This Pixie Has a Problem:

her own career for her fam
lily.
Father Foster started out
as a grammer school princi-
pal in Bishopville, S. c. He
taught psychology at the
university here for 10 years,
later opening the dance stu
dio near the campus. All
three Fosters use their dane
ing talents to make the stu
dio going concern.
Pixie has no romantic at

a special interest in a 26-
year = old fellow thespian.
Paul Dreher of Columbia.
Dreher is now taking a turn
at directing productions at
the Civic Theater of Grand
Rapids, Mich.
Dreher tried to get Pixie
to play the lead role in "The
Diary Of Anne Frank" Mr..
and Mrs. Foster reluctantly
declined because it would
mean taking their daughter
out Of college for a time.
But in the not too distant
future, Grand Rapids thea

Of a potential star in action.

Cut in half one medium

bage very thin. The thin
ner it is sliced, the better it
will be. Mince a small onion.
Smother it with two strips
Of bacon over low heat. Do
not allow the bacon to be-
come brown and/or crisp.
Add sliced cabbage and one
cup Of water to the onion
mixture. Let come to a boil.
Simmer for 20 minutes.
Then add approximately
one cup Of sugar and one
half cup white vinegar ac-
cording to cabbage size and
your own taste. Salt to
taste. Simmer 10 minutes
more. Sift two or three
tablespoons Of flour over mix
ture to take up excess liquid
and stir until desired con-
sistency is reached.
Red wine may be substi-
tuted for the vinegar.
For another variation, sub
stitute fresh red beets, peeled
and coarsely grated, in place
Of the cabbage. With beets,
lessen the amount of water.
These directions are not
exact as the recipe has been
handed down from my Vien-
neSe mother who cooks by
taste.
Experiment with the guam
titles of sugar, vinegar, etc.,
until you develop the dish
to suit your taste. Do not be-
come discouraged as this is
an easy recipe once you be-
come accustomed to it.
Do not throw away the

Consider the plight of pre-

the brink of bright careers in
three major fields of art.

the problem of which career
to choose. She probably will
pick dramatics or the dance.

two.
But there's always art, both
painting and sculpture, and
perhaps even creative writ

1t was art. in a way, that
first indicated to Mr.. and
Mrs. Lanneau Foster that
the child born to them after
13 years of marriage was a
potential prodigy.
When 8 years old, barely
able to grasp a pencil, Pixie
began drawing pictures. Her
drawings were crude, but the
Fosters noticed that arms,
legs and features of the peo-
pie and animals were all at
tached to the right places.
That, says Foster, a for
mer college psychologist who
now teaches dance, is a sure
sign Of extraordinary intelli-
gence. A child usually is
much older before arms
aren't depicted as sprouting
from chest level and ears
aren't hinged to odd places.

I guess it is a good thing
that we do not know what is
Just around the corner for
us! If we knew beforehand
about any bad luck ahead,
1t would prolong the pain and
spoil the fun before it hits us.
Today I am thinking of
how much happier we are if
we expect the best. l usually
feel that there is something
very exciting and wonderful
just around the corner. 1t
stirS up my glands even to
think of it. I am like a squir-
rel which always is sticking
its neck through a wire hoop
to see what's on the other
side. Did you know that
squirrels will do this if you
hold a wire loop in front of
them?
Sometimes I almost get my
head cut off! But usually the
view Is fine and I continue
to investigate each day with
a sense of vital expectancy.
Life throws the unexpected
at us in happy ways as well
as in unhappy ones.

have sunk. When life gets
thick we are apt to slump in
many ways.
1t seems to me that the
only way we can give our
personal lives scope is to live
them gallantly. What's the
good Of thinking that the
worst rather than the best
waits around the corner? We
cannot possibly outguess life!
The things you most dreaded
may never happen, but some
thing entirely unsuspected
may. Life may suddenly and
Unexpectedly relieve you of
a situation you find almost
unbearable, or she may pre-
sent you with a problem you
never thought you would
have.
Why Worry?
You can't win! You do not
even know what to worry
about-so why worry at all?
Perhaps you have had a heart
attack and fear another
around the corner. You may
never have another, but you
may be killed in an automo-
bile accident.
We all live dangerously. We
never know what tomorrow
will bring. So let us approach
each corner with hope and
curiosity. So long as we do
this we are young at any age
and whenever we stop doing
it we are old at any age. Age
depends much more on atti-
tude than on the number of
years we have lived.

What Metrecal cannot do
Metrecal is not miracle cure for overweight.
1t cannot provide the will power required for
weight reduction. 1t has to be used properly.
1t is imperative that the person who desires to
lose weight stay on the diet of MetreCal. This
is not difficult since little if any. hunger occurs
after day or two.
Medical evidence of effectiveness
Extensive clinical studies, conducted under
medical supervision, have shown an average
weight loss by Metrecal users of approximately
one-half pound per day for periods up to six
weeks. Some lose even more.
Most patients in the studies report little, if
any, hunger. Many report that they feel better
than before. Almost all find it relatively easy
to continue on Metrecal.
What is in Metrecal?
A frequently specified day supply is one-half
pound of Metrecal powder mixed with water
or four eight-ounce cans of Metrecal liquid.
This provides 900 calories or energy units. 20
grams protein, 10 grams carbohydrate, 20
grams fat and all essential vitamins and min
erals in quantities that meet or exceed mini
mum daily requirements established by the
Food and Drug Administration.
In addition to the halfpound can, Metrecal
powder is now available in the 3H pound
economy-size can. The new Metrecal liquid is
packaged in eight-ounce cans-each provides
a convenient individual meal.

What is Metrecal?

Metrecal, when properly used, is an effective
agent for weight loss and control
Metrecal is complete food available in two
forms: powder which is mixed with water;
and liquid, ready to use. Metrecal is designed
to provide a low calorie diet which contains all
basic nutrients required by person on re-
ducing program. Metrecal contains no drugs.
Metrecal can be used as the total diet for the
period required to achieve the weight loss
which is best for the individual. Thereafter, 1t
can be used for one or two meals day. or as
the total diet on selected days to maintain de-
sired weight.
In other words, the concept is measured cal
cries according to the needs of the individual.
