Description |
This single black and white film negative depicts Mayor Lorne Smart of Napanee signing the "Non Smokers' Bill of Rights." The "Non Smokers' Bill of Rights" was one of Mayor Smart's first official acts of 1975. The bill created provisions for some public spaces to be deemed "non-smoking," along with other regulations that reduced second-hand smoke in public and private areas. Along with the signing of the bill, the Lennox and Addington branch of the Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association sponsored a non-smoking education week involving programs at local schools and community centres. Pictured beside Smart is Miss Flora Murphy. This image was featured on the front page of the Napanee Beaver's January 15th 1975 issue. |
