14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, April 25, 1953 Dieting Alone Fails To Solve Problem of Overweight People By DELOS SMITH Uniled Press Science Editor New York HP) A scientific authority on diets and dieting admits that dieting alone has f ' failed and is national health prob lem of so many people weighing more than they should. Dr. Char lotte M.Young of the Graduate School of Nu trition, Cornell university, A Oelos Smith went even further by saying some fatsos should never be subjected to the rigors of diet ing, and others should be spared them if they are under emotional stress and strain. The cause of overweight is simple more energy in the form of food is taken in than is put out in the form of ac tivity. But the reasons why overweight people take in more than they put out are complicated, she said. Stress Prevention Therefore, the long-range lolution of the overweight problem is prevention rather Quotes From the Hews By UNITED PRESS New' York Former President Truman, in a pre-campaign speech to Democratic leaders: "The administration has no farm policy, no military pol icy or no policy whatsoever . . .

APPLIANCE than cure, and the prevention should be directed at the eco nomic, social, cultural, and psychologic things which start some people on persistent over-eating which eventually makes them fat. Dr. Young wasn't giving up on overweight people, of course. From the health stand point, it remains essential to get their weights down and keep them down if they're go ing to have the better health and the longer lives of their lean brethren. But medical experience now shows conclusively that dieting alone is not the an swer, she continued in a re port to the Medical Society of the State of New York. Exer cise also reduces weight more energy is put out and there is a closer match with the energy taken in." Attention to Exercise "In these days of mechani zation when man unwittingly becomes lazier and lazier, at tention might well be concen trated on more exercise which becomes a part of the daily routine," she said. "Not only would it mean greater energy expenditure but often would be an outlet for nervous energy, release of tension, and less 'time on one's hands' for boredom with its subsequent sipping and nibbling." She felt doctors should be sure overweight persons were emotionally able to control their eating, before ordering them to diet, since it is well known that even for the pur pose of medical treatment, "it is almost impossible to con trol the diet of certain normal weight individuals. How much more difficult it must be then, to control the intake of obese persons to whom food often means more than just nourishment." Apples Should Be Checked for Bloom Both commerical and home growers of apples should check their trees for heavy bloom, according to Clifford B. Cordy, county agent for horticulture. He explained that apple trees that produce an extra heavy crop of fruit one year, usually do not bloom the fol lowing year. Tor this reason Cordy said the fruit should be thinned early, either in the bloom or fruit stage. He added that a chemical spray of one half pound of Amid Thin to 100 'gallons of water should be applied when 70 per cent of the bloom petals have fallen. v The hard to thin apple vari ties should be sprayed now, he said. Red delicious varities should not be sprayed until they are certain of a crop, he explained. County Exhibits. D ue ., Better Spots at Fair Salem (IP) Plans of the State Fair Commission call for a more prominent place for" county exhibits and better coordination of agricultural exhibits, it was revealed Thursday. Personnel Changes In Forest Listed Several recent personnel changes on the Rogue River National Forest have been announced by Carroll E. Brown, forest supervisor. Robert E. Krell has been transferred to the Prospect ranger district from the Smith River district on the Siuslaw. Krell has been engaged in timber sale work on the Siuslaw for several years and has also worked on the Ump qua National Forest. Herbert Pratt has arrived at Union Creek where he will serve as timber management assistant. He came' irom the Regdon district of the Wil lamette National Forest where he has worked on timber sale and engineering activities. Robert E. Taylor, from the Detroit district on the Wil lamette, has been transferred to the assistant ranger posi tion at Ashland. Zane G. Smith Jr., who has been on military leave for the past two years, is now assign ed to the Butte Falls district as forester. Robert Gilmore has been transferred from Union Creek to the fire assist ant position on the Prospect district. All of the men have estab listed residence with their families at their new head quarters. Increased timber sale and timber management activities has created need for additional help, Brown said. Snider Named to Committee Post Mayor John Snider has been named to the committee on legislation and enforcement of the Highway Lifesavers Com mittee of Oregon Cities, Inc., it was reported today. He was appointed by F. A. Dressier, president of the highway safety group, who is also vice president and Ore gon general manager of the Pacific Telephone . and Tele graph company. . The committee's job will be to support measures leading to greater highway safety rec ommended by the group's board of directors, both through legislation and en forcement procedures. Snider, who is chairman of the high way committee of the League of Oregon Cities, recently rep resented the league at the President's Highway Safety conference in San Francisco. Groups Reminded of MSC Membership C. D. Larson, chairman of the membership campaign of the Medford Safety Council, reminded firms, organizations and individuals to return the application blanks and mem bership checks as soon as pos sible. Larson noted that return ing checks at this time would lessen the work of volunteer committee members who will be asked to make personal follow-up calls to encourage membership in the safety group. ; It was pointed out that the Medford Safety Council is the only citizen organization de voting full time to all phases of public safety. Illinois has 11,404 miles of railway trackage. fafarn ri t' r VOTE FOR James M. for Circuit Judge position No. 1 Judge James M.

Its story, "Shooting for the Moo n," was about the d e velopnent of the Jupit-er-C ballistic William Ewald missile and seemed to be a servicable semi-documentafy. I say "seemed" because at this end of the line about nine vital minutes of the show's sound was swallowed up by technical troubles. The sections of the show that did manage to bust through were of medium interest although a domestic conflict that work ed into the plot was unneces sary cargo. One-Hour Plug If I had to voice any real objection to the hour it would be a mild one it all seemed very much like a one-hour plug for the sponsor of "Cli max" whose missile division in Detroit figured prominent ly. in the plot. I thought that in return for the whopping plug the sponsor at least could have cut out the regular com mercials. John Forsythe, Dick York, Bethel Leslie, Alexander Sco- urby and Robert Armstrong all toiled competently. The Channel Swim: CBS TV's "The $64,000 Question" is undergoing another over haul Beginning this Tuesday, one contestant will compete in the" field of physical skills rather than mental ones.

Mike Stokey, producer of ABC - TV's "Pantomime Quiz," is pitching a couple of other panel quizzes at the ad agencies. CBS-TV is consider ing night-time versions of "Dotto" and "The Verdict Is Yours," both of which are racking up good day-time ratings.

Russian Bases in Satellites Voiced Oslo, Norway HP) Foreign Minister Halvard M. Lange told Parliament early today Russia is believed to have established bases for Inter mediate range rocket missiles in Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. ; Lange said in a foreign af fairs . debate that Western military experts believed these reports to be correct. The foreign minister said any agreement on disengage ment in Central Europe would make necessary the controlled demolition of the Russian rocket bases.
