Don't Take Tranquilizer; Take Walk, Go Swimming By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International Indianapolis-dTD-Too many American women reach for a tranquilizer instead of tak ing a walk or a swim. So says Naomi L. Leyhe, new chairman of the depart ment of physical education for women at Indiana University. She heads a faculty of 10 responsible for the physical instruction of some 1,450 coeds each semester at this major Midwestern University at Bloomington, south of In dianapolis. Miss Leyhe's experience has given her a varied geographi cal acquaintance with Ameri can women. She is a former staff member of Georgia State College for Women, Pa cific University in Oregon, Boston Hospital, and Camp Wenonah in Maine. She also is author of two widely used sports manuals in basketball and volleyball. She said: "To my mind, the major problem among adult women is the build-up of unrelieved tensions-caused by the tempo of modern living, with the resultant reliance upon tran quilizers and sleeping pills. A balance among work, rest and play would make pills passe." ' She has found that femi nine interest in good health varies little from one section of the United States to the other. Once a girl is trained in the importance of good health as a component of beauty she tends to continue a healthful routine, the physical educa tion expert believes. She dis counted the idea that a seri ous lapse of interest in good health occurs when a girl leaves supervised school rou tine. "Rather, the neglect of earlier years results in poor health in later years." to Sponsor on Saturday Grants Pass, 1131a- Section B, north-south win ners were Robert Dickey and Howard Boyd, first, 120 points; Walter Humes and W. L. Huson,' second, 119'4; the Leland Clarks, third, 119; Mrs. Ben Todd and Mrs. Al Gil housen, fourth, 113. East-west winners in Sec tion B were the Jick Mitchells, first, 128V; Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Farrow, Portland, second, 123 li; the Roger Smoots, third, 121; Mrs. Marion Keim and Mrs. Robert Elliott, 112Vi points. Try Art, Suggests Chairman By PATRICIA McCORMICK United Press International New York Brush up on art by browsing through at least one art exhibit during the year, suggests Hudson Walker, chairman of the American Federation of Arts' approaching golden jubilee. Walker also suggests that you shop for good art to cover bare walls in your living room, dining room, and bed rooms. He defines good art as "any thing that stirs you." Most persons are in the dark about art," he said, "and have a notion that 'art appre ciation means reading about art. This isn't so. Art appre ciation is a feeling." Take Your Tim You can't develop the feel ing, according to Walker, by sprinting through an art ex hibit with the intention of giv ing each and every work a hasty once-over. "You have to pace your self, spending about 30 min utes at one time touring one or two sections of an exhibi tion," he said. "Mull over the work that appeals to you at first glance. "The longer you stand in front of an appealing paint ing, the sooner you'll get the artist's message. The picture has meaning for you if it fills your mind full of images. That is appreciation." Walker suggests shopping around until you locate a painting that moves you be fore buying. No Defense Needed "Remember that you are buying to suit your tastes, so don't worry about defending the painting in front of your friends," he said. "I don't understand why, but art in the home seems to be fair game when visitors call. The very people when wouldn t dare take issue with your furniture, clothes or draperies don't hesitate to tear apart the art on your walls. "You can put the critic in his place by telling him that it's your selection and that it wasn't meant to please every Tom, Dick and Harry." This college administrator thinks school training in phy sical education should begin at the elementary or grade school level "with a diversi fied, balanced program of rhythms, games and physical conditioning activities. "At the high school level the same holds true except that where feasible, greater emphasis should be placed upon the learning of the indi vidual and dual sports. "At the college level, the emphasis should be placed upon the individual and dual sports with an eye to useful ness in adult life." Miss Leyhe, at 44, says that my vocation, avocation, and favorite form of recreation will always be swimming. Camping comes as a close second." On one camping trip she went into the new "49th state" on a 77-day jaunt to the Yukon New Chef Starts at Mon Desir Inn Central Point-Chef Arthur Steimle, who holds master des cuisine in both France and Germany, has started employ ment at the Mon Desir Din ing Inn in Central Point. Steimle, who started in the business when he was 14. was apprenticed to the Oschsen in Tubingen, Germany, for three years, then moved to Pfalz- graf in Newstadt, the Kur- haus in Bad Nauheim and to the Hotel Germania in Karls ruhe. In the fall of 1957, he went to the Shattuc Chateau in Salem, where he assisted his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Kuhn. Prior to coming to this country, Steimle served in the American Officers club at Stuttgart, Germany. mm It may be an "off election" year, but the political fires are not being allowed to die down, particularly in Wash ington. Potpourri wrote to a friend in the capital the other day to inquire what she had been doing and hearing, and this week we had an answer. "All I know of Mrs. Eisenhower or Mrs. Nixon's day is ! what I read in the paper," White House trips for me. Did have a delightful and very glamorous time last week end though, when Adlai Steven son came to town to make the first Adam Clayton Powell Memorial address, under the auspices of the Unitarian church. "The speech was made in Constitution hall, a barn of a place, if you'll excuse, that holds 4,000. Every seat was filled and people had to be turned away. When he had finished, one of the best speeches he had ever made, the audience rose to give him a standing ovation. (If you'd like a copy of the speech, I'll get one from the National Demo cratic committee for you.) 