She is now trying to eliminate worship services on - radio and T.V. as well as all Christmas programs and Christmas carols in the schools. There seems to be general support for Petition #2943 to counteract the attempts of this woman. Letters may be sent to Murray Elston, or to Washington, D.C. Over a million signed letters are needed to defeat Madelyn O'Hare by showing that there are still many Christians in America and Canada. The remainder of the program was pot luck which included several New Year's readings. Deanna Reavie gave the announ- cements.3..We are asked to continue to save Campbell Soup labels, Knechtel tapes, stamps and tabs from pop cans.

Like mann parents, you may say "ver)y," .ifiven all the running around you constantly see about you! Or you may be concerned by all that TV watching going on. • • • . Let's get some facts from the 1981 Canada Fitness Survey and the 1988 Campbell Survey to see. where our children. really stand• (or don't stand!). Here's what the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute. found when it conducted those surveys: . The fitness story: Fitness is a combination of.strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility and body composition. Whereas boys score higher on strength, girls score higher on• flexibility. Boys' and girls' strength and enduran.e have decreased since 1981, as did boys' flexibility, Cardiorespiratory••fitness increased slightly. for girls and decreased slightly for‘boys, elimi- nating previous gender differences in cardiorespiratory fitness levels. ' The activity story. The good news is that children now spend more Aim and energy on physical activity. The had news is' that they now engage in less vigorous activi• tics: they' choose activities Of low intensity while letting go• of modrrate-intensity ones. Yet, compared with. other ,age groups. young Canadians are the most physically active. Bul are. they active enough? Both '• fitness and activity promote good health. However, fitness is -partly due to genes and other environmental factors like antvunt and type of food. We therefore don't• have as much control over it. We do over our •activity.levels.. however. Evidence shows that for adults, it is physical activity that is most 'important to lowering the risk of disease. In fact, physical•activity may bring about health~benefits-such as a reduction in osteoporosis and dep•r.ession,• which fitness won't bring. If physical activity is so impor tant to the health of adults, shouldn't we make sure that kids pick up the habit at a young age? The best place to reach all children, regardlless of skill or background. is the school. Quality daily physical education classes can help kids to participate in physical activity and appreciate it. To make it a Lifelong habit, children should also be, active in a vaq'tety of settings— during.school, during chores and at p19Y• Parents have a large part to play in making •sure that children -get enough activity..
