Mr. Allison ran in the Boston Marato n Apr1l17 and completed the 26 mile course in his fastest time ever. It -was the tenthyear t hat he hias raced in the Boston event. By Peter Parrott Maple Grave rnay be just a dot on the road map but it was represented last manth in the Boston Marathon by a runner 'from that community. ý'Hugh Allisan was one of 4,674 athietes from around the world who were competitors April 17 in the classic long distance race. He finished the grueling 26 miles in his fastest time ever -- a time of two hours, 38 minutes and fifteen seconds. He completed the course in 403rd place. To get some idea of how fast marathon runners can travel, Hugh Allison explained that anything under three hours is the qualifying time for runners who wish ta take part in the Baston Marathon. With a time of three hours, a runner must travel the 26 mile distance at a pace of ane mile every seven minutes. It was a cool and drizzly day when Hugh Allison ran the Boston Marathon last April 17. The race is always held the third Monday in April, Allisan explained in an interview with ihe- Statesman recently. Milion Spectators About a million spectators cheered the athietes from the $idelines and their encourage- ment is an important part of the race, he explaied. "They give youa verygaad incentive as you run along, " Mr'. Allison said. 'And despite ahl of, the training and physical stamina a marathon runner needs, he described the race as an event which depends 75 ta 80 per cent on mental attitude. At the end of the run, Mr. Allisan had a haîf-hour rest on a cot, took a shower and ate a lettuce and tomata sandwich. "I was a little wiped out, because it was my fastest marathon ever," he explained. It. was also lis tenth attempt at the event.. However, wiÎthin a few days tof the race, he had run 17 miles and the day fallowing the marathon, lie had a "light" six-mile workout. Vegetarian 1 There was no traditional bowl of beef stew for Mr. Allison at the end of the Boston Marathon. The Maple Grave runner who lives with his wife and family on a farm at R.R. 6, Bawmanville, explaîned that he lias been a strict ivegetarian, since 1964. He icredits his diet plus scientîfic training for much of his success at long-distance running. "I've found it has helped me a lot.. my whole, being feels better," Mr. Allison said. r His food includes lots of lettuce, greens, peppers, Skate boards!

"I wouldn't recommend it ta evenyone because everyone's body clemistry is different," lie explained. However, le suggested tînt ahi of us can lend lenîthien ives by being more careful about diet. -Higli Performance "If you wene diving a higli performance car, wauld you puýt ow-grade fuel in it?",lie asked, He added tînt some people may actunlly be kinden towards their cars tlian their bodies.

Donna Kyte, introduced Sergeant Ken Hudson, a former student at Cartwright High Sclool, now raising lis own family soutl of Nestleton. Ken Hudson joined the Oshawa Police Force in 1969 and in 1973 was named 'Policeman of the year.' He has worked as Detective in Criminal Investagation witl the Youtl Bureau. The Youtl Bureau deals with children ages 7 tlrough 15. During 1977 the six officers in tînt department answered 5,472 calîs of which 414 went ta court. The Juveile Court is not a means of punishment, but ratIer for the purpose'of Correctional Guidance. Most of the crimes of youth concern shoplifting. The first and foremost concern of the p~oliceman is 'Why did it happen?' He must examine the attitude of the child and his parents. The lst. offense involves a caution at the time of a 3rd. offense the child will atten be put on probation or if tao many canflicts are accuring at home, a 'graup home' may be the answer. For the persistent youth offender the last resart of correction is the Oakville Assessment Centre, but this action is very rare. Wlere is aur socîety gaing wrong and how can thé crime trend be stopped? Wlen Sergeant Hudson was asked about his views'on television hie explained how 411 answers on T.V. are instant. Children and aduits learn to expect answers to problems instantly s0 in the real world they become frustrate d with problems tley can't'face. In some cases the wrongly directed child may have a home life witlout the benefit of guidance in 'rigît and wrong'. In other homes and family is too busy obtaining the high standard of living tley have closen and the child is emotionally neghected. Wlat can a parent watch for ta prevent their child fromn turning ta crime? Sergeant Hudson warned everyone not ta carry out a wîtch hunt, but ta be aware of the signs and alert because crime is everywhere. A parent can keep an eye on unexplained articles and watcl for a change in friends or attitude. Don 't b a Dal. but be a loving caring, parent that has time ta listen ta wliat is important ta ¶,rnlr -thild Sharon Essery thanked Sergeant Ken Hudson for talking at the meeting. Sergeant Hudson invited everyone ta browse through the supply of pamphlets displayed a t the front. The secretaries* report was rend and treasurer's report pnssed around while a few items of business were discussed. Beth Scliryburt announced that 'Welcome ta Blnckstock' folders are now available.
