WW Kingfield TF0th John is quick to admit that he has been a little amiss on his own account. I “I'm not in as good a condition as I have been but I hope to increase my running.” But he still gets his share of running in and he looks healthy to me. John has been “running” most of his life and doing it pretty well. In his junior year at McMaster University he won the Bee Phillips Trophy for being the most outstanding Canadian University Athlete in track combat, he is still holder of the Junior 220-yard low-hurdle record for Canada. And he‘s only 29 years old now. But back to John. “Running is the best all-round conditioner you can get,” he said. “It loses weight for you, exercises your heart, and best of all, it makes you feel good psychologically. There are so many little ways to get and keep in condition. Even deciding to walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator, walking to work instead of driving, it all helps.” KEN HAMILTON HERE John, who lives in Thornhill. taught physical education at Bayview Secondary for four years where two outstanding area track stars, Ken Ham- ilton and Dave Smith. fell under his tutelage. Both Dave and Ken, incidentally, will be par- ticipating in this year’s Rose Bowl races. Ken in particular is going great guns (Mmmh, hard to avoid these cliches when you get my age) at the University of Michigan and Dave, who attends York University. is the Canadian university cross country champion. Assisting John in getting things ready is John McLean, who is chief instructor for the growing York Pioneers Track Club, and Paul Smith. Also, he named the many other persons who contribute money and time to making the annual races a success. And there are quite a number which we won’t go into because there’s always the chance of leaving some deserved person out. But, suffice to say, it looks like another great (Continued on Page 12) Highlight of the afternoon will be the men‘s senior seven and a half mile go but there will be numerous other categories for the youngsters in- cluding the elementary competitions which are get- ting more popular each time out. “Crosbir Heights has had the most success to date in these competitions.” said John. They’ve won the t_rop_hy_ for? the last three years.” This got the talk, properly, around to the rose bowl race. “We expect another fine turnout, lots of comp- etition,” said John. “We‘ve spent some $166 in trophies and I feel we have about the nicest trophies as handed out at any road race.” John was in the office particularly to talk about the upcoming sixth annual Richmond Hill Rose Bowl Road Races April 18. But, naturally. when you talk about running the mind JOHN PASSMOEE tends to zero in on exerâ€" cising and keeping in shape generally. - I immediately put down my pipe, made a mental note not to take it up again for at least an hour, and also to uptake the tempo of my early-morning jogs around my bed. I've been doing these sixâ€" minute exercises for about two years now and 1 want to say that my state of physical condition would put the average 85-year-old to shame. I might even start walking to work. It’s only five minutes walk, after all. This “10-year” food-for- thought came from the lips of John Passmore the other day who is department head in charge of physical education at the fledgling Thornhill Secondary School near Thornhill‘. Said John: “I honestly believe that if everyone jogged for two miles every night as opposed to doing absolutely nothing, they would add 10 years to their life." I don’t know about you but any time I can add 10 years to my life I’m going to come on with a big smile. Makes you quiver all over. You get used to being around. VOL. 91, NO. 41.
