1t is true that many of the
most valuable exercises take
quite a bit of space. Even if
you have a fairly large living
room or bedroom you probably
will find that you must push
the furniture to the wall in
order to execute some exercises
you would like to do.
In a small efficiency apart
ment you haven't a chance so
far as some motions for beauty
are concerned. But, cheer up!
There are others which take
less space and turn the trick.
Today I will give you a couple
of them.
For the waist: Kneel on
both knees and raise your
arms overhead. Keep one arm
close to each ear as you bend
the trunk to the left. AS you
bend trunk to the left, push
the hips out to the right and
sit on your heels. Hold this
position for a few moments.
Now straighten up. arms still
overhead. Bend the trunk to
the right as you push the hips
out to the left and sit on your
heels. Straighten up. Con-
tinue bending to left and right.
In this exercise it is most
important that you keep your
arms by yours ears, so that
you bend your trunk rather
than move your arms. This
is a splendid exercise for waist
reduction.
For the abdomen: Lie on the
floor on your back, arms rest
ing on the floor overhead.
Raise the trunk and try to
touch the toes with the finger
tips. If you cannot touch the
toes, reach as far in that di-
rection as comfortable. Later
on. after you timber up you
will be able to touch your toes
unless you have extremely long
legs and only average arm
length.

It's Beef Again
Headliners at the meat
counters this week put beef as
the first choice. All kinds of
steaks will be featured by one
local food chain while others
will spotlight chuck and rib
roasts and boneless round
steaks. If you're looking for
something fast and easy. don't
overlook the handy packages
of frozen faxed beef steaks
in the refrigerated cases.
Veal is another good buy
with e asis on chops,
shoulder, leg and rump roasts.
Hams are always popular in
hot weather and you'll find
some attractive buys in both
the regular smoked and ready
to-eat varieties.
In fish, butterf1sh. green and
cooked shrimp are the out
standing values.
Fire Starter
Have you seen the new
shredded-wood fire starters
that come packed in cylin-
drical carton that later can
be used as a bellows to spur
the flame?
With all the outdoor cooking
that goes on these days, man
ufacturers have come to the
rescue with various chemical
starters" to replace kindling
or paper. These packets are
compact and clean, ignite i'm
mediately, and leave no odor
to harm the food. The COM
pany claims the package stores
safely anywhere, contains no
chemical liquids to explode or
flare up. They say you can
carry them in the trunk of
your car even under a scorch-
ing July sun without fear of
spontaneous combustion.
The same house has also
designed new vaporizer to re-
pei flying insects around the
barbecue area. A candle fame
heats a small can of repellent
which automatically disperses
the vapor throughout the at
mosphere to discourage the
little pests from hanging
around. Thus life is made more
pleasant for everyone.

Where are all the peaches
we usually see this time of
year," readers are asking.
I checked with dealers and
they tell me the peaches now
on the market are mostly
"clings" from North Carolina.
that it will be a week to 10
days before any amount of
freestones appear.
The peach crop is gong to
be short this year, however,
due mainly to the severe freeze
damage in all Southern States
this past spring. Supplies dur
ing July and early August are
expected to be much smaller
than usual. Prospects of a
good crop are forecast from
New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, but other Mid
die Atlantic States are below
average.
According to reports from
USDA newsmen, the fruit pic
ture isn't going to be as
gloomy as was expected in
view of the unfavorable spring
weather.
The supply of grapes. sweet
cherries, apricots and figs will
be above average. Slightly be-
low normal crops are indicated
for apples remember Hurri-
cane Hazel that wrecked so
many orchards in this area?)
and pears. Plums and prunes
were also hit by an early April
freeze and a short crop is ex-
pected.
Bartlett pears from West
ern orchards are just starting
to make their appearance.
Small berries are plentiful with
Jersey "blues" and black
berries the best values. Water
melons are rolling to market
by the carload Here's another
instance of overlapping ship
ments giving us extra-heavy
supplies. Southern melons were
late and are coinciding with
supplies from other areas.
New Style Berry jam
Have you heard about the
new "cold jam" that has Just

Another Miracle Trip Sought

With $500, Irene Meyer, blind
Gaithersburg woman, could re-

miracle" Because lifelong dia-

Meyers must visit Italy this
winter or she may never be able
to go.
Before she went blind six years
ago from her diabetes and what
she thinks was an x-ray techni-
clans mistake, Miss Meyer was

the slowness of braille reading,
she began collecting and listen
ing to classical and opera rec
ords. Music is my whole life
now"
In 1858 she went alone to Mil
an, Italy to hear the world-fam-
Gus La Scala Opera. Of her trip
she says, The heart and soul
of Italy is music. The people sing
all the time. They treated me
like queen instead of Miss No
body"
During the opera season she
met and became friendly with
Italy's leading tenor Mario Del
monaco. And it was in the sing
er's dressing room that the mir
acle" occurred.
Delmonaco was describing his
brilliant costumes for the blind
woman when suddenly she
snatched up the material and held
it close to her "-'-S. She could
tell the COLOR The entire opera
