliant baseball man in Buzzy Bavasi and a natural rivalry with Los Angeles. But Montreal doubled the count on San Diego with a poor stadium, no rivalry and an unâ€" proven front office. And baseball isn‘t the only sport with this strange support pattern. Hockey men in Buffalo and Vanâ€" couver right now are looking for ways to match the fan appeal of the Expos.. As the latest members of the expansion club, Vancouver Canâ€" ucks and Buffalo Sabres expect to have poor teams on the ice. Buffalo has another strike against it â€" the enlarged stadium that was promised for this season has been shelved for a year. Both the Canucks and Sabres hope to follow the lead of Monâ€" treal‘s baseball men and make hockey a fun evening. Punch Imlach, never at a loss for words, is going all out to build up a rivalry with his former emâ€" ployers, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Buffalo coach and general manager has run advertisements in Toronto newspapers asking fans if they want to see National Hockâ€" ey League games: seats are availâ€" able across the lake in Buffalo. The Leafs, despite another sellout season, are reported to be doing a slow burn at Imlach‘s tactics. ‘‘How many times have you heard the complaint that an averâ€" age guy can‘t get a ticket in Torâ€" onto,‘‘ Imlach asks indignantly when his motives are questioned. ‘"Hundreds, 1 tell you, hundreds. Why shouldn‘t we let them know that they can write in to us and see all the NHL stars, the Bobby Orrs, the Bobby Hulls, the Frank Mahovâ€" lichs. Yes, even the Toronto Maple Leafs. And in Vancouver, general manager Bud Poile is facing a different problem. His seats in the Coliseum will be filled for each game the first year. But Vancouver had a winning minor league team and fans had been fed a diet of NHL promises for at least four seasons. Buffalo‘s bid was a lastâ€"minute affair that caught their own citizens by surâ€" prise. _ Poile feels the Canucks can do nothing to create a happy atmosâ€" phere short of winning. He is quoted in the Vancouver Province to the effect that : ‘"Baseâ€" ball lends itself to a festive mood. The fans drink a lot of beer and wander around and there‘s time between plays for kibitizing."

Gray Executive medical director Ontario Thoracic Society If we were all able to breath clean air chronic respiratory disâ€" eases would be less frequent and less severe. Atmospheric air pollution preâ€" sents an increasing problem in the industrialized city in particular, not only because of the factories but also because of the concentraâ€" tion of motor vehicles with their harmful exhaust fumes, the burnâ€" ing of refuse in apartment buildâ€" ings and dumps, together with the effects of oil and coal heating in homes and other buildings. Smokers who kick habit can find bronchial relief In rural areas or in nonâ€"indusâ€" trial towns and cities, air polluâ€" tion poses a minor problem . At this time it can be said that atmospheric air pollution of a significant degree aggravates the lungs of people with known bronâ€" chitis or emphysema, resulting in loss of time from work and even contributing to death. Chronic bronchitis and emphyâ€" sema are two serious lung condiâ€" tions that are related to the cigâ€" arette habit. There is also eviâ€" dence that smoking is also a deâ€" finite factor in disease of the heart, the arteries and the digesâ€" tive tract (for example, ulcers). The main air pollution problem is the cigarette smoking habit and this is known as personal air polâ€" lution. It has been shown time and time again that inhaled smoke from a cigarette does cause disâ€" ease of both the upper and lower parts of the respiratory tract. It is impressive that in the Unitâ€" ed States over 100,000 doctors have given up smoking. At a medical meeting nowadays it is uncommon to see any doctors smoking. The physicians have been convinced Visit our Kifcfianor Location at Ottawa Street Plaza â€" 578â€"7350 by the scientific evidence availâ€" able regarding the harmful effects of smoking. One might ask why hasn‘t the general population apâ€" preciated this fact? _ The answer to that question varâ€" ies from a believed inability to stop smoking to an actual disbeâ€" lief of the evidence. It is the genâ€" eral consensus that anyone can stop smoking. Of course it is better not to start and for this reaâ€" son much effort is being put forâ€" ward at the elementary school level to teach the ill effects of smoking. An individual with a lung disâ€" ease such as bronchitis, emphyseâ€" ma or asthma must stop smoking regardless of whether he has been GERRY BINDSEIL 490 Weber St. N. Waterloo, Ont.
