‘Huge cro wds greet Pope
in visit to Poland _

More than one million
people greeted Pope John
Paul II, Monday, as_ he
visited, Czestochowa,
Poland’s holiest city.

The crowd was the largest
to honour him since he
arrived in his native country
on Saturday.

On Monday, the Pope
indirectly critisized the
communist regime of

Poland, for not allowing
Pope Paul VI to visit Poland.

Bombs sent
to Nazis

Five deadly parcel bombs,
all capable of killing or
maiming, were sent to the
leaders of the American
Nazi party, on Monday.

None of the bombs, which
were sent to Nazi leaders in
four states, exploded.

A telephone caller to news |
agencies in New York snid*

that more of the parcels
would be sent, and that these
bombs will explode.

Two groups are claiming
responsibility for the parcel
bombs, the International
Committee against Nazism,
and the Jewish Action
Movement

done much to revitalize the
life of the church.

Tuesday, the Pope took
part in a conference of
Polish bishops.

The talks dealt mainly
with relations between
church and = state, and

-especially the difficulties the

church is having in dealing
with communist countries.

_Pope John Paul will be
visiting Poland until next
Monday.

Poland has a population of
32 million Roman Catholics.

Ban on tobacco ads

A complete ban on all
advertising of tobacco
products has been called for
by the World Health
Organization.

A report compiled by an
international team of
medical experts and lead b
the top advisor to the Britis
ministry of health,
recommends that govern-
ments started a tough stand
to curb the use of tobacco.

Governments should act
now to impose a complete
worldwide ban on cigaretic
advertising in all media. che
report says.

The report also condemns
the irresponsiblity of big
tobacco companies in their
dealings with small third
world nations.

MP,

The ‘report says these
governments do not have the
staff to supervise - things
properly, and as a result the
tobacco companies sell
products with much higher
emission levels than in the
Western world.

Pollution in the at, the
report says, can multiply
several times the danger of
smoking
