U.R) A College nutritionist says the proper way to guard against being over weight is to adopt a diet you can live with all your life instead of just a few months. Ruth Dawson of North Dako ta Agricultural College warned fat can be fatal. She said insur ance figures show the fat man's mortality rate exceeds that of the average person by 50 per. cent. According to Miss Dawson, the best way to keep your weight down is to cut down on foods, not to omit them. Do not eliminate any single food, she advised, but go slow on rich desserts, fried foods and high calorie foods. "Two pounds a week are enough to lose," she said. "Re duce slowly and you will stay reduced." Miss Dawson added exercise ss one part of her recommended method to reduce. "Exercise is important in help ing to shave off extra pounds, as diet alone won't do it," she said. "Watch your acttivities to avoid too much sitting, and change your living pattern along with your diet."

" 4 : Brownie Leader Is Blind Woman By FRED ZAVATTERO United Press Correspondent Seattle (U.PJ Fancy needle work is a fast disappearing art, but 10 little girls in Seattle are learning the skill, although their instructor will never see the finished stitches. She's been blind since the age of 12. As adult leader of Brownie Troop 239, Mrs. John Quigg supervises the often boisterous activities of the youngsters who meet in her home once a week. "I try to help them have fun and teach them something at the same time," Mrs. Quigg said. Mrs. Quigg began her work with Brownies three years ago when her iO year-old daughter told her there was no . troop in the neighborhood because no woman supervisor could . be found. Knowi Them All "I guess I was a natural for the job," Mrs. Quigg said. "I've learned so many crafts and skills at schools for the blind." After attending four Brownie leadership 'training meetings, Mrs. Quigg was on her own. Troop 239 was organized. Although blind, she can iden tify all members of the troop. The girls believe she has some secret way of knowing what they're doing. They're still mystifield when Mrs. Quigg threads a needle for them. "One little girl used to hide from me," Mrs. Quigg said. "I I just ignored her and she finally ' gave up." j Games' and craft work make ! up the main portion of the week ly gatherings. Mrs. Quigg has i taught them basket-weaving, sewing, and leather work and the troop won a prize at a local art show with one of its projects. The reputation of Troop 239 i has spread. Mrs. Quigg is be sieged by calls from mothers ' who would like to have their girls belong to the group. "I'm limited to 10 girls," Mrs. Quigg explained, "or I'd take more." The slim, blue-eyed woman will give up her growing Brownies this year because she can't participate in older girls' activities. But that doesn't mean retirement. "My three-year-old boy will be ready for the Cub Scouts in a few years, and the Cubs always need den mothers," Mrs. Quigg said. " The boys, like the girls, soon will forget Mrs. Quigg is blind. It took one little girl more than a year to learn that her troop leader was blind. And then her mother told her. Three tablespoons of baking : soda in a quart of warm water1 make a good cleaning and de-. odorizing solution for washing defrosted refrigerator or freezer, ! ?nd for cleaning bread and lunch j boxes. Follow the washing withi i clear water rinse. School Freedom Program Topic Of May Luncheon In speaking of the May Fel lowship day theme of United Church Women, "Free Schools in a Free America," the national president, Mrs. Cynthia Wedel, states "We know that illiteracy is a terrible form of bondage which places those who cannot iesd or write at the mercy of others who may present to them truths or untruths. A free peo ple must know how to discover the truth. They must be literate and be taught to think for them selves and to judge right and wrong. This was the basic rea son for the establishment of our system of public education." Medford Council of Church Women has planned its May Fel lowship day luncheon for Fri day, May 3, in St. Mark's Guild hall at 12:30 p.m. Tickets may be purchased from church rep resentatives to the council. All interested are invited to attend the luncheon and program. An attendant will care 'for small children. Officers of the Council state that proceeds from the luncheon will be used in assisting in the work of teaching Bible history in the schools. Mrs. Gaston Floux and Mrs. Samuel Earhart, -co-chairmen for the day, have arranged the program. Two Women Join Scottish Rite Club Mrs. Gertrude Winningham and Mrs. Ewing P. Stone, Cen tral Point, became members of Scottish Rite Women's club at a meeting Monday evening, at the Masonic temple.

Canfield. The Scottish Rite Masons joined the ladies for a coffee hour after a stated meeting of the council and consistory, with Lloyd E. Hamlin, commander of the council, and Carl H. W. Oes treich, venerable master of Ka dosh, presiding. Refreshments were served from long tables decorated with baskets of spring flowers.

