Recreation Commission No. 1 Reports
Health and Physical Fitness Conference‘.

The following is a report
by Regional Recreation Com-
mission No. 1 director, Jack
Alouf, on the recent Health and
Physical Activities Conference
attended by him at Vancouver:

The main theme of the
conference was action,

Going along with this
theme the agenda for the
conference was packed with
action sessions throughout each
day with special workshops
going later for some delegates.
There were a little over 300
delegates and everyone was
well involved.

Main concerns of the
conference were general health
conditions of the average
Canadian with constant refer-
ence to the study that showed
the physical conditions of a
35-year-old Canadian male be-
ing on a par with a 60-year-old
Swede.

Serious concern was ex-
pressed regarding diet and
nutrition. Here it was, stated
that we do not take enough care
over what we eat. In particular,
we eat far too much high
cholesterol foods which is
among major factors leading to
heart disease and heart attacks.

One speaker from the
medical profession, Dr. Sam

Health Minister Dennis Cocke

of recreation in some way, The
fecling of the conference was
that they should all come under
one roof,

Another main area of
concern which was discussed at
great length was the lack of
physical
schools in the primary grades,
It was strongly stated by both
the medical experts present
and physical education experts
that between grades 1 to 6 is
the most crucial time for a
balanced physical fitness pro-
gram for children. While there
are a few schools that do make
this effort, they are minimal,
What is required is an official
physical education program for
primary grades,

Concern was also voiced
regarding the way physical
education is handled at the
junior and senior high school
levels with reference to con-
centration on one or two
particular sports and not

out to get people involved in

everything from a block-walk to
regular sports,

Participation was well're-
ceived by the conference and
almost. unanimously ondorsed
by the delegates,

As a follow-up ‘to the
conference and an effort to get
action underway in our respec-

stated that expenses would be

Closer Look at Home Heating

Have you ever noticed
dark streaks on the walls above
your radiators or other heating
elements? Or a “film” on
windows and mirrors?

Many otherwise sophisti-
cated people believe that much
of this dirt and grease comes
from thelr heating systems, a
notion often fostered by the
claims of rival heating fuels.

To clear the confusion, an

Thero {s no possible way for

“dirt.”

What then causes those
streaks on the walls above the
radiators and other heating
elements? The answer {s that
warm air rises at those points.
This air carries minute part-

that caused some very heated

Fox, Professor of Medicine at
the George V Uni-

past president of the American
College of Cardiology, stated it

men between the ages of 35 to
60 who drop dead from a
sudden heart attack having had
no previous history of heart

He also stated that over
the past several years the

mainly attributed to the in-

The general feeling was
that children are forced or
pressured into the type of
competition that causes too
much mental and emotional
pressures at too early an age, It
was queried regarding minor
sports, whether it was really

concerned with winning or was
it the coach that was secking
