cake, and in the evening another
big meal" Vera said.
How do they keep their fig
ures," I exclaimed.
Vera laughed, "They don't.
But I had to because when you
are skating you must maintain
your weight or you lose your
balance. Think what a tiny
edge is carrying your body! I
could tell the moment I started
to glide if I had gained"
How did you reduce?"
81 don't believe in taking re-
ducing pills. I think they go
against nature" she said.
What is your favorite way of
reducing?" I asked again.
Cutting down everything I
know is fattening and substitute
ing for it filling but low-calorie
foods" Vera replied. when you
have eaten heavily your stomach
stretches and you go through a
rough period when you get
hunger signals which you must
ignore. Part of a successful re-
ducing plan is bringing your
stomach back to normal. How
ever, I have a few mountaineering
filters which make it easier"
"Such asp" I asked.

tasty and keep a jar full of

I asked Vera to tell me what
changes the makeup men in
Hollywood had made which i'm
proved her appearance the most.
when you are skating, people
are far away and you have to
exaggerate your makeup. I had
very thick eyebrows and I didn't
realize what a difference they
made in my face until I started
making pictures and now they
are plucked thinner"
What is your favorite cos

BY Lydio Lone

HOLLYWOOD.-Vera RalSton,
who reached the top as an Olym-
pic ice skater, has made a re-
markable transition from athlete
to Hollywood glamour girl.
Last week end ! met Vera at
the Lakeside Country Club where
she plays golf regularly. We had
lunch together and I noticed
that she ignored the array of
tempting buffet dishes and asked
for a green salad and cottage
cheese.
I'm starting a picture soon at
Republic" she told me, land ]
have to lose weight"
do you have a weight prob
lem?" I asked.
"Yes, I dol" Vera exclaimed
with great frankness. II exer-
cised so hard while I was skating
that ever since I've given it up
I've had trouble keeping my
weight where want it,"
I asked if she had found other
difficulties in adopting a new Ca
reer.
Being the star of an Ice Fol-
lies and being the star Of a mo-
ton picture are very different, "
Vera told me in her distinctive
voice which has just a trace of
an accent. I'm skating it's en-
tirely up to you. There is the
ice, there is the music and the
audience sees what you do on
your skates. There is nothing to
go wrong like having stupid
script, an untalented director or
being badly photographed.
Making a picture is a Coop
eratiye venture and you must
learn to work harmoniously with
everyone on the set from the
electrician to the director"
you've had two successful ca
reers," said, asking for set of
rules which helped her climb to
the top.
Courage" she murmured
after a thoughtful pause. "You
must have courage to do what
you want to do, courage to face
yourself and admit it if you dis
cover you're not good enough to
get to the top.
"Once you are sure you are
travelling the right road you
must have discipline to accom-
plish your goal. When I started
to skate they soon discovered
that I could be a champ" Vera
continued. What I had to do
without! In this world you never
get anything for nothing but If
you love what you are doing
your work can be pleasure.
81 know this is true because
my family first wanted me to be
a ballet dancer and I didn't en-
joy dancing the way I did skat-
ing. The two are very similar,
but ice is faster and more dan
gerous. I loved the excitement of
it. In a spin you go at a rate
of 60 miles an hour"
I wanted to know the most
difficult thing she had to over
come.
Vera replied, "I have had to
eat less.
I'm Czechoslovakia we have
breakfast, a mid-morning snack,
a big dinner in the middle of the

these in the ice box or on the
set. I also find a Swedish-type
cracker satisfying but not fat
tening. Watermelon, when in
season, is very low calorically

119b Income Tax Cut
Ordered as Canada
Sees Billion Boom
BY the Associoted Press

OTTAWA, Feb. 20.-The gov
eminent. counting on a billion
dollar bulge in its booming econ
omy this year, has ordered an
II per cent cut in personal in
come taxes.
Finance Minister Douglas Alb
bolt. in placing the budget be-
fore Parliament last night, said
Canada could afford to slash
$243 million in taxes. spend
more and still balance the
budget. He estimated the value
of all goods and services pro-
duced by Canadians will increase
to a record $24 billion this COM
ing year, up 81 billion over the
past year. Canada's mining.
forestry and manufacturing in
dustries are booming.
The opposition Progressive
Conservatives aSSailed the budget
as an election year bid to return
the Liberal government of Prime
Minister Louis st. Laurent to
power. Most politicians expect
an election this year, October 5
being the date most frequently
mentioned.
Cigarette Taxes EaSed.
The budget slaShed corporation
taxes, eased cigarette taxes by 4
cents pack and cut out nuisance
taxes on checks and an unpop-
ular $3.50 license fees on radios,
besides providing a II per cent
cut in personal income levies
beginning July l.
j. M. mcdonnell, chief finan-
cial critic for the opposition,
complained that the budget gave
virtually no tax relief to lower
income brackets.
Canadian income taxes in the
lower levels tend to be lower
than similar levies in the United
States. However, no clear-cut
comparison is possible because
Canada has an important rev.
enue-producing tax which is not
used in the United States. This
is a 10 per cent sales tax at the
factory level on almost all goods
except food. This helps increase
the price of automobiles, stoves
and many other things over the
prices prevailing in the United
States and thus becomes in eff
feet an additional tax on the
consumer.
Some of the tax relief meas
ures go into effect Immediately.
BY July /. when the big income
tax cut will be felt, it is estimate
ed that about two-thirds of the
Canadian taxes imposed follow
ing the outbreak of the Korean
war in 1850 will have been re-
moved.
The new program eliminates a
10 per cent sales tax on news
print for domestic consumers
only, providing no reduction for
United States newsprint buyers.
It also trims an estimated 81
million a year in import tariffs
on manufactured articles, most
of them bought in the United
States.
Mr.. Abbott announced the tax
cuts of $237 million would re-
duce revenues to $4,473, 000. 900
and his surplus to $11 million.
The estimated revenues for the
fiscal year beginning April /,
however, will still top the 1852
SO record of $4,375,0 100000 de-
spite the huge tax slash. The
expenditure of $4,462 900. 900 for
the coming fiscal year provide
Just over So billion for defense.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-02-20

In the last fiscal year Canada
spent a total of $4,327, O00, 900.
Last year, the Finance Minis
ter forecast a SO million surplus
for 1928, but he now expects
to wind up the year on March
81 with an excess of nearly $48
million.
These SURPRISES followed II
consecutive deficits and have re-
duced the national debt from a
postwar peak of $13,421 900, 900
to $11,137.500,0O0. That makes
the per capita public debt in
Canada less than half of that in
the United States.
Parliament is expected to ap-
prove the budget with no sub
Stantial changes.