Drink at Glasses of 3 Snapdragon Popular Flower; Develop New Hybrid Strain By EDNA KING MANDEVILLEdoors about eight weeks before When I was a child, many years ago, I used to think that "snapdragon" was a rather ter rifying name for a flower, espe cially one so beautiful. But at least it is preferable to "antirr hinium," which is the true name for this well-known flower. . Snapdragon is the most popu lar of many flowers producing spikes of florets, largely because it is easy to grow in any aver age garden soil and makes splen did displays in the garden. The fact that it is unexcelled for cut ting has made it a favorite item with florists. At one time, the popularity of this flower was threatened by the fungus disease commonly called rust, but plant breeders promptly developed rust-resistant strains which have enabled snapdragons to continue as one of our most desirable flowers. For many years the tall rust resistant snapdragons have been the most popular variety, but re cently breeders have developed a tetraploit snapdragon by treat ing regular varieties with the drug colchicene." This increases the number of chromosomes from two to four and produces stockier plants with heavier stems and foliage. More impor tant, the flowers of this new variety are larger and more ruf fled, making them more popular for cutting purposes though possibly not quite as graceful for the garden. All this might seem quite technical to those of you who are interested only in the final beautiful appearance of your garden. But I feel that a bit of this technical information will add to your enjoyment of flower gardening as a satisfying hobby. J Those of you who might desire very early flowers with long spikes and a wide range of col ors will be interested in the new F-2 Hybrid Mardi Gras strain. It is noted for its extremely wide color range, including some col ors never before seen in snap dragons. Just imagine a single package of snapdragon seed pro ducing flowers of white, light chartreuse, lemon-yellow, canary yellow, golden yellow, gold or ange copper, scarlet - orange, light pink, rose-pink, cream, scarlet, velvety red, and many other distinct bi-colors! You get them all with this new hybrid. For those of you desiring a colorful edging, the very dwarf "magic carpet" is a fine little snapdragon. Growing to a height of only six to nine inches, the magic carpet has become almost a "must" for rock gardens and edging. Though generally not suited for cutting, it does make colorful miniature bouquets. If you want to really, get a head start with your snapdrag ons, it's wise to sow the seed in- MILK Producers Least Milk a Day! the planting time suggested on the seed packet. When two or three inches high, the seedlings may be transplanted to the gar den. After they are well estab lished outdoors about two weeks after transplanting pinch out the tops of some of the plants, leaving only three or four pairs of leaves. This may tend to slightly delay blooming, but will encourage branching. If you want to be sure of produc ing early flowers, just leave some of the plants "unpinched." Snapdragons are most often grown as an annual, but actually the are a perennial that will sur vive and bloom next season, pro vided they are planted in late summer or early fall in soil that drains well. Whenever my friends are planning a flower garden, I al ways remind them to include snapdragons. Over the years I've found them almost unequalled for brightening both the garden and the home. Vermont Housewife j 'Sparks' Invention Chicago 0J.R) A Vermont, 111., housewife, who resented the extra steps necessary to add water conditioner to her wash ing machine, sparked an inven tion which will be included in one new home appliance line. Mrs. Loyal N. Tinsley Jr., in sisted that her husband, a "base ment inventor" and owner-manager of two machine tool plants, do something to save her time. He put together two pie tins and a tuna fish can to make a device which, operating on centrifugal force, would automatically dis pense water conditioner at the right moment during the rinse cycle. Her husband then took the idea to Norge's Judson S. Sayre, who pioneered the automatic washer. Sayre called in the f 'rm's . engineers to design a sleeker unit, now called the dis penser ' wheel.- The first one made went to Mrs. Tinsley.

U.R) Cordu roy usually is all cotton and if a garment has no complicated tailoring, it can be washed in any mild soap and warm water, extension clothing ' agent Julia Brekke said. The following suggestions by Miss Brekke will help corduroy keep its rich color, softness and deep pile: 1 "Use a mild soap or suitable detergent and warm water. Squeeze suds through the fabric and rinse by pressing the water out gently. Do not twist or use a wringer as this will set deep creases into the pile. "When you take the garnjent out of the water, straighten it out in every detail. Turn up the cuffs on trousers and reset or smooth the collar. Place it on a clothes hanger, hanging skirts or trousers evenly from the waist band. "If you use a drier, turn dark corduroy inside out to avoid pos sible lint adherence. Use 'cot ton' setting of heat and remove the garment before it is Com pletely dry to keep wrinkles from setting. Give it a brisk shake and complete drying." Miss Brekke advised pressing corduroy on the wrong side over a well padded ironing board with a steam iron. Go slowly, so the steam penetrates through to the right side. Then, turn it over and brush the pile to raise it. rsr fit .n I nmmrm ll SI LVlvJVlW.il THE CONICAL FIREPLACE Nothing ::comptrfc with lh friendly atmosphere of t crctkling fir in o fir- ' plots . .
