However, practically every winner of either one of these contests has had a waist measurement of 24 inches or less. So that is appar ently the ideal waist measure ment for beauty contest win ners. Incidentally, the ideal waist measurement for models is 21 inches. Christian Dior, how ever, prefers models with 19 inch waists. The best method for waist reduction is to bend down' and touch the toes ten times every morning. Call that to the attention of your wife if she is thinking of trying for the Mrs. America title. Or to your daugh ter if she wants to be a model.

S. foreign service will be held in 65 cities throughout the nation on June 24. Reorganization plans call for the addition of about 2,600 offi cers in the next two years to bring the foreign service to a strength of approximately 3,900 career diplomats. The reorganization program, based on recommendations of the Secretary of State's public committee on personal (Wriston Committee), is designed to make the foreign service "... a more effective instrument for the con duct of United States foreign relations . . . ." The committee, looking into the organization of the foreign service last year found that it was one of two distinct and dif ferent personnel systems within the Department of State. Dual System Scored While the foreign service man ned United States diplomatic posts abroad, the Civil Service provided personnel for depart mental work in Washington. This dual system, according o Charles . Saltzman, undersec retary of state for administra tion, "... blocked an advan tageous interchange of skills and experience between the foreign service and the headquarters or- human being can suffer is the agony of childbirth ...

As a result of their findings, the committee recommended that the foreign service and civil service above a certain level of employment be integrated into one foreign service officer corps. This recommendation is cur rently being carried out by the Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles. About 1,400 department posts, including 16 in the United States delegation to the United Nations, have been designated as' "foreign service positions" and in time will be filled by for eign service officers.

They found that 1,285 foreign service officers, the num ber now serving, were too few adequately to represent the Uni ted States in the 105 countries with which relations are main tained. . To bring the foreign service to its proposed strength of '3,900 of ficers, the department is using two methods: appointment through successful completion of special examinations, written and oral, and appointment of civil service employees, already working for the department whose experience is required by the foreign service. Through a rotation system, recommended by the Wriston Committee, foreign service of ficers will serve both abroad and in Washington, thus main taining contact with the Ameri can domestic scene.
