TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, January 3, 1958 Society and Clubs 'Post-Holiday Dieters Cheered By Former Fat Girl's Success By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) To cheer all those who hunger on the first bleak day o post-holiday dieting, we present the success story of a former fat girl who says: "Stick to it. It's great to find out you've got will "powe I'll never be fat again, no matter how wonderful food tastes." ,r These words were spoken by June Valli, a five-feet-tall sing er who was at the moment sit ting in her hotel bedroom, a flimsy yellow robe wrapped around her trim curves. "I could be fat again any day I wanted to start eating the way I used to," June said. Weighed 140 Pounds She weighs 102 pounds now and has a 19-inch waistline. But five years ago, -when she was 19 years old and should have been skipping off to dances with neighborhood boys, June weigh ed 140 pounds and had a 28 inch waistline. "The fatter I gof the more I stayed home and the more I stayed home the fatter I got, because my mother had such good food around the kitchen and I picked at it all the time, June recalled. She doesn't laugh when she describes "feeling like a fat girl," yet the petite singer often drags out snapshots of herself and lets other people laugh at the way she used to look. Her dieting began after she got an unexpected chance to be a big-time singr in 1951. The Bronx-born girl had thought she'd be a dress ifcsigner, but when she won first place on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts as a singer she faced a big de cision. Started Protein Diet "I couldn't be a singer and hide my figure from people," she said. "So I cut a protein diet out of a magazine and started." She hated every minute of it, January Meeting Of Siskiyou Club Set for Monday Ashland Cy Radcliffe, Home dale, Ida., will speak for meet ing of Siskiyou Knife and Fork club Monday, January 9, at 7:30 p.m. at the Ashlfihd Elks club.

She eot wonderful breaks those first months of her singing career but she also had a coristant pang hunger. "I was miserable because I couldn't have a real dinner," she sighed. "I got so I haed the sight of cottage cheese and steak. I never could have made it if I hadn't kept myself extra busy." She lost 20 founds the first four weeks, and the sight of her reflection in the full-length mir ror gave her the will power to lose the next 20 pounds. "I went from a size 14 to a size seven," she recalled, "and vowed I'd never weigh 140' fagain in my life."

Tea Held By Herb Society The annual Christmas herb tea was given December 27 by members of Rogue Valley Herb society at Girls Community club in Medford. Mrs. Katharine Counts was a guest. After the business meeting, Mrs. Arthur B. Kneass displayed a pomander which she had made as a workshop project. She gave directions for making these pomanders, sometimes called "kissing balls" and a brief his tory. The balls are made from an orange, lemon, lime, apple or quince which are stuck ' with whole cloves, sprinkled with spices or orris root and then wrapped in paper to ripen for several weeks. The pomander ranks with potpourri for frag rance and were sometimes worn as amulets in days gone by. Of "particular interest to the group was a display of herb scrap books kept throughout the year by several members. This is con sidered an advantageous way to catalog and preserve articles and pictures of herbs which the mem bers of the society are endeavor ing to make more widely known and used. After a gift exchange, spiced tea and herb cookies were served by Mrs. John D. Hoist, Gold Hill; Mrs. Edgar Vanderlip, Mrs. R. D. Abel and Mrs. Stephen T. Counts. Mrs. Walter Grant poured. The January meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Arthur B. Kneass, 2535 Stewart avenue, Tuesday, January 24. Guests and prospective members are invited to attend the society's meetings. ing.
