Thousands of kids will be leaping into the soft piles and getting bits of bright colored leaves in their hair and pockets. Did you ever wonder why leaves fall in the autumn, or why they change colors? Many people think that leaves fall because of the first frost of autumn. Guess what? This isn't true! In fact, frost temperatures have little to do with leaves falling at all. But why do they fall? Every autumn a layer of cells forms at the base of leaf stems. This layer becomes soft — a wind comes along and to dah! — the leaf blows away. This layer of cells form for several reasons. Frost isn't one of them, but lower temperatures is. So is a lack of water. Scientists think that the main reason is the change in the length of day. Leaves seem to be sensitive to the sun going down earlier in the autumn. Not all leaves "change" color in the autumn, they just look as if they have. Yellow, orange, and brown colors have always been present in the leaves, its just that the bright green color of summer masks them. In the summer the green color fades because trees stop making it. Scientists don't know why, but they do know that the other colors shine through. Leaves that become red or purple in the fall have changed color. Trees start to make these two colors in the crisp, clear days of autumn. Now you know why leaves turn different colors and why they fall. Have fun playing in them!

More common than a ten- sion headache, it is the number one complaint of people knocking on the chiropractor's door. And the back spasm itseta, waaere the muscles tie up so Much the victim feels unable to move, is about as devastating and anxiety -producing as a mid- life crisis. The trouble with lower - back pain is that the victim isn't too sure of the cause and is also afraid that there's no hope of getting better. Nothing destroys morale as much as not being able to do what you once could, because of some pain you can't figure out but are terribly afraid is serious. See your doctor. Obvious- ly, a worried person is more tense and unfortunately, will suffer more pain. Ask him to suggest some reading to help you understand your situa- tion. Dr. Hamilton Hall's The Back Doctor is a very clear explanation based on his own patients' ex- periences. It helps to know you're not alone too. If you have your doctor's College offers tech training Industries in the four - county area (Waterloo, Wellington, Perth and Huron) served by Conestoga College can make use of the college's new high- technology centre through an Ontario government program known as Training in Business and Industry, Phase Two (TIBI-II ). Located at the Doon campus in Kitchener, Conestoga's new facility is called the CAD -CAM Centre. CAD -CAM stands for computer-aided design, computer-aided manufac- turing. Many industries, to im- prove productivity and enhance competitiveness, are moving into CAD -CAM technology. To assist these industries, the Ontario government has established a provincial CAD -CAM Centre in Cambridge. Conestoga's CAD -CAM Centre., which will begin ...operation in September, places the college in an educational leadership position in this high- technology field. At the Conestoga facility, product design drawings may be done at computer terminals in either a two- dimensinal or a three- dimensional mode. When the design is ready, graphics 44 t'llth 1 Ij111 1 flip 1'11111 1 • .10 • • • • • MA • _• • • web plotters generate working drawings with incredible speed and accuracy. The college also has a variety of computerized manufac- turing equipment which, through use of a computer program, can produce metal machine parts. By participating in TIBI- II, industries can arrange for specific high-technology skills training for em- ployees. College personnel are available to assist in developing and im- plementing a tailor-made curriculum for each in- dustrial client. Established in 1981, the TIBI-II program has assisted more than 30 companies and more than 15,000 employees province - wide in education related to a variety of high-technology skills.

Don't flin- ch. This is exercise that helps you to relax and sup- port those over -stressed back muscles. Let me give you a little background. I'm a fitness in- structor at Vanastra Recrea- tion Centre and the `Active Care of Back Pain' program is my responsibility. The program was designed by Doug Lafreniere, a graduate in kinesiology at McMaster and has been approved by local chiropractors and medical practitioners. It's been going for a year now and, according to the people who have taken the classes, has been a great help. Here's an idea of what happens in a typical class. Let's use Brenda as an ex- ample of the low -back -pain sufferer. She's had one ma- jor spasm that put her to bed for a week, but she "recovered," more or less, from that and is able to go along with her daily work. The only thing is, her back aches at the end of the day and she has a terrible feeling in the pit of her stomach that she's going to be like this for the rest of her life. At the first class, she's nervous, more than she thought she'd be. She's afraid this is going to hurt and she's probably a bit in- timidated about exercising in front of strangers anyway. (She's not in the best of shape, so she thinks.) In fact, she's so nervous, she can't seem to breathe. She's right, she can't breathe. So the first thing we do is breathing exercises, trying to get the strain out off those shoulders, that neck, the back. Try it at home: Lie down on the carpet, or an ex- ercise mat if you have one. Your feet should be flat on the floor, your knees bent, your arms relaxed by your sides. Close your eyes and take long, slow, deep breaths. Inhale through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. Now, tuck your chin in, breathe in, and think about touching the back of your neck to the mat. Breathe out, let your chin relax up and let your neck relax off the mat. Tension leaves with the stale air. Then move your attention down to the shoulders and the upper back. Breathe in and push the upper back into the mat. Breathe out and relax through the upper back. Concentrate on your feeling of relaxation. Now focus on your lower back. Breathe in and tilt your seat up so your lower back is in contact with the mat. Breathe out and relax through the lower back. Once you feel that you can relax, we go on to more relaxation, stretching, and strengthening exercises. Interested? I hope so. Give us a call (482-3544). Ask questions. We're glad to help.
