Page THE HERALD Wednesday IMS Georgetowns best fan Doubtless this story has been done before and hopefully sometime in the future it will be done again for it loses nothing in the re telling II the story of one of Georgetown a oldest and moat ardent sports fans Myrtle Mrs has been a resident of Georgetown for the past years Originally from Shelbourne she spent five years In Thomhlll before moving to Georgetown Strange as it may seem her enthusiasm for sports did not really begin until she moved into this area Although hockey her favorite sport and the Raiders her favorite team she ad mits that in general she likes moat sporting affairs After talking to Mrs Pattenden we can assure you this la something of an un derstatement In winter she spends about four of five nights a week at the arena rooting or the various town teams When possible she likes to take In games at Maple Leaf Gardens Not restricted solely to hockey in winter Mrs especially last year- attends the occassional professional basketball Her favorite professional hockey teams are the Chicago Cougars of the WHA and the Chicago Black Hawks of the NHL A short time ago she attended a game and spoke afterwards to Georgetown native Jan of the Cougars whom she has known since he was a a wee little guy In Ihe summer months Mrs Is a regular at both town Softball and hardball games Some days If the weather la right she will watch three games a day As her main interest baa been hockey through the years we asked her opinion on the apparent increase of violence in the game today Surprisingly she dldn t feel that It any more violent than In years past She agreed that the style of play had changed somewhat but pointed out that through the years she has seen just as much Tied on now Getting closer to home we asked if she would care to comment on some local stars of the past This she was reluctant to do as aba dldn t want to bruise any feelings she did admit after some gentle prodding that Jan Junior Beaumont Del Beaumont and Don Currle played some memorable games Tor the locals and generated a lot of en for the Una Her Interest however is in be game itself She was an ardent supporter of the Raiders when they won their Ontario crowns but the team it seems she holds dear to her heart was the midget team of several yean ago which similarly won three AllOntario titles As said They hist seemed so small but they kept on winning and we kept cheering them on Mrs Pattenden feels that the current edition of the Raiders although they did get off to a poor start are playing better hockey of late and should continue to improve She credits the return of Keith as the main reason for the Raiders upswing and In the same vein feels that Junior and Bill Curro have played almost as large a part in the Raiders resurgence Mrs does feel however that the appointment of a regular fulltime coach would benefit the team tremendously and bopea it will occur shortly As for the Raiders prospects for Una campaign well she hist keeping her fingers crossed One of the things she delights In while attending hockey games fa raiting the of For the moat part this Is done good naturedly although at times she feels criticism la warranted Most of the officials Just go along with roasting but a few apparently get quite upset Curiously enough it was a certain con certed action by the officials that caused her to mlsa several playoff games When the arrived borne a beautiful chrysanthemum plant with over 30 blooms was delivered The card read from the referees association Regarding sports En general Mrs tenden that It la a healthy thing for It teaches them of mischief The next time you attend a game at the arena and spot a gentle looking lady In a white bonnet and red ski Jacket in the east end seats

without the Ltawrare of the moat modern nation I remember made a being In a jppwtat to remarks I then end now question his tact and sense of diplomacy The clamor concerning our questionable fitness reached new heights several years ago when we were Clod the dubious honor of staging IBM Olympics government Immediately delved Into the vault and began distributing money to various programs which It was hoped would get Canadians Into reasonably good shape for Unfortunately for the majority of Canadians the money was put mainly Into programs whose sole purpose waa to develop world class athletes the people who for the most part are already In relatively good shape The rest of us who bear the brunt of the criticism regarding our physical fitness end who in effect are the statistics la any study done were left out In cold to fend for our selves The government should at least have distributed get fit Idea became official policy No such luck Almost overnight health club sprouted and became the In thhMlraeledietaandheaJthfoodsappearedln GIBSON stores praising physical fitness seeped through the mail that we Join their Sporting goods manufacturers praised the government a stand extolling the virtue of their wares to the detriment of their competitors It reminded me and still does of the statement supposedly attributed to Hitler when he emphatically stated You be happy As it pertains to us perhaps thesUtementsliouldread You will be fit Don git me wrong think every individual owes It to himself to look after his body and keep in relatively good shape but I feel we are going about It the wrong way Very few people can attain the physical fitness level Similarly very For the most part people unaccustomed to strenuous exercise and dieting do themselves more harm than good am and approximately IBB pounds Several year ago for various reasons I ballooned to Believe me this la not good for a person of my height or frame I remember locking disgustingly in the mirror and deciding that one way or another I would lose pounds gave several days but this made me hungry and didnt cause any noticeable weight loss I then went on a diet on ray own and within three wests I had lost pounds I looked better but felt terrible my doctor Informed me that had I continued In my efforts I could have done myself serious harm Iheededhlsadvice Since then I found out and been Informed by various fitness people that a person t have W harm to attain a certain degree of fitness a person have to look like a Greek God or Godden to be fit Its a matter of one a own sense of weilMtng u you like the way you look and can function without fatigue and engage Id some form of physical ac tivity on a regular basis then for all intents and purposes you are in reasonably good shape If you don like the way you look and can t function properly first of all see a doctor He will suggest a nay to either gain or lose weight Once that la done you must tone your body Again a proper and sensible program can be worked Don go into the fitness ad recklessly It truly la amazing what regular eating combined with a regular routine of even minor physical activity can do for you In the long run you must ask yourself Do I like the way I look If not do something about It But not at the expense of your health and your pocketbook
