　　This Thursday, Irena Sendler will be honoured for her work as a smuggler(偷运者)．During World WarⅡ, the Polish social worker smuggled nearly 2500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto(聚居区)．She gave them new identities, found them safe places with good-hearted Christians, and kept the children’s real names buried in jars in her neighbours’ gardens．(The play, Life in a Jar, based on her story, is being performed．)At 93, Sendler lives in a Warsaw nursing home and is too weak to travel to Washington D．C．to receive the 2003 Jan Karski Award for Valor and Compassion from the American Center of Polish Culture．One of the children she saved will accept the award for her．

　　You risked your life to save the children．

　　I was taught by my father that when someone is drowning, you don’t ask if they can swim, you just jump in and help．During the war, everyone was drowning, but mostly the Jewish children．

　　How did you persuade parents to give up their children?

　　I had to answer honestly that I didn’t even know if we would get past the grades．

　　What was the most frightening moment?

　　When I saw a priest(牧师)in charge of an orphanage for Jewish children in the ghetto walk with them out to be killed．The children were in their best Sunday suits．The priest was killed with them．

　　How did you get the children to behave as you smuggled them out?

I told the older children to act as if they were sick and sometimes gave the younger ones a sleeping pill．They were told to remember their new names．I also told the children to tell guards they had only been visiting a servant in the ghettoand were going back to their real homes outside．

　　Did you tell your own two children what you did?

　　I never told them．Only when my daughter went to Israel did she learn all about me．I thought it was only normalto do so．And it was a very painful subject．It was always on my mind that I couldn’t do more．

－Samantha Levine

　　The chief medical officer for England, Sir Liam Donaldson, today called for a new crackdown on tobacco smuggling(走私)to stop illegal imports of cigarettes undermining(影响)efforts to reduce smoking-related illnesses．

　　Sir Liam said the government and other European Union(EU)member states needed to introduce tighter controls to reduce the widespread availability of cheap illegally imported cigarettes．

　　Up to 25％ of cigarettes and 75％ of hand-rolled tobacco consumed in England have avoided UK taxes and duties, according to the chief medical officer’s(CMO)fourth annual report on the state of public health．

　　The street price of a smuggled pack of a leading brand of cigarettes is 2.50 while the legal price is 4.89．

　　Sir Liam said：“Smuggled and cheap tobacco undermines health and health inequality goals by making tobacco widely available at much cheaper prices．”

　　“Traditionally, taxes, duties and price increases on tobacco have reduced tobacco consumption and been highly effective as an additional discouragement, but the availability of smuggled and cheap tobacco erodes these efforts to help people stop smoking．”

　　“I would like to see closer cooperation between UK Revenue and Excise and other EU member states in dealing with this problem．”

　　Sir Liam’s report also called for public services to provide more healthy and appetising meals．

　　Public services spend up to 2bn a year on buying food and catering services－7％ of all UK spending on catering．The CMO said the NHS, local authorities and prisons should use this power to promote healthier eating．For example, hospitals should buy more fruit, he said．

　　The CMO said, “The section serves over 1．8bn meals a year－they need to be healthier and more nutritionally balanced．The public section should use its huge financial muscle, as a purchaser and obtainer, to improve the nation’s health．”
