The Durharn Squash Club is uwned by Stan Wontor, a directur and owner uf the Markharn Fitness and Racquet Club. Both Mr. Wuntor and Bill L-alante, ,managing directur of' tlhe Narklîarn Club, spoke at the Whitby Rotary ClUb) last week, out- liniing what the squash club hias to offer and what need there is f'or Canadians to be concerned about physical fitness. In 1975, 50 per cent of the deaths in Canada were a direct restilt of heart discase, said Mr. LaPlante, who also puinted out that une of every four Americans is a candidate for a hieart attack. The cause of this situation is thc sedentary life peuple lead today, he said, citing exaple o usngthe. so car instead of walking. Many businessmen are sedentary, flabby, middle aged, with a diet rich in fats and sugar,.he said. They have' high blood pressure, rapid pulse at rest and smoke incessantly. A good nourishing diet and pruper exercise are needed said Mr. LaPlante. Fitness clubs, he said, stress the need for making the heart work properly, and cardio-vascular fitness will be a benefit to the whole communîty. Squash, lie said is a game similar Lu handball which is played in a cernent box, using a raquet instead of the hand to hit a baIl. There are both English and American rnethods, the English nethod using a wider court, a smaller racquet and a softer bail. Lack of exercise is shown by fatigue, tension or pain, shortness of breath, weakness, laziness or apathy, or tremb- ling, said Mr. La?-,lante. He suggested that Ontario Health Minster-Frank Miller should promote exercise and fitness as prcventative medicine instead of closing hospitals.
