'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,

ford, are now members of the
club's board of directors.
.Tuno admits franklv. 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."

Annua! 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.