'The speech wasn't too' complimentary. It said we could get over self-satisfaction and start aggressively tackling democracy's problems, if we wanted to survive. "Mrs. Eugene Meyer (of the Washington Post) gave a supper party after the speech. Justice William O. Dauglas was there with his wife, and Claire Engel, the new California senator. Poor Marquis Childs was almost mobbed with questions. He'd just come off 'Meet the Press' with Mikoyan,' and he looked bone tired. (The controversy of the value of that particular program rages here, with most saying Mikoyan made the press look foolish - it wasn't do-able under the program's format, etc.; etc.,) Neil McElroy, secretary of defense, came in looking tall and craggy, and Pearl Mesta, in pale pink satin with a wide bugle bead band circling the way-lowered waistline section, was busily asking for admiration for her new slim line. "I didn't eat the delicious supper, being afraid of losing my slim line, but did eat the chicken salad the next day at the Woman's National Democratic club. Adlai Stevenson spoke again, this time on his trip to Russia. I went over with Mary Ellen Monroney, wife of the senator (Mike) from Oklahoma. Again, it was jammed. Daisy Harriman was there - the indomitable suffragette. I don't remember how old I was told she is - I believe half-way through the 80's. Some one upstairs in the club was passing out 'grass roots for Stevenson in 60' penny postcards while he spoke, but none where he could see them so as not to evoke another loud disavowal of candidacy. "Was up on the hill (as they say here) for the opening of Congress and saw all the new senators sworn in. Also Lyndon Johnson's brilliant opening gambit on limitation of the filibuster. The galleries were packed and feelings excited and tense as Lyndon started his move across the board which he successfully ended several days later. There's no question, he's a master." How can anyone have the nerve to prophesy anything in these days - particularly in the field of women's fash ions? It is reported from London, where the spring fashion showings opened this week, that Victor Stiebel said "women never will return to the tight-fitting suit jacket." The English designers, always French and Italian, haven't deserted the loose-fitting line entirely; the French showed many tightly-fitted suits, which apparently prompted the Stiebel remark. According to the London report, Stiebel s afternoon and cocktail dresses had waists tightly wrapped in cummer bunds and "he even resurrected those stiff petticoats under neath the billowing full skirts of his short evening dresses." Well, they don't have to be "resurrected" in this part of the country. They've never gone out of style, particularly for, the very young. Almost every day one can see girls walking to and from school wearing winter coats which were never meant to cover the billowing skirts beneath. A young matron we know, with three growing children, has been hunting the town over in an effort to buy a new washing machine. Discouraged from the search she said, with some show of irritation, "They have too many gadgets. I don't want a machine that rings bells, runs up flags and plavs records. I just want a machine that washes clothes." -O.S. Waistlines 'Suggested' In New English Styles By ALINE MOSBY United Press International London -UPD- English de signers in their own cautious, conservat ive way, have brought back a suggestion of a waistline and longed skirts to their famous wool skirts. The parade of spring suit styles began in the salons of London's 11 top coutouiers with representative from New York manufatcurers on hand to buy designs for then spring line. By the time these quiet, almost timeless designs filter down to the copies in your own department store, your spring suit may have: Slightly indented waist line in front of the Jacket, burying the free-swinging "sack" line. Still loose hanging Jack ets in back. Jackets slightly below the waistline. Natural, unpadded shoulders. Narrow skirts a good two inches below the knee. The same o Id wrist freezing three - quarter sleeves. The French went whole hog away from the sack line with suits hugging the waist. But the English, whose ele gant suits even Paris can't beat, are playing it cool, with waists only slightly fitted. As designer Victor Stiebel said, "women hever will re turn to the tight-fitting suit Jacket," Stiebel, one of Princess Margarets' dressmakers, sa luted the waist in his collec tion with half-belts, in the front only, of the same fab ric of the suit and attached to it. You casually loop the melt and let the ends dangle, a crowded subway hazard. A n audience, including HELP US! Wt N tad Clothing, Shoes, Dishes, Furniture. W Pick Up. HELP OTHERS! The Salvation Army SPrinq 3-7335 she wrote. "There aren't any more conservative than the movie queens Vivien Leigh and Celia Johnson, jammed the Stiebel salon to murmur correctly calm English ap proval of timeless English tweed suits. Many were worn with chiffon blouses with a bow at the neck and floppy Garbo-type felt hats that gave the collection a vague 1930 look. In the dress department, Stiebel's afternoon and cock tail dresses had waists tight ly wrapped in cummerbunds. Fitted bodices brought the bosom out of hiding from last year's sack line. He even resurrected those stiff petticoats underneath the billowing full skirts of his short evening dresses.

