Ladies Of 40
Need Not Fear
Reducing Wrinkles
BY Eta Arnold

Many women, especially If they
are on the shady side of 40, OBJ
ject to a reducing regime because
they fear wrinkles. That is a
perfectly reasonable fear. Who
wants to look haggard in the face
Just for the sake of a simmer
waist line?
Unfortunately, reducing got
itself a bad name rs or so years
ago because of fad" diets. The
banana and skim milk diet, does
anyone remember that idioCy?
Women did lose weight with that
kind of diet, but they very often
lost their looks, and in some cases
even their health.
Today we know better. Nutri-
ton as a science has come into
its own. Along with our increased
knowledge about foods and their
nutritive properties, we know
that it is possible to reduce and
become more vigorous rather
than to reduce and lose health.
We do this by reducing on a bal
anced diet.
You want to reduce, but you
fear its effect on your face. Come
now, do you really fear wrinkles,
or are you looking for an excuse
to keep on overeating? After
giving yourself an honest answer
to that question, your may pro-
coed to solve the problem.
To keep away wrinkles. you
want to go after weight loss on
slow, sustained basis, say one
pound a week. A pound week is
not to be sneezed at. In a month
you will be four pounds lighter;
in two months youn be eight
pounds off. And what a big diff
ference that will make. You'll be
able then to wear a size smaller
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1950-11-17

dress.
Then do you want to eliminate
fats from your diet entirely. Just
cut out fried foods, go easy on
vegetables cooked with meat,
avoid excessive amounts of salad
dressing. But get a small amount
Of butter each day. about two
tablespoons. In a balanced reduc-
ing Diet, there are few items to
cut out. You just cut down on
practically everything.
Finally, you must take very
good care of your skin. Those half
filled jars of expensive creams
that you bought in a weak mo-
ment but never finished using will
now become a must" every night.
You don't have to go to bed look
ing like a bacon rind either. After
20 minutes wipe off the excess,
leaving a thin film of cream on
your skin. BY following these
three simple rules, it is entirely
possible to reduce without wrink-
ling.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1950-11-17

without interruption. More than
that, they are examples Of the
still rising" Gamers distinctive
musical thought and improusion.
Such tunes as My Heart Stood
Still, Long Ago, Poor Butterfly,
Spring Is Here, II Could Happen
TO You, are done in that langor-
ously dreamy mood for which
Garner is famous. They are inter-
Spersed with the bouncified When
Johnny Comes Marching Home,
When You're Smiling and I Don't
Know Why. On the latter three,
the Garner hallmark-the delayed
right hand beat which. when
combined with the bass and
drums, takes on the sound Of a
guitars strongly in Evidence.
Incidentally, this marks Errolrs
debut ON the label (Columbia).
Garner is also on the Jazz SER
.es of another label, with the
oouncey minor keyed and ehorded
I May BE Wrong. and the slow
tempo'd flowing romantic styled
No Greater Love (Atlantic).
Another LIP instrumental that
calls for applause Is the Harry
James orchestra in the Your
Dance Date" series. Like Garner,
who has had five other LIP plat
ters issued. this marks Sir James
fifth signpost in the long-playing
field. Earlier triumphs were, all
on the same label, Trumpet
Time" "All Time Favorites,"
Young Man with the Horn" with
Doris Day, and Dance Parade"
In their latest vehicle, James
and crew have selected seven
favorites Of dancers, two Of which
ring a special bell Big Johns
Special and New Two O'Clock
Jump, a revamped version Of the
earlier Two O'Clock Jump"
which, incidentally followed the
Basic classic, zone O'Clock
Jump. Another hot item IL
Squatty Roo. On the smooth side
there are Sweet Jenny Lou, These
Foolish Things, Deep Purple and
In Mist (Columbia).

How To Lift The Fallen
BY william Henry Huff

If you would help those
farthest down
Take pride from off your self;
Be you the humblest one in

In fact, forget yourself.
Your nose should point toward
the earth
On meeting every man.
Be ne of high or lowly birth
This is the only plan.

SPRINGT1ME CALLS FOR
A PUBLIC PLAYGROUND
FOR THE CHILDREN

Although winter has not come,
spring cannot be far behind. Then
the children of Clintwood will be
playing on the. streets and in the
alleyways. Normal children have
to play because their instincts
and their overflowing energies
demand it.
A public playground, modestly
equipped and supervised, would
be the project of greatest value
to which the civic organizations
of the community could dedicate
themselves. Such playground
would keep the children from
making nuisances Of themselves
and would give them satisfying
and Wholesome experience. II
there are people in the town who
really wish to do some good (and
surely there are) there is an OPP
portunity for them in this field.

Is on insurance Company
Entitled TO Know Your "Post?"

An ex-convict took out a $4,000
life insurance policy, stating on
the application that he had been a
carpenter for the past II years.
AS matter of fact. he had spent
most of that time in Jail. Soon aft
erward, the man was killed in
gun battle with police. His widow
claimed the insurance. but the
company refused to pay because
of the misstatement on the applica.
ton. She then sued for the money.
arguing that the misstatement was
"just a minor technically" How
ever. the court turned down her
claim. The judge said that the
company might not have been so
willing to issue the policy in the
first place, had it known more
about the mans past.

A HERO OF KINGS
MOUNTAIN SLEEPS IN
UNMARKED GRAVE

The dust of the only Revolu-
tionary War soldier ever buried
in Dickinson County lies in d
grave that is almost unknown and
barely marked. Although the
descendants of this soldier OF
Kings Mountain are legion, it has
seemingly never occurred TO any
of them that the grave of their
ancestor should be marked and
preserved.
There was mighty stir among
the mountain men nearly two
hundred years ago. Colonel Fer
guson, OF the British army, was
coming with his English regulars
and Tories to hang the leaders
and to ravage the homes of the
mountaineers. John Mullins took
down his rifle from the walls OF
his house on Big Toe River
North Carolina, and marched
with the grim Major Cleveland tc
the foot of Kings Mountain. There
gathered the followers of the
dashing Sewer, the cool Shelby
and the determined Campbell
Ferguson was left dead on the
field, and all his host had melted
away.
y =. -
That is the history. There re-
mains the future. 1t will be more
than two months until Memorial
Day. The descendants of John
Mullins should get together ano
plan to save the remains f theii
ancestor from oblivion before
tina. time. They would do we'll to
learn to know each other Who
