adjust you distance and
pace accordingly next time.
Take a few minutes each
day lnd improve your
present condition by in
creasing your speed and
distance.
A minimum walk of 20 - 30
minutes every day at a brisk
pace would be a good goal to
aim for. Before walking,
remember your “warm - up”
exercises -a few slow,
gently, stretching
movements. When walking,
relax, take comfortable
strides, let your arms swing
naturally and breathe
deeply. Keep you head erect
and back straight - good
posture is always im
portant!
Land on the heel of the
foot and roll forward off the
toes - pointing them straight
ahead. Loose, comfortable
clothing is suggested.
Remember that your body
will warm - up during the
walk so dress appropriately.
Select shoes with good arch
supports and elevated heels
(approximately % inch
high). The heel of the shoe
.should provide a good
cushion to absorb the shock
of landing on it. Jogging and
running shoes are excellent
walking shoes. Even a short
walk at a moderate pace
will cause the heart to beat
faster and improve your
breathing and circulation.
The health benefits of
walking are many!

tacular
Postal Consumer Protection Week
MAIL FRAUD
Medical promotions that
promise some new hope but
which often endanger the
health of the buyer are still a
major concern to the Postal
Service, according to
Postmaster James M. Bond.
“Buyers need to be
especially careful,” he said,
“because postal inspectors
and Postal Service at
torneys find many
promoters quickly change
their address and the names
of their products to cir
cumvent the law.” The
postmaster made the an
nouncement in connection,
with POSTAL CONSUMER
PROTECTION WEEK,
April 25 - May 1.
Bond cited the case of a
company using the mails to
make false representations
about a number of its
products.
Athena Products, Ltd.,
was recently banned from
using the mails to sell 15 of
its so-called health products
nationwide, according to the
postmaster. The Georgia
based company used its own
publications - Soma
Magazine and Athena
Health and Beauty News to
. advertise w nrtfufitp
claimed could cure «*r
i prevent - diseases or" con
ditions that were often age
related. They included

imbalance, impotency,
forgetfulness, insomnia,
wrinkles, and senility.
“Because of rising costs of
medical attention, and
possible unsuccessful at
tempts to reduce suffering,”
Postmaster Bond said, “the
elderly are very often the
prime victims of these
schemes.”
He said the promoters’
ease in moving from town to
town and state to state, then
changing product names

claims in their promotional

pitch) makes it doubly
difficult for the Postal
Service to put them out of
business permanently.
The Postal Service now
has a brochure, “Do You
Believe In Magic?” that
warns consumers about
claims that relate to
medical fraud. Available at
all post offices, the new
brochure contains a
postage-free reply card to
share information or
suspicions about such offers
with postal inspectors.
10th Annual Hang Gliding Spectacular
SAGS HEAD - The tenth
Annual Hang Gliding
Spectacular will be held
here in Nags Head at
Jockey’s Ridge Park May 14
-16. This gliding spectacular
is distinguished by being the
oldest continously held hang
gliding competition in the
U.S. Staged from atop the
highest natural sand dunes
on the Atlantic Coast at
Jockey’s Ridge, the non -
profit event is sponsored by
the Dare County Jaycees
and Kitty Hawk Kites.
Duration, distance and
target competition for more
than 50 gliders will be con
ducted on May 14, and May
15, with May 16 as a rain
date.
Mark Airey, director of
the spectacular, explains,
“competition will consist of
both duration - target events
and distance trials. Pilots
will be trying to stay air
borne as long as they can
and still hit a target in the
landing area about the size
of a frisbee. Other flyers will
attempt to see who can fly
the greatest distance from
the peak of Jockey’s
Ridge,” he details.
The present Outer Banks
hang gliding duration
record is held by Pete Soule
who flew his unpowered
glider for 4 hours and 52
minutes last year.
Orville and Wilbur Wright
chose this area of North
Carolina’s Outer Banks for
their famous flight ex
periments from 1900 to 1903,
climaxed by their historic
powered flight at Kitty
Hawk which provided the
birth of aviation as we know
it today. At this year's
Gliding Spectacular
ultralight pilots will be
repeating history when they
fly their motorized aircraft
