News and views Mans acceptance today to right epicurean frills sometimes is brain to his thankfulness of his own existence We marvel at the new automobile innovations we delight at the extra gear on the latest power boats and arc astounded our own abilities to build and manipulate a vehicle of moon flight We insist on speual wax for cosily skis wc invest top grade gasoline for our motorized conveyances dollars every year on furniture polish for expensive V and radio cabinets and tables and only the best oils are used for electrical devices and yet in our great concern for material maintenance we let the most intricate and delicately constructed mobile machine lie building of which is beyond the capabilities of any man go to pot Our own bodies 1 listened with awe recently when a friend of mine who had recuperated from a serious back ailment rcfernej with reverenec to the miracle of the human being Just to think he said that every small nerve and body muscle is under my complete control to be manipulated only under my jurisdiction with only my own mental compulsions responsible for its accomplishments and motivations This man in his thankfulness for recovery was actually telling what life is all about In spite of its of creation no other equipment is generally as badly mishandled by people as the human body We recognize its need for milk give it alcohol wc understand its requirements of continual exercise we set it in front of a television or radio for hours on end we know its need for spiritual growth and food stimulus for thought and wisdom ana give it a diet of crumby literature terrible movies and lack of good digestive material Health and body building manuals have been published for years with stress on exercise stimulating brain processes and abilities with abilities generating new energies which require exercise and so the cycle continues Our bodies are ever unfulfilled units of accomplishments carrying on the endless process of productivity but if not fed nourished properly and kept in top notch functioning condition they will break down like any other piece of equipment Everyone is mourning the cost of automobile operation and yet every Sunday thai looks like spring the roads are lined bumper lo bumper with the latest mode travel Tew of us walk anymore its either a snowmobile a boat a motorcycle or automobile and even horseback riders in their attempted restoration of an outdoor art arc finding it difficult to survive in our motorized society with swooping machines competing and being gobbled up by housing To dare to be a jogger on a country road is like wearing a red flag and in a Canada where outdoor activity could be participated in to a greater degree than anywhere else wrth more scope of space and facilities one almost has to be considered a freak to dare To be an over year old enthusiast actively engaging in any sport is to be cultivating a heart condition or to encourage newspaper writcup In other words instead the usual it is the uncommon and yet flock to the Maple Leaf Gardens to watch a gymnastic display by a team front Amsterdam who include some 70yearold champion It would seem then that to be called a spoiled society would be less realistic than to put it where is and refer to ourselves as a spoiling one So why dont we take the time to appreciate our bodies and remember that they are under our control not controlling us which is the miracle of i all Just to be able to lift our heads raise our arms manipulate our legs walk is a gift fin which we should be grateful To be able to think have the ability to do so and to nourish our minds is a privilege To let such wonderful machines rust I out and become misshapen through indolence is incomprehensible and arc in so doing
