The 'fit test' consists of measures of blood pressure, respiratory function, aerobic capacity. muscular en- durance, muscular strength, flexibility. body fat and calculation of ideal body weight. Following the test items is an informative consultation and exercise prescription session. When the fit test first visited Exeter in November last year, 50 adults from the community participated. At the regional level, the fit test unit had visited over 40 communities in South- western Ontario during the first fiscal year of operation, and over 2.000 individuals were tested and given exercise prescriptions. In this current year of operation, Fitness Ontario will also be examining the results of people who are being re -tested to determine if their levels of fitness have improved. There are already indications that the people who followed their prescriptions have made improvements on various physical fitness measures. Fitness Ontario w;i11 also arrange visits to institutions and industries to promote physical fitness and health while they're visiting in the area. They have films and slides available. and a seven minute exercise break program designed to fit into a coffee break at work. Anyone wishing to book films or the exercise demonstration should contact John Harrison at the London YMCA at 433 Wellington St. The phone is 432-3706. extension 53.

T -A photo Santa keeps busy, at Craig, Saturday By JOY SCHEIFELE AILSA CRAIG There is no denying that no one has a busier schedule than Dear old Santa himself this time of year. However he has promised faithfully to keep his appointment to attend the annual parade in Ailsa Craig this coming Saturday at 1 p.m. In order to give his over worked reindeer a chance to rest up for the big night on December 24, the Ailsa Craig firemen are making arrangements for his transportation into town on one of the fire trucks. To give Santa all the pomp and glory he deserves, one of London's top marching bands will be on hand to lead this year's parade. The Imperial Drum and Bugle Corps. a 50 piece band from London will bring their well known music to lead the number of floats along Main street. Several have been busy designing and building their floats these past weeks and anyone interested in taking part in the annual parade is more than welcome to do so. Prizes will be awarded for the best entries. Night class is popular By JOY SCHEIFELE Wednesday evening the conclusion of a successful night course took place at the Senior Citizens' Activity Centre in Ailsa Craig. An eight week wood- working course, sponsored by Fanshawe College, was held each Wednesday evening at the Craigweil Gardens Activity Centre. Six students included one woman, sawed, drilled, sanded and polished each evening with most satisfying results. At its conclusion the novice workers were able to carry home end tables, bookshelves, planters, and even a child's desk; whatever they had chosen to tackle during the instruction sessions. While most of the students were local, two gentlemen faithfully made the drive each week from Thedford. Many expressed ap- preciation for the course and instructor, Joe Kuracina, and hope that a similar course can again be held. The Activity Centre is open for them to continue prac- ticing their skills on their own also. The Luxury Class ENTICER 340 DELUXE r ELDER ENTERPRISES SALES & SERVICE DIAL 262-6142 HENSALL - ONT.

City folks problems for cousins The Ontario Federation of Agriculture doesn't like city folk who live in the country and complain about farm smells and noise while hav- ing the power to restrict farmers in their operations. The annual federation con- vention passed a resolution asking the province to replace the Agricultural Code of Practice which, it said. allows urban intrusion into farmland and gives non - farmers a basis for com- plaints. The federation argues that farming is an industry and. if city people decide to move to the country, they should realize they are moving to the country. they should realize they are moving into an industrial zone with its odors and sounds. "It always puts the onus on farmers to change their methods of farming.-- im- mediate past -president Peter Hannam told delegates He also said urban - oriented rural politicians too often opt in favour of non - farmers in such environmen- tal disputes To put the onus on the non - farmer. the federation wants the government to replace the agricultural code with these measures. • Provincial and municipal governments should change agricultural zoning to be permissive rather than restrictive to the farm industry. Zoning should limit the ability of non-farm uses to restrict agricultural practices: • A provincial code of rights should be established to provide backing for agricultural zoning bylaws: • Provincial and regional committees of farmers should be established to define what normal farming practices would be per- mitted. and to investigate and arbitrate complaints against farmers. GRADUATES — Mrs. Marlene Maxwell graduated recently from the Marvel Beauty School in Lon- don. Smile studio photo Stratford official heads, 55 board Ronald Marcy, 44, of Stratford, was elected chairman of the Huron -Perth county Roman Catholic Separate school board at a meeting in Dublin Monday. He defeated John O'Leary of Staffa. Mr. Marcy, head of the mathematics department at Northwestern Secondary school in Stratford, succeeds William Kinahan of Lucknow. Ronald Murray, 43, a Dublin area farmer, was acclaimed vice-chairman. Ronald Marcy said one of the main things facing the board in the coming year is declining enrolment as it has been in the past two years. He said the board has faced this by changing boundaries in Stratford and triple grades in some schools. Mr. Marcy said staffing was a concern with the 19 schools in the system overstaffed according to the board's formula. In 1980 he said he is hopeful of getting the staff to what it should be according to formula. In Kingsbridge integrated transportation has been working out satisfactorily and saving the board money, he said, and hoped this could be continued in other areas. He said the primary thing is to think of the children and aim to provide the best of education for them. Ron Murray said, "If I'm needed, I'll be here." Rev. Tony Sonderup, Wingham, Dean of Stratford Deanery, asked, "How can we get the enrolment?. Have we gotten into the habit of thinking 'small is beautiful'? Can we not think more positively and think of larger families?" The board passed a borrowing by-law of $3 million to be used to carry on board business until current revenue has been received.
