SITCPAV, JTO 2t. 19S9 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FAU-S. OREGON AGE 7 C Overstuffed Minister Repents And Reduces dayto. o. "My my gluttony children vis going la turn Into orphans. " It wn i simple that. savs the Rev. Edsel F. Pugh. Realita tion of this grisly fact was the turning point for the Dayton pas tor who had stuffed hiimelf to a daggering iS pounds. In nine months, after his doctor had warned him hed die voung unlets he lost considerable weight. Mr. P u g h took off 98 pounds. Like countless other Americans battling the problem of obesity. J the pastor of Hillcrest Brethren j Church put off doing something j about this threat to his physical ! well being. "Sometime tomorrow next week next monih. I would begin to diet," Mr. Pugh always told "himself. As a minister, he says. his "intemperance was a thorn in the fleeh." ) The road to gluttony was an easy one. For S-foot--inch Edsel Pugh it began when he. as a aludent pastor serving the rural churches in Kentucky, and his wife Ann spent weekends with the church families. Says he: I "They fed us to the point of misery. We sampled every variety of- rich Southern food and loved it." i To one particularly fine cook who knew his weakness for South ern fried chicken and old Ken tucky ham. he often joked: "When I 'die. you can always say, '1 helped kill that hey.' " Mr. Push's diet then and later, - after he took over the Dayton 1 pastorage, "must have exceeded i S.OOO calories." He ignored, even rekenled the advice of friends. , As the clergyman looks back on , the period before his diet, he realizes he was in "constant stress from psychological, as well as physical symptoms. I had lost my elf respect. I was always tired and consequently unmotivated. My work lagged and I found no aense of satisfaction through ac complishment." ' His doctor started him on a rig Id diet. For 14 days his only food was 20 ounces of liquid formula dextrose, evaporated milk, corn oil and water. After three or four days, he says, it felt good to be empty. .- In seven days he was desper ate But he lost 17 pounds in the, two-week period. This gave him incentive to go on a 1.000-calorie diet for the next seven and a half months. Then his calorie al lowance was increased to 1.200 day. . Going about his church duties and attending frequent social events. Mr. Pugh says at first it was difficult. "At dinners, 'til people realized I was serious, they pushed food on me. Sometimes we could arrange m advance whai I " eat or not eat. Otherwise, I just dispensed with food." The minister credits his wife with much of his improvement. They made a rule that she and the children would continue their normal eating habits but he would stay on his. diet. She, however, sometimes made allowable sub stitutions for him when the going got rough. "My family made certain I did not forget the diet by placing a small ceramic devil m front of my, place at the table. Our chil dren constantly warned, 'You aren't allowed.' " Now, however, 10-year-old Mark. 7-year-old "Fleety" and J year-old Martha have a new pal. Dad en joys outdoor games as much as they do. No longer .exhausted by his Fx cess pounds. Mr. Pugh has new energy and new interests. He and his wife go in for antique hunting and furniture refinishing. . mi y Party Honors Tulelake Family TlXELAKE The Bob Briasen-ing their two year stay in the den family was honored with a Tulelake Basin.
