You work in a factory, perhaps
on an assembly line, or in an of-
fice, your back beat over papers
on the desk in front of you. Now
imagine that someone walks to
the front of the room and in-
structs everyone to commence a
routine of exercise for about 10 to
15 minutes.
It. wouldn't be unusual if you
,'worked in -Sweden as sport and
exercise are part of their culture.
Carolyn Schofield, a physical
education teacher at F. E. Madill
for the past two years, ° was
recently in Sweden for a 15 -day
intensive study on Sweden's ad-
vanced system of fitness.
Miss Schofield explained that
industries buy tapes with instruc-
tions for the exercise routine.
Some do the exercises twice a
day. Miss Schofield said she did
the exercises. "You do feel so
good after them. It was really re-
laxing."
Several lectures and tours of
recreation facilities kept the
group of 40 people busy for the 15
days. The course had been
organized by the Institute of
Comparative Physical Educa-
tion, Concordia University,
Montreal, as part of its annual
study -abroad program.
Miss Schofield applied to the
program and was accepted along
with a majority of Canadian and
some American people. They in-
cluded teachers, professors,
directors of athletic programs,
students, coaches, and YM and
YWCA participants. They came
from all over Canada and the
States.
She stayed in Boson at a
Swedish Sports Federation Col-
lege. Studies took place here as
well as provision for sleeping,
eating, and physical exercise.
Miss Schofield jogged every day
with a woman who has run na-
tionally.
As the group left the college an
international soccer team was
coming in. The college is booked
year round.
One of the first lectures was on
the Federal policy �n priority of
fitness. A Swedish 'sports federa-
tion was formed years ago as
they felt half the people were
physically unfit. Miss Schofield
says she watched for fat people
and saw only two on a street in
Stockholm.
She was, impressed with the

VISITS SWEDEN—Carolyn Schofield, an F. E. Madill
physical education teacher was recently in Sweden
studying their advanced physical program. It involved an
intensive study in the 15 days she was there with a group of
40 from all over Canada and the U.S.
recreation clubs which are open
to everyone. "The clubs are inex-
pensive," she said, "maybe even
free." There are volunteer nurses
and doctors at these clubs to set
up a whole training program
when wanted. There is equipment
for testing your state of fitness
and this can be used to see the
progress made after exercise has
started.
"I think it would encourage
people' to continue exercising.
Many people around here have
started jogging but give up after
a couple of months because ,they
don't think it is doing anything,"
she said. She compared the clubs
to those in Canada where you
have to "pay an arm and a leg" to
join.
There. are tennis courts, jog-
ging trails with lights for night
running, sauna, baths, pools and
many other facilities. "Sport for
all is their philosophy," she said.
"In fact, there is a law called the
Right of Commonland, whereby a
Swede has the right to hike,, jog
and passthrough anyiand. Home
properties are not included but
there, aren't any "no trespass-
ICW members reminded
to make good use of time•
FORDWICH L. Members of the
evening unit of the United Church.
Women were reminded to use
their time wisely when their June
meeting was held Wednesday of
last week at the home of Mrs.
Goosen Winkel.
"The Lord Is my Pace Setter"
was the title of a poem read by
Mrs. Ron Livermore to open the
worship service. She read the
story of Lydia, a busy and re-
ligiou5 woman of the Bible, and
finished with the story "Take
Time To Read Your Bible". Mrs.
Eva Harris led the group in
prayer and the hymn, "Take
Time To Be Holy" continued to
urge the women to make wise use
of their time.
Following the worship service,
the program . committee con-
tinued with the theme. Mrs.
Gerald D'Arcey and Mrs. Doug
Harding performed . a skit on
"Time". Mrs. Harding then read
a story about a boy who thought
there should be Kids' Lib, as the
children of the household were
constantly doing Mother's work
while she worked 'away from
home. Mrs. D'Arcey read "When
I Have Time's.
Mrs. Ben Gibson's group pre-
sided for the business. Roll call
was answered by 19 members.
Members held a discussion about
the church nursery for the sum-
mer. Garden party posters were
made and members planned
where to display them. The unit
will make recipe books to be sold
in the fall.
Lunch was served by Mrs. Jim
Douglas and Mrs. Garfield Gib-
son. The next meeting will be
held at Mrs. ,Gibson's home and
will be in the form of a picnic,

