“Exercise in water is the

Helene Balfour, 26, joined
the YWCA's swim program
for pregnant women when
she was almost seven months
pregnant.

“I really enjoy it,” she said.
“You don’t feel like you are
working hard because you do
things slower and you don't
sweat; but you’ feel great
when it is over.”

The program involves 40
miriutes of prenatal land ex-
ercise followed by 80 minutes
of water exercise.

Dr. Katharine Mirhady,
president of the perinatal
health society, agrees that
swimming is the best
exercise for ‘pregnant
women. But as on land, it is
important not to overdo it.

“In general, women need
good muscles to go through
labor,” said Mirhady.
“Healthy, well-developed
women have better labor and
healthier babies. But preg-
nancy is not the time to start
strenuous exercise. Get fit
before you get pregnant.”

OTTAWA--Two 1G-century Canadian social re-
formers, an Epi Church
preacher and a French-Canadian priest, will be featured
on two new stamps being issued by Canada Post, Sept.

One of the stamps, Sesiened by Toronto artist Toney
Kew, bears a portrait of Josiah Henson, born a slaye in
1789 near Port Tobacco, Maryland, and a symbolic
drawing of the underground railroad that brought him
and other American slaves to freedom in Canada.

The other stamp, designed by Quebec illustrator
Jacques Hamel, features a portrait of Cure Francois-
Xavier Antoine Labelle who worked relentlessly in the
mid- and late nineteenth century to improve the religious
and économic climates in Lower Canada.

~ While still a young boy, Josiah Henson saw his father
being sold and taken away from his family. A short time
later, he himself was sold and separated from his mother.

_ As a seu man, hey was a fervent Christian and was

then he had a family of his own and supervised operations
on his master’s plantation.

Fearing he might be sold and separated from his wife
and children, Henson decided to escape, arriving in
Canada with his family in 1630. He took up the cause of
other escaped slaves, founding a’ settlement and estab-
lishing a school for them near present-day Dresden, Ont.

Author Harriet Beecher Stowe used Henson as her
model for Uncle Tom in her famed novel, Uncle Tom's
Cabin. Henson died in 1888 and was buried near his house
in Dresden.

Labelle entered negotiations with government and
railway officials to initiate rail service between Montreal
and Saint-Jerome. His relentless efforts resulted in the
establishment of train service in 1876.

Three years later he founded the “Societe de la
colonisation” and encouraged Lower Canada colonists to
settle in Manitoba. At the same time, he developed
agricultural techniques, studied mining, and encouraged
cattle raising and dairy farming in his region.

Named Monsignor in 1889, he became known as the
“Roi du nord” — king of the north country, The then
premier of Quebec named him deputy minister for settle-
ment, and he made two trips to Europe to recruit colon-
ists. He died at age 58 following surgery.

Quebec writer Claude-Henri Grignon used’ Cure
Labelle as the model for one of his central characters in
his novel, “Un homme et son peche” — a man and his sin
— which later became a movie of the same title. It also
formed the basis for a drama series on both radio and
television titled “Les belles historires des pays
d’en-haut.” ‘

The-stamp design shows Cure Labelle flanked by a
group of colonists, their cleared land, and the “petit train
du nord,” the train that he helped bring to Laurentian
settlements from Montreal.

to share a mutual distrust.

“‘Around here, people are

MISSES HOME

But homesickness returns
every now and then.

“I saw my father on Spring
Garden Road one day. I
hadn't seen him for a month. I
felt like running up and
hugging and kissing
saying, ‘Hi, Dad.’ But I knew

I couldn't do it.””

Hall and Dogbite like being
different, but in adopting the
uniform of punk they are not

out entirely alone.

Dogbite describes it as
fitting in with the people he
chooses while Hall sees it
largely in terms of fashion.

“To me it's just a look — no
change,’’ she says. ‘‘It'’s nice
to have change and it’s nice to
keep up with the times.”