I Cotxe 1 i 1 Italian. "Lasagna" With Rice We often forget that rice is an Italian food favorite and that much rice is grown in the Po Valley in Italy. This recipe uses rice in a recipe for a La-san'-ya-type dish. The sumptuous ' casserole is made up of .layers of tender white rice, creamy cottage cheese, succulent browned ground beef and a super tomato-mushroom sauce. Over the top is a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. IXGREDIENTS: 1 cup uncooked white rir- 2 13 cups water 2 teaspoons salt 1 lb. ground beef 1 teaspoon monosodium gluta mate I4 teaspoon black pepper 1 lb. creamed cottage cheese 2 cans (8 oz. each) spaghetti sauce with mushrooms (no spaghetti) 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese Woman Organizes Space Course For Yoi By MARY LOU ROWE United Press International Pittsburgh -OJPD- Well, na turally, it took a woman to think of the nation's first pro gram of space education for the younger set. She is Mrs. Jo Lee, of the Buhl Planetarium, who pro posed the program last April and promptly found that in terest in outer space is orbit ing among the 3 to 14-year-olds. Some 670 youngsters from all over the country en rolled for the "Junior Space Academy's" summer course. Mrs. Lee said this new in terest may have been started by television and comic books, but the real stimulus came from the satellite launchings. 1 Instructors say- the chil dren take their classes ser iously. They have shown an unusua1 amount of. under standing in space travel and astronomy. Parents report that the youngsters seek addi tional information through outside reading. Regular summer activities, such as camping, baseball, and swimming, have taken a back seat to ' space studies. One mother had arranged to send her son to camp for six weeks and even had paid the tuition. Then. the boy refused to go. He didn't want to miss that much time from the aca demy. Girls Interested Instructors reported that girls take as much interest in the course as boys. The young ladies march boldly up to the front of the classroom, but the lads stay far behind. So each day the instructors have to mix the group. Girls also keep pace with the boys in understanding the subjects and show as much talent in highly technical and difficult classes, such as tele scope making. The program includes group discussions, projects, and lec tures by experts in the fields of nuclear research and de velopment and education. Classes include space mathe matics, designed to encourage the youngsters in further Friday & Saturday SPECIAL!

At the end of the course, the academy will hold a space congress. Children will show their parents what they learn ed, and scholarships for fall classes will be awarded to outstanding summer students. There's no pulling the wool over the eyes of these future space men and women, in structors said. When the youngsters are in an astron omy class, they don't want a lecture on rockets. One staff assistant entered his classroom and began re viewing rockets and fuel. He drew a blank stare from the students. B e w i 1 dered, he switched his discussion to rocket formulas. Still blank faces. . if- Figuring the children were day-dreaming, the instructor asked if they remembered anything from the first lec ture. Said one little boy: "Sir, this is an astronomy class -not a rockets class."

Racket Washington, D. C. Na tionwide traffic in incubator reject eggs is a major problem currently under investigation by the Food and Drug Admin istration, according to a re lease from Arthur S. Flem ming, secretary of Health, Ed ucation and Welfare. Incubator rejects are eggs that have been removed from hatchery incubators when found to be infertile. Such eggs are in various stages of decomposition. Their ship ment for food purposes is il legal under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The Food and Drug Administra tion has served notice that it will seek court action unless the eggs are denatured before shipment by adding charcoal, kerosene, creosote, or some other material which will render them unusuable for food purposes. They can, of course, be used for industrial purposes, for example in the tanning industry. The FDA has known for some years of a growing rack et in incubator rejects, and there have been a number of court actions to curb it, the secretary states. Nevertheless, the traffic has continued to expand, and this year it has been active in all major poul try producing areas from Maine to central Texas. This is a clandestine type of business, characterized b y subterfuges such as cash transactions without written records, dummy corporations, aliases, and phony addresses. The eggs are picked up at hatcheries and transported. usually at night, to concealed processing plants where they are broken out and frozen in thirty-pound cans. To conceal decomposition, processors are resorting to use of chemical preservatives, pasteurization and dilution of the rotten eggs with good eggs. Currently for V'Y SPECIAL ONE!

S. marshals in some 15 different seizure cases, the secretary reports. Most of them are so-called 18-day re jects, obtained from hatcheries at a cost of about 7 cents a dozen. FHA estimates that the in cubator reject business in volves a minimum of three million pounds of frozen eggs. They usually sell at about 10 per cent below the market price for good eggs. FDA cautions the baking in dustry and other food proces sors to be wary of eggs offered at suspiciously low prices.
