A bitter debate in Ontario over the professional freedom of doctors has left deep wounds among them and the community at large. The provincial Liberals and NDP combined to pass Bill 94, which prohibits doctors from billing any amount over the government‘s schedule of fees. LETTERS _ In the heat of the debate, the doctors were subjected to some extreme attacks from even "mainstream"‘ journalists. This portrayal of doctors as powerâ€" hungry and greedy was repeated by the Our health care is at crossroads _ This has to be one of the most frustrating times of the year, for men and women alike. Just go to any beach and I‘m sure you‘ll understand. Frusâ€" trating to those who would enjoy the atmosphere of a beach so much more if they‘d feel comfortable walking around in a bathing suit. Frustrating to watch others who obviously feel comfortable in their bikinis. For men, it‘s frustrating to have to deal with the turmoil of not knowing where to look and when. The Some, I‘m sure, would like everyone at the beach to age with them, giving them a sense of security as their own bodies age. The youth at the beach, however, should not be a detriment. They should be instead subtle reminders of how most of us can look. Some with little effort and some with more. Men and women have trouble spots most identifiable at the beach. The female‘s downfall is obviously in the thigh to waist area. Sure we have more fat than men, but think of the possibilities of replacing some of that fat with muscle, giving a toned look, no matter the natural size of the woman. Here‘s the most effective way to tighten droopy behinds: 1). Go down on all fours, hands flat on the floor. Bring one leg up behind, keeping the knee bent. Tuck your rear end tight and reach with your foot and leg up to the ceiling as high as possible. Repeat at least 20 times before switching legs. Keep in mind that this exercise will be a waste of your time if you fail to keep your buttocks as tight as possible. virile young men playing frisbee or football suddenly make others feel that the few inches of fat around the middle are like jelly drooping down. 2). Stay on all fours and bring one leg straight out to the side, knee facing fFeedback ‘"It‘s an issue that is open to consideration, and we should go with what the majority wants â€" personally, I don‘t mind if the stores stay open Sundays." _ _ Fitness Forum Kathy Hammond Fitness Instructor forward, foot and knee at the same height. Bend your knee, tucking your foot into your rear end, then straighten and repeat. Hold each bend and outward position for at least two seconds and repeat at least 15 times each leg. Try to keep most of your support on the arm on the same side as the working leg. Do not bend your elbows low to the ground and keep your knee up high. This exercise is called the fire hydrant for obvious reasons, and really works the thighs and rear end. 3). Here‘s one for the lower abdominâ€" als â€" the area that hangs below a woman‘s belly button and helps curve out a man‘s beer belly. Lie on your back with knees bent and hands under the back of your neck. Try to reach your face up to the ceiling, keeping your lower back tucked into the floor. This can be repeated as quickly as possible to burn fat, or slowly (counting to 10 with each upward motion) to build muscle. As you reach your face up take a quick look down into your stomach and you‘ll easily determine how fast you need to do this one. (For an advance position, lift your legs up to the ceiling raising your rear end before you curl.) * 4). Sidebends are especially effective for men who have their own builtâ€"in inner tube to take to the beach. Reach one arm down to one side raising the other arm over your head. Hold and switch to the other side. This exercise is only effective when you move sideways. Do not bend forward. Stretch your hand down along the outside of your leg to gauge how low you can get. Thirty on each side is a good start. If you want to burn extra fat, grab a partner and a frisbee and go into the water waist depth. Try running through the water. You‘ll feel it. NDP and others in the media. They argue that restrictive, compulsory state mediâ€" cine is needed because: e health care is a basic human right and therefore needs to be extensively state controlled; e state medicine will ensure that the poor and elderly have access to medical care which they otherwise could not afford, and e doctors are already paid too much. The first point ignores the fact that it is precisely the absence of state control that has provided so much wealth for so many in western societies. Never in history have so many ordinary citizens had such good food, clothing and housing provided as in the last few decades, ‘‘We‘ve got six days a week to shop, I don‘t see why people should have to work