THOUGHTS ON DIET
By Charles V. Stanton
Ha! Boyle had somethintc to say in his column recently
about reducingr diets. Twenty-six million Americans, he
t-pnortpd are overweight. That's a lot of Americans and
a lot of fat. I'm one of those Americans. I can speak with
authority. Boyle had to go to an "expert" ior nis iniorma.
i.. u. ahmilH tinvn talked to mv wife.
My wife made up my mind that I was getting too
heavy I was aware, of course, that most of my clothes
had shrunk, that I was finding it increasingly difficult to
climb stairs without puffing; tnat i naa nine uu i
rather than ride; that I had much more preference for the
easy chair than the lawn mower. But an mat, i insist, was
i,,t Wniwe T worked hard and was tired. But the wife
raised a quizzical eyebrow when I mentioned that (quote)
hard work (unquote), although she was too polite to argue
the point. '. , , ,
Anyway, she talked to my doctor, who said he had
noted that I was becoming a little bulgy. He gave her a diet
llBt I made the point that I was simply barrel-cheated, and
the wife agreed, but said a barrel resting on an over-inflated
inner tube is a queer sight.
A Rank Injustice
Well, you know as well as I do what happens when
you argue with a determined wife!
I'm on diet. .,.
And now I have a cause for complaint. I believe 26
million of us overstuffed Americans are being treated un
justly. I believe there ought to be a law.
I pick up the paper, and what do I see? Advertise
ments for food ! Choice steaks at reduced prices. A whole
array of succulent foodstuffs, displayed with all the art of
the advertising layout man. And the food editor fills her
page with pictures of tempting desserts, cookies, and spicy
When I can no longer stand the drooling induced by
perusing the newspaper, I turn on the radio and am immed
iately greeted by a commercial bringing visions of New
York cut steaks sizzling from the charcoal grill, smothered
in mushroom sauce, and flanked by a huge baked potato,
loaded with butter, topped with sour cream.
After smashing the radio set, I turn for relief to tele
vision, and upon the screen flashes a picture of loaves of
snowy white bread', or luscious dishes of ice cream, fol
lowed by a gorgeous blonde, with all the curves obvious, I
mean obviously, in the right places, pouring a glass of cool,
foamy beer.
Finally, In desperation, I turn off the TV and pick up a
magazine, whereupon I'm confronted with glorious colored
advertisements of baked hams, angclfood cakes, iced dos
aerts etc. and etc.
I tell you there's a conspiracy against us fat folk!
Tips On Travel
You don't believe me?
All right, you're going on vacation. Do your friends
tell you about the beautiful scenery, points of interest, re
creational opportunities in the areas you are to visit?
They do not!
They tell you about the wonderful meal at Herman's Nut
Farm, or the superdelicious Italian meal at Petro's, or they
tell you not to miss the "out-of-this-world" Mexican food at
Cisco's.
It used to be that we travelled to see and do things.
Now it seems we travel only from one famed eating spot to
another.
But dieting has its good points I tell myself as I dine
on my one-quarter fresh apple (medium), my half-cup of
ugh spinach and sip at my glass of skim milk, while the
cooking instructor on television tells how to make a pine
apple upside-down cake with brown sugar and maple syrup.
Yes, dieting has its good points. Life insurance actuaries
. tell us we'll live much longer if we rid ourselves of surplus
adipose tissue.
But then comes the question, do we live to eat or eat to
live?
The Act's Smash Finish
Race Issue Placed
On Texas Ballot
For Primary Vote
AUSTIN, Tex. UP) The first
big test of the opinion of Texas
voters on mixing of white and
Negro children in public schools
and on other race questions will be
held in the Democratic primary
July 28.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee Monday voted formal
ly to submit the questions in a
referendum simultaneously with
the primary held to nominate a
candidate for governor and other
state officers.
The action was virtually auto
matic. It was requested in peti
tions signed by 153,868 Democratic
voters more than the 10 per cent
which would make it mandatory
under the Texas election code.
The referendum Questions will
be printed on the ballot like this:
1. "Mixing white and Negro
children in the public schools:
tor (or against) specific leg
islation exempting any child from
compulsory attendance at inte
grated schools attended by white

