Bald Eagle Play Area
Fund Drive Opened

The Washington Highlands Citi-
zens' Association last night oficially
opened its drive to solicit $2,5o0 from
families in its area to help finance
the Bald Eagle Recreation Area.
The area, which will have as its
center a remodeled building on the
site Of old Fort Drum. is scheduled
to be opened in late June. Emanuel
Blumberg, project chairman, an
nounced that a trial run" among
about 10 per cent of the families to
be solicited had brought in $725 and
that he feels confident the goal can
be reached.
Mr.. Blumberg asked that on May
% and % as many citizens as pos
sible volunteer their services to aid
in the actual work of remodeling the
building.
The group reelected Joseph v.
Moran as its president for the COM
ing year. Other officers elected were
Stephen Marinshaw, first vice presi-
dent; Howard A. Nessen, second vice
president: Mrs. A. K. Ramsay, re-
cording secretary: Mrs. Charles H.
Hagerty, secretary; Maury T. War
rem, treasurer; Mr.. Moran and
Charles Price, delegates to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.
In another action, a motion to

them more lyrically and, since he
lives in Hollywood, few get so many
lyrical opportunities as Jones.
His latest discovery is Earl Hayes
whose job strikes Jones as one of
the most fascinating in this country
of more than $4,000, 900 jobs.
Hayes work is that of printing
those newspapers you see in the
movies, the ones that in pictures
about Washington. come up with
such unfamiliar titles as The Wash
ington Chronicle or Courier journal,
anything but the one, or ones, you
read daily
The strange thing about these
papers, Jones wants to know, is that
while they have a circulation of
about 20 copies at the most, they
are among the most read newspapers
in the world. Hayes has a virtual
monopoly on this branch of the pub
fishing industry, which makes him
about the richest man in the world
In the ownership of newspaper
mast-heads. The movies never
think of anyone else when they
have a job such as this to be done.
Hayes, Jones writes, got into the
business q years ago, somewhat by
chance. Paramount was making a
picture with Estelle Taylor under
the snappy title of Speed Girl" One

Der of them built is that old river

Four of the more recent pools owe
their existence to a hurrying, busy
executive, who long has counted
swimming his favorite sport. For
him, an occasional dip wasn't
enough. He wanted to swim when
ever he felt like it in his of hours
and he wanted his family able to
enjoy his favorite recreation with
him. So in 1914 he built q pool
in his own backyard.
The idea to do so first came to
him at work when he noticed a
giant vat which his firm was about
to discard. He thought, why not
rebuild the vat as a small swimming
pool?
For him, to think was to act. He
had the vat removed to his home,
rebuilt and sunk in his backyard.
It measured % feet in diameter and
S feet deep. This made it all right
for a frolic, but hardly qualified it
as a swimming pool. 1t served in
1914 and 1945 and then, in the spring
of 1916, he ordered it torn out and
made other plans.
These grew as he considered
them. Two associates became in

OF course, you know the rule of
the greens. Treat salad green's as
carefully as you select them. Wash,
trim at once. Usually they will
stay tender and fresh several days
if wrapped in a damp cloth, waxed
paper or special container, before
storing in the refrigerator. Do not
fruit, uniformly prepared, and
place them directly on ice. A quick
way to clean lettuce is to cut out
the core or stem with pointed
knife, then allow cold water to run
into the opening. Drain well and
shake off excess water before stor-
ing. Watercress does better when
hidden from light and air after
washing. It does like its feet in
ice water, when 1t goes into the
refrigerator, with tent of wet
cheesecloth or waxed paper over the
leaves.

receive many letters like the fol-
lowing one:
Dear Mrs. Lowman: Could you
possibly provide me with some sam
ple menus of a diet designed to hold
the weight without either gaining
or losing or how to construct this
sort of diet for oneself?"
Another:
Dear Mrs. Lowman: I do not
know how to keep my weight where
it is once I have lost the necessary
number of pounds. I just go up
and down constantly. Please help
me-"
There are certain general rules
you can follow in constructing your
own diet. When reducing, most
women should cut their calorie in
take between 1000 and 1,400 calories
day. After you have reduced all
you need to, plan your food intake
to give you about 1900 calories a
day. Stick to this for a couple OF
weeks and see what happens. II
you begin gaining, cut back a little.
If you continue losing weight add
200 calories and watch the scales
Since individuals differ so in their
habits of exercise and their physical
makeup, you, yourself, can best dis
cover the right number of calorles
for you.
You would be very wise to con-
tinue few of your exercises, one for
the hips, one for the waist and one
for the abdomen, as well as a bust
firming exercise, and your neck and
facial gymnastics. Do this not only
because it is discouraging to bulges
but also because it will give your
health such boost.
AS a general plan, or the skeleton
of your diet, you can follow the
essentials of a good reducing diet
This consists of lean meat or fish or
fowl, an egg day or at least five
times a week, skinned milk, some
fresh fruit, citrus fruit juice. some
whole grain, green salad. variety
of green and yellow vegetables ano
baked potato every other day.
AS a rule leave off cream sauces
and do not eat fried foods or des-
serts. When you have finished your
reducing diet use this plan as the
backbone of your diet. It is an ex-
tremely healthful plan anyway
However, you can begin adding a
little more seasoning to your vege-
tables, and butter to your baked
potato; you may be able to afford 9
little gravy on your meat, and some
salad dressing on your salads. Yor
may even take a fling at dessert
once in a while without too much
figure damage.
/ However, if you allow yourself te
slip gradually back into those ole
/ habits of fried foods. cream sauces
i fat meat, whipped cream and gooey
dressings you are certain to find thu
scales rejecting it. If you will hole