Sundays." Stan Cameron Kitchener Question asked on King St. in Waterlioo. Do you think there should be Sunday shopping? through the free market, capitalist sysâ€" Our present universal, compulsory system, without user fees or deductibles and with its cost camouflaged by the general tax system, appears to patients as "free". Demand has accordingly skyrocketed and so has the cost. In Canada, the state has responded by cutting back equipment purchases and doctors‘ salaries. Britain‘s health care system has had universal medical insurâ€" ance since 1948 and it has therefore deteriorated farther than Canada‘s. In Britain, 35 per cent of the dialysis centres refuse to treat patients over the age of fiftyâ€"five and a full 45 per cent of them refuse to treat patients over the age of ‘‘Stores should be open â€" a lot of people work through the week and Sundays are the only good time for them to shop." Bonita MacGillivary Kitchener I had an experience the other day which is fairly common and 1 think deserves some comment. A businesswoman phoned to say that she had some ideas that 1 might find profitable and interesting. She had a terrible telephone voice. In fact, she sounded like an offâ€"duty drill sergeant. That, I could have taken, but she would not stop talking. Everytime I tried to suggest an appointment, I was deluged with more verbiage. She startâ€" ed to tell me how she‘d had good ideas in the past and been cheated out of them, on and on she went. Finally, when she was catching her breath, I blurted out that I had to leave and said a quick goodbye. Somehow, I don‘t think she would have behaved that way if we had been faceâ€"toâ€"face, but why would she assume that the telephone gave her the right to monopolize the conversation? I know of another case of a man who owns and operates a very good restauâ€" rant. He‘s a good man, his customers like his food and service, but he has a terrible telephone manner. When you call for a reservation, he gives you the impression that he is sorry you called. Nothing could be further from the truth, but he makes you feel that way without meaning to, and it has hurt his business. And then, of course, there is the person who shouts, so that you have to hold the phone a foot away from your ear. Every time you talk on the telephone, you form in the listener‘s mind, a picture of yourself. It can be great, good, poor, or repulsive. The way people come across on the telephone is becoming a concern in more and more companies as they choose and train their receptionists. One‘s impression of an entire business can be influenced by the sound and manner of the person who takes the WATERLOO CHRONICLE. WEDNESDAY. JULY 30, 1986 â€" PAGE 7 Geoffrey Fellows call Now that telemarketing has come to the fore, some excellent advice is available in preventing you from creatâ€" ing the wrong impression. Here are some: 1. When speaking on the telephone you are creating an image of yourself (and your company) and your voice has to do it all. "I think it‘s more convenient to shop Sundays, Saturdays are madness when shopping." 2. Speak in a normal, wellâ€"modulated voice, as if the listener were three feet away. This includes longâ€"distance calls. 4. Converse as you would if you were faceâ€"toâ€"face. It is as rude to interrupt on the telephone as it is off. And don‘t make the other person interrupt beâ€" cause you won‘t shut up long enough for a response. 3. Put a smile in your voice so that it will sound warm and friendly. This is the mark of a wellâ€"adjusted person. 5. When someone calls you, answer in a cheerful and friendly way, just as you would if the person was at the front door. Make people feel that you are glad they called. It is a sign of maturity. 6. Finally, on business calls, talk no longer than necessary. Show that you value the other person‘s time as you do your own, by coming to the point of the call as quickly as possible. Remember also, that you may have called at a most inappropriate time, so it‘s a good idea to ask if it is convenient to talk now, or call back later. This will be appreciatâ€" Our ability to get along with others is determined to a great degree by our skill in communicating effectively. It‘s a good idea to check on our lines of communication from time to time. How are yours? (Mr. Fellows is the founder of the Human Resource Development Instiâ€" tute, P.O.

It is the poor and the elderly who suffer the most. To ensure the poor get medical care while preserving the freedom of doctors private basic medical insurance should be legalized and available along with state medicare. All qualified graduates should be allowed to practise medicine. Power to regulate the number of practisâ€" ing doctors should be removed from professional associations. _ In other words, we should start to free up the medical market.
