While the use of marijuana has met growing acceptance in recent years in our society — particularly among persons un- der 35 years of age — both the federal and provincial governments have so far op- posed lobbies for the decriminalization or the legalization of the currently-illegal drug. While some medical experts have agreed smoking marijuana has some thera- peutic value in controlling the eye disease glaucoma, a speaker at the recent B.C. Social Credit convention claimed the drug changes its users into homosexuals. Despite warnings from B.C. Health Minister Bob McClelland that the drug is not harm- less, marijuana use continues to grow. What do you think about the use or mari- juana? , Would you smoke marijuana if given a chance?

The deadline for last week's vote on integrated armed forces branches was 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 20. Should smoking be : banned in public places? NOV. 13 RESULTS: Compared with an affirmative vote of 92 per cent, only eight per cent of ballots cast opposed banning smoking in public places. Nearly all comments ccompanying the ballots were adamant in emphasizing non-smokers’ right to breathe clean air. “I have always heard that there is a time and a place for everything,” wrote a Trail reader. “I think this should apply © smoking too, and I certainly think the place should be elsewhere than where it may bother others. This is especially true since many people are sensitive to smoke in varying degrees and some people are actually allergic to it.” “When someone smokes in my presence I do not think I am interfering with his freedom if I ask him to stop,” wrote another. “He, however, is raising my chances of heart attack and lung cancer. I feel his or her freedom ends where my lungs begin.” A Kaslo reader said smoking should be banned in such public places as buses, eating places, stores, and food marts = and the only exceptions should be streets, beaches and campsites. “There should be no smoking in the woods owing to fire hazard," the reader added. Yet another reader said he “would welcome stronger action on the part of teachers, doctors and others... to talk to the young people and also strong enforcement of smoking laws where they apply.” “In any one group of non-smokers gathered together -where one person drinks, only one person suffers," wrote another. “In any one group of people gathered together where allare non-smokers except one, everybody suffers. In my case smokers have had their right for over 60 years, now I would like to have mine.” “The concept of personal freedom implies a requirement. for personal responsibility,” another comment read. “Personal freedom to do anything whatsoever, regardless of the consequences to others, is totally unacceptable.” But Larry Wanjoff of Castlegar, past president and director of the United Non-Smokers Society of B.C., pointed out that most smokers ‘are considerate of others’ feelings ahout their habit once they have been made aware of the discomfort and annoyance it is to others.” “It is only a small percentage of smokers who don't give a damn either about themselves and less of others who have caused the need for legislation to protect others,” he continued. "I whole-lungedly support laws that give stiff fines to smokers puffing away in a non-smoking area.” “I'm sick and tired of fighting off the results of polluted air in public buildings," write another reader. “I suffer from colds as a direct result of cigarette smoke. I stay away from . _ homes where there are smokers but I can't always avoid it in " public places.” A Rossland woman commented that some women “like the smell of cigar smoke especially” while another reader suggested denying smokers medical plan benefits “to bring “them to their senses and protect a captive audience — their. children.” oe One reader described smoking as “a cruel form of punishment for non-smokers, who . .. are subjected to 2 t second-hand smoke." “Babes in arms at their very first breaths must inhale the debilitating toxic fumes of smokers’ delight.” “Can't they do without a smoke for two or three hours?" asked another reader. “What a dreadful drug it must be. If they must smoke they should get. off to some place by themselves.” Another Kaslo reader wrote she was allergic to cigarette smoke but added that “legal legislation imposing individual restrictions have always and will always be counter- productive.” A more productive solution would be to encourage public awareness of the problem and encourage businesses to 3 provide areas, she inued. “This solution satisfies individual rights and gives the business community the opportunity to win public approval, ion without infri: "she wrote.

Whether Debby will be able to light up the ratings is something a iot of industry types are anxious to find out...

Producer Aaron Spelling is obviously hoping that some of the magic from his Top 10 series ‘Charlie's Angels’ will rub off on an dll-male spinoff called ‘Bad Cats.’ The casting director, Lynn Loring, held an open audition recently at 20th Century Fox for men who were “dark, attractive and Caucasian and in the 26-30 range." The pilot for the series is due to begin shooting next week. ‘Bad Cats’ revolves around a cop, a ‘city dude and a country boy who answer to a female counterpart of the Bosley character in ‘Charlie's Angels.’ Whether these ‘Bad Cats’ will have to scamper around in tight-fitting bikinis, like the ‘Angels,’ only time and the ABC censor will tell...Look out for ‘Out of the Blue,” the ABC early Sunday night series starring Jimmy Brogan that is to be canceled soon.

Those were the results presented Friday by -Dr. Wayne Greene on the survey of 274 microwave ovens taken last spring in the West Kootenay health district. Greene, head of the health ministry's radiation protection service, said pro- vincial standards applying to ovens in use require radia- tion emissions to be less than five milliwatts per cubic centimetre and units exceed- one unit which exceeded 25 milliwatts per cuble centi- metre, he said. The remain- ing 271° ovens, he said, had ‘emissions of less than one millivatt. per cuble centi- metre, which is the limit set by the federal government for the manufacture and sale of new units, : The radiation protection service head said the ovens tested belonged - to house- holders who responded to requests through the media West Kootenay survey for volunteer survey parti- cipants, Most of the units tested were relatively new, al- though 10 per cent of the ovens were made before 1975, he said. Greene explained the cleanliness of an oven's door seals is a major factor in radiation leakage. : “There have been cases with ovens leaking seven or eight milliwatts per cubic centimetre where emissions were reduced to less than one milliwatt per cubic centi- metre merely by cleaning the door seals,” he said, adding that the functioning of the door hinges is another simple ' CASTLEGAR FILMS Nuvomber 41, 1979 B7 e ovens put to test tempts mijsht be made to defeat the interlock system which prevents an oven from operating with the door open, he said.

The ministry ‘recom- mends that an oven be checked for leakage when- ever itis dismantled for servicing or has its door removed, Greene said, He also said health offi- cials are concerned that new hazards may develop as units now in use become older and a market for used ovens is created. Owners of older units may be tempted to use the’ ovens for purposes other than food pi such as drying wood, he said, and other hazards could arise in amateur with microwave ovens.
