with overweight people, and with
people who may not actually be over
weight but who would like to be
fashionably simmer. The dieter today
may choose from a variety of diets
publicized in the press, on the radio
and TV, diets with enticing names,
diets that run the gamut from moth
ing but steak to liquid formulas
similar to those one feeds the baby.
The dieter never had a wider choice.
But this is just the problem. Many
of us who want to lose weight are
likely to pick diet because it sounds
easy, or because it promises miracles.

HEALTH FOR ALL
DieterS Beware

Only two generations ago plump
ness was not considered unattractive
at all-on the contrary, the plump
girls had it all over the slim ones.
But today athletic, active America
has decided in favor of the slim
figure-for men as well as women.
And America is right, but not only
for reasons of beauty. People who
are overweight tend to be subject to
more, and more serious, illnesses than
those whose weight is appropriate to
their build. Keeping fit and trim is
good sense.
So the diet has become popular

BY WARREN BENNETT
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The
trend of corporate bond prices
wound up slightly higher this
week while Government bonds
eased in some of the dulleSt and
quieteSt trading sessions in years
For the first three days of the
week, bond traders and investors
seemed more preoccupied with
the World Series than with Sc
curitieS. And on Friday, over
the-counter bond houses spe-
,ializing in governments and mos
banks were closed on Columbus
Day. The New York Stock Ex-
change stayed open Friday but
bonds traded over the big board
slumped to $1.910,0OO par value
lowest daily total in more than
three years.

In one smoke-filled "boile1

Enlistment was found to be

But the harvest of money rolls
