Why Grow Old?
7 rim Your unnny
To Fit New Styles
BY Josephine Lowmon

Have you been looking as
! have at the current styles?
Have you noticed how snugly
nodded they are through the
waistline? Those long nodded
lines are most attractive and
f1attering II you do not have
a roll over the girdle and if
your turnmy is fiat!
OF course this does not
mean we are going to discard
the clothes we have or that
others will throw tomatoes at
us If we wear a dress with a
natural waistline. They are
more likely to throw tomatoes
at us if we appear in one of
the nodded creations, with a
waistline which measures 80!
Even If we are not going to
buy new clothes this spring,
1t would be nice to know that
we could look we'll in them if
we bought them. Fashion does
a great service to women in
two ways. It puts the pinch on
us in figure consciousness
quite often, and it adds vari-
ETY. to our lives.
Lasting Styles
If you buy good classic
clothes, expensive or inexpen-
sive, you can wear them for
years, let fads come and go. at
least I do! can't afford to
do anything else. laugh every
time I think of one of my ex-
periences in clothes.
/ was going on several lee
ture trips one fall, and let's
face it, I had to have clothes
which do something special for
me. I got them but the price
was special also. I ended up
shopping at the super market
for bargains in tomatoes in g.
luscious Hattie Carnegie suit.
A friend who went along with
me said. 30. ! just cannot un-
derstand how you can wear a
suit like that when you go to
buy groceries"
/ replied, perfectly honestly,
"After buying two or three of
these outfits. with all of the
accessories, I have no money
left for just plain everyday
clothes"
I can see that I have been
led a stray by nostalgia
thoughts-away from the prob
lem of reducing the waistline.
These thoughts really are not
nostalgia. They are on my
door step right now, and there
is no welcome mat outside. Do
you have the same trouble?
Exercise
The widening waistline de-
pends not only on an accumu-
lation Of fat at the waist. but
also upon lax abdominal mus
cles and pads of fat on the
abdomen and on the dia-
phragm. Here Is an exercise

A-War Would Hit West Europe, Russian Says

He warned that if Russia Is
attacked with atomic weapons,
bombs will not fall in the thinly
populated north.
LAS is known" said Gen.
Talensky, "the aggressive circles
which are preparing an atomic
war are not going to carry 1t out
in the Arabian deserts nor the
pampas of Argentina and not
even in our Siberian taiga
forests. They are going to
develop it in Europe with its
densely populated areas"
Gen. Talensky said Americas
West European allies who pro-
vide bases for American planes
endanger their own populations.
He sought to comfort the
Soviet people with the claim
that Russia would not alone be
devastated in an atomic war
because she herself possesses
the same weapon and has no less
skill than capitalistic countries
in applying it,"

Mr.. Malenkov accused Western
imperialists" of preparing q
fresh world carnage" and added
that a new war with modern
weapons would mean the ruin of
world civilization"
Gen. Talensky based his dis
cussion of atomic weapons on re-
ports that the North Atlantic
Treaty Council and American
strategists bank more on the
newest weapons than on massed
armed forces. He disputed claims
that atomic guns can easily be
used by field armies and as
serted that atomic warfare will
spread the zones of fighting.

plants, such as issuance of bonds.
The President replied anyone of
several methods could be used
but that he would await TWAS
suggestions.
Remarks on Other Topics.
Other topics on which the
President commented included:
/. Extension of the Reciprocal
Trade Act. He does not plan to
modify the recommendations he
made to Congress and sees no oc-
casion for any compromise ar
rangement whereby some other
part of the administrations do
mestic program might be
dropped in exchange for action
on the trade agreements legis-
lation.
2. Federal housing. The Presi-
dent said it is highly desirable
that the country have complete
confidence in FHA. He reported
that progress is being made in
clearing up previous scandals and
restoring public confidence.
8. Bipartisan cooperation. The
President said Democratic con-
gressional leaders have been con-
suited on the highway building
program to be submitted to Con-
gress, and on the projected cut
in Army manpoWer.
4. Standby Controls. The
President said standby power
to freeze or otherwise regulate
wages and prices might have
some advantages in putting such
authority on the statute books
for immediate use in event of an
emergency. He said he could
live with such authority if
granted by Congress, although
he did not regard the matter is
being of overriding Importance
at this time.
