Total approach to beauty aim of Studio
A total approach to beauty is
the aim of North Portland’ s
newest
service, FIGURINE
Shaping Studio. Holding its
grand opening fo r regular
hours on Tuesday, November
16, Figurine w ill provide
slenderizing
and se lf-im ­
provement opportunities to
North and Northeast women
who have previously not had
such services readily avail­
able.
The uniqueness and comple­
teness of the progi am was ap­
parent when M rs. Kay Hara­
guchi, owner and chief counse­
lo r, described the "shaping
up" processes offered by F ig-
urine. "T h e program includes
diet advice, proven forms of
active and passive exercises,
optional classes, a lending l i ­
brary, and free finishing and
make-up classes for members
who successfully complete
their program s,” she said.
M rs . Haraguchi, a practic­
ing
registered nurse fo r
twelve years, stated that she
wished to start Figurine to
help people prevent illness and
build health and positive atti­
tudes toward themselves. She
has incorporated the expertise
of herself and others into a ll
facets of the program. A ll
diets have been medically ap­
proved, and her medical know­
ledge enables her to work
closely with women who are
on Weight Watchers and medi­
ca lly designed diets. Reduc­
ing programs w ill be tailored
to
each woman’ s specific
needs, in accordance with any
doctor’ s wishes.
"W e w ill have reducing ma­
chines of m ultiple varieties,”
M rs . Haraguchi said, "and
w ill offer exercise classes in
addition. Other optional clas­
ses w ill be Music, nutrition.
Yoga, and motivation - dis­
cussion classes, all designed
to
help members ‘ ‘ Think
T h in ." Exercise classes w ill

tion classes w ill be run by
M rs . Haraguchi, and motiva­
tion - discussion classes w ill

w orker.

Welfare reform
amendments supported
1 he League of Women Vot­
ers announced it w ill support
Senator Abiaham Rlbicoff* s
welfare reform amendments
when they are Introduced in
the Senate.
The
announcement
was
made by League President
Lucy W . Henson who stated:
"T h e R ibicoff amendments
w ill provide the brand of wel­
fare reform which this country
needs. They are a significant
improvement over the pro­
visions of H .R .1 and, if passed,
w ill go a long way towards re­
lieving the welfare crunch now
squeezing both welfare reci­
pients ami state fiscal re -
sou rces.
"W e supported House pas­
sage of H.R. 1 with some res­
ervations but we have ab­
solutely no reseivations about
the seriousness of the welfare
c ris is .
Legislation is des-
pei ately needed in this session
of Congress to counteiact
state cuts in welfare ro lls and
benefits."
Among the reasons co n tri­
buting to League support,M rs.
Henson cited that R ibicoff pro-
posals would: set an Initial
$3,000 yearly income flooi foi
a fam ily of four; give moi e fis­
cal re lie f to (he states; gu a i-
antee that no teclpient receive
less than he wasgetting in J >in-
uary, 1971; and prov kle betlei
protections foi the rights of
welfare recipients than the
House passed b ill.
The League president was
also c ritic a l of the Jepth of the
Adm inistration’ s commitment
to welfare reform as a top do­
mestic p rio rity . "W e don’ t
see the Adm inistration push­
ing too hard in the Senate not
do we understand rhetoric that
one day speaks of Improving
tlie lot of the 7-1/2 m illio n
children receiving benefits
arid the next day stigmatizes
their parents as cheaters and
mat Inge i ei s.”
M rs. Henson announces that
special txilletins weie I« I ng
sent to 1300 Leagues through­
out the country calling fo r an
all-out, end-of-sessfon push
by League members and oilier
gioups active In the welfare
reform
campaign. Special
emphasis Is being placed on
working with state governors
to enlist their support foi fed­
eral welfare legislation.
If the Rlbicoff improve­
ments aie tncorpoi ated In the
House passed legislation, the
nation could tv taking a mon­
umental step toward elunuiat-
ing povei ty fo r more than 25
m illio n Americans, M rs. Hen­
son stated. " I t ’ s amazing that
with tlie welfare system so
patently ineffective, this coun­
try has waited so longtoenact
legislation (hat w ill take us out
of tlie cui lent mess. Senatoi
Rlblcoff’ s amendments seem
to us to be just that kind of leg­
isla tio n ."
Otlier components of tlie
Rlbicoff proposal include:
—yearly increases in pay­
ment levels, reaching tia)pov­
erty level by 197b with a cost
of living sdjustment clauses.
— required state supple­
mentation with the federal
government paying 30$ of
supplemental payments above
fedeial floors.
—fu ll fedeial takeover of
welfare Costs ovoi a five year
period.
—provision of i least 300,
000 public jobs.
— improved work Incentive
income disiegards.
— all Job refer rals at no less
ttian tlie fedeial minimum
wage.
-no work legist ration for
motlie. s of chlldionuixlei age

less couples.
