Suburbanites watch their weight. Villagers and county people eat freely with out counting calories. No matter how you phrase it, 46 million Americans aged 15 and older want to slim down. These findings were re vealed in a survey of national Mrs. Flanagan Returns From Visit to N.D. Mrs. George Flanagan, North Pacific highway, Med ford, returned last week after spending several days in Far go, N. D., where she attend ed a birthday celebration for her aunt, Mrs. C. E. Webster, who was 95. Over 100 persons attended the ceremonies in Fargo on the Fourth of July, Mrs. Web ster's birthday. An open house was held. Mrs. Webster was the first telephone operator in that area, Mrs. Flanagan reports. She began her career short ly after the telephone was put into service there, some 75 years ago.

Cilllomla trade area, for over thirty yean eating habits made for the diet dressing division of Carter Products, Inc. In the survey, weight watch ers differed from dieters by cutting calories generally or avoiding fatty foods, instead of following a strict regime, either on doctor's orders or at their own discretion. Smaller families diet or watch weight more than larg er ones, the study showed. Lower income families are less interested in weight con trol than those in middle, middle-upper and upper in come brackets. Women are more diet-con scious than men. Of 4,500 per sons interviewed, 47 per cent of the women wanted-to lose weight but only 34 per cent of the men. Sixty-six per cent of the women who considered themselves overweight are housewives. More Men Overweight Men probably are more overweight but less concerned by it," said Charles A. Tuck er, general manager of the diet dressing division. "Near ly half the men interviewed who are overweight by actu arial standards said they ate as they pleased." Geographically, men's and women's eating habits are sim ilar until emotional problems or other worries, arise. Then, the" survey showed, women eat more but men eat less. Many men said their appe tites grow when they're hap py. Dieters also tend to cat more than usual when they're worried or tense, while weight watchers are as likely to eat less as more. Age often determines rea sons for counting calories. Fifteen to 30-year-olds want to look better and have their clothes fit better. Those 50 and older are looking out for their health. The study also indicated that younger women usually diet more in June, July and August. Older women diet more generally throughout the year. Reasons for calorie-counting vary seasonally. Heavy holi day eating triggers December and January dieting. March through May, the slimming down is in anticipation of sum mer's revealing attire. Come summer, the figure she cuts in a bathing suit causes many a woman to cut calories. ' But none of this is made easier by a practice revealed by the survey of using higher calorie dressings with higher calorie foods. The largest sin gle use for mayonnaise is in sandwiches, potato, chicken and tuna salads, and gelatin foods. Fat Report A constant threat to expand ing waistlines exists in lavish meals served by international airlines. But one line that serv es a low-calorie filet mignon dinner on request has few takers. Catering manager Rolf Bickcl estimates that 85 to 90 per cent of the passengers who order a la carte eat richer meals. Visits Fred Copsey, son-in-law of Mrs. Clayton Walker, 020 West 11th street, is visiting in Medford from his home in Kodink, Alaska. He will be here until next Monday. "I'm in the Navy," said the young man who sat next to Potpourri on the bus run from Centralia to Portland Monday afternoon, "And I hate it. I'm counting the days until I'm out." We commiserated with him and asked him what didn't he like about the Navy. "Everything," he answered promptly and then afler a bit of thought added, "I guess what gets my goat the most is the pettiness. They make such a stew about little, petty things that don't really count. And the things which are really wrong they just pass over." For almost two hours the two of us talked. The sailor who had been made into a barber by the Navy said he was from Chicago, not yet 21, the oldest of 10 children born into a Catholic family. When we inquired if his mother and father were able to "manage" such a large family he quickly said "You're darned right they can. Dad isn't above taking the strap to anyone who gets out of line. I've had plenty of licks in my day. And my Mom really knows how to run the house. Every kid big enough to work has his share of cleaning and believe me, if the job isn't done well, he hears from Mom. The young man said he began contributing to the family finances at the age of nine when he started setting pins in a bowling alley. "The folks took a third of everything I' made, and convinced me that it was right. I'm glad they did. I soon learned how much it costs to feed and clothe so many people. And I always had enough left to spend as I pleased. It gave me a sense of responsibility. When Potpourri inquired if he had gone to a Catholic high school, he said part of the time. "The folks sent me to public school for two years, but the school was so crowded that we were on a half-time schedule and I wasn't learning nothing (his words). So they sent me to a parochial school. It was a lot better than the public school." A comment about something along the highway brought out the remark "I know this highway by heart. I'll bet I've made the trip from Bremerton (where he is stationed) to Portland a hundred times." There could be only one answer to this a girl and Potpourri was right. When we pointed out that maybe he better marry the girl and quit spending so much time and money on the road, he replied "I can't get married. I haven t any money. Besides, she keeps saying 'don't hurry me. I want time to make up my mind'." As the pavement unrolled under the wheels of the bus, the reporter learned that'the sailor had only two weeks left. but that he had been granted several days leave. His grinning recital of the schedule he had been keeping in order to woo the Portland girl left us gasping. He had been granted week end liberty, left Bremerton Friday night and traveled all night to get to Portland, stayed in that city Saturday and until so late Sunday that he had been behind schedule re porting for duty Monday morning. Within the hour he had picked up his leave papers and was back heading south on another bus. "That's not all," said this determined young lover, "The minute I get back on the base from my leave in Portland I'll ask for and get another week end liberty and start for Portland again." I began to believe that if he had started this some time ago, he might indeed have made a hundred trips between northern Washington and northern Oregon in the past two years. There just remains one little question in this taxpayer's mind. When does he do his barbering for the Navy? . The young sailor and the not-so-young reporter didn't spend all their time talking about his efforts to be with his girl as much as possible so that she wouldn't forget him in the six months he plans to spend In Chicago right afler being discharged. (He wants to earn a lot of money and convince her they have enough to set up house-keeping.) , He told us about a movie that he had Just scon. It was about the possibility of an atomic war, what role Navy men would play in such an event, and what the results of such a war might be. "The officer (he gave his name, but we fail to remember it) told us that if Russia and the United States go to war, we can count on 50 million people being killed within the first five days. I don't think he got across to us. It's kind of hard to have a man tell you that, and then pick up the papers and read th Khrushchev and Eisenhower are talking big at one anuencr. Who's 'kidding whom? I don't get it. It wasn't so long ago that Russia was our ally in a war." The reporter assured the young man that he wasn't the only one who "doesn't get it" and admitted that the front page news frightens a lot of civilians, of all ages and in all positions. From war talk it was natural that we should turn to politics and the coming political convention and the young man said that since he wasn't old enough to vote, he hadn't given much thought to the coming election. However, he volunteered the Idea that It seemed to him the people weren't having much say-so in who the candidates were going to be. This complaint we heard any number of limes. And for some strange reason, although we talked about the coming convention with any number of people, we can't remember hearing anyone say they were supporting cither Kennedy or Nixon, The Democrats were for Johnson, Sym ington, Stevenson or half a dozen others, and several said "the whole darned thing was fixed In New York and Wash ington. What have we got to say about it, anyway?"

