Now you are giving your all tc
acquire or keep that summer fig
ure /and I'll bet that you are en-
joying it unless you are "glut-
ton" for punishment when it comes
to food and drinks-shall I say
But whatever the past has been
please keep trying to keep that
Easter-time feeling, figure, love,
dress, posture, and all else which
gave you that Charm for the great
est Spring Holiday-EASTER, and
if you do that you evaluate your
self, and that evaluation can and
will carry over to give you just
what you need for the hot summer
days to come. How about it? It's
up to you and you only.
This is Spring and just as some
folk advise special teas for building
up the body, so shall we advise
special exercises to do the same
but with the idea toward your be-
coming more and more charming
Start the morning out with the
stretching exercises such as arms
high over the head as if you are
reaching for the sky. Raise your
self high on your toes also. Repeat
these at least 20 times and see
the good you will get out of both.
Then try stretching or kicking the
legs as high as you can-first one
and then the other, also about 20
times.
Now try a little bending, first
from the waist-line to the side, fol-
lowed by the front bend toward the
floor and then going backwards af-
ter you have come or returned to
the standing position. These are
good waist-line 'feelers."
1t might be we'll hereto say that
rest, proper exercising, and proper
foods, along with cleansing rou-
tines will both add to your health
and Charm. So if you have an all
ment as so many refer to ills why
not try to use little Prayer with
the above stated and see how much
you can help yourself.
And to the younger set - tbs
Bride" time and you must keep
fit or get fit-so it's up to you to
do it and it can be done. Buckle

down to business now and see what
you can do by June when that down
The aisle might come off Oh
yes, would like to add that it is
most important that while we keep
thinking about the physical side
If life we must remember to enjoy
he best that we can through the
Spiritual" phases, because it's only
thru LOVE that we portray the
best HATE is dangerous and
DECEIT is worse, and both keep
any person from having CHARM.

fidence vote from his government
last week by seven points.
A vote of no confidence had been
proposed by former Premier Cen
eral Jan Christian SHUTS. The
proposal was defeated, IS to II, in
the house of assembly. Shortly
after, an amendment expressing
complete confidence in Malan
was carried by the same count.
SHUTS, head of the minority
United party, introduced the mo-
ton several days ago, while de-
nuoncing the present regime as
pursuing a fraudulent policy" in
relation to racial segregation.
SHUTS believes in segregation and
is generally known throughout
the world as a spokesman for
white supremacy, but he feels that
the present government is going
too far. The Nationalist party,
now in power, is forcing native
opposition to take a stronger
stand against the white minority
in South Africa, SHUTS feels.

The other day. the Associated
Press conducted a poll to deter
mine the best fighter Of the past
so years. They chose Jack Demp-
sey over Joe Louis by a margin Of
251-104. And how they arrived
at such a conclusion Is beyond my
comprehension.
1 never saw Dempsey. All /
know about him and his fighting
ability Is what / have seen in the
movies, and what I have heard
and read.
But the records of both fighters
are before me and, in the absence
Of actual competition between the
two, I can find nothing better to
go by.
Dempsey was heavyweight
champion from 1919 to 1925, when
he was dethroned by Gene Tun-
ney, a man whom the voting writ
ers could place no higher than
fourth.
In the seven years he was recog-
nized as king, he defended his
title exactly six times.
rs In IL Years
Louis held the title from 1887
until he retired indicated in
1949, a total Of IL years.
Over that span, Joe appeared in
% defenses.
Dempsey was often accused Of
picking his opponents and nam
ing the men who would referee
and judge his bouts. 1t is an estab-
lished fact that he lodged Harry
Wills, his No. l challenger for
several years.
Louis, according to Promoter
Mike Jacobs, never once ex-
pressed an opinion on the choice
of officials for his many bouts"
The entire boxing world has paid
tribute to him at one time or
another "for his insistence on
meeting any boxer considered
worthy contender for his title"
He not only met every available
foe, but he did "retakes" with OPP
ponents who left any question in
the minds of fans as to who was
the superior.
