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

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

New' York Former President Truman, in a pre-campaign
speech to Democratic leaders:
"The administration has no farm policy, no military pol

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.

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.

'Climax Tangled Up in
Technical Difficulties,
One Big Plug for Sponsor
By WILLIAM EWALD
Uniled Press Correspondent
New York (W CBS-TV's
"Climax" got tangled up in
some technical difficulties in
more ways
than one
T h u r s day
night.
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. The
initial physical competitor
wll be asked to perform feats
at a bowling alley it'll be. a
remote telecast from the alley.
Hemmingway Show
Fred Coe will produce a
live two-hour version of
Ernest Hemingway's "For
Whom the Bell Tolls" next
season. 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.
Com m unify Breakfast
Set By Lions Club
The Medford Lions club
will hold the last of its Com
munity breakfasts Sunday,
April 27, at the Top Notch
cafe, 27 South Central ave.,
club president, Louie Ruhl,
has announced.
Breakfast will be served
from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. on
an "all you can eat" basis.
Funds raised will be used for
several community projects.
The public is invited to attend.
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. Russia has pro
posed the withdrawal of for
eign troops from Central Eu
rope and the setting up of an
"atomic free zone."
Loyal Cuban Troops
Kill 15 in Oriente
Havana (IP) Loyal troops
killed 15 rebels Thursday in
two clashes in Oriente Prov
ince, the army announced dur
ing the night. The announce
ment made no mention of
government casualties.
At the same time, it was
reported here that Jose Miro
Cardona, president of the
Cuban Bar Association, fled
Friday to the Mexico Embassy
to seek asylum as a political
refugee.
Nearly 100 foes of President
Fulgencio Batista have sought
shelter in embassies here since
rebel attempts to organize a
general strike fizzled two
weeks ago.

cutting wood, make sure the
