Upset Stomach
got you
OUT OF FOCUS?
Here's winsome Zorada Johnson of Sarasota, No. 3 in the
Family Weekly series of "unknown" cover girls
"p a 'Miss Somebody' is supposed to be
I someone who has never done anything
before, I guess I qualify."
The 15-year-old girl who told me this
with a pixie grin and a good-humored
shrug of tanned shoulders actually had a
lot of qualifications as a family weekly
cover girl.
Her hazel eyes and full lips, for instance,
are a photographer's dream. When she
brightens into an infectious smile, the eyes
intensify in color, and the tiny pout at the
tips of her mouth lifts into upside-down
commas. And when she lapses into wistful
ness, the lips lower and the eyes grow dis
tant like those of a young girl who has just
finished reading "Camille."
But, as a father, I've learned never to
flatter youngsters too much; they're even
more susceptible than adults. So I just told
her: "Well, you're cute and that's an un
usual name you have, Zorada Johnson."
She smiled delightedly, as if I'd just paid
her a courtly bow. "My grandmother is
named Zorada, too, but she doesn't know
where the name comes from, either. I like
unusual names, don't you?"
When you're called Ozzie, you have to'
agree. But I was thinking how that pure
olive complexion would photograph under
the warm sunlight of Sarasota, Fla., maybe
beneath the billowing sail of a skiff.
"And it's unusual that your family is
native Floridian, isn't it?" I asked.
The head tilted pensively, and a soft nut
brown wave of hair slipped across her
temple. "Father he died three years ago
and Mother were born in Florida. I'm proud
we're natives of the state, but I'm glad so
many people are moving here. I learn about
every place else without leaving Sarasota."
We photographed Zorada in the course of
her day, lounging around the house in teen
age contortions, helping Mrs. Johnson shop,
attending ultramodern Riverview high
school, sailing with a boy friend, and
dreaming about being a cover girl among
a bedful of teddy bears.
Throughout the hectic day, she remained
that "photographer's dream," never stiff
ening or posturing just chattering the
kid's chatter that is as much a part of her
as the slim femininity of her figure or the
charming tilt of her chin.
"My grandmother and I keep house be
cause Mom works at a research plant. I
cook pretty well. Would you like to try
some of my cake?"
The cake was delicious. I resisted the
temptation to try seconds for the sake
of my not-so-slim figure. "Too bad," said
' Zorada, helping herself to another piece.
"I weigh 101 and don't have a weight prob
lem. Good thing, too, because I get awful
hungry for my own cooking."
"You'll make somebody a good wife."
"Some day," she replied matter-of-factly.
"But I don't even have a steady, though I
go out a lot. I love swimming, sailing, and
bowling, and boys are good at that, so I
date them. But I like housework even more
than sports, so I know I'll get married
some day."
But first Zorada would like to work her
way through college by modeling and be
come a dental hygienist. She has another
ambition: when old enough, she wants to
enter the Miss Florida Pageant held in
Sarasota.
"By then, maybe, I won't be a 'nobody.' "
I'm sure she won't. All she had to do was
crook that smile and toss those bangs, and
she became a Miss Somebody to me.

OILY SKIN
TO CHECK
STOP
PIMPLES!
Don't pick, scratch, squeeze
or merely "cover them up"
Doctors know that acne or pimples
are caused by the germ called the
acne bacillus. These germs invade
overactive oil glands in the skin,
cause blackheads and pus pockets;
then your skin "breaks out."
What's needed is (1) to dry up
the excessive oil that collects on
skin; (2) to destroy acne germs on
the skin, and (3) to stop itching and
irritation so pimples can heal.
A doctor's formula, liquid Zemo
has this effective 3-way action; also
keeps skin looking cleaner!
