Wed, Nov. 8, 1978 B7 THE CALGARY HERALD Braless joggers run breast damage risk Teen view By Eric Greif Miss Levin, who lives in Chicago, was in Los Angeles to organize the Quaker Oats run to be held Sunday. She said while most people run for the exercise, many run to be seen. Among this group are the braless women. "In other parts of the country it's not a matter of being seen," she said, "because for several months we're bundled up in layers of clothes.

In Southern California people are in brief clothing and, sure, they like to be seen." Parks that stretch along the Pacific Ocean for miles provide joggers with a paradise. On any day, after normal working hours, literally hundreds of joggers can be spotted racing through these parks. A Santa Monica police officer who chose to remain anonymous said he believes one- fourth of all the accidents that occur between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. in his seaside community can be attributed to shapely women joggers.

twists and turns to get a better look. Man's car slams into vehicle in front In Southern California where T-shirts are the staple of most wardrobes, the problem occurs year-round. In most parts of the nation, winter brings a reprieve from the constant distraction to drivers. But in this land of eternal sunshine, there's just no escape. In mid-January, when most of the nation is wrapped in heavy wool coats or sitting in front of roaring fires.

Southern Califomians are playing golf, fishing and jogging. "Running causes abrasion, tears and of the breasts. Miss Levin said. "Some women use Band-Aids and Vaseline to protect their breasts, but many are individualistic. Small-breasted women don't have quite the problem, but it still affects them.

"Basically, if a woman is a 34-B or over, they need support because it hurts and causes damage. They should look for bras with no wire or supports something cotton that will absorb the sweat." LOS ANGELES (UPI) Jogging may be good for the health of the jogger, but shapely women runners are both subject to their own health hazard and a threat to, traffic safety. Terra levin, an accomplished long-distance runner and the national director of a series of races, said many injuries are caused by women who run without wearing a bra. She advises even the casual woman weekend jogger to fit herself into a comfort-, able bra before going' through her paces. -Women who don't.

Miss Levin said, risk sagging breasts and severely irritated nipples. But in terms of actual injuries, women are much more protected than male automobile drivers who peer along sidewalks, in rear-view mirrors, honk the horn and let loose with wolf whistles as the braless jogger bounces by. It's impossible to estimate how many times the scene has been repeated: Woman runs through heavy traffic. Man 4 Great Looks Combine With Wearability al guards, who, by this time, were entering the room. A stereo played Ladd's new album, and some of the teen-agers grew impatient.

It would be better if she came out now before more people come!" said one teen girL I talked to more teen-agers who all commented that they had skipped the afternoon from school to make the appearance. They all said that they were very excited to see a real television star in person. I must admit the feeling that the crowd generated was one of excitement. I too, was looking forward to seeing Cheryl Ladd. By the time Ladd did prance out onto the stage, the Chinook Buffet was one huge mass of onlookers.

Everyone who had been told to sit down before stood up in excitement as they saw the woman up there before their eyes. Cheryl continually smiled, as she said how happy she was to be in Cal-. gary. I noted a hint of true feeling, and I must admit, she really looked happy and beautiful. Yes, Cheryl Ladd is as beautiful in real life as she is on television.

It was then that an announcer told everyone to get in an orderly fashion for an autograph session. She began autographing (at lightning fast speeds, I must point out), and the crowd grew anxious. Everyone was pushing, and things got out of hand. The room was an inferno, as the body heat of all of the well wishers came together. It took its toll on one woman who fainted right by me.

Ladd had to leave midway through the session because too many people were getting hurt due to the shoving by anxious onlookers. It was slowly resolved, and she came back on the stage. In the end everyone had a great time. All were able to see Cheryl Ladd, to hear her talk about how happy she was to be in Calgary. The guys said she was too good to be true, and the girls wanted to dash home to change their hair.

I got an autograph and a thirty-'second interview. She told me she thought Calgary was a beautiful city and that she would like to see the whole area sometime. In Our 3 Choice Nylon Carpets I entered the world of Hollywood and mob scenes this past Monday afternoon. Cheryl Ladd, the actress known for her role in Charlie's Angels, was making a promotional appearance in connection with her new Capital Records album. I was there, along with hundreds of other teens, and adults alike.

The staff of The Bay, and security guards from Basefort Security System, began working early to clear the Chinook Buffet for the arrival of Cheryl Ladd. People who were dining were told to move to other parts of the cafeteria as ropes were set up. and other security measures. It was at this time that I was able to ask some of the teen-agers why they had come. One girl commented that Cheryl Ladd was one of her favorite stars, and that all she wanted was one autograph.

Several teen-age boys pointed out that they felt Ladd was beautiful, and they wanted one look at her "in person." I couldn't have agreed with them more, as I noticed more security guards entering the scene. The tension mounted as people shuffled in trying to find a place to sit or stand. Many were clutching newly-bought Cheryl Ladd record albums or posters of the newest of Charlie's Angels. There was one small girl from elementary school who was carrying a poster bigger than she wasl Ropes and security guards separated the route Ladd would be taking onto the stage from the multitude of bodies already crowding the buffet. All the people began pushing towards the stage.

It seemed that everyone was carrying a camera in hopes of getting a picture of the new recording star. Autograph hounds were everpresent, and some teens were hunting for scraps of paper they could use for a signature when Ladd would arrive. I noticed many adults there, as well, which only goes to show that you are never too old to be a "fan" of someone. As the time went by, more fans huddled in, and the guards tried to get them into orderly fashion. There were at least five Basefort men, as well as Ladd's person TEP.