ing" signs.
She said our facilities, at high
schools and colleges are limited,
to a very small percentage of the
population.
If you were to talk to a Swede
he would say they have the same
problems as we have in Canada.
"You couldn't say they are fit and
we aren't. In Canada we would
get statistics to find how- many
people are unfit. Sport is a
Swedish culture, they don't have
to prove it with statistics, they
accept it," she comments.
The training of a physical
education teacher is much the
same as Canadian teachers re-
ceive. Competition is not stressed
in the schools and there are no
coaches in them.
Miss Schofield thinks no
competition is a good idea. "They
didn't stress competition in class
either. If they spot someone who
is particularily good, that person
is encouraged to join a club for
coaching," she said. The coaches
in the clubs are all volunteers.
They still stress that clubs are for
everyone.
Another highlight of Miss Scho-
field's stay was a jazz dance
lesson from Monica Beckman
whose superior talents have her
already booked for „1978 at
various places in Europe.
Am aspect of Swedish life that
surprised Miss Schofield was the
high carbohydrate diet they were
served. "They suggest six to
eight slices of bread a day.
Before I reft I never ate bread.
They • found :that the less th
carbohydrate intake, the more
the fat intake. I felt full all the
time, but I din't gain any
weight," she said.
One sight she saw that "just
astounded me",was 1,500 women
from their teens to over 80 pre-
paring for a gymnastics show.
"They were all in their gym suits.
It was a wonderful sight."
Miss Schofield will be able to
use some of what she learned
when teaching her students. One
piece of advice they were given
was to stick ,with your culture.
Miss Schofield said here it is hard
to identify with any sport except
.hockey. "
She believes thatexercise is
becoming more prevalent among
Canadians especially. since the,
Montreal Olympics.
Miss Schofield said •it; is pos-
sible Swedes will be coming to
Canada sometime to see our
facilities.

• BLUEVALE — The Associate
Members' meeting of the
Women's Missionary Society of
the 'Presbyterian Church met at
the home of Mrs. Keith Moffatt
with eleven of the same faithful
regulars in attendance, a fact
which caused many to ask,
,"Where were the Associate
embers?"
The president, Mrs. Glenn Gol-
ley, chaired the meeting and used
as her call to worship, a poem en-
titled "The Best Things Are
Free", followed by a hymn, The
hostess conducted the devotions
based on Psalm 126 noting that
some seeds that need to be plant-
ed each day are those of friend-
ship, love, study, work and good
health habits. Prayer by Mrs.
Wm. Robertson followed.
The guest speaker, Mrs. Rob-
ert Campbell of Wingham,
was introduced by the hostess.
She chose as her topic "Rocks"
and used various scriptural
references• from the Psalms
throughout- the discourse. She
said rocks are used in building
foundations because they are
strong, solid and sure. They stand
the test of time as Jesus has, "He
is solid and sure and He should be
the cornerstone of our faith, a
source of strength, Who can give
us joy and peace."
Delicious refreshments served
by Mrs. William Robertson and
the hostess terminated this plea-
sant get-together.

To Goderich by goat?
GORRIE — Members of
Howick Township Council will
attend 150th anniversa cele-
brations in Goderich on '�.atur-
day, July 9, but their mo s e of
transportation is unknown at this
time. It could be anything from
an antique car to "the biggest,
oldest billy goat you ever saw."
The services of the goat were
offered by Coun. Walter Ren-
wick. He owns .the animal and
noted that "he's been known to
charge ... and he can sure kick."
He made the offer to Howick
Clerk Wes Ball at the township's
June session held on Thursday
night. It followed an invitation
from the Town of Goderich for
members of council to attend its
150th anniversary celebrations.
"I'll tell you what Wes, you
dress up and I'll supply the trans-
portation — the biggest, oldest
billy goat you ever saw," Coun.
Renwick said. "
After the merriment died
down, some councillors felt per-
haps the sight of their clerk
astride a goat might not be digni-
fied enough.
Coun. Bill Newton noted that he
still had his suit of clothes left
over from Edmonton's Klondike
bays and „he offered them to
Reeve Harold Robinson, remark-
ing what a fine figure he would
'cut in the formal attire. Council
felt perhaps "one of George
Brown's antique cars" would' be
just the thing for the decked -out
reeve.
Reeve Robinson had some ideas
of his own — or rather his wife, to
pass along to council. He
menii'oned .that Mrs. Robinson
had suggested that council might
like to get out the huge birthday
cake which was used to mark
centennial celebrations. Ap-
parently the big . cake is safely
stored away in a basement.
Itust be, getting pretty
dam �e by now," quipped one
councillor. "Oh no," replied
another, "it's like Christmas
cake = gets better with age."
In the end Reeve Robinson in-
structed Clerk Ball to lel
Goderich know they would attenc
a'nd. "have somebody doini
something on something."
