named ''smoker's cough'' because

it is not found in nonsmokers.

. The medical explanation in lay terms are: tobacco smoke and its thousand or more chemicals paralyzes the lungs' normal cleaning mechanism and the lungs are then forced to

- provide a heavy mucus production

to help compensate. The mucus can only be moved out of the lungs by coughing, hence a ''smoker's cough!’.

HOME OWNERS GRANTS AVAILABLE

Nearly 1,400 Yukoners received homeowner grants last year and the Yukon Government's. Treasury De- partment estimates the 1977 ‘figure may go as high as 2,000.

Grants of up to $250 are avail- able to residents who own their own residence, have paid their 1977 taxes and are not renting out any portion of the home.

Donna Ryan, general. revenue accountant, said the application forms are now available at L.I.D. and municipal offices, from territorial agents or at the information counter in the Yukon Government administration building.

Since the taxpayer must have lived in his home for 183 days

in 1977, the applications can't be accepted before July 3. While the deadline for payment of property taxes is June 30, the homeowner who is late can still file for a grant up to the end of the year.

_ Mrs. Ryan said the grant applies to property tax only and the homeowner would have to pay more than $100 in taxes to be eligible. Where the home is owned jointly, both owners must sign the application.

j t

$75,000

The grants range from $500 to the Yukon Conference on the Arts for a special project to $7,700 awarded to the. Yukon Figure Skating Association for adminis- tration, coaching and travel expenses to competitions..and to assist with other recreation activities.
