LETTERS Money decision expected soon in Olson case As parents of murdered children, we were appalled when Clifford Olson was allowed to profit from the deaths of our children. We were further horrified when a British Columbia Appeal Court reâ€" turned the money to him after we had successfully fought a long battle to have the money taken from him. The fight to recover the money from Olson has been costly and we sincerely appreciate the support we have received I was saved in a grocery store as I was drawing a blank on a subject to write about this week. A young couple were in the process of packing their groceries as I noticed them. The girl in particular drew my attention. She was thin. Too thin. Her back was rounded, caving in an already small chest. As they left, the cashier mentioned something to the customer ahead of me about how nice it would be to be so thin. (The cashier, by the way, looked fine to me.) The customer, however, to my surprise, though a good deal heavier than her frame warranted, said she disagreed. She thought the girl looked rather unhealthy. This brought to my attention the different concepts people have on the virtues of being thin. I remember being extremely watchful of the bathroom weigh scale during my high school years. I tried to avoid snacks during the day and throughout the evening in order to get my weight at a level with which I could be comfortable. I was never overweight as such, just cautious of extra pounds. And because I wasn‘t exercising regularly, though I was active (aren‘t all teenagers?), my weight bounced up and down with each meal. It wasn‘t until I became involved in fitness did I notice that my body had dissolved much of its fat and replaced it with muscle. In the past 10 years I have gained ten pounds, but have remained relatively the same size with more muscle definition. Even if I had gained 40 pounds, and perhaps exceed the average height/weight chart, I could still be fit. It all depends if the extra weight gained _fFeedback is cay: * er "It‘s fine for highway driving, but in the city it would be more of a hindrance than anything," Jim Morash Waterioo Fitness Forum Kathy Hammond Fitness Instructor is fat or muscle. Because muscle is denser than fat it is heavier. Therefore you can safely exâ€" pect to gain pounds when you increase muscle, if you are already within an acceptable weight range for your build. When you gain more muscle and disâ€" solve some fat your body will stay relatively the same size, so no worry about having to buy a larger size wardâ€" Take, for example, a 105 pound woman and a 150 pound woman of the same frame size. The first woman could be obese and the second fit even if over her recommended weight. If the lighter woman had a higher percentage of body fat, with little muscle bulk, she would be at a higher risk than the heavier woman if she had a low percentage of body fat with lots of muscle. Weight, then, should not be a determining factor in your goal to get in shape (unless you are ridiâ€" culously large). Ratherâ€" than diet and control your weight, you should exercise to dissolve fat and build muscle. This would take away the unrealistic notion many large people have that they should be as thin as the neighbor. Their body frame may not warrant thinness, but it certainly doesn‘t warrant fatness. You can be large and toned an still topple the weigh scales. I know it sounds as if I have repeated myself throughout this column but I feel so strongly that people should concern themselves with their total body fat percentage rather than weight. It should end a lot of frustration on behalf of the large people who do not want to starve themselves in an effort to get in shape. from many across Canada. The people of Waterloo have been extremely generous in their support, and we wish to thank the people in Waterloo who have sent in donations to assist us in our fight for jusâ€" tice. Our appeal to have our case heard by the Supreme Court of Canada was heard by the Supreme Court on June 23 and a decision is expected later this summer. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will hear our case, and if we win, it will set a precedent in that child murderers might never again be allowed to profit from the deaths of their victims. Any further donations to assist us in obtaining justice can be sent to Victims "It can‘t hurt, but I really doubt if it will solve any problems â€" the situation is more complex than that," Should headlights be mandatory in daylight?

When you get to be over 100, you become forgetful and not turn them off â€" or so they tell me," Surely, everyone has heard the sayâ€" ing,** . .. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today." It was written by Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield. He was a brilliant English statesman and man of letters who certainly lived by his own philosophy. He died in 1773 at the age of 79, after one of the busiest careers in history. Apart from being associated with a kneeâ€"length top coat with a velvet collar, and an overstuffed sofa, he is one of the most oftenâ€"quoted men that ever lived. What we hear most often is really the last line of the full quotation, which goes like this: ‘"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination, never put off till tomorâ€" row what you can do today." Behavioral scientists tell us that the worst procrastinators are those that were brought up by permissive parents. Their childhood was spent in doing whatever was pleasing; they never had to make their beds, wash the dishes or the car, take out the garbage, milk the cows or do the laundry. Consequently, as adults, anything unâ€" pleasant that must be done is put off as long as possible. This might explain a good deal of the problem, but I think all of us tend to procrastinate over things we fear, or fear we may fail in doing. Then there are the inexplicable times when you missed a golden opportunity to purchase a bargain, get a job, meet the light of your life, or get "standingâ€"room only"" all because you kept putting it In Lord Chesterfield‘s time, most people had to work from dawn to dusk, six days a week, just to earn enough for the bare necessities of life.

It‘ll mean better visibility of oncoming trafâ€" fic, so it only makes sense," People who look for ways to "pass the time‘"‘ have not learned its value; they don‘t know how to use time to the best advantage. They don‘t know that any time well spent is another paving stone on the road to their future. The time of our lives is the most precious thing we have. We can easily see how we have been using it in the past, by observing what we are today. of their working lives on the job and far too many haven‘t the faintest idea of how to use all that spare time. â€" In fact, our technology is so far ahead of our sociology that we could drastiâ€" cally curtail the time we spend earning a living, if only we knew what to do with ourselves the rest of the time that would not result in our complete demoralizaâ€" tion. . I think you will agree that the best use of time is in some form of meaningful activity, in doing something of benefit to yourself or others, something you have chosen to do; if this should be found in the way you earn your living, fine, but if not, why not put your spare time to this use? (Mr. Fellows is the founder of the Human Resource Development Instiâ€" tute, P.O. Box 642, Cambridge, NIR 5W1) President Garfield foresaw this probâ€" lem. Living in the age of incessant work, he said, "the first fight is to gain leisure time and the second fight is to find out what to do with it."
