“Do Yourself a Favor - Keep Physically Fit,

This is Fitness Week in’ the Castlegar

district. Jointly sponsored by Recreation *

Commission No. 1 and the local branch of the Canadian Heart Foundation, the special week is designed to bring to public attention the need

‘for citizens of all ages to improve their health by keeping physically fit... i

- we reported in this space, last November, Canadians are among the world’s most sedentary people. The average 30-year-old Canadian male is only as fit as the’ average

60-year-old Swede. while recent’ tests ‘in Saskatchewan’ show. that ai frightening 40 per

cent of men and 47: per cent of women fall into. ~

the low-t ge range of the Heart )y Association fitness, standards. +. Selkirk, College recently published figures ‘ that disclosed that: among the top 25 of the world’s developed nations, Canada ranked a low 28rd in general citizen health. The U.S.S.R. was 22nd and the United States was 24th. At the top was ‘Sweden’ while Norway was Sth, England + was 6th, ‘Holland ranked 10th, Italy 16th’and Portugal ‘was in-20th place, he Heart Foundation and the Recreation Commission ‘are sponsoring two testing and information stations this week. Both will be held ‘at SHSS ‘with’ the first one taking place this ‘evening from'7 to 10 p.m. and the second ‘on Saturday afternoon from 1 to § p.m. Dr. John Walton is in charge of the'testing stations and while it may not be possible to test everyone

‘who attends, Recreation Commission director ,

Jack Alouf says that just as important as the

testing will be the information. that: will “be. ‘- available on diet control, weight control, various

- fitness programs for a variety of conditions, and

information ‘on how you can take better care of your heart.

Physical fitness has... been promoted

strongly throughout our area during this month

of February, which’ has. been’ designated as -

Heart Month by Castlegar city council. The Castlegar Senior Citizens Association has been holding regular physical fines training for its nb Commission has sponsored bath men's‘-and ladies’ keep-fit classes, and instructor’ from the commission’ have _ been conducting weekly. classes at both Raspberry Lodge and the adult workshop of’ ‘the’ Kootenay | Sodlety’ for Handicapped Children. The value of walking as a means of keeping fit has been by medical people during: the ‘past couple ‘of years and supporters of ‘the Heart Foundation will’ be. practicing what ‘they preach: this weekend as they canvass from door-to-door on Heart (Sunday. ' They'll be walking, and: we suggest those attending the testing stations at

~. SHSS \ tonight «and |: Saturday also consider

walking to:the school.

Premier Dave Barrett attended a ‘similar «

testing'station in Victoria last Friday and gave physical fitness some much needed publicity as press h an focused in ‘on: him, as he’ took ne ‘teats: x % Ily;. many. will, recall “the © picture ‘of 70-year-old Mrs. Annet Carlson that appeared on one‘of our sports pages’ last week.

Foulkes Report

on B.C. Health.

Needs a Blueprint for Chaos?

Serious concerns about the Foulkes Report. on Health Needs in British Columbia have been expressed by the Ross- land-Trail Social Credit Associ- ation,

At a recent executive meeting held at Montrose, the Socreds called the report a “revolutionary document." They say it makes no attempt to recommend ‘rational changes to present practices, bul instead “is ‘a blueprint for, chaos.”

B.C. citizens, claim the local Socreds, are not willing to pul their present — medical services at risk, are not willing to surrender their freedom of choice, and are nol prepared to submit themselves Lo state- managed clinics with state-paid doctors reimbursed for their services according to a head- count of patients.

What the recommendation for salaried doctors - really means, claims riding associ- ation president. George Mac- Andrew, “is hat medical care is

going. to, be: delivered on ‘a super-market basis’ with only ‘one brand on the shelf."

He sald the Socreds give support. to some of the recommendations in the report, “but the general philosophy is that of compulsion and state- control and as such most of the report {s unacceptable to a political party such as ours that is concerned with’ individual liberty and individual initia- tive”

The admission by Dr: Foulkes in his report that “the philosophy of the report is in accordance with the NDP's election :platform": brings. the entire ‘report. into disrepute, conclude the Socreds,

“This is a glaring admis- sion that Foulkes made’ no

unbinsed survey of the health -

care needs of the people of this. province, but instead "spent

500,000 of the taxpayers’ money to arrive at recommen: dations already decided upon sume years ago.”