We saw Eastern Bonnet, a large, full pink; Duchess of Edinburgh, a pink with tulnl stripes in the petals; Summer Snow, a large double white; Silver Slipper, a white with a faint tinge of red coloring; Tu Tu, which true to its name, is a very full white and lavender that resembles a ballerina's short skirt; So Big, an HI with pink pointed sepals, pink flush and very long lobe and Fantasy, a blossom with a flat white corolla and sepals of pink and white flush. The HI and H2 on the tags Indicates that these varieties like a little more heat than others, we learned. Of course, the Lyons have the huge purple and red Voo Doo. Lotus, Waltz Time, Southgate, a favorite with this gardener although we've never added one to our meager collection. Another we saw for the first time was Jack Sharon-or maybe Sharon Jack, (we can't make out our scrib bles) which has a rosy red tube and sepals and a corolla of bengal rose. We also toured the Lyon's private garden and saw a clump of the enormous Oympic hybrid lily which has a gorgeous blossom and an utterly fascinating fragrance. Sit ting among the shrubbery was a big pot holding a five-foot fuchsia tree of the Cardinal variety. Mrs. Lyons says she has learned to convert the trailing varieties to tree fuchsias, and to trail the uprights. The Lyons have a trick worth knowing they cover the baskets with plastic, fitting them around the base of the plant and extending the cover only to the edge of the basket or planter. This helps retain the moisture. Beach bits: Now Mary, I told you to watch your brother . . . Well, I only had six hours sleep last night . . . Be lieve me, if Hilda said it, she meant it . . .

(UPI Telepholo) Woman Tells Problems of Being Taken for Actress By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - Elizabeth Dreg man Is growing used to people mistaking her for Elizabeth Taylor. One day, Mrs. Bregman Joked, she might be so famous costume mm Okj Pauley Jewelry de signer that the movie queen will be mis taken for her. The design er is at least on h e r way. In three and onc-lmlf years her firm" has grown from a staff of one -Mrs. Hrrgmann and a couple of New York outlets to 25 pro duction and office employees and sales in better stores na tionally. Mrs. Bregmnn Is about the same age as the actress and re members as a teen-ager seeing Miss Taylor In her first big movie hit, "National Velvet." "Even then," said Betty Bregman. "people said we looked alike." Today, the resemblance Is striking enough for fans of Miss Taylor to ask for Mrs. Bregmim's autograph and for fans of Debbie Reynolds to treat her as If she had taken Eddie away from Debbie. Sev eral have hissed, "home- wrecker." The designer has the samo blue eyes, heavy arched brows and Jet dark hair as the ac tress. Her flguro may be a little less voluptuous. She weighs 110 pounds, stands five feet four inches in her sock feel, and measures 37, 25 and 37. When Mini Taylor was in town recently to do some scenes for her new movie, "Butlerfleld 8," dozens of New Yorkers asked for Mrs. Ureg man's autograph. "I Just tell 'em, 'You've got the wrong gal' ", she said. The designer created quite a stir when she and her hus band, Martin, an insurance) company executive, weiil to see the movie "The Hut lluco" which stars Miss Reynold. "You could hear the buz. In the theater," laughed Mrs. Ilreginiiu. "I unos a lot of people thought, well, Miss Taylor's got a lot of nerve to do that." Does her husband re.ieinblo either the late Mike Todd or Eddie Fisher? "Oh lordy no." she said. "He's always being taken for Hock Hudson."
