Program Teaches Children
Awareness of Smoking Risk —

Smoking awareness, pro-
grams for schoo) children play
an important.role in the Cana-
dian’ Cancer Society's educa-
tional message.

It was discovered in a
recent Cancer Society survey of
Grade 7 and 8 classes that 22
per cent of the students smoke
cigarettes and that more than
half began when they were in
Grades 5 and 6,

“The results of this and
other surveys atress the fact
that the Canadian Cancer So-
ciety’s smoking awareness pro-
grams for children from kin-
dergarten to Grade 6 are
extremely important how that
students are beginning to
smoke at progressively earlier
ages,” said Dorothy Martini,
education’ chairman of, the
Castlegar Unit of the Canadian
Cancer Society.

“For school children from
kindergarten to Grade 3, the
society uses ‘Celly’, a charming
cartoon character who presents
his health awareness message
to school children throughout
the province,” she continued.

“Celly has been designed
to offer training in decision-
making. Celly and his friends,

happy and healthy cells, are
compared to sickly, grouchy
cells who smoke. As a teaching
aid, the kit includes a flip chart
with teacher guide copy, a
classroom poster, booklets tell-
ing the Celly story, Celly
buttons and teacher's evalua-
tion forms and a list of suggest-
ed follow-up activities.

The entire package is
available free of charge to
kindergarten to Grade 3 teach-

ers,

“It is hoped," said Mrs,
Martini, “that Celly will become
a friend to every child and a
symbol of good health practices
and will provide encourage:
ment to deter youngsters from
smoking in later years,

“However, the society's
smoking awareness programs
do not end here,” she con-
tinued. "There is also a kit for
Grades 4 to 6, containing over:

‘ head transparencies showing

close-ups of respiratory sys-
tems, a four-color poster of
healthy and unhealthy lungs,
slide rule with questions and
answers, and an extensive
teacher's lesson ald booklet.
The kit is bilingual.

“The society's special pro-
grams designed for young
persons are aimed at helping
children establish sensible
health habits while at the same,
time, increasing their aware-
ness of the hazards of smok-

ing," concluded Mrs. Martini.-:.

Crash Tapes
Still Under

Examination

A Transport Canade
spokesman said last week it
might now be possible to more
accurately determine the cause
of the Feb, 11 crash of a Pacific
Western Airlines jet at Cran-
brook.

The flight data recorders,
which at first were thought to
be too severely damaged, have
been checked out by the
National Research Council in
Ottawa and the council believes
that, through the use of an
electron microscope, it might
obtain information from what is
left of the recording material.

Forty-two people died in
the crash and another died later
in a Vancouver hospital. Six

people survived.

gram should contact their local
Chamber of Commerce or write

ber of Commerce at Box 10,

Zaim.

“We'll have less dollars but
I can't say that we'll have a

“But we'll be strapped for
bucks.”

He said the change in
cost-sharing means that the
provincial government must

instead of the one or two years
that is present policy.

Vander Zalm said he was
disappointed by the results of a
two-day meeting of federal and
provincial welfare ministers in
Ottawa last week.

Resigns Over
TV Tower

Dan Nishi has resigned as
New Denver village clerk “in
disgust” over council action in
approving. a proposed CBC
television tower in Centennial
Park,

“It gol to the point where I
didn't want to work with a
€ouncil that reverses decisions
made the previous month and
that is not willing to tolerate
even a legitimate protest,”
Nishi said last Wednesday.

Speaking in a telephone
interview from his New Denver
home, Nishi said village coun-
cil's lack of willingness to even
seriously consider alternative
locations for the proposed tow-
er is what infuriated him.

Nishi said he. had per-
sonally put many hours of un- -
paid work into developing
,Centennial Park, and was one
‘of the first to object to allowing
the CBC to erect a broad-
casting tower there.
