‘INFORMATION — What can I do to cut down on
the risk of cancer is one question often asked of

Canadian Cancer Society. Her job is to talk to
people employed in business or industry about

cancer and the importance of prevention and early .

- .“Declaration of ©
Principles’

: The executive of the B.C.
Government Employees’
‘Union’ has ‘unanimously
endorsed a _ Canadian
Labour Congress
“Declaration of Principles”

which opposes the con-..
wage controls on.

*tinuance o:

ublic sector émployees”

ibeyond., the termination of
ithe federal contro] program.
X.Meeting at the Burnaby
headquarters of the union,
the 24 member executive
representin 33,000
‘provincial employees ac-
cepted without challenge or
amendment such Congress
statements that ‘“govern-
ments (in Canada) have
changed their controls
program from being a
weapon to discourage an
alleged inflation psychology
into a weapon to incite the
public against its own
employees.”

John Fryer, General
Secretary of the BCGEU,
said the CLC statement at
this time was “particularly
appropriate” since the B.C.
government is already on
record in favor of continuing

controls over ils own em-
ployees long after such
wage restrictions are lifted
from the private sector.

. “What this means, of
course, is that we are faced

with 2 d-‘ermined attempt |
‘to put provincial employees -
pack: into the category of :
citizens, |

second class
subject to peculiar and
restrictive regulations that
would not be tolerated by
any other Canadian

. workers”, he said.

The Congress statement
described proposals to limit
the wages of public service
employees long after the

control program is lifted as.

a “deceitful and unjust
political ploy.”

it goes on to sa
proposal itself “attacks the

tegrity” of public sector
employees and “‘instead of
using the wages of public
employees as a convenient
scapegoat for their own
mismanagement of the
economy, governments
should concentrate on
tackling the more serious
problem of unemployment.”

Cigarette smoking costly

“Cigarette smoking is
costing the taxpayers of
British Columbia millions of
dollars a year in medical
services, hospital care,
property loss and forest
ires .... but most critical of
all .... it kills.” .

That is the lead statement
in a new Ministry of Health
pamphlet titled “‘Cigarettes
and Your Health”, recenti
introduced by Healt
Minister Bob McClelland. In
support of the statement
McClelland provided the
following information:

- It has been estimated
that 7.8 percent of all

—_—"

physicians’ services are:

related to treating health-
induced problems resulting
from cigarette smoking. A
conservative annual
estimate of the medical and
hospital costs involved in
the treatment of those
illnesses would be
. $40,000,000.

- According to the Fire
Marshal's office careless
smokers were responsible
for starting 872 fires in B.C.
in 1976, in which 38 people
died. The value of the
property loss from the fires

S was estimated at $7,106,000.

- In the province's forests
in 1976, approximately
116,000 acres were
destroyed in 893 fires.
Careless smokers started
130 of those fires. The total
timber loss was valued at
$2,600,000 and fire fighting
costs were $1,600,000.

- According to the
minister, British Colum-
bians spent an estimated
$151,200,000 on the purchase
of cigarettes in 1976.

_ These figures represent a
total cost each year of over
$200,000,000 to residents of
the province for cigarette
purchases and related

eapenses,
e pamphlet ‘Cigarettes
and Your Health”, says that

- Two B.C.

your chances of dying from
eart disease, Canada’s
number one health problem

which accounts for 80,000 |

deaths each year, are nine
times greater if you smoke.
The chances of dying from
lung cancer are eight times
eater and your chances of
ying from emphysema are
five times greater.

“The. Ministry of Health
pamphlet serves a two-fold
purpose,” McClelland said.
‘It encourages smokers to
give up smoking and it helps

‘them kick-the-habit with
suggestions for diet and

exercise during the most
difficult period of cigarette
withdrawal, the first seven

ys.
The Health Minister said
that some of the health

hazards described in the

pamphlet are common

nowledge, but it also”

outlines many .dangerous
aspects of smoking which
have received little public
recognition. As an example,
McClelland said thal
smoking during pregnancy
increases the perinatal
deathrate by 24 percent,
“There is also evidence,”

the minister said, “That the

chemical carcinogens in
cigarette smoke can enter
the fetal bloodstream if the

‘mother smokes during

egnancy, Cancer is the
ourth leading cause of

death between the ages of
one and 14 and a number of
cancers are present at
birth.”

The pamphlet is available
through the province's
public health units, mental

ealth centres and.
hospitals. Coples may also
be obtained by the general

ublic, industry, business
irms and service
organizations, upon request
to the Ministry of Health,
