(C.M. Denmon Photo) Smoking (continued from page 1) nate as ‘no-smoking’. She said the restaurant has used the area in this manner in the past and will now convert it into a no-smoking dining room. Franklin's Family Restaurant, Dallas, has had a non smoking area for more than a year. The front diningroom to the left is always non-smoking and if neces- sary to accommodate more non- smokers, the back diningroom can be used for non-smoking. Restaurants with less than 75 seats, bar areas, private social functions, factories and ware- houses not frequented by the public, lobbies and hallways, ho- tel and motel rooms and retail stores whose primary business is the sale of tobacco or tobacco- related products are the only places exempt. Restaurants with fewer than 75 seats have the option of imple- menting a smoking policy. If a small restaurant such as these does not have a non-smoking area or a smoking policy, they must post a notice to this effect at every entrance. The ordinance also prohibits tobacco use in school buildings, school buses and on school prop- erty. The board of school directors may designate smoking areas for employees and establish policies to prohibit tobacco use. Smoking is also prohibited at all meetings open to the public pur- suant to the Sunshine Act and in all public places, state or govern- ment owned and in all indoor, or enclosed places not owned or operated by a state or government agency which is used by the gen- eral public including a workplace, educational facility, health facil- ity, auditorium, area, theater, museum, restaurant, concert hall or any other facility during the period of its use for a performance or exhibit of the arts. Most business places ques- tioned were not yet familiar with the new legislation and were not certain what their policy might be, but were sure they would take necessary steps to comply prior to the effective date of the legislation.

NO aimoki ng ghee, The charge of involuntary Assistant chief deputy coroner Harry Hyman testified that when he arrived at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, McCaffrey had been pronounced dead by hospital per- sonnel. County coronor Dr. George E. Hudock, Jr., later ruled the cause of death due to multiple traumatic injuries and manner of death homicide. Atty. John P. Moses, represent- ing Howard, objected to having the death certificate admitted as evi- dence due to Hudock not being at the hearing. Moses said it could not be determined whether or not Hudock could be at the trial. Gre- gory accepted the certificate as hearsay evidence. Atty. Moses also objected to two tests for blood-alcohol content being submitted because no police officer was present during the first test and the technician was not at the hearing. The second test was performed four days later on a vial of Howard's blood that had been set aside by a technician. Gregory accepted both tests as hearsay evidence.
