The
Rambler
Reduces
The Easy Way
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Two or three years ago the
oversigned decided to reduce.
1t was about time. Years Of
good eating, meat and pota-
toes and gravy with buttered
bread for every bite, had
slowly increased his weight
to 210, which is much too
much even for a man who is
6-feet-2.
He was determined to show
the world what will power
and determination and per-
severance - character, IN
short-could do.
In three hungry months
he took off 20 pounds.
He made the mistake Of
rushing into print to an
nounce his progress and his
intention to go for 80 pounds;
that his goal was $50.
He never made it. He got
down to 1856 and from then
on the bathroom scale varied
each morning between 1876
and 100.
Then he was shattered in
an automobile collision.
When he came out of the
hospital he weighed a weak
100.
One hundred and sixty
pounds! He hadn't weighed
that since he enlisted in the
Marine Corps in World War I.
1t wasn't enough and he had
to drink almost five quarts of
water to make the weight for
6-feet-pluS-165 pounds.
This loss of 80 pounds gave
the doctor concern.
Make your diet largely
carbohydrates" he said.
"They are the grains and
root vegetables and fruits.
Don't be afraid of sweets"
After years of disdaining
them, the patient learned
that there is something to be
said for sweets.

headed by Representative

The Senate conferees were

The conference committee,
however, also said that no

The budget was passed by

that most Of the members of

 Wade hastened to point out that untreated water would not be poi son. but that it would make the water harder, making it more diff cult to wash clothes.
 Councilman Brewington pointed out that this is just one more reason why 1t is necessary to pass the g million bond issue for water system improvements this April.

Before q hushed crowd Of some 100 onlookers, the Fair banks City Council voted down an Ordinance which would have extended the hours for liquor dispensing establishments.
 The Ordinance met stubborn resistance from large group composed of local ministers, teachers, social workers, local businessmen. and owners of bars outside the City limits.
 Most Of the objections centered around the statement that increas- iug the operating hours would mean an increase in police prob- lens within the city.
 Rev. Oliver Marson, spokesman for the Fairbanks Ministerial Asso- ciation, pointed out the high inci- dence of Iiquor-based violations in Fairbanks and asked if the liquor dealers were ready to pay the costs of extra patrolmen and the hospital bills for injuries caused in drunk en orawls.
 Many Arrests
 He pointed Out that last year there were 1863 arrests made with in the City that were directly con- nected with the liquor industry. He stated that he would like to see the States hours shortened. and to see the bars closed at midnight. rather than 2 am.
 Others brought out other reasons for defeating the extension.
 Chief of Police Zaveral stated that increasing the hours would mean increased arrests. and that the jail facilities were already crowded. Louise Ray, local school teacher, spoke out against the effect drunk en parents have on children.
 Drunken Parents
 Eugene Zink. local social worker, told the Council of the problems he has to cope with in dealing with drunken parents.
 Speaking out in favor of the Ordi- nance, E. Wally Wallace stated that increasing the hours would bring in more sales tax. and added The ex- tension of three hours is not going 10 make much difference"
 After an hour of discussion. the Council defeated the Ordinance. Councilman Boucher voting yes and Councilman Cox abstaining.
 Discounts Discussed
 City Manager Nordby presented a group of letters from various oil companies and asked that they be read. The letters concerned the matter of the fuel contract for the City and the subject of special dis counts to City employees. The mat ter had been brought up the previ- ous week by Councilman Brewing ton, who had stated he wanted to know what was going on with these discounts.
 Several of the letters confirmed BreWington's statements that City employees were getting discounts but went on to state that the same discounts were given to groups of State and Federal employees, as well as to the employees of large customers. All the letters stated that sales tax was charged on all pur- chases.
