Information from the Canadian Heart Fund reveals ,some pretty distressing news about you and your heart. Heart - ] disease and related diseases kill about 77,000 Canadians each year, more than 'the number of deaths from all other causes combined. of deaths from all other causes combined. February is also the month of the Winter Olympics. The performance of the Canadian athetes is preity distressing as well. Canada won but a single medal, and in the overall point standing "placed far.down the list of competing countries. - Medical science indicates that the risk of heart attack or heart disease in persons of all ages is increased greatly by the following factors: obesity, lack of regular exercise, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholestoral levels in the blood. Ronald W.Richards, manager of Canada's ski-jumping team says soft living is the reason for Canada's poorest showing ever in the winter Olympics." It's bred into us in Canada," said Richards. "It their mothers didn't put food on the table, most Canadian kids wouldn't eat." The man is right. Let's not kid ourselves anymore. Canadians have become flabby and soft. Surely, one can see that there must be some connection between the alarming number of persons (2,500,000) with heart disorders, and the weak showing of our athletes at the Winter Olympics. Part of the cause for both'is a result of the general life-style we are leading. Anybody, even the most superbly trained athlete is susceptible to heart disease. And many sufferers are born with a heart disorder. What can you, the average Canadian do to help control heart disease, and reduce your own risk of a heart attack? Firstly, support your local Heart Fund. Give as much as you can when a canvasser comes to your door. Funds are used to provide treatment facilities for those already afflicted and for medical research that may cure some diseases of the heart and prevent others. Secondly, see your doctor. Find out if you have a heart condition. And you can also take a good look at yourself. Get off your hands, get some regular exercise, cut down on the "garbage" foods, and those foods high in satuarated fats and cholestrol content. If you're a heavy smoker, quit. - Mr. Dan Corby isChairman this year for the Port Perry and District Heart Fund.Canvassing will be done by the high school students who will cover communities in the surrounding area as well 'as Port Perry. They'll be knocking on doors from February 14th to the 19th. The objective this year is $1200. apt : Good health is the greatest asset youll 'ever own. Think about this 'when you read about our winter athletes. And think about it when you're asked to contribute to the Heart Fund.

Not for myself. Oh, no.Once bitten . .. But 1 was asked to write a ceremony for a mock wedding to take place at a bridal shower recently. I used some stock gags. "Marriage is a solemn_institution, and is only to be entered into if you wish to spend the rest of your life in an institution." And "Do you take this woman to be : your awful wedded wife?' And conclusion , from a "bishop" who has his services confused. "And may God have mercy upon your souls." Stuff like that." The weekend was pretty obviously a confrontation thing, where the parents and the boyfriend are exposed to one another, with the potential bride sitting by, darting wildly nervous glances at both parties.Let's listen in for a moment as panicky thoughts scoot through her mind. (Oh, why did Don have to say that? Mom'll think he's subborn and stupid just because he didn't agree with her. Oh, no, he made another grammar error! Sure enough, Dad pounced on that. Oh, please Mom don't go into that three hour story about how you and Dad lived on 60 dollars a month when you were married. Oh, lordy, why isDad asking him all those questions about how much a sculptor makes, how many sculptures he's sold, and how he's going to support us? Oh, dear, I wish I'd never mentioned it.) Actually, it wasn't like that at all. In fact, I took the whole thing very lightly, as who wouldn't whose daughter has been engaged three times within a year. The only thing 'that floored me was that Kim said this fellow wanted to ask my permission to marry her. This seemed so old-worldly in this day and age that I immediately became suspicious, as ... (Uh-huh. Wants my permission, eh? Let's see. Permission means approval. Approval "means it's going to cost me a lot of money, one way or another. And so on.) However, as I said, I took it all rather off-handedly until I went downstairs Sunday morning,and found my wife and daughter arguing about the wedding: how many )PICE guests, who they were to be, what she'd wear, where the reception would be, and all that jazz. ~ "What wedding?", I roared into the maelstrom. At least it stopped them long enough so that they could re-group forces and attack me. I-discovered that I was an---- old fud, a fuss-pot, an obstacle in the course of true love, a cynic, a materialist, and a few other things such as a miser, a hypocrite ("You and Mom didn't have a nickel when you got married"), and a misanthrope. I cheerfully agreed to all charges, which took the steam out of their attack. 'Sent the kids off with a flea in their ear, and half ourSunday roast. The flea will buzz * unheeded, and the roast will be scoffed with gusto. That's life. Would it were as simple for everybody as it is for the chap who ran the following advertisement in the "personal"' column of the city paper recently: : PROFESSOR of surgery and head of surgical research of a North American university, widower, age 60, financially very comfortable, brilliant, very good looking, in excellent health, active in sports, with broad interest in the humanities, arts and music, wishes to meet an elegant lady of Jewish faith, age 40 to 50, good looking, intelligent, and . independently wealthy. Object -- matrimony. . The rest of the ad dealt with the mechanics. The ladies were to send photograph and all details. If they shaped up, a meeting would be arranged selectively by telephone. If they didn't they would get their junk back. Well, I can't help but admire the man for. laying it on the line, even though he is obviously an arrogant boor. He'll get so many letters he'll never have time to get married. % Nor could I help composing in my mind a similar advert extolling my own virtues for Leap Year ladies.It ran to only twelve words. As a party game, try making up your own marriage advertisement. You might be surprised at how much you have to offer to that vale of tears and laughter. Marriage is a solemn institution.
