Keeping fit in the new year by Elayne Happy New Year and Good health to all! Start' off this year by learning how to increase your energy level, how to relax, to firm, tone and reduce. The best exercise to do it all? The Shoulder stand! Before describing the technique, become aware of, your body. In a constant fight against gravity, the body eventually begins to sag - abdomen, chest, shoulders, face taking on an aged look. One of the characteristics of an aged person is the desire to sit or lie rather than stand. Youth is devoted by the desire to be up and going, walking, running, climbing, always working. against gravity. By practicing the shoulder stand regularly you are "turning up your nose" at gravity. Due to the up-right position, you are letting the areas of the brain, the spine and the pelvic area receive a good supply of fresh blood. This posture partly affects the thyroid gland, but mainly the gonads, or sex glands, which control the aging processes. The shoulder stand stretches the spine, relieves varicose veins and aching legs, helps to banish premature wrinkles, and keeps the organs and the skin looking youthful. Technique: Lie on the floor on your back, hands by your side, palms down. Exhale, and slowly lift the legs off the floor and by pushing down on the palms of the hands raise the but- tocks and lower back. Grasp yourself around the waist with thumbs in front of the body. This is a_ half shoulder stand. As you learn to balance you will be able to grasp yourself up higher on the rib cage, or tucking your bottom in and stretching your legs up in the air for a full shoulder stand. Breathe normally while holding, and inhale as you slowly lower your back, buttocks and legs to the floor. Hold only a few seconds at first, increasing the length of time as your body sees fit. Give yourself ample op- portunity to feel. Be aware and experience the results before saying no. Should you be under doctor's care, please check with him before beginning. Remember, "aging"' may be the result of multiple deficiency, states, rather than just 'natural' causes. See you next time with an excercise or two for fatty thighs.

Now is 'the time to do something about your personal physical fitness. If your endurance is low, if your muscles are losing their tone, if your waist and hip measurements are in- creasing, if you are over- weight, if you are out of breath after brief exertion - then there are three things you should do. One is to admit to yourself that your fitness level is not as good as it could be. Secondly you should realize that building and main- taining a good degree of fitness is important to you and that you should make it a priority. Thirdly do something about it. The Y offers opportunities for both men and women to get in shape and fitness can be fun when working out with others. Try the men's early morning times, the ladies' morning and_ evening classes, or the noon hour program for men and women. Call the Y now for details. GET FIT!

Snow Shovelling This is the time of year when many people have to shovel off driveways and sidewalks. The common sense way to approach this task is to take it easy. Unless your fitness is excellent, your cardio-vascular system may not be able to adjust to the sudden stress of lifting large shovels full of heavy snow, so work slowly and MSS curlers compete Russ Howard and his rink from Midland Secondary School will compete in Orillia Friday in the district 10B schoolboy playdowns, against schools from Orillia, Bracebridge, Sudbury, Huntsville and Parry Sound. Howard, one of the top young curlers in the province, hopes to take his rink to the provincial finals this season. Curling with him are vice-skip Jim Clark, second Brad Jones, and lead Tim Lamoureaux. rhythmically, filling up only half the shovel each time. Rest frequently. Don't be a cardiac victim this winter!