INTO ANTIQUITY
Industrial News-Rtview
Finding the origins of words in
common use can often be a fas
cinating and surprising occupation.
The Exchange, a magazine is
sued by the New York Stock Ex
change, recently gave the origins
of various words connected with
the world of finance. Wall Street
comes from a palisade st wood
built by the Dutch as a defense
against Indians. Stock goes back
to the Anglo-Saxon stock, meaning
a tree trunk or a stick in those
times wood had to be stored for
the winter, often in a tree trunk.
Bond is a variation on the Middle
English word band, meaning a
fastening. The issuer of a bond is
"bound" to make repayment.
Capitalist derives from the Latin
caput, for head. It is linked with
cattle, for in ancient times a man's
wealth was numbered by the num
ber of cattle he owned and cattle
were counted by the head. And
broker was an Old French word
for one who broached a cask to
draw off the liquid.
Bulls and bears have a particu
larly picturesque origin. Long ago

Within the next month two Sen
ate groups probably will look
closely into the sharp rivalry
among the armed services which
recently came into glaring light.
But it Is unlikely that anything
they learn or decide will bring
that competition to an end. Nor
should that be (heir goal.
It is inevitable that in this swift
ly changing age great questions
should arise as to what kind of
war we should be prepared to fight,
what weapons we should employ,
and what roles and missions the
Army, Navy and Air Force should
perform in any future combat.
We learned in World War II
that prosecuting a war needs more
unity of effort than we had then.
But we also discovered, in trying
to bring about that unity later,
that none of the individual armed
services could be prevailed upon
to yield their separate identity.
The evidence in the intervening
decade suggests that the country
is betler off because they did re
tain their separate existence. Tho
competition has been more bene
ficial than, harmful, even though.
as in 1949 and now, it has erupted
the practicability of the super-carriers
which the Navy emphasizes
along with its atomic-powered sub
marines and other craft.
But from the nation's standpoint
the gains from this competitive
feeling have been substantial. Air
Force and Army may agruc over
the relative value of such anti
aircraft guided missiles as the Tal
os and the Nike. Yet the signifi
cant thing may really be that we
have two such missiles to argue
about, instead of one which might
in fact be inadequate.
THE RECORD of warfare shows
that all the services have made
major mistakes in the past. The
existence of competitive brains
and energy in rival services helps
us to counteract tnose errors
With all our eggs in one big bas
ket, a mistake thus compounded
could prove fatal to the nation's
safely.
, Adolf Hitler showed us the perils
in this course. He had the first
operational jet plane but he ham
pered its usefulness by insisting it
be used for bombine rather than
as a fighter, for ' which it was

President Eisenhower said it

concern, which we would echo,
that the argument be kept tem

In Radio Contact
In Anrartic Area
WASHINGTON Ml The Navy
said Monday its antarctic winter
base at Little America has estab
lished radio contact with the Rus
sian station 1,650 miles across the
frozen continent.
As a result of the contact, the
Navy said, "visits from Ameri
can and Russian stations by rep
resentative groups have been sug.
gested."
It did not indicate whether ar
rangements have been made for
exchange visits between the two
camps.
The Navy said three officers will
arrive at Christchurch. New Zea

mer operations, and for the first
airplane landing at the South Pole.

One of the three is Capt. Gerald
lu Kelchum of Bellingham, Wash.,
deputy task' force commander.
The U.S. plans to build a 25-man
base at the pole for earth science
studies during the International
Geophysical Year, which begins
July 1, 1957.
The Navy said it would use 10
airplanes in the antarctic in the
coming operations, compared with
four last year. In addition, the Air
Force will use eight huge C14s to
drop 500 tons of building mater
ials at the pole.
Navy planes will land 26 Sea
bees at the pole as soon as pos
sible after Oct. 15 to build the
base. Later the Seabecs will be
flown out and replaced with 25
scientists who will spend the next
antartic winter at the lonely
post.

Approval in a referendum is
necessary if the state Democratic
convention in September decides
to include demands for specific
legislation in us piaiiorm. But ap
proval does not bind the conven

der Texas law.
The proposed referendum drew
opposition Monday night at San
Antonio, where the Bexar County
Democratic Executive Committee
condemned the state executive
group for placing the race issues
on the ballot.

And the bulls got their name from
this animal's habit of tossing things

Thus do words go back into an
tiquity. And so, in a way, does the
institution of the, stock exchange
itself. It is symptomatic of man's
age old desire to own and to ac
cumulate and to exchange prop
ertya desire on which civiliza
