Kitchener‘s House of Friendâ€" ship has found suitable wareâ€" house space to run its annual Christmas Hamper Program through the month of Decemâ€" ber. The space is located in the rear portion of a building recently acquired by CRA Developments Ltd., a division of Conestoga Rovers and Assoâ€" ciates, at 140 Bathurst Dr., Waterloo in the Northland Industrial Park area. (Continued from page 8) suffers the addiction. Free enterprise is not the freedom to endanger health. We have grown away from one right to another â€" from smoking in all places to banning smoking in all places, a cortection that is long overdue. It took a bylaw for each individual to be heard, those who would not have been listened to otherwise by owners and operators of cerâ€" tain industries. 1 am critical of charity bingo halls, because of the informaâ€" tion that has been public knowledge for many years. All charities had adequate time in which to search for alternative funding, perhaps by way of corporate sponsorship. Tell me of any large industry that would not adopt a charity if that charity was opting out of legalized gambling to support them. The operators and charâ€" House of Friendship hamper program finds home in Waterloo "O0ptt CLAIM Volunteers will be packing and delivering approximately 2,900 hampers from Dec. 8 through Dec. 22. But sponsors are needed to cover the cost of the project. A $50 donation covers the cost of one hamper. For further information, call Anthony Bender, community services program director director, or Brian Hunsberger, development director, at 742â€"8327. Bars have built shrines to smokers, which has in turn, forced many non smokers out of the environments that proâ€" vided social and recreational enjoyment. This industry also feeds addiction. Yes, we also have issues connected to conâ€" sumption of alcohol, but I have never suffered an asthma attack sitting next to a drinker. Further social reform is needed regarding consumption of alcoholic beverages, but that is another issue and not relevant to this issue. There should be no exempâ€" tions to this bylaw, because the meat of the bylaw is to protect public health. How can you have smoking in one public place and not another and still have a fair playing field? You can‘t. ities do not care about the health of the people who work the bingos and are guilty of feeding a serious addiction. EXPIRES IN BUSINESS TO SERVE YOUI!...SINCE 1987 nov 27%9 1138 King East @ Ottawa Kitchener 576â€"18â€"55 (MOST WINDSHIELDS) d 8 _ fou RECEIVE When 1 read about Mayor Brewer‘s intention to have the issue raised, again, about bingo halls being exempt from the smoking bylaw, which would open up doors for other indusâ€" tries to follow suit, 1 saw red. This bylaw is about health, not about health in arenas or restaurants, but about health in all public places, every single place I choose to go, not just to those places 1 can go. 1 find it hard to believe that our regional council will open this issue again, because this bylaw is about banning smokâ€" ing in all public places, not picking and choosing due to pressures by charity bingos. If bingo halls and other public places had addressed these issues years ago about smokâ€" ing, there would never have been a need for a smoking bylaw. 561 Hespeler Rd. | 292 Stone Rd. W.
