Mrs. Mac Sholdice gave the treasurers In Ontario, a large number of people are putting their troubles behind them -, literally. In a province with eight million inhabitants, there are an estimated 400,000 new and recurring cases of back pain every year, and the Workmen's Compensation Board deals with sonic 20,000 claims annually for back problems alone, One of Ontario's more than 200 orthopedic surgeons describes this as a vast problem -- almost an epidemic. Moreover, bethinks that perhaps as much as 80 per cent of so-called low back pain is preventable. Typically, he says, it accompanies obesity, poor posture and improper lifting. In the obese, the pot belly, with its lack of muscle tone, hangs out and pulls the spine forward in an accentuated arch. This, added to a steadily decreasing suppleness of the spine that occurs as one gets older, sets the scene for disc problems that cause some, but' not all, low back pain. Particularly susceptible to these troubles are manual workers, gardeners, and sportsmen or housewives who engage in sudden movements that put strain on the spine. Poor posture is a major factor contributing to low back pain. Ideally, people should be taught to sit and stand properly in childhood so they can benefit for a lifetime from good postural habits. It also helps to sleep on a firm Mattress offering, proper support to the spine. Inters till there is less low' back pain in certain Eastern countries where people squat to talk or eat a position that's automatically more natural to the spine than sitting, in an aritichair, Lifting the wrong way is another common cause of back pain The correct way to life is by betiding the legs and Of the bacitotifting by stooping over with arms moterided can put many Pounds of pressure on the spinal cola mn, inevitably causing 'a ftiage: aad pain: report and received the offering which was dedicated by Mrs. Thamer.

Mrs. Roy Williamson opened the meeting with a poem and "Where cross the crowded ways of life" was sung. Mrs. Cliff Hoegy read the scripture and Mrs. Williamson gave a prayer People who wear high-heel and platform-sole shoes can suffer from back pain as a result of spine arching. These people are often seen in doctors' offices and hospital emergency wards for back trouble caused in this way. The best way to prevent back pain -- which, incidentally, can be an extremely painful affliction -- is to stay fit and trim and to avoid sudden strain on the spine. For those prone to the problem, swimming is the best form of exercise because the body weight is supported, while all joints and muscles are exercised. Tennis and golf, by contrast, may aggravate the situation because they involve bending and stooping -- and a twisting effect caused by swinging the club or racquet. Persistent back pain required For the fourth consecutive year students from the F,E.Madill Secondary school have won the Jr: Mathematics Contest sponsored by the University of Waterloo. in 1972 they were champions in District 22 and .for the past three years they have been number one in the Lake Huron - Georgian Bay Zone known as Zone 78. This area covers the counties of Huron, Bruce, Grey, DUfferiti, and part of Perth. Representing the winning team from Madill this year were Stanley Loree of Lucknow; Teresa.

Problems could stem from the kidne y or other internal organs, for instance. Also a great deal of back trouble is related to affluence -- too much food and/ or too much lounging around doing nothing. People who have had gall bladder surgery, or hysterectomies, may suffer from back pain because of the poor muscle tone that often follows these operations. By doing the appropriate exercises after surgery, they may regain muscle tone. But for the most part, back pain is not only one of our commonest health problems, it's also one of 'the easiest to avoid, if you don't turn your back on it.
