Lots of bigger,. things were going on in the "outside" world, demanding our atten- tion and concern. One could say the episode in the ,hospital was a small matter by corn-' parison, 'Yet making people haps is never a small matter. The. nurses ` knew it.

I also realize that .this idea is not original but I have never seen it in-piint before. By'„the way, I am going.to request that this letter be' printed in . _our- , local' paper, and I hope there are others who .agree with me. • • Sincerely, Terry Bauer, Auburn 60 year old, Swede is probably ficy,er than'the average 30 year old Canadian. Another , little talked about comparison is that American on the whole are more fit than Canadians.. Canadians, .were tested on Ar erican Heart Association' standards of cardio -respiratory Janes, arid it was found that 40 percent of men and 47 percent of the women tested had fitness levels which'cotild be classified .as fair or low. Women' generally are less fit than men, with women in the age group 0-29 'rating lowest in that study. As Federal Health Minister Marc Lalonde stated, "The end result of all this shows an er- weight and inactive popul tion. Our labour saving devices, our automobiles, our elevators and -the use of television as a sub- stitute for physical recreation -are contributing factors." • It is horrifying, to think that' 80 percent.. of Canadians are Completely inactive while 50 ' percent of Canadians are• over- weight in addition to being inactive.,A study carried out by Nutrition Canada showed• that overweight people ate the same number of calories daily as people who, maintained their normal weight. The reason some people gain weight''is that they lead inactive" lives and cannot utilize all' the calories theyconsume which eventually. become stored in ' the body as' _fat. Too often in the past we have tended to view health as the tario, from this Branch. absence of disease, butt in . Another area that could use reality health is much more some attention from :the than Ott. A contributing factor Provincial Government is fit - to a pe%.e n''s health is his or peas • in the schools.

Hopefully by that time what. students. will have developed ing good exercise habits which will' stand them in good stead for the rest of their. lives. School administrators ought to be convinced of the values of fitness and 'its contribution to the q rality of life. The Ministry should encourage and support continuing education for teachers responsible for fitness and health programs and also give higher priority in the curriculum to physical fitness ness reduce the functions vascular system, product'ivi'ty', situation. bur Go recognizing ,these fa beginning to investiga its role should be in pro the health of Canadian citi In Ontario, the Provinci Government has set up a Task Force .on Fitness- to fid out what the Ministries sho ld' be doing' to promote individ al fit- ness. The Task Force was set up under the auspices of the Ministry of Health, but there is representation from other Ministries including Education and Community and Social Services, The °Task Force star- e ted its work two weeks ago'and: is expected to make recommen- dations to the Minister of Health, Frank Miller, some time in November. Anrcer Government group', ' concerned with fitness is the Sports and Recreation Bureau, in the Ministry'of Community and Social Services, which is about to, launch an extensive, new snorts project: This Branch is bhe major source of govern- ment support for• services to sport in Ontario. Further grants for, approved recreation programs .>. are ' paid to municipalities throughout On - ,nd .nutrition education. Finally school boards should increase their fitness facilities for students and also ..make these facilities available to the community. The Federal.,Governrnentis! also involved in promoting fit• ness, °s'o`rt- and physical recreation. The budget 'of the - old Fitness and Amateur - Sport Directorate was raised to 17 million this .year, in keeping with the,greater emphasis being - placed on getting Canadians Moving. I' feel that although the Federal and Provincial Govern- ments have their .contributions to make in this area, it is essew tially up to us, as individuals to rl)walk, swim or do anything that will get our hearts "pum- ping a little faster and our lungs working a little harder.
