The play is written by Peter Col-
ley who wrote 111 Be Back For You

tival season.
"You'll Get Used To It...The War
Show" is a production of the Gry-
phon Theatre, Barrie. It was origi-
nally produced for the Gryphon's
1984 season and this full-scale revi-
val is presently touring Ontario for
March and April.
The script is both theatrically ex-
citing and historically authentic.
Colley wrote the script based on
recollections of veterans, factory
workers, housewives, and war
brides - the people most effected by.
the war effort.
Without romanticizing combat,
he has managed to effectively con-
vey the moments of levity that
cased the common soldier's burden.
This emphasis on the good times
amidst the bad gives testimony to
the faith and courage of the people
and the times.
Tickets for "You Get Used To
It...The War Show" arc available at

Provided we live long enough% most of us are likely to suffer back-
ache. In fact, sore backs follow the common cold as the most frequent
reason for doctdr visits. Yet much of the suffering due to backache is
avoidable and usually stems from neglect of this crucial, load-bearing
part of our body.
Ordinary backache varies from mild and gradual (due to repetitive
strain) to the sudden excruciating pain brought on by a single acute
stress. Fortunately, even without medical aid, the majority of back pain
improves or is gone within four to eight weeks.
Learning to stand, sit, lift, and bend correctly, plus a few daily exer-
cises to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles, can relieve or
eliminate back pain. Sitting puts more strain on your back than stand-
ing, walking or lying down so a sedentary lifestyle definitely contrib-
utes to backache.
Dispelling some popular misconceptions
* Discs don't slip or "turn to dust", although they may bulge, touch a
nerve, and cause pain.
* Backs don't "go out", but spinal joints, like muscle joints, crack if
over-extended and can be strained in the same way as other joints.
* Backs aren't ultra -sensitive. Although they get a bit wom from dai-
ly wear and tear, they are quite strong. Lifting a 50 -pound weight exerts
a pressure of about 660- pounds at the lumbar spine. If done correctly,
most backs can easily withstand this load!
* Back pain isn't usually due to disease: it hurts but rarely harms.
The normal wear and tear of aging is most to blame for ordinary back
problems.
The chief reason for occupational backache are a mismatch between a
worker's physical ability and a heavy job, and working conditions
which over -tax the spine. Long distance truckers, for example, have
four times as many herniated discs as the general population, owing to
the combination of long periods of sitting and the steady vibration
which stresses the spine. Workers engaged in repetitive lifting and
twisting tasks are also at high risk of backache if they use incorrect lift-
ing and handling techniques.
.Preventive strategies for a healthy back
Exercise is still your best! Keeping your weight down and your mus-
cle tone up can go a long way towards maintaining a pain-free back.
Your regular exercise routine should include exercises to strengthen
your abdominal muscles (which support your back), as well as relax-
ing, stretching, and strengthening exercises. Walking and swimming
are two of the best exercises to help relieve or prevent back pain.
For a healthy, pain free back, keep in mind the following "golden
rules": avoid leaning forward to work or Lift; control your posture and
movements; when sitting, cross your knees to relieve spinal pressure
and choose chairs with a firm back and a seat position that keeps your
thighs above your hips; don't sleep on your stomach and choose a soft
pillow to support your head; don't stand for long periods with both feet
flat on the floor.
Try to elevate one foot, lift objects close to your body, keeping your
back straight and your knees bent (lift with your legs, not with your
back!); never twist when you're lifting and if reaching, don't arch your
back; while driving, try to adjust your scat so that your knees are posi-
tioned higher than your hips.
Practice positive health habits to enjoy a healthy back... you'll be
glad you did!
