In order to have good posture, I thought all one had to do was stand straight, keep their head up and their shoulders back. After reading about posture in Participaction Network, I found out just how far off I was. Did you know there are things such as posture exercises? When I first read about them, they sounded pretty silly, ( not to men- tion how I looked trying a few of them), but the second reading made a little more sense. I still can't figure out how yawning stret- ches help your posture. What you do is open your mouth wide in- a yawn and work your lower jaw around. It says that these stret- ches relieve tension and loosen the jaw. What that has to do with posture still has me ' baffled. An exercise that I found rather interesting was the chin thrusts. This exercise is done to correct the head -forward position and cur- vature of the upper back. All that is required for this one is that a person stand, or sit, with their head upright and face vertical. Then push your chin forward and pull it back along a horizontal line. I won't try this one around strangers, they may think you . have a problem. The remaining six exercises; shoulder flies, chest lifts, crunches, pelvic tilts, stan- ding hamstring and toe -ups seem more logical. They strengthen abdominal muscles, back muscles and leg muscles. Poor posture can have serious con- sequences on a person's health, appearance and performance. Our posture is a habit that we learn early in life. If a person starts out with bad posture they must pay close at- tention to their habits m order to correct it. Dr. Adrian Grice, a Toronto chiropractor and kinesiologist says, "The key to posture is proper vertical alignment of body parts to minimize stress andstrain and maximize efficiency and support." Dr. Grice suggests that the head, the body and the legs should be in one straight line. If this line is bent, a person will suffer un- necessary fatigue, stress, strain and physical inefficiency. - The main causes of poor posture are poor .muscle fitness and inflexibility or poor habits that cause muscular imbalances that pull the body out of line. The best thing for good posture is to exercise regularly. So stand up straight, keep your chin up, eyes forward, shoulders back, stomach in and chest out, but remember, posture is an important component of fitness, and fitness is an important component of posture.

Willard and Art Aiken .AIKEN'S LUGGAGE -LEATHER GOODS The Clinton Bantam B's had difficulty handling the Brussels team on December 15 at the Clinton Arena. The visiting team returned home with a 6-0 shutout. Clinton's next game is December 21 in Goderich with game time set for 8:45 p.m. ( Anne Narejko photo) Mustangs lose fifth game in a row CLINTON - Two losses over the weekend give the Clinton Junior "C" Mustangs five winless games in a row. However, the Walkerton Black Hawks are pulling some upsets in the league, helping the Mustangs hang on to third place with 16 points. Hanover has a strong hold on first place as they are undefeated in 18 games. Wingham is sitting in second, four points ahead of .the 'Mustangs. The Mustangs' last win was on November 28 when they outplayed Walkerton to the tune of 8-3. Since then, the local team has been sliding. "If we had a choice as to when the team should slide, now would be the time to do it as opposed to the playoffs." commented Manager Wayne Wiggins. On December 14, the Mustangs lost 6-3 to •Wingham at the local arena. On December 16 they travelled to. Hanover where they scored one goal to their opponents' 11. Wingham 6 - Clinton 3 •'Neither team played well," was Manager Wiggins' comment on the game that. saw David Wright and Tom Smith receive game suspensions. Wright received one game suspension . ,forbeing the aggressor in a•• fight and Smith received three games suspension for butt -ending. Wingham had a two goal lead before the Mustangs' Mark Crawford put one between the posts of the Wingham net. Randy Marriage picked up the lone assist. A shorthanded goal by Marriage early in the second period tied that game at two apiece, however, Winghana replied with a single goal to regain their lead. With only 28 seconds gone in the third peiod, Wingham scored on a powerplay to make the score 4-2. The Mustangs' Paul Gravel and Brad .Armstrong teamed up to cut their opponents' lead to one, but two Wingham goals put the game out of reach. Hanover 11- Clinton 1 A lone first period goal was all the Mustangs could manage when they faced -off against the HanoverBarons. The loss shouldn't come as a surprise to Mustang fans as the Barons are on a winning streak, undefeated after 18 games. Brad Armstrong scored the Mustangs' only goal of the game one minute after the Barons netted their opening goal. The. Barons scored one more first period goal, two in the second period and seven in the third period to take the game 11-1. Mark Crawford picked up the lone assist on the Clinton goal. In previous games against the Barons, the Mustangs fared inuch. better. The season opener saw the two teams play to a game which was decided by two goals, leaving the score at 7-5. On October 26 Hanover defeated the Mustangs by three goals with a 5-2 victory.. Three goals also separated the teams on November 11 when Hanover won 7- 4. Although there is no panic over the Mustangs' situation at the moment, Manager Wiggins stated that "concern is starting."

Basically council had two choices - grant the recrea- tion committee the $10,000, or shut down the arena. The recorded vote saw Mayor Chester Archibald, Councillors Gerrits, Carter, Cooke and Hunter in favor of the ex- tra funding while Reeve Brown, Deputy Reeve Van Altena and Councillors Burgess and Deeves were opposed. During the December 13 recreation com- mittee meeting, Secretary -Treasurer Marie Jefferson announced that the extra money had not been touched yet. "I've. been scrounging but we'still-haven't had to use the money,” she commented. Although the committee members were pleased with the announcement, some were reluctant to express too much satisfaction, stating "let's wait until the end of December before we get too excited." However, • Clinton Recreation Director Kevin Duguay added, "December should be the -best month."
