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."

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

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."

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,

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.

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

Food, Drug Administration
Investigating Egg. 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

about $60,000 worth of the
frozen eggs are in the custody
of U. 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.
