He taught physical education and hygiene, flinging the win- dows wide open and lec- turing his classes. about whole wheat. bread... A quarter of-a century ago — when 30-year-old Canadians were commonly rated as out- of-condition slobs compared to 60-year-old Swedes -- he preached physical fitness with the fierce dedication of an Old Testament ‘prophet. carrying his message to the general PRalp through the pages o hh Hall's now defunct Sernsy Shore Citizen. Then, in the spring of 1961, he packed it in, discouraged by Canadian indifference, and departed for England to settle there and write books --.“the wee small voice of conscience magnified to a clarion call”, as Mia Farrow described him in a farewell article.

He was the most aware man I have ever met . He was the epitome of total fitness. In superb condition, he maintained the spring of a Nijinsky, lithe in his masculine grace, the result of the discipline he advocated. Here was a harmony of being. the beauty of reality. the potential of man _ being realized.” Yesterday was the first sad anniversary. On October 16, 1981, Harcourt Roy was killed in a traffic accident on an English highway. He lives on in the memory of many North Shore people whose lives he touched for the better. »*ELECTION UPDATE: Coming down to the wire (nomination deadline for the November elections is just eight days away), West Van school board chairman Mark by Noel Wright Sager will announce tomorrow that he's running this time’ round for an ‘aldermanic seat -- which he came near.to winning four years ago ...
