LETTERS A big lesson for Ontario PCs The Ontario PCs should learn an important lesson from the recent Liberal landslide. Last January we wrote to more than 15,000 voters in Ontario and predicted the lesson they would be taught: ‘"Why vote for a Red Tory," we asked rhetorically, ‘"when you can get the real thing with the Liberalâ€"socialist alliance"? Tory leader Larry Grossman virtually guaranteed the collapse of his party when he opted to mimic many of the Liberal and NDP‘s interventionist policies. This is his record: e Grossman strongly supported the staâ€" The next few columns 1‘d like to dedicate to the men. Being a woman, l tend to write about fitness more in the light of women‘s issues, yet as a woman I do like to admire the many different shapes and sizes our male counterparts exhibit. In general we see the stocky men, the thin men, the pear shaped men (the shape speaks for itself I‘m afraid), the men who are a great mixture of any of the above, and the perfect men. The latter know who they are. This first column is designed for the stocky man. If this shape, you were originally blessed with a good set of shoulders, an expansive rib cage, and a strong wideâ€"set bone structure in the hips. Fully muscled and trimmed down to your normal weight, you would still have a relatively thick waist, but it would all add up to a powerful, admiraâ€" ble physique. You may or may not be short and may carry 30 to 40 more pounds than a fellow of the same height but slighter bone structure. You have outstanding potenâ€" tial for performing strenuous exercise with less effort than your smaller or taller counterparts. However, and isn‘t there always a however, you are in constant danger of ballooning way out of shape. Your frame is an open invitation to an added five pounds a year. Doesn‘t sound too bad. Just think about 10 years later. Ouch! If you are thinking about beginning an exercise program to avoid the 50â€"pound buildup, or if you already in a program and controlling your shape just fine, there. are several things you must do or are already doing.

Hawthorne of Westvale Recently, I heard of the death of an old friend of mine and it got me to thinking about life, and his in particular. Let me tell you a little bit about Larry. He was one of the most successful people in the world and one of the most fortunate. He had a considerable circle of friends and relatives, but outside of that, nobody ever heard of him. He never made very much money; although he was good at his job, I believe he regarded it simply as the means which enabled him to do the things he wanted to do. He didn‘t go to college, although he saw to it that his kids did. I remember reading about a king who said: "I have now reigned above 50 years in victory and peace, beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call; nor does any earthly blessing appear to be wanting for my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot; they amount to 14!" But, as I said â€" he was one of the most successful men in the world. He was a happy, laughing man, married to a happy, laughing woman. He didn‘t have a mean, contrary or envious bone in his body. He just enjoyed living. That‘s why 1 said that Larry was one of the most successful people in the world. As far as I know, as long as I knew him, he was happy just about every day of his life. This was because he seemed to know, intuitively, where real happiness is to be found. He found happiness just being with his wife, talking and laughing with her; he found happiness in his garden; he found happiness tearing out the insides of his house and doing it over, the way ‘‘*No, all the polls were hinting that they‘d win.

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 23. 1987 â€" PAGE 1 he wanted it; he found happiness in his children, and playing with his funny mongre! dog; he found happiness in buying a new car every two years, and then looking after it. In trying to figure out why he was such a happy and successful person, 1 believe it was because he was always looking forward to something; he was always planning and excited about something. He had a wonderful, youthful zest for living. He found it at work and at home, because that was the kind of person he was. That‘s why 1 said he was so fortunate, and why we that knew him were fortunate, to6. Now, there might be some who would say that Larry lacked ambition, that he didn‘t strive hard enough to make a mark for himself in this world, that there must be more to life than just being happy and that it is no criterion for success. I suppose, according to their standards, they are right. If we were all like Larry, we would never have made a Moon landing or have any Nobel prize winners, but we don‘t all have the ability to achieve greatness Ergerson wrote: ‘"Selfâ€"trust is the secret of success, the belief that if you are here, the authorities of the universe put you here, and for cause." Our job, then, is to play out the role we have undertaken to the best of outr ability. Success is nothing more nor less than this. Larry knew his limitations but was successful nonetheless in living a full and happy life. (Mr. Fellows operates the Human Resource Development Institute.
