Luxury Spa
Run For
Teeners
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York IP Florida
now boasts a "junior Maine
Chance" for teen-age fatties.
The luxury spa is run by a
47-year-old businessman nam
ed Larry Paskow, who said
the resort grew from nec
essity. His own daughter, Pat
ricia, had been fat through
out childhood.
"Summer camp didn't help
her any," said Paskow. "Pat
ty's come home 10 pounds
heavier each year. Finally my
wife and I decided we'd look
for a camp or health farm
which catered to overweight
teenagers. There wasn't one,
so we opened our own."
Daughter Was 'Fatly'
Patricia, now 16, was one
of 22 "fatties" who partici-
pated in the eight-week pro
gram on an experimental bas
is last summer.
"Every one of the girls, but
one, went home 10, 15, and
even more pounds slimmer,"
said Paskow during an inter
view here. "Patty's now a
trim 126 pounds, down from
154. Of course, not all of that
melted off in the eight weeks.
"The idea is to . teach the
youngsters proper eating hab
its, actually to re-train thsir
food preferences, and hope
they'll keep up the good work
once they get home.
"We've kept in touch with
each of our girls through the
winter. We're mighty proud
of Janey Hawkins, a farm girl
from Casey, 111. Janey came
to the spa weighing 212
pounds. She left at 155, and
now writes that she has set
tled down to 14.
"All but one girl stuck it
out last summer," said Pas
kow. "We had to send her
home early. She would sneak
away for an afternoon and
gorge. After two or three
such incidents, we knew for
the morale of the others, she
would have to go."
100 Girls Enroll
Pashow's Harbor Island
spa is located at Miami Beach.
In winter, it caters to adults
who want to lose a few
pounds, or else just get a
good rest. This summer, the
teeners again will take over
100 girls, 14 to 19 years
old, enrolled at S890 a head.
"They're hardly roughing
it," said Paskow. "Each room
is air-conditioned with pri
vate bath and shower. It's
sort of a junior Maine
Chance." The reference was
to the Arizona health resort
visited earlier this year by
Mamie Eisenhower.
The daily program at Har
bor Island includes spot re
ducing, steam room, massage
and calisthenics, plus lessons
in makeup, hair-styling, style,
speech, dancing, manners and
various outdoor sports wat
er skiing, golf, tennis and
swimming.

Play Cast
Announced
At College
Ashland Many parents
today use Dr. Spock's "Baby
Care" as a guide to the rear
ing of children, but Patrick
Flannigan in the "Loud Red
Patrick'' brings his daughters
up according to Roberts'
Rules of Order. "Loud Red
Patrick" is the spring quarter
play to be given May 9 and

member of the council voles
according to age, one vote for

together, they can control the
council, a fact which Father
Flannigan well knows, when
they vote for the most Im
portant issue to be brought
before the group, the subject
of Maggie's marriage. Much

ters about the resolution of
Maggie's problem.

bringing of the Flannigan
daughters; Ralph Penrose, the
suitor for Maggie's hand, and

Kennedy's Oregon
Visit Postponed
Portland (IP) The visit
of Sen. John F. Kennedy CD
Mass.) to Oregon has been
postponed.
Sen. Kennedy was sched
uled to visit Portland and
Eugene Sunday and today,
but remained in Washington,
D.C., because of Senate business.
This new "chemise cloche" has a high upswept crown.
Fashioned of orange Panamalac, it is trimmed with matching
satin and worn at the new off-face pose.
Hats Accent
New Chemise
The peak of the dashing,
casually-chic chemise costume
for spring is the upswept hat
that focuses attention on your
face. The high, off-face round
ness of the roller-breton and
the full-blown chemise cloche
make a perfect balance for
the tapering, narrow lines of
the costume.
In a season of colorful
clothes, the bright-colored hat
is more "basic" than black.
As the high point of a figure
skipping suit or dress of neu
tral beige or grey, try a blaz
ing brightness ' of straw in
orange, red or yellow. Subtly
lighten the violent color of a
spring suit with a blouse and
hat of shadowed red, blue or
yellow print laced with white.
Puncti' te a narrow -coat of
navy wool with a soaring tur
ban of dotted silk or a fez of
fragile silk anemones shading
from violet to pink.
The tall-crowned cloche
with the narrow brim is only
vaguely reminiscent of the
one worn by Clara Bow. With
its headband resting high' on
the hairline, the 1958 chemise
cloche shows rather than
smothers the face. But its
high, lofty look harmonizes at
tractively wth soft, subtly
shaped modern versions of the
chemise dress.
E a s y-waisted, loose-fitting
suits take neatly to snug, off
face cloches, rolled-back bre
tons and high, native-inspired
turbans. Coats and tailleurs
with controlled fullness to
ward the back need the bal
ance of a forward-reaching
brim, arched high bonnet
fashion or abbreviated at the
back by a folded-up Watteau
brim.
Attractive, important-looking
hats are demanded by the
understated new clothes of
spring 1958. And for the wom
an whose legs are less than
long-stemmed "American
beauties," flattering, face
framing hats have become a
necessity.

State Medical
Care Hot Issue
Los Angeles (IP) One
of the hottest non-medical is
sues up for discussion during
the California Medical assoc
iation convention started Sun
day at the Ambassador hotel
is the state medical care pro
gram legislated into law last
year.
Dr. Donald Harrington, the
chairman of the CM A, advis
ory committee to California
public assistance medical
care program, said objections
to the program from Calif
ornia doctors are widespread,
but not essentially on the
same points.
Harrington said, however,
that a complaint shared by
most of the factions is that
the program, which requires
doctors to secure treatment
authorization for the needy
from county welfare agencies
disrupts the doctor-patient re
lationship. Resolutions ranging from
suggestions that . the law be
totally abandoned to propos
als for minor administrative
changes are expected to be
introduced during . the House
of Delegates meeting Monday
followed by a general debate
at the close of the convention
Wednesday.

'Marriage' Nerves? Try This
The Smith marriage wages
a running battle, with skir
mishes ranging from argu
ments over uncapped tooth
paste to overdue payments on
the mortgage. Mrs. Smith
complains that her husband
doesn't love her any more
because he criticizes her cook
ing, spends unnecessary eve
nings at the office, and re
fuses to let her see the bank
book. Mr. Smith accuses his
wife of losing interest in him
because she keeps him awake
at night with recitals of her
ailments, reverses his discip
line with the children, and
belittles his work.
Tensions mount higher and
higher, while the home be
comes a battle ground and
the children lose, all sense of
security and direction. With a
divorce threatening, they
come to a marriage counselor
who helps them gain per
spective on their problems
and plan a rebuilding pro
gram. What he suggests can
apply in general to any mar
riage: 1. Keep your discussions
pleasant. Learn to distinguish
between argument and peace
ful discussion. When you find
the situation becoming too
charged with emotion, your
perspective warping out of
line with reality, or your self
control slipping cool off
Say nothing until you can be
constructive.
2. Try to give your mate a
sense of security, of belong
ing. Women respond to en
couragement and praise. Men
appreciate warmth, admira
tion, and respect. Express
these ego-builders at least
.once a day consciously, if
need be, and sincerely. Make
praise a habit.
3. Attempt to gain mutual
adjustment and satisfaction in
every area of marriage rela
tions. Physical maladjustment

it may present a complicated

easy-to-read books to help you

4. Respect your mate's in

7. Share mutual hobbies
and interests, and cultivate
some skills of your own: sew

8. Cooperate on your fi

and your ideals.
