Israel warned by truce chief against sturting another war

Abba Eban circulated among council members what his gov ernment claims are photostat- ic copies of Syrian army or ders to fire on Israeli fishing boats on the Sea of Galilee, along which Jesus Christ spent much of his life.
 A Syrian army spokesman in Damascus denied any such ins ructions had been issued.
 Israel claims all the water area of the inland lake. Syr- ian territory begins only a few miles back from the north east shore and commands the eastern part of Ithe inland sea.

Winter ,sturts off in wet and chilly mood today
by The Associated Press

NY 44AC 44OoOA40CC0 ! ~<hoD
 Northern California's heav- lest rain storms in IS years and bitter cold in the north east got the winter season off to a wet and chilly start today.
 An unrelenting Pacific storm, in California and Ore- gon. sent hundreds of families fleeing from their flood-threat ened homes, blocked highways and closed some schools. Ten communities were evac- uated in northern California. The entire population of about 300 moved out of Klamath, at the mouth of the Klamath Riv- CT. Others were Orick, Orleans Myers Flat. Klamath Glen, Hydesville, Weott, Fernbrilge, Pepperwood and Carlotta.
 A web of swollen rivers and streams cut the northwest cor ner of California into sloshy jigsaw pieces.
 In 'lthe north coast counties of Hu1mbolt and Del Norte, civil defense director Allen Ham declared "a state of emer- gency. Both were cut off from grousd travel by the storm.
 The Arctic air covering the northeast moderated somewhat in most areas but was even colder in others.
 Massena, in northern New York, had an overnight low of -25 III 2 degrees below the preceding day. Saranac Lake had a -32, same as on Wednes- day. Rochester dropped from 2 above to zero today, Syra- cuse climbed from 20 to 2 and Albany rose from IT to -8.

Count Your Cafories

Are you 8 typical dieter? Is
 your greatest problem that almost
 unbearable desire for food? If so,
 science has an important c0ntribu
 tion to make which can help you
 overcome that second helping"
 urge. It is the eCalorie Table
 This table enables you to lose
 weight and still continue in good
 health. afat i9
 Proper understanding of "calor-
 ic contentR not only makes your
 dieting easier, but also permits
 you small indulgences. For exam
 pie, if you are person weighing
 16O pounds, you must haVesa daily
 intake of 2,500calories Ito remain
 at that weight. Anything over that
 will accumulate pounds. If you eat
 one doughnut a day in excess of
 your calorie requirements, you will
 gain from 8 fo410 pounds in wear.
 If that doesn't sound Like much, re
 member this, the average adult should gain no more than 3/5ths of "a pound per year. n
 True, exercise,swill prevent cal sories from becoming unsightly fat, but are you willing to take enough
 exercise? For, example, if you eat an ice cream cone and thereby: ex- ced your requirements lbg 150 cal ories, are you willing toswash dish
 es for. 2 hours and 45 minutes?
 That's what it would take to keep that cone from turning into fat. It would take 2 hours and Is min
 utes of waving a baton to burn up the caloriesa of an !"extra dough nut If you're the typical white collar worker doing mainly mental labor, you'll haveAto work at your desk all day just to burn up the
 surplus calories in a cup of ! tea
 with sugar and cream, if it exceeds
 your calorie requirements. Not that coffee or tea will ever make you fat Any diet permits you
 to drink these beverages until you
 splash, but this applies only to BLACK coffee or CLEAR tea. It's the sugar and cream that are ta- boo. So, if you can allay your hun ger by drinking black coffee or clear tea go right ahead! You may even have little milk, if you don't overdo if. A slice of orange in tea is an excellent substitute for sugar and supplies bit of Vi
 tamin c, also. Soft drinks may be
 consumed in moderation but they
 contain sugar, in most cases, so count that sugar in your caloric chart.
 One of the oldest arguements against alcoholic drinks as weight inducer is that you never see fat alcoholic. That is true but only because they use alcohol instead
 of food. Normal persons, to whom 3 alcohol is an occasional accessory to food, must face the fact that all cohols do contain calories and will increase weight,
 Now, with the holiday season coming on. and the more than I am accustomed to indulgences ,practiced by many people, it be- hooves us to think of the calorie content of the "cup that cheers 7 Here is, a caIorie table for those who enjoy a drink with their din- ner: 1 glass of Book beer, 135 cal 0ries; 1 glass beer or ale, no cal ories; glass dry wine, 42 calories; 1 glass of sweet wine, 75 calories; l glass of champagne, 115 calories; l highball, 11s oz. whiskey, 12O calories; any collins drink, 200 cal ories and after dinner brandy, 70 to 75 calories.

"And Whe re doe s the hen come. from?n why, from an egg!" Then the lady inquired, (which existed first, the hen or the egg?n "The hen. of course," re joined the young man. "oh. then, a hen must have existed without having come from an egg?" The young man hesita ated and answered, nOh, no, l que ss I should have said that the egg was first."
 The kind lady studied the young scholar as she asked, Then I suppose that you mean that one egg existed without having come from a hen?" The young man was embarra ssed as he was without an answer, .and was further reminded, "The great Creator that made the Heaven and Earth made the first hen or egg, and If you will follow his commands that are recorded in the "Book of Books" you will have a "Peace of Mind" that your theory Of evoluti on will not offers"
