Obesity Disease
Which Should be
Treated

ObNaAA9 49,
Which Should be
Treated
BY HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN. NJ. D
OBESITY or overweight Is .
disease, and in spite Of its fire.
quency, it is a disorder that does
not as a rule receive the full at
tention it deserves. Overweight
persons have a higher death rate
than do normal people. The fire.
queney Of diabetes, high blood
pressure, disorders Of the heart
and kidneys as well as orthopedic
disorders, that is, conditions af-
fecting the bones, joints and mus
cles, is much greater among the
overweight than among those
whose weight is normal or even
below normal.
No one really wants TO be fat,
and yet once a person becomes fat,
he only too often does nothing TO
remedy the condition, and there
is no excuse for this, since obesity
not only can be prevented but
cured.
Output Of Energy
II q persons output Of energy
is more than his intake of energy
in the form of food loss in weight
will occur. II, on the other hand,
the intake in energy in the form
Of food is greater than the out
put the excess viii be stored in
fat. According to Doctor Yoshiro
Tara of Milwaukee, this rule sp-
plies even TO those persons who
may be overweight in part be-
cause Of some disturbance Of the
glands, such as the thyroid. 1t is
true that lack Of secretion from
the thyroid and pituitary glands
may be q factor in producing
overweight.
Doctor Tara does not believe
that heredity has anything to do
with obesity although many other
physicians think that it does. In
other words, to be fat does not
run in the family. Body build Is
hereditary. That is, the type Of
body makeup is often the same for
members Of family, but II is the
mode Of living and the eating
habits that have great effect in
producing overweight, not hered-
ity. When the members of a FAM
lily get into the habit Of overeat-
ing, everyone in the family be-
comes accustomed to it and this In
turn will lead to overweight
Middle-age Group
Habit also explains the fact
that persons in the middle-age
group are overweight more fire.
quently than younger persons for
the middle-aged have carried over
the habits of overeating which
they formed during their early
years. In addition, during the
middle-aged period, physical ac-
tivities become less strenuous and
this also contributes to weight
gain.
The treatment Of overweight
consists in doing two things, TO
cut down the intake Of energy and
to increase the output. However,
this is not always easy to do.
Exercises may be employed but
care must be taken that they are
not so strenuous as to overtax the
obese persons already overloaded
heart.
The most important part Of the
management Of obesity is a proper
diet and the diet must be strictly
adhered to. Even withthe diet, for
a period Of two or three weeks
there may be no loss in weight or
in some instances a gain in weight,
but when this initial period has
passed, q marked drop in weight
will begin to occur and the obes-
ity will then rapidly disappear.
The diet and other treatment is
always best carried out under the
directions Of the physician.

DEER IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA

west Virginia rejoice! The Vir-
ginia Whitehall deer had become
a traditional creature to many.
Legends were woven around ant
lers of deer shot by great grand
fathers and still hanging upon
the walls. But as far as ever see
ing one of these animals, there
had been no such thing until the
restocking program was launch
ed. The Virginia deer had been
exterminated in the Virginia
mountains.
The story has been often told
of how Virginia t sportsmen
caught the vision of what might
be done. The United States For
est Service and the Virginia
game commission carefully stu
died the country and mapped the
ranges in which there was food
and cover, and then. systematical-
ly went to work liberating the
animals on these ranges. Special
precautions were taken that they
be not molested, with the result
that the normal increase has re-
populated the ranges and in the
near future there will be great
deer hunting all over the west

Sportsmen of Southwest Vlr-
GINA have made plans for gala
celebration marking the forth
coming opening of legal hunting
seasons for deer in six Southwest
Virginia counties. In two coun-
ties farther north the season will
also open for the first time. In
most of these counties deer had
not been seen for SO years until
about 1g years ago, and now the
herds have been restored to the
point of warranting the taking Of
a surplus by the hunters.
Plans were perfected at Roam
oke recently for holding nine
meetings at selected points in
the southwest starting October
% and winding up Nov. /. Off
Gals of the Virginia game COM
mission and the United States
Forest Service will participate,
and the meetings have been ar
ranged by local sportsmen. Wild
life movies will be shown and,
all in all, there will be big do
ings.
Not only in the mountain coun
ties but throughout the state the
significance of the coming event
is appreciated. And throughout

Ancient Roman Remains
Mark City of Verona

Verona surpasses other northern
cities of Italy in Roman remains,
including one of the earliest thea
tiers, font of Partisan marble. parts
of a temple, bridge, forum, arch,
columns, aqueduct, city gate, and
other ruins. In e-Christian times it
was the birthplace and boyhood
home of Catullus. Rone's greatest
lyric poet.
In it's long war-torn history, Vero-
ma reached the height of its
magnifcence and power under the
rule of the Scaliger family, 1860
to 1887. The Scala palace then be-
came the home of famous poets and
artists, each having his own apart
ment and servants. Their work
adorns the many old churches and
museums. Banished from Florence,
Dante found temporary asylum
there; Petrarch was an occasional
visitor.
Crossed by seven bridges, the
swift-f1owing Adige river makes an
S-bend at Verona, with the city on
both banks. On the hills east of
the city are the Giusti Gardens
where cypress trees have reached
heights of 100 feet in four or five
centuries. A stair leads to terrace
overlooking the city with it's many
piazzas. The Piazza dele Erbe, on
the site of the Roman forum was the
center Of city activity. Before the
war it was a market place with
busy stalls for fruit and flower
vendors.
