Retires as President of
ORO after Two -Year Term
The 18th annual provincial
conference of the Ontario Rec-
reation Association was held
May 2-4, in Peterborough.
Walter Harris of that city was
elected president, succeeding
Bill Conron of Wingham, who
has held the position for the
past two years.
The theme for the confer-
ence was "Communications" .
Dr. R. W. Dent of the O. A. C. ,
Guelph, presented a most in-
teresting address dealing with
the different aspects of this
subject. He used visual aids
to show how a conversation be-
tween two people could be in-
terpreted in many different
ways. The manner in which a
new idea is presented is most
important if, it is to be under-
stood and accepted. This is
where many breakdowns occur
in public relations.
Jack Dane, director of re-
creation for Forest Hill Village,
Toronto, was the speaker for
the Friday evening banquet.
He based his remarks on "Im-
proving Relations with the Pub-
lic." He stated that the gener-
al public is not fully aware of
the importance a good recrea-
tion program for a community
or of the great strides that have
been made in this field. This,
he thinks, has been largely due
to lack of publicity by news-
papers, T. V. and radio. He
would like to have a public
relations man appointed to as-
sume the responsibility of keep-
ing the public and the govern-
ment fully informed.
On Saturday afternoon an
open "Press Conference on Fit-
ness" was held with Bob Secord,
supervisor of Community Pro-
grams Branch, as moderator.
Gordon Wright, director of fit-
ness and amateur sport for the
federal government, and Jim
Leishman, director of Com-
munity Programs Branch were
interviewed by Bill Stevenson,
sportscaster of C, F. R, B. Tor-
onto, Jim Vipond, sports edi-
tor of the Globe and Mail and
John Donho, sportscaster
C. N. E. X. Peterborough.
An interesting question put
forth by Bill Stevenson, was
"Why is the Fitness Branch giv-
ing C. A. H. A. $50, 000 to
spend on a training school for
hockey coaches"y He main-
tained that professional hockey
players who have retired from
the game, should be willing to
donate their time and efforts
to improve Canada's national
sport.
Mr. Wright stated that the
grant was being made to the
C. A. H. A. and the Canadian
Intercollegiate Hockey Union.
Coaching would be done at the
university level, to stress the
speed and skill needed, in
contrast to the emphasis on
physical contact which domin-
ates tile game today.
The speaker for the closing
banquet Saturday evening, was
A. Kaufman, president of
Tecnifax, Holyoke, Mass.
TBC Chorale Was
Well Received
There was a full congrega-
tion Sunday morning in St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church,
and a large attendance again
in the evening, when the Tor-
onto Bible College Chorale
visited Wingham. A com-
munity rally was held in St.
Andrew's Sunday night.
The 40 -voice chorale,
which is on a two -weeks' tour,
includes a male quartet, male
chorus, girls' ensemble and
girls' trio.
While in Wingham the
chorale divided into two small-
er groups for church services,
one attending St. Andrew's and
the second group at the Baptist
Church. The chorale was well
received in the Baptist Church
as well.

"Physical education is a
phase of total education and
contributes to the general ob-
jective of all education -- the
well-rounded development of
all children and youth as res-
ponsible citizens in our deino-
cratic society. Physical educa-
tion seeks through selected
physical activities and related
experience to assist the indivi-
dual to develop skill, strength,
endurance and character to his
fullest capacity."
Physical education promotes
the healthy growth and physical
fitness of the adolescent pupil
by developing fundamental
physical skills such as walking,
running or jumping and skills
peculiar to individual games
and rhythmics and exercises
promoting good posture. At
this awkward stage, the devel-
oping body requires special
training to enable it to mature
with co-ordination and poise.
The physically fit student is
easily recognized by his gener-
al appearance.
If an interest in physical ac-
tivity is stimulated at this age,
it will carry over into leisure
time. The student who now ac-
tively participates in physical
activities will become an inter-
ested spectator. Today's foot-
ball player in later years will
experience a special thrill
while cheering his favorite
team in action. Various other
sports, such as curling and golf,
provide recreation for young
and old alike. Thus physical
education plays a vital role in
the formation of future interests
which contribute greatly to the
enjoyment of life in later years.
Physical education contri-
butes much to the health of the
school child by increasing the
Win Trophies for Bridge Season
The 1962-63 cup winners of
the Wingham Bridge Club were
decided in a two night play-
off, April 22 and 25. Mrs, D.
C. Nasmith won the ladies
cup, while Bill Laidlaw copped
the men's trophy.
Runners-up were Mrs. R.
Dundas, W, French, Mrs. H.
Crawford, H. Crawford.
There were 13 pairs out for
the closing meeting last Thurs-
knowledge of good health prin-
ciples and developing good per-
sonal habits. Instruction on the
function of the parts of the
body tends to make the student
more aware of the care re-
quired to keep the body in good
condition. The formation of
good personal habits at this
time has a continuing influence
upon the well-being of the in-
dividual.
By far the most valuable as-
set achieved by participating in
physical activity is the mould-
ing of desirable attitudes and
behavior, like sportsmanship,
co-operation and leadership.
Although athletic achievement
instills in the individual a cer-
tain amount of pride in his own
accomplishment, he learns to
accept defeat graciously. By
taking part in team sports he
gains the ability to get along
with others and this is very im-
portant in our world of strife.
Physical education aids in bring-
ing out inherent leadership
qualities. If the student has
any aptitude as a leader, this
quality will make itself ap-
parent in the way his team-
mates react to his influence.
Thus participation in the
physical education program of-
fered by the secondary schools
results in the formation of high
ideals. These should help the
student become a more versa-
tile member of society.
