Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-08-03, Page 16Page 16--Luclmow Sentinel, Wednesday, August 3,1988 "Women on the Move" on display "Women on the Move" aptly describes the exhibit at the Aylmer and District Mi eum, which will remain until September 16th. This display recognizes the considerable contributions, history and achievements of the Women's Institute and highlights their involvement and concerns on behalf of all Canadians. Featured is the Museum's salute to local noteable members and their particular efforts, plus attention to the cur- rent and future concerns of an organiza- tion composed of "Women on the Move". This exhibit was inspired by the fact that several items and artifacts were donated to the museum when the Aylmer W.I. branch disbanaea m laud . i ne Museum telt that the Women's Institute rightly deserv- ed attention, not just to their past, but because they offered so much for the future concerns of society. The exhibit is sponsored by Mrs. Iva Hayman, past president of the former Aylmer W.I. branch, and her husband Arthur Hayman. The first display is a recreation of the founding of the first Women's Institute, with models of Adelaide Hoodless, credited with the idea of Women's In- stitute, and Mrs. Janet Lee who, with her husband Erland, wrote the draft of the original constitution in 1897. The first local person saluted is the late Dr. Backus, who was the first president of Elgin East District in 1907. Displayed are some of the medical supplies she would have used in her practice. Mrs. Janet Hiepleh, of Malhide Township, • a recent past president of Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario, who helped rewrite the present constitu- tion, is one of the featured women. Artifacts from the museum's permanent collection help to show what life wa§.like for early W.I. members. Symbols, such as a loaf of bread to show the role W.I. had in getting bread wrapped, show some of the past concerns that W.I. have been involved Don't take aging sitting down We all get older, but too many of us help the aging process along by assuming that elderly bodies are useless, says University -of Guelph professor Susan Pfeiffer. As'a human. biologist, Pfeiffer rejects that men- tal image and suggests that something as simple as a daily walk around the block can help us to maintain control of both our physical and mental abilities. Regardless of chronological age, an obese, inactive body will suffer symptoms similar to those common to a prolonged life span, says Pfeiffer. A decrease in physical strength and stamina, poor cir- culation, high blood pressure and low glucose tolerance are just a few of those functions that are "almost always" af- fected by aging and can become symptoms of physical inactivity at any age. Reaction time, memory, social ability and some. aspects of intelligence can be added to the list and can be affected positively by exer- cise and improved physical conditioning, she says. Pfeiffer's advice is simple: "Use it or lose it." She recommends walking as the best overall exercise for most older peo- ple, but if you're hesitant, ask your doctor to prescribe a light exercise program that incorporates an aerobic activity. Swinging your arms in a nice brisk walk instead of watching TV can help to prevent stiffened shoulders that make it difficult to do sim- ple chores like fixing your hair, she says. It can also build confidence and help you stay in control of your body and your lifestyle. If you know you can walk around the block without difficulty, you won't hesitate to catch the bus to go downtown shoppingor to a show. Physical fitness, coupled with good nutrition, can also eliminate many of the non-prescription drugs that leave older people with the idea that they are ill, says Pfeiffer. "There is solid evidence that moderate exercise can be at least as effec-- tive as calcium supplements in the preven- tion of osteopo'rosis."
