F The Act itself, originally passed in the 1800's, bans a wide range of Sunday activities includ- ing commercial buying and selling; public performances with- admission fees, and the hiring of "conveyances," to get to and from public performances. It exempts various acts of mercy and necessity. Comment ' The provinces are allowed to decide how righteously they wish to enforce the law. Charges cannot be laid without approval of the appropriate provincial attorney-general. There is little doubt that stiffer fines must be imposed if Canada and the proVinces insist on enforcing the archaic lord’_s Day Act. - Fines under the Act, which now range from $20 to $500, have not been changed for a long time and are no longer consistent with the present-day value of money. mV r MoUt piovinces have made lenient interpre- tations of the law, permitting many Sunday commercial and entertainment activities. The Lord's Day Act as it stands now is in- deed archaic when compared to our 1975 meth- ods of free wheeling and dealing. And a com- plete government review of the whole bill is in order. _ But until then, fines of such small denomina- tions have little or no effect on its enforcement, especially with larger department stores who can readily afford such a small drop in a large rusty bucket. By Trisha Banks (Conestoga College) Mark Twain once said, “I have stopped smoking a hun- dred times or more." For 200 Kitchener-Waterloo tobaccoholics attending the "five day plan to stop smok- ing': that phrase was far too familiar. , _ 's Recentiy.the Seventh Day Adventist Church held a clinic at Mutual Life Insur- ance Auditorium. to help smokers divorce lady nico- tine. Pastor H.G. Fishbacher. in charge of the clinic, wrrn- ed the audience the first night, January 27, that they were trying to break a very serious addiction. His words proved to be true. The sec- ond night of the clinic about 75 people showed up. Members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church are not allowed to smoke or drink alcoholic beverages. Many adults, wishing.to join the Church were unable to do so because they were al- ready addicted smokers. The Church felt responsible for helping these people kick the habit and devised the five day plan, Each night the program begins with a smoker's hor- ror show. There is no apology made for the blood and guts shows-the reasoning is, "if you‘re old enough to smoke. youve old enough to know what it can do to your health." Many of the films show actual operations in which surgeons remove cancerous lungs. The films are realistic enough so that two uniform- ed nurses must be present at every showing. fr, 'r'hake you} hair stand up on end, the Pastor brings out his fact sheet and starts Stiffer fines Tobaccoholics hop the Wagon rhyming off how much each cigarette costs you in terms of minutes of your life. In case youve interested, each cigarette cuts your life short by 15 minutes. Four cigarettes are worth one hour. If you smoke 20 cigarettes per day five hours of that day go up in smoke. If you stop and figure it out smoking will cost you nine years of your life. Money comes into this matter. too. Today, each package of cigarettes costs 75e in a vending machine. If you smoke a package a day for one year it costs you $343.75. At the present cost of a Toyota. you would be able to buy one in nine years-tMore/ly, you would drive it nine years longer too. The saying' "Here goes one more nail in my coffin". also comes from smoking. The average smoker will smoke a six foot cigarette every day of his life. Sup- posedly. it also puts him six feet under and pushing up daises. A lot of health hazards go into a four-inch tube of to- bacco. Some scientists say they have found as many as 30 dangerous substances in a single cigarette. Bearing that statement out. over 43.000 Americans die every year from lung cancer-the most common form of can- cer. For every 10 non-smok- ers. 22 heavy smokers and 17 light smokers will die Smokers also have a high- er resting pulse rate This means their chances of hav- ing a heart-attack notice- ably increases over a non- smoker.
