Times-Advocate, 1983-03-23, Page 6fresh produce Pogo 6 Times -Advocate, March 23, 1983 By Elaine Townshend One morning a lady walked to her mailbox and heard a weak meow coming from the ditch. She found a cat, about a year old, lying in the grass. The cat's fur was encrusted with blood. Her left front leg was badly mangled. She must have been hit by a car during the night, crawled to the side of the road and somehow clung to life until help arrived. The lady bundled her up in her jacket and took her to a vet. There didn't seem to be any internal injuries, he said. The leg could not be saved, but, with amputation, the animal would probably survive. It might have been logical for the lady to have the cat put to sleep. After all, the cat wasn't her responsibility. Maybe it was her love for animals, or maybe it was the tiny lick the cat gave her hand as it lay on the doctor's table, or maybe it was the cat's stubborn refusal to die, that made her shove logic aside. She decided to pay for the surgery and post-operative care. A few days later she brought home the scraggly grey and white cat with the fur shaved from its Left shoulder and underbelly and an ugly three-inch scar where it's leg should have been. Friends came in, took one look at the creature and ex- cl imed: "What are you do- ing with that thing? It's grotesque! If you wanted a cat, why didn't you buy one of those cute little kittens at the pet shop instead of that freaky thing? It'll never be right" The lady paid no attention. She put an ad in the paper, but the cat was never claimed. That suited both of them just fine. During the first few weeks, that cat was content to he on her blanket in front of the fireplace in the living room. She purred a lot, especially when her new friend was near. Her first attempts at stan- ding were feeble. Her first steps were hesitant and frightening. She took many painful tumbles before she learned how to balance on three legs. But, once she discovered balance, nothing stopped her. When she wasn't exercis- ing, she was grooming herself. Gradually her fur grew and covered the scar. Her coat became soft and shiny. Her movements became less awkward. Running became more fun than walk- ing. Her greatest passion was jumping from the floor to the chair to the mantle and back again, especially when the lady's friends came to visit. Her proudest moment came about a year after the accident. She marched from the fierd behind the house. Her eyes sparkled, her neck arched gracefully and her tail flicked furiously. She dropped a mouse at the lady's feet. Desk.r-cize proves beneficial for many By S. Harman, Clinton Office, Huron County Health Unit Millions of people spend most of their time sit- ting down.Office workers and business executives, in par- ticular, work many long hours seated at desks, or in meetings and conferences. Sales people and commercial drivers put in most of their working days sitting in automobiles. Others, faced with frequent and tedious Tong distance travel, long endless hours sitting in planes and trains. Most occupations today re- quire very little physical ef- fort and offer almost no op- portunity for exercies. In ad- dition, leisure hours are usually spent passively: reading, dining, watching television, and attending the theatre or sporting events. In fact, study indicates that the average adult in North Learn of nutrition Beta Theta Chapter's February 15th meeting was held at the home of Pat Patterson. 'rosemary Schaefer in- troduced guest speaker for the evening, Mrs. Elaine Gnttschall, who gave a very interesting talk on nutrition followed by a question and answer period. Eileen Koss convener of the Daffodil Day Committee an- nounced that it would be held March 25. Following the business meeting the Preceptor Ritual was held for Phyllis Johnson. Rrefreshments were served by the hostess and Rosemary. The meeting March 1 was held at the home of Eileen Ross. She showed a movie, Pulse of Life, concerning Car- diopulmonary Resuscitation. Pat Fletcher then demonstrated how you could save a person from choking. Members realized that by spending as little as eight houra in training we could learn to save a life. Elsie Turkey and Eileen served lunch. March 15 the chapter met at the home of June Essery. Ruth !manse was the guest speaker. She was from Col- ours in London and she told how they go about selecting the proper colour for you. She displayed the colours for Summer. Fall, Winter and Spring. All found it very interesting. Tickets were distributed to the members by Pat Patter- son for the play Annie Get Your Gun April 20. A high chair for the Huron Hope Nursery School had been pur- chased. Dessert was served by Brenda Hennessey and the hostess. 1 America spends 14 of every 16 waking hours sitting down! This is one of the chief reasons why so many of us suffer from frequent fatigue and low fitness levels. Also, long periods of physical inac- tivity not 'only sap your energy but can contribute to the onset of illness and even serious disease. Research show that those in sedentary jobs are more vulnerable to stress disorders, suffer a high in- cidence of coronary heart disease, and experience it earlier in life, than those who are in physically active work. A recent study involving Har- vard University graduates, for example, showed that the incidence of heart attacks amongst those expending over 2,001 calories perweek in exercise was only half as great as for those expending fewer than 500! Prolonged sitting also.con- tributes to creeping obesity - a slow, almost imperceptible gain of excess weight due to lowered calories expenditure. Even small changes in your daily activity pattern, over a long term, can produce .big changes in the figure on your bathroom scales! A stenographer switching from a standard to an electric typewriter reduces daily energy expenditure by about 15 calories per hour. In one year, provided no ad- justments were made in diet or other activities, 5 pounds would be gained.
