How To Keep Your Weight Down
One of the most prevalent fads in America today is dieting. And
understandably, with all the emphasis on obesity and health. It has
been estimated that one out of every five people are overweight.
Unfortunately, however, many people don’t fully understand what
is involved in losing weight. So many of them try the “guaranteed"
$2.98 bottle of pills which tells ♦
them to go on eating as before,
leaving the reducing chore to the
“magic formula” of the pills.
Whatever else these “magic for
mula” pills accomplish, they will
not “magically” take off weight.
The only sensible way to lose
weight is to eat less. Exercise
helps mainly in keeping your
muscles firm and your body in
condition. But eating less does
not mean to go on a radical diet
of one or two low-calorie items to
starve the extra weight off.
It is a medical fact that each
of us is different in our makeup,
that each of us utilizes food in
varying degrees of efficiency.
Therefore, every person should
consult his physician before go
ing on a diet of any kind, for it
may be that you should not, for
reasons unknown to you, under
take a diet.
Frequently a middle-age man
will tell his doctor that despite
the fact he doesn’t *eat more now
than he did when he was an, All
State fullback in high school, he
continues to gain weight. This
may be true, but it may also be
true that his body demands less
energy now than when he was
“lugging the pigskin”. As a con
sequence, less of his food is used
for energy and more for body fat.
As we grow older, two basic
changes take place: 1) we have
less physical activity and 2) our
metabolism — the function that
converts food into “building
blocks” for the body — decreases
in efficiency. But because these
two things vary from person to
person, only a physician, after a
thorough examination, can intel
ligently prescribe an eating pro
gram that is adjusted to your
own particular needs. The great
danger in self-imposed diets is
that they are usually started to
lose weight, without much con
cern for general health and main
tenance of proper energy for
—d
everyday activities. While it is
true that obesity might be the
cause, or a contributing factor,
in certain ailments, only a quali
fied physician can determine the
rate and extent you should lose
weight.
Aside from what your own doc
tor might prescribe, there are
certain things you can do right
now if you have a weight prob
lem:
1. Examine your reasons for
eating more. Are you emotionally
upset? Are your living habits ir
regular, thereby causing irreg
ular eating habits?
2. Make certain your diet is
balanced, that it includes every
day at least one food from the
seven basic food groups.
3. Don’t eat between meals.
Don’t take that extra portion of
known high-calorie foods, such
as rich desserts.
4. Maintain good physical con
dition. Mild exercise on a regular
basis is probably better for you
than vigorous exercise at infre
quent intervals. Walk more.
5. If you are past 40, arrange
with your family doctor to have
an annual checkup and a discus
sion of your eating habits.

American Ambassador
Advises Irish To Stay At
Home And Learn
LIMERICK, (S)—Scott McLeod,
U. S. Ambassador to Ireland, ad
vised the Irish yesterday to stay
in Ireland instead of emigrating
to the United States.
“Ireland has a great future,”
he said in an informal talk to j
Irish school children, “if the en- |
ergies of citizens are directed to!
.improving Ireland, instead of
other countries, like the United
States through emigration.”
The former State Department
Security Chief told the parents
they should be glad their children
were being educated in Ireland,
“away from the so-called ‘pro
gressive’ education at present
sweeping America, where child
ren are taught to be poised and
well-adjusted, but are not taught
to write or spell properly.”

Diefenbaker’s Conservative Party
Wins Canadian House Of Commons
Election By A Land-Slide
TORONTO, UP) — Canada was
amazed Tuesday by Prime Mini
ster John Diefenbaker’s political
triumph which shattered the op
position in Parliament gnd placed
his Conservative Party in com
plete command with the biggest
majority in history.
Monday’s general election—the
country’s second in 10 months—
gave the Conservatives 209 of the
265 seats in the House of Com
mons for a new record.
With 8ft per cent of Commons
to back his policies, the 62-year
old Prime Minister will be in a
powerful position to rule as his
party wills for the next five years.
MASKED MAN WHIPS
AUSTRALIAN PRISONERS
WITH CAT-O'-NINE-TAILS
MELBOURNE, Australia UP>—
A masked man today gave two
prisoners at Melbourne’s Pent
ridge Jail 12 strokes each with
a watersoaked cat-o’-nine-tails.
Murderer William John O’
Meally, 37, and gunman John
Henry Taylor, 27, were whipped
for shooting at a guard during an
escape attempt. It was the first
such whipping in this area in 15
years and was a hot political is
sue during the trial of the two
men.

The largest number of mem
bers any party ever had before
was the 190 seats the Liberals
won in 1949. Since his sur
prise victory last June, Diefen
baker had been governing with
only 113, 20 less than a majority.
The Prime Minister swung into
action immediately. He announ
ced he was calling Parliament
back into session at the earliest
moment to tackle the unemploy
ment problem which he described
as the No. 1 issue before the
country.
There was no pat explanation
for the runaway vote. Diefen
baker had been generally picked
to win a majority in the House,
but not even his most ardent sup
porters expected such a sweep.
Liberal Leader Lester B. Pear
son, former Foreign Secretary
and winner of the 1957 Nobel
Peace Prize, expressed deter
mination to rebuild his battered
party for the future. Pearson
retained his own seat in Parlia
ment.
“We are disappointed, but not
discouraged,” he said. “We will
regroup. We will go to work
and do the best in the future to
reverse the result.”
