BilltoAid
Mothers
Defended

Representative Roberts, Dem
ocrat, Of Alabama, said yesterday
he resented implications that his
bill to provide tax relief for work.
ing mothers was in any sense q
''baby sitter's bill"
Speaking at a Women's Ma
tional Press Club luncheon, Mr..
Roberts pointed out that similar
measures have been introduced
by other members of Congress.
His own bill, he explained.
provides that the Internal Reve-
nue. Code be amended by permit
ting a woman who is gainfu1ly
employed outside her home and
who has one or more children,
under Is years of age. living at
home, to deduct child care ex-
penses while she is at work.
The bill further provides that
the amount deductible shall not
exceed $40 of such expenses in
any week and that in no event
shall a deduction be allowed to
any taxpayer where the adjusted
gross income exceeds the sum of
$4,000 plus $500 for each child
with respect to whose care ex-
penses are deductible.
Since the bills introduction,
Mr.. Roberts said he has formed
the opinion that it should be ex-
tended to include necessary ex-
penses of caring for any depend
ent who is sick or disabled, such
expenses being made necessary
by reason of the taxpayers being
absent from the home at work.
He said it is grossly unfair to
allow business and professional
people "outlandiSh expenses
such as found in most expense
accounts while at the same time
denying legitimate charges paid

come.
The figures show that the
mother who works Is forced by
economic circumstances to do so
in order to maintain a home for
her children, the speaker as
serted.
II personally resent the impli-
cation that the purpose of my
bill is to make it possible for the
mother and father to hire a baby
sitter so they can cast of their
family responsibilities in order
to go nightclubbing or seek some
other form of recreation" he
declared.
Miss Ingrid Jewell. recording
secretary of the club, presided
at the luncheon, held at the

My=Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

I have two letters from read
ers before me. One asks. why
is it that when ! lose weight
I always lose in the bust rather
than the waist? This is exactly
what I do not want to do"
Another reader says, so long
as I exercise as well as diet
I lose through the waist. With
out exercise I lose through the
bust"
One letter partly answers the
other. If you do not exercise
you lose in proportion all over.
If you use special exercises for
out-of ratio spots, your figure
comes much nearer TO perfec-
ton.
There are also other advan-
tages to exercise. It tones the
body, thus avoiding that fiabby
appearance which often fol-
lows big loss in weight. It
stimulates circulation and helps
keep your face younger. If you
have large amounts Of fat to
lose you should do so slowly so
that your skin may have time
to shrink to its new proportions.
Another letter on my desk
today says, "For a number Of
years my weight has remained
at about 118 pounds. I have
gained only a few pounds dur
ing the past few years. (only
about 40 now). but my waist
measurement has increased
about an inch and my hip meas
urement about 3 inches. I have
been told that as, one gets older
she gets broader. Please tell
me about this"
This Is a matter in which
many women are interested. The
bony structure does not broaden
with the years but often the
pattern of weight distribution
does change. and a woman finds
herself with a new pad of fat
on her abdomen or bumps on
the upper hip in the back or
some other new problem, even
when she has not gained i'm
portantly at. ALL.
This is partly due to changes
in the glandular system and also
to lessening of physical exer-
else. The average woman usually
has dropped sports by middle
age and has not substituted 9TH
er forms of exercise for this loss.
The writer Of this last letter
is q stenographer and sits most
of the day. That. too. would
account for the office spread"
Women who do sit much Of
the time should take preventa-
tive or corrective whichever the
case). hip slimming exercises.
If you would like to have my
hip-reducing exercises which
will give you a loss of inches
in a few weeks time, send a
stamped, self-addressed envel-
ope with your request for leaflet

GROUP PROPOSES STREET LIGHTS IN NO, PALMER AREA

Palmer may have street lights.
 The former North Palmer Wat CT Association, now known as the Palmer Improvement Assoclao ton, has approximately SloOo thev have indicated they wish to invest in street lighting ln the North Palmer section.
 A committee of three, repre- senting the association, the city, and the Matanuska Electric As sociation have been appointed to work on the project. Representing the association is Ralph Moore the city, Al V. Hagen and MEA representative is Cy Brewer.
 Two tentative plans are being discussed, the committed report ed. Plan A would call for 15 mer- cury vapor lights in North Pal mer. Plan B would include light ing Valley and Colony streets from Kirk's Sales & Service as far south as Moose Hall, calling for 18 lights.
 The project is still in the plan ming stage, it was announced put tentative plans would call for poles to be set 300 feet apart, on one side of the street. Future ad- ditional lighting could be placed at 300 foot intervals on the op- posite side and provide the rec commended 150 foot space between poles in the business section.
 The Dodge Electric Company has been installing this type light for several businesses the past few months. The Coop area now has four; Koslosky's and Al flag en have one each and three others have indicated to Dodge they will install lights. The latter five would mean only 13 more would be necessary if the inter 9sted parties decided to use Plar B.
 Proposed plans would ask the city to underwrite the balance O. the costs. In either plan, the city would be asked to pay for the cost of operating the lights anc MEA would be asked to install the poles and service them.
 When plans are completed, anc approved by all parties, Palmer will probably be well on the way to a projected street lighting pro gram. Suppliers have indicated that these lights can be delivered within ninety days after order.

 A balance of $35.83 remains in the Community Chest treasury, following dispersments to various organizations, Miss Kellogg an- nounced.
 Thomas Mover, reported the Valley Health Council, who re- ceives nearly all it's local support from the Chest, will need addi- tional funds for the coming year, and although it has never been the policy of the Health Council to raise funds, permission was granted to enable the council to raise enough money to pay for car maintenance for the public health nurse. Major repairs will be taken care of by the Alaska Department of Health, Mover pointed out. The Health Council went on record as favoring flor ination of the city water system when and if the plan proves favorable.
 In making the Health Council report, MT. Mover pointed out that less than 509o of the repre- sentatives in the Valley are at tending meetings. It was suggest ed by a council representative that members who find they are no longer able to attend the meet ings ask to have someone else appointed in their place.
