~ potholes. puffs,

The Public Works Committee
Is currently pondering the sub-
ject of Terrace’s infamous pot-

“holes and what to do with res-

idents who suffer damage to
their. vehicles because of them.
Lil Flegel has written to city

- council describing an encounter

with a pothole cn Kalum St. on
Nov. 11 ‘that destroyed two
brand new tires, and she is advis-
ing council that she intends to
‘collect,

“The pothole was three feet
long, eight inches wide and five

inches deep, which totally

wrecked two. brand new tires
bought in June,’’ wrote Flegel.
She told council, “‘this should

not have happened’’, and. she
- wants the tires replaced. She
warned council, ‘‘Should we fail
to..be reimbursed, we will have

no choice but to file suit against

. the city.”’
_ After discussing Flegel’s let- —
ter, Alderman. Mo Takhar want-

ed the request sent directly to the
Finance Committee, but it was

‘later decided to send the letter to

the Public Works Committee
first for their recommendation.

Council Supports
Anti-Smoking Legislation

- Terrace Council has given its ©
unanimous support to federal

government Bill C-51, proposed
legislation which would prohibit
the advertising and promotion,

as well as control and. monitor. .

the labelling, of all tobacco pro-

ducts sold in Canada.

According to the Minister of
National Health and Welfare,
Jake Epp, Bill C-51 would in-
clude a complete ban on the

. advertising and promotion of all

tobacco products and require
manufacturers to print more
visible warnings informing con-
sumers about the serious haz-
ards of using tobacco,

Epp has said he believes the

_ Hew policy will ‘ensure that

advertising no longer misrep-
resents the smoking habit as part
of a glamorous lifestyle’.

He also recently announced
that the federal government has
increased its support for the Na-

tional Program to Reduce To-

bacco Use, a program designed
to discourage young Canadians
from starting to smoke, en-
courage smokers to quit and

protect non-smokers from ex- =
posure to tobacco smoke,

David Hill, national vice-

president of the Canadian Can-

cer Society, told the Toronto
Globe and Mail recently that the
tobacco industry has begun a
campaign against the legislation

‘by circulating over 90,000 letters

urging retail outlets to complain
about the bill and that the in-
dustry is preparing a second
mailing of over 200,000 letters.
In a letter to Kitimat Council
last month, Epp said, ‘“‘I share
the strong concerns expressed by

many Canadians about the pre-

ventable human suffering exper-
ienced as a result of tobacco
use.”
