"As useless as yesterday’s
^fewspaper" is a pretty common
Impression.
It's also a pretty irroncous ex
pression. There are a lot of things
I can think of that are more useless
than an old newspaper.
Justconsidcr, if you will, all the
things that old newspapers are
used for.
After a successful hunting or
fishing trip what contains the
"leftover" fish parts? Newspaper,
of course.
What catchs grease
spills..you'vj got it...newspaper
What keeps the oven cleaner
from eating up the kitchen vine I
...or keeps the cooking oil from
running everywhere when it's
^noured up.
What is used to create tost nines
’'or impromptu patten
Ncwpsapcrs! of course.
What goes down on the l h »oi to j
protect things when a quick pum
job needs to be done., or can iv j

small as a recipe box or as large as I
an entire vehicle...your old, used i
newspapers, of course.
What .goes, as the old lie he j

Need to move, what goes j

There arc a world oI other uses, j
too, for "yesterday's news'
Some arc rather unusual. |
Shredd newspapers in a trench

Shredded and treated they are a j

Walking For
Fitness...Not A Fad.
By Nanalee Nichols
Physical fitness, healthy eating,
overall well-being...the phrases arc
m front of us all, from infants to the
aged. And although no one exercise
or diet is perfect for everyone one
thing comes close...walking!
This is an age of physical fitness
fetishes. The quest for muscle tone
and youthful ness has become a
multi million dollar industry. Video
tapes prescribing exercise programs
for the elderly, for babies (no, it's
not a joke) and for expectant moth-
ers as well as run-of-the-mill exer-
cise programs abound.
Almost everyone has invested in
,i stationary bicycle, a weight set,
logging outfit or some other item to
help them become slimmer, trim-
mer and healthier.
But being an impatient species,
most people ignor the dire warnings
and overdo, leading to pain, sore-
ness and even permanent injury as a
result of ovcrzcalous attempts to
get lit fast.
But walking requires almost no
investment, no video tapes and no
special equipment.
f rom a toddler to great-grand-
mother,walking is ncar-pcrfcct.
While jogging places stress on
joints, weight lifting certainly isn't
f or everyone, and cxcrciscclubs arc
expensive, walking is available to
just about everyone who can pul
one foot in front Of the other.
Walking helps release a chemi-
cal in the brain that serves as a
natural tranquilizer, serving to cre-
ate a feeling of well-being.
Walking serves to lower blood
pressure and heart rate, and builds
muscles.
Where to walk? Well, options
vary according to the environment.
In the city there arc usually walking
tracks available, or walking and
running paths in parks. In the coun-
try any farm to market road will do,
as long as an eye is turned to watch
for traffic.
Even small towns boast places to
walk, constructing simple gravel
Like any exercise, walking should
be worked into. Short walks that
gradually lengthen arc much better
than beginning with a 5 mile hike that
results in sore leg muscles. But even
if soreness results, it's rare to ever do
any damage, which makes it superior
to jogging or running.
Naturally, walking doesn't bum up
the enormous amount of calorics that
running docs. Butas an overall health
promoter, it simply can't be beat!
Not enough exercise? Just work
walking into the regular program. It
keeps muscles limber and can con-
tribute significantly to an overall
healthy program.,
Aside from comfortable walking
shoes, no equipment is required for
the pedestrian mode of physical fit-
ness. Comfortable "sweats" arc avail-
able though, as well as a range of
specialized shoes ranging from $15
to $200!
Weather really needn't keep a
dedicated walker in. Rain gear and
warm clothing lakes care of inclem-
ent conditions. In summer there is
little danger of becoing too hot, a
major advantage over other forms of
exercise.
Walking is custom tailored. Want
a leisurely relaxing iimc?Walk
slowly, taking time to look around at
the world.
Want to work up a sweat? Set out
at a brisk pace and keep it up.
All in all this a period of physical
fitness mania. But long after the exer-
cise machines have become covered
with dust, long after the hcafth foods
have become unpalalible, the habit of
taking a walk for mental andphysical
well being will remain. It's a habit
that can last a life time...and extend
that lifetime too!
