In his speech Saturday night to over 150 guests, Smith stessed the importance and strength of rural Canada and described the urban scene as discouraging. In the real Canada of towns and countryside, Cana- dian bravery and service are displayed by volunteer fire departments and com- munities that mobilize to rescue people from natural disasters, -People in small towns are more signifi- cant than people in big cities," said Smith. Smith, a former newspaper reporter who began his career with the Woodstock Sentinel, attacked the media for its lack of concern and focus on the issue of maintain- ing a strong militia and reserve system. In areas where there is no reserve unit .it is difficult to remind people what we have and what we treasure in any community cannot betaken for granted, said Smith. It must be defended from time to time. As a veteran of The Second World War, where he served as a member , of The • Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment in Italy, Smith called for changes in' Cana- dian military policy. ; Canadians, Smith said, have little knowledge of the regular forces or'militia and feels both should be increased. However the • trend has been just the opposite. In 1964, Defence Minister, Paul Hellyer disbanded 72 militia units and Smith's own regiment, one of the largest, was reduced to two companies. Smith feels manditory military service should have been inp- plimented after the. war. The current .Defence Minister, Perrin Beatty, has small town. roots and is working to in- crease military capabilities.. Beatty's proposal to..have a Canadian division in Germany would repair the . weakness caused by Trudeau wyhen he cut Canada's NATO contingent in half, said Smith' , His speech also highlighted the bravery stresse in s eech Peen Smith, a former reporter, was the guest speaker Saturday night at the Vimy Memorial Banquet at Goderich Legion Branch 109.

At first, .Smith was unable to• find a publisher for his book and resorted to hav . ing it printed indendently. A -businessman friend distributed the book through a mail order service from his, office. Only three copies of the original printing of 1,000 are left, _ said Smith. Smith is currently negoiating with a Toronto publisher and ' expects the book to appear as a soft cover edition. Smith works as the research director of the Toronto Real Estate Board and is in the process of writing a history of the Board.

The next time you' have something heavy to lift, do it properly. Before you begin, get a firm footing with your feet apart for a stable ' base, bend your knees, tighten your stomach muscles and lift with your Legs. When carrying the load, keep it clbse to your body and keep your back upright. Learning to reduce stress: combined with a sensible diet and exercise program . an relieve back pain and start you on the rad to a healthier lifestyle. You'll look bet er, too! Since your spine is sensitive to Muscular tensions that can build up during a stress -filled day it's important to learn how to relax. Try to organize your daily routine to make it easier on both your mind and body, and take life one day at a time. Exer- cise can be an effective stress reducer and, - since 80 per cent of back pain can be traced to a lack of exercise, is an important Bart of a healthy back program. Condition your muscles to work as a team by starting a regular exercise program.. Include exer- cises that strengthen the muscles in your back, upper legs, and especially the ab- domen to increase your spine's. support. Reducing a.potbelly and strengthening your abdominals are major factors in reducing a Tway -back and decreasing the force exerted on the back. Along with strengthening your muscles, it's also importaht to stretch them out. Tight, shortened muscles can upset muscular balance which increases the -chances of back injury. Stretching exercises make muscles more flexible and motion easier. Good posture gives your hack the support it needs. Sitting tends to tilt the pelvis the wrong way and is more stressful for your • back than standing or walking: It's best not to sit too long and to get up, stretch, and walk around occasionally. Standing for long periods of time can also put a strain on your back. To help•decrease this strain, stand with one foot elevated at a comfortable level and switch feet every half hour or so, Check your posture by placing your head and back against a wall. Move your pelvis forward, bend your knees slightly so that your back .touches the wall, and walk away holding that' position. If it feels comfortable, your normal posture is probably ok. Sleeping rests your back because while ly- ing down, it doesn't have to Support your body weight. To promote the most restful sleep, use a firm mattress or waterbed and sleep on your side with your knees bent or on your back with your knees elevated. It's up to you. Every move you make, on - and ,off the job, depends on your back. So keep your back in mind throughout gout day, while you sit, stand, lift and carry." Remember to practice the principles of good body mechanics, and think before you move.
