If you can count your calorie every day while cooking for a harvest crew. If you can pass the candy coun ter when you're shopping, or smell the bakery goodies without stopping You're going to lose Borne weight, my dear. If you'll take time to plan your healthful menus, then eat no more than what you've plan ned, If you can stop while reaching and slap that naughty out reached hand. If you can stick to exercises daily, and take a walk Instead of cookies bake You'll wear the TOPS club crown more often and help your chapter records make. If you can eat a wholesome breakfast and only nourishing foods at lunch, Then sup but lightly in the evening, going to bed without another munch, You're on the way to being slender. Clothes on the small size rack will be for you. A row of six-weeks-loss trophies won't be just a dream, but true. If you can eat three sticks of celery when what you really want Is chocolate cake, Or write a letter to some lone ly person when fudge Is what you'd rather make, If you can say, "No thank you, I've had my quota" and stick to it time and time again, .. You're going to lose that fat, big girlie, you'll be looking and not just THINKING thin. If you can make this kind of living habit, you'll be a real credit to Lexington Leaner Tods.

WOKMOroMQMSKM Your Buick-Opel dealer will give you better reasons to buy a new car now than anybody else. The business of auto safety. Auto safety is everyone's concern. But it's our business. And we think the attention that's being paid to auto safety now is a good thing. Because it will result in better driving for everyone. And. frankly, better driving for everyone means better business for us. ' We say Buick is something to believe in. That's why we're trying to make it easy to be safe by putting in safety features that work by themselves. You don't have to do anything to make them work. Like side guard beams. And the energy absorbing steering column. And the cargo guard between the trunk and back seat. They start "working" even before you get in the car. But two safety features, two of the most vital, are worthless unless you do something first Seat and shoulder belts. Unfastened they do nothing. And you've seen enough statistics to know what a difference they can make. So use them. But thafs not all you can do. Because the most ef fective safety feature of all can't be added to our cars or anybody else's. That feature is you. And the way you drive. Which should be defensively. And rested. And sober. We're all in this together. And together we can solve the auto safety problem once and for all. And the time is now.
