THE MARCH, ?,1980 1 S
Legion players in district cribbage tournament
The Legion had a comparatively quiet
week with very little of reader interest hap-
pening. Probably the biggest news is
treasurer Don Eaton is back from a holiday
in Vegas, where he and his wife Joan, along
with Past President Jack Muir and Marie,
went to try their luck and see some of the
better shows which are available there.
There is a bus leaving next Saturday,
March 12 taking three teams of -Cribbage
players to the District Cribbage tournament
at Shallow Lake. If anyone would like to go
for the ride and watch the tourament there
are a number of seats available. If in-
terested contact Linda Gridzak for times of
leaving and returning. The Branch wishes
you all the best of luck in the world at the
-card table.

Walking is one of the best exercises
One of the best forms of physical exercise
invented is right under our noses: Actually,
closer to the ground, to be more specific. It's
walking. Walking can be done anywhere,
anytime, by almost anyone and it costs
nothing, except the effort to get from here to
there.
Walking is the most popular form of exer-
cise in Ontario, and not because we have to
do it. A 1988 study conducted by the Sports
and Fitness Branch of the Ontario Ministry
of Tourism and Recreation indicates over
one-quarter of Ontario's 6.5 million adult
population engage in walking as a physical
fitness activity — roughly 1.7 million people.
Experts contend walking rejuvenates
both body and spirit, firming muscles,
loosening limbs and releasing physical and
emotional tension.
But the benefits depend on the way we
walk. According to Dr. Roy Shephard,
Director of the School of Physical and
Health Education at the University. of
Toronto, many people walk in,too leisurely a
Fashion to help their cardio -vascular
systems.
• As a fitness activity, the idea is to burn up
as many calories as possible during your
walk, Dr. Shepard says. "But the leisurely
walk takes too few calories to get from point
A to point B."
What about the commonly -held belief that
if you jog, you'll get more exercise than if
you walk? Not so, says Dr. Shephard, an ac-
tive walker himself. "I actually pass people
who are jogging. They're expending less
energy."
Besides, he adds, jogging puts triple the
stress on the knees.
Most people, walk at a pace which in-
creases the heart rate to only 100 to 110 beats
per minute. For walking to be effective,
"140 to 150 would be a reasonable rate for
the average person," Dr. Shephard says.
"But don't rush into things!" advises Art
Salmon, Manager of the Fitness Section of
Sports and Fitness Ontario. "Start slowly.
Don't expect to go out and walk five miles
the first day."
Before beginning a walking program, it's
best to check with your family physician.
The workplace, where most of us spend
most of our time, has great potential as an
environment for walking fitness.
Even if you work in a confined office, you
:an engage in workday walking. It's a good
idea to plan for it even before stepping out
the front door of your home.
Walking can be a convenient five minutes
of exercise every morning and evening.
Over five business days, that's an extra 50
minutes of exercise per week. All one has to
do is leave for work five minutes earlier.
For example, walking a few extra blocks
to the bus stop in the fresh morning air can
get you prepared for the new day.
Statistics from Sports and Fitness Ontario
indicate that women walk more than men.
"Ten percent more women walk more than
men,' Mr. Salmon says. The same study
showed 27 per cent of the province's adult
female population walked as a form of
physical fitness, compared to 17 per cent of
the male population.
Experts offer one reason for the gap — the
family car. In one -car families, especially in
large and urban areas, the man of the house
often has first call on the automobile, for
work and leisure travel.
Women are more likely to use other -forms
of transportation — usually public transit,
which means a two or three -block trek to
and from the bus or subway stop.
Once at the office, men and women can
benefit equally by taking advantage of walk-
ing opportunities. One way is to take the
stairs, which offers more than one life sav-
ing benefit. Besides improving your
physical condition, you'll also become
familiar with the fire escape route.
If "stair -climbing" isn't your style, con-
sider a brisk lunchtime walk before eating.
Not only will you burn up calories, you'll
likely end up eating less. The operative
word in this exercise is "brisk".
Choice of footwear is probably the single -
most important factor in preparing for a
walking program. "You don't need fancy
running shoes," Dr. Shephard says.
The key is to wear comfortable,
lightweight shoes which allow for flexibility.
Arch support and cushioning should be ade-
quate for the bottom of the feet. One-fourth
to one-half inch of space between the longest
toe and tip of the shoe allows the feet room
to expand while walking. Shoes made of
canvas, nylon mesh, even soft leather, allow
the feet to "breathe" during exercise.

Clothing is also important. In summer, a
hat or visor offers protection for the sun's
rays and light-coloured, loose -fitting clothes
are best. In winter, a wool cap, gloves and
insulated insoles are recommended.
Proper warm-up and cool -down pro-
cedures should be followed. Walk slowly for
five minutes at the start, gradually building
up speed. This allows body temperature,
heart and respiratory rate to rise, thus
reducing the risk of injury. Don't forget to
stretch your lower back, legs and feet before
starting.
When you're just about finished your
walk, gradually slow down. Brief stretching
exercises will pump blood back up to the
rest of the body.
After the walk, examine your feet for
tenderness which might signal the beginn-
ing of a blister. If problems persist, see your
doctor.
By the way, if you're reading this on the
way to work, get off the bus one stop early
and walk!

Public feedback requested on study
The Ontario Study of the Relevance of
Education and the Issue of Dropouts was
released this week.
One of eight studies commissioned by the
Ministry of Education, the Radwanski
Report identifies and `recommends ways of
ensuring that Ontario's system of education
is fully relevant to the future needs of the
province's young people.
The study targeted both elementary and
secondary levels. Key recommendations in
the Report call for a return to basic learning
skills, standardized curricula and grading,
stable classroom settings and province -wide
testing.
Both Premier Peterson and Education
Minister Chris Ward welcomed the study
and await further comments from school
boards, parent groups, universities, col-
leges, and labour and professional
organizations.
"The Report has raised a number of in-
teresting analyses as well as potential solu-
tions to the problems confronting the educa-
tion system in Ontario," the Premier said.
The Ministry of Education is distributing
copies of the Report to all interested groups
and asks for comments to be su4mitted by
June 20.
Premier Peterson noted that the govern-
ment will act quickly on the Report's fin-
dings as soon as it has consulted with all in-
terested parties.
