woman OF tha at height should
weigh.
Proportional Weight
The way to be the normal
weight for your structure but TO
look and feel ultra-slim is TO
streamline your measurements.
Again there is no standard for
given height. The important
thing is to have measurements
that are in proportion TO each
other.
Ideally, the waist line should
be from eight TO 10 int h es
smaller than the bust and the
hips should not measure more
than two inches larger than the
bust.
Take your measurements and
see how they tally. First circle
the tape across the center of the
breasts to get the bust measure
ment. Then draw the tape COM
fortably snug around the waist
but don't squeeze. To measure
the hips, keep the tape level and
circle IL about the largest por-
ton to include the derriere.
Average Figure
If your figure is just average,
you may find that you need TO
slim from three TO four inches
off the waist, an equal number
off the hips and TO improve
the posture and bust-but don't
be discouraged. You can have
beautiful proportions. All you
have TO do is stick with the diet
and exercises given in this
series.
Women no longer accept
niddle-aged figure as inevitable.
No one has to put up with ugly
pounds and disfiguring inches
and the 81 m woman is both
lovelier and healthier.
Tomorrow's article will tell
you some OF the posture tricks
that slim off inches.

Harmony in
Home and
Costume
By ORRl KELLY
Famous Hollywood Stylist

THERE Is no reason why a
woman should overlook a single
trick 10 enhance her lovelineSS
and the selecting of costumes
that harmonize with the back
ground of her own home is one
certain way Of doing il. and the
way that all Hollywood stars are
wise 10.
This urge 10 set beauty in a
lovely frame was launched with
technicolor. Gowns designed for
color films had to be in shades
that would blend with the back:
grounds. The stars involved
found the idea Irresistible and
promptly carried it home.

At Bridge
And at a recent bridge lunch
con in her modernistic apart

satin trousers.
Brenda also carried out her
green and white theme IN lunch

about this party for weeks.

Report Shows Federation's
Interest in Airport Site

The long standing interest Of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions In the construction of mu-
nicipal airport, with the possible use
of Gravelly Point as the site, is re-
vealed in an old report that the late
Mai. Clayton E. Emig made as act
ing chairman of the Public Utilities
Committee of the federation In
May, 1927.
Following a series of public hear
ings held in March and April of that
year, in which a number of promi-
nent civic leaders and Government
and air officials testified, Maj. Emig
wrote in his report:
There is probably no question of
the fact that majority of the ex-
pert airmen, especially at the first
and second meetings, favored Grav-
ely Point as the model location for
model airport.
These gentlemen" he told the
federation, were not only Jealous
and persistent that, notwithstand-
ing the delay in preparing the place,
and the cost of dredging, the near
ness to the business center and the
accessibility from Gravelly Point to
all points in the business center. the
| large extent Of available virgin
lands, free from Objectionable struc-
lures for future use, as well as the
excellent flying conditions, due to
the absence of ravines and hills, far
outweigh all objections to the delay
In preparing and the cost Of dreds.

Evening star., 1941-08-03

The report, which was adopted
unanimously did not, however, ac-
tually recommend site, stating
that the committee preferred to
leave "the actual selection or rather
its recommendation of any particu-
lar site to the Commissioners or the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission"
The principal sites discussed by
the report were the Benning race
track, Gravelly Point, the Steel
plant and Buzzards Point.
THE chief objection to Gravelly
Point" Maj. Emig said in his re-
port, seems to consist of the dis
tance from the Union Station and
the City Post Office, and the heavy
traffic over the draw bridge" The
report cited other objections, includ-
ing the nearness to the well-lighted
portions of the city, which might
confuse pilots landing at night.
Admitting the seriousness to the
objections to the site, Maj. Emig
said that his committee recon-
mended that ''the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and
the District Commissioners use
every effort to concentrate all fill-
ings and dumpings Of suitable ma
terials and appropriate the $350,000
sought to transport its dumpage to
Gravelly Point :" to the end that
in the near future an ideal airport
may be established at Washington
for all land, sea or lighter-thau-air
ships landing place"

Cheese Plant Manager Gives
Timely Suggestions As 10
Quality OF Milk Production
By LEVERN JOHNSON

Each year we find that some
new laws have been enacted in
regards to the sanitary production
and handling Of food products.
These laws are brought about by
consumer demand. Consumers are
becoming more and more quality
conscious; therefore, if we are to
increase the sales of the products
that we have from our farms then
we have to study how to improve
the quality of the products that
we are producing on our indiv-
idual farms.
During the last few years dairy
ing has become more and more
popular in the state of North Car
olina. We have the opportunity
here in Ashe County to produce
quality dairy products superior to
those manufactured in any 9TH
er state.
Neighboring states have already
passed some very drastic laws
regarding the production of clean,
high quality milk for the prod
uction Of manufactured dairy
products such as cheese, butter,
condensed milk and ice cream.
We do not know how soon this
will take place in our territory
but we do know that we can ex-
pect it to come some time in the
near future. Therefore we want to
assist our patrons in putting their
house in order so that when it
comes here we will not have any
thing to worry about.
We will endeavor to take a sedi-
ment test of every patrons milk
at least once a month and send it
back to them for inspection so
that they will know how their
milk compares with, the standards
that have been set up. We hope
that no shipper will take this as
B criticism of their Individual
milk supply but rather as an edu-
cational program. We do not
want to reject or send a can Of
milk back as we want all the VOL
ume that we can get. The milk
hauler does not want to bring a
can of milk back because he has
had to haul that milk both ways
and does not get any hauling bill
and surely it is not profitable to
you as producer as it is direct
loss to you.
The production of quality milk
is not hard thing to do. It is SIM
ply putting into everyday practice
some very simple rules. One can
not do good work of any kind
without good materials and good
equipment. In just the same way,
