" pays for the funeral:

Minister of National Health and Wel- .
fare John Munro dropped some interesting .
statistics last week when he released figures

for tar and nicotine percemtages in Canad- —

ian cigarettes,

_ The Health Minister's report .was based

on laboratory. teats over - a. six-month per-.
iod. But-his comments on the report were
‘evem stronger than the statistics. “We know |
of no safe cigarette or safe way to smoke. ©

_ and we strongly recommend that Canadians,
avoid’ cigarette smoking entirely,” Munro |

‘said.

The Health Minister, is not saying any-
thing new, But to date warnings have only
lightly affected, smokers, causing a few to’
give up the habit. only. to return to it after

‘a brief pause.

” Why # the Biafra hold-up?

Canada’s efforts to send food
to starvation-stricken Nigerians
and Biafrans have been virtually
stalled by a series of delays
and frustrations, . ..

e@ meagre accomplishment
— by tifd-November only one
Canadian planeload ‘of food had
been delivered to Biafra— points
up anew the difficulties of trying
to provide food for. the hungry
in various parts of the world,

There are always stumbling
blocks such as nationalist feel-
ings, suspicions on the part of
the recipients’ and terms set by
the countries through which the
operation must be handled. Asan
example, the Blafrans say they

cannot accept food that has pas-
ged through Nigeria becausethey
fear the Nigerians will poison it,

Canada’s efforts: to bring suc-
cor to the people of Nigeria ~
divided by a civil war that has

‘ been going on for nearly a year
and a half — date back to mid-
July. At that time a delegation
of church repyesentatives and of
the Canadian Red Cross asked
