at Central United Church ore than 200 people attended Dr Powell defined agin as the progressive change ich takes place in cell tissue or organism over given time Age then is part of growth development and deterioration for one must study the whole cycle Conversely youth IS not time of life it is state of mind test of will quality of ima ination Vigor of emot ons Studies show old age IS physiolo cal fact state of mind fected by body struc ture function regular exer cise minimal diet related to climate altitude disease and genetics HAVE BEARING All these things have bearing on longevity Dr Powell said Except for disease all parts of the organism become old in relation to each other Therefore it is no good to say used to be fit Today is important for tomorrow For centuries athletes were thought to live lon er than less active people Stu ids show the raults favorable to the athletic group with respect to tuber culosis but not to heartrelated deaths But then women live longer than men and are generally less active This was an observation which puzzled early in vestigators who were not aware of the greater proneness of the male sex to develop degenerative cardiovascular changes Dr Powell related further studies which in early years only baffled researchers who looked for common factors among longliving people OXYGEN The result physical activity related to maximal oxygen in take and minimal diet were surefire pluses Groups of people such as far mers skiers lived longer Likewise with those living in mountainous areas Other fac tors such as heredity and secual activity were also investi ated Dr Powell relate the amazing life spans of men who lived to as old as 153 There was Thomas Parr who died at 153 in the middle ages According to William Harvey the dloctor wth discovered the circ atio waslln sudh gooyggndi lontiiidd man of 153 that the cartilages of the chest bones were not yet ossified Smoking and coffee drinking bad for health An excessive smoker John Ross died at 104 in 1896 The widow Lazannec died also at 104 and had smoked pipe since her outh Then there was Eliza th Durieux who lived 114 years and lived on coffee almost 40 cups day ITS INSIDE The real reason for longevity must lie in some peculiarity of the internal con stitution of our organs Dr Powell said Dr Powell said although we eat too much and exercise too little quantity is not as im portant as quality Is it length of life that mat ters or the usefullness one can pack into the days and nights of the life one has No one grows old by merely living number of years People grow old by losing pur pose and deserting longheld ideals Mr Stoner introduced Dr Powell Alex Cockburn thanked him Jean Dobson introduced soloist Jane Black and pianist Helen Smethurst 6The Barrie Examiner Saturday October
