RKS Et ees THERE WAS a time when debt was a criminal offence and he who could not meet his creditors was thrown into prison, An enlightened legislation rescinded the old law and re- spectable society took over, branding the debtor in its own way. To be in debt or be- coming bankrupt was a scan- dal and a social offence. Today, living beyond one's Means, in fact, in debt, has become a way of life and, according to Melville Cox, president of the Association of Credit Bureaus of Canada, the average working Canadian adult owes $1200, not includ- ing mortgages. Mr. Cox says that the aver- age time taken to pay bills on the usual 30-day cycle has increased 38 to 48 days. "It means that the little man is cutting into his next pay period. Freely available credit is creating 'the new poor' in Canada. Credit compensates for pay-cheque deductions rep- resenting taxes and for the municipal tax payments. Every social agency is run- ning into the problem of peo- ple over - extending them- selves financially," The free - spending splurge is not confined to individuals. Its mania is magnified by groups. Just consider the com- mitments that Oshawa City Council has made for the tax- payers in recent weeks: Bus terminal, $1,668,000; Vocation- at School, $2,895,000; Little _ Buckaroo Ranch (city's por- tion of the cost) $51,775; Drop- In Centre, $275,000; deficits on the Children's Arena and North Oshawa Arena (over the past five years) $200,000; increase in the Health Depart- ment Budget, $34,000 and probably others. I'm not taken in by talk of government grants. They come from the tax-payers' ockets too. No wonder, as r, Cox says, we're all in debt. HOME WITH his parents to rest a sprained ankle is Don Jackson and his pretty wife, Joanne. Joanne who was also a member of the Ice Follies, has given up skating since their marriage, hoping some day to have a family, and his undertaken Don's secretarial work. She handles his public relations and maintains his contacts in Europe. Right now she is addressing their Christ- mas cards. (Don must have @ sprained wrist, too). Most brides are eager to furnish an apartment and become model housewives. Jo- anne is perfectly happy to live in a suitcase and travel across the continent. "It's really quite simple" she says. "We have two large travelling trunks for our per- Woman Tackles Two Unusual Jobs For Grey Cup OTTAWA (CP) -- Mrs. Jack Arthur of Toronto {s one of the busiest, friendliest people in- volved in Grey Cup activities here. A mixture of frankness and enthusiasm, slim, attractive Midge has an unusual job. She is both official hostess--a kind of house mother to the nine Miss Grey Cup contestants--and chief judge. She is a confidante of both chaperones and _ contestants, providing pins, advice or sym- pathy at a moment's notice. Part den mother, part mother confessor, she sees that the girls arrive at functions on time wearing the proper clothes. Although she's a judge whose opinion is worth 20 per cent of the final decision, this does not stop the girls from coming to her with their problems, she Says. Headaches during her first two days in Ottawa included helping to locate Miss Winnipeg Blue.

I can pack in an hour, We spend two weeks in each city we visit, so there's time to keep clothes organized. We have a good arrangement for chang- es in climate, too. Don's par- ents bring winter clothes to Detroit and we pick up sum- mer clothes at Phoenix where my parents live." The couple are not travel- ling all year. They spend three months every summer in San Francisco, the Ice Follies home base, and there an apartment is held for them in a district they love, across the Golden Gate. During this spell Joanne likes to try some fancy cooking. The show opens in Los An- geles then moves to Long Beach, California; Phoenix, Arizona; Denver. Colorado; Chicago and Detroit. Christ- mas Day, the Don Jacksons will be in Philadelphia; back in, Toronto in January then flashing across the country to wind up the season in Van- couver in May. THIS SEASON'S Ice Follies has a new roster of stars, except for Don, with different styles and routines. Joanne described the injured ankle as "one of the hazards of the trade."' This has happened four times on the same jump pre- sumably because the ice was too hard and chipped when Don landed on the toe of his skate. Both Don and Joanne love the professional life. In six years Don has learned how to bring the art of showman- ship to the performance of the World's Champion Fig- ure Skater. Three years ago he was ill with hepatitis and it has taken him a long time to regain full health, "He's fine now," says his wife," and we are_ looking forward to the Toronto book- ing because the audience is always so knowledgeable. It's something like Berlin. There 4they know when a skater has achieved something very dif- ficult. In most places they applaud the showy bits which may not be nearly so de- manding, yet the audience doesn't know the difference." This happens in ballet, too, Joanne. I KNOW A FEW, just a few, grandmothers who can do a "'sea-sick roll" and a tour jete, but I know of only one padre who wears the high belt for Judo. A member of the Maple Leaf Judo Club, the Reverend Alfred Woolcock was recently promoted to the order of the Green Belt for the dexterity of his "chop" on the mat. White is the first order and black the highest. In between are _ yellow, orange, green, blue, and brown. A former wrestler and foot- baller, the padre believes that organized physical activity is the antidote to today's stress, strain and hyper-tension. He proves it.

None at all says Get Fit -- Keep Fit, a national health and welfare booklet. Research has shown that the average woman would have to be shaken for 500 hours to lose one pound of fat. There is no mechanical way that fat can be pounded, slapped, or shaken to redistribute it or to lose it. If the body takes in food and it is not used in the function of the body, then it is stored as fat. The fat is mobilized chemically from the storage depots as it is needed for muscular work. recently to celebrate the success-jtions and to Dale Pollard and ful completion of a baby-sitters|Kathleen O'Halloran for scrap- training program which was/|books. conducted at the "'Y' sponsored!
