Senator Souper
Says
By BILL VAUGHAN

By BILL VAUGHAN
About the most embarrass-
ing thing a man can appear
with in public is a wife with a
black eye.
A Junior executive, shopping
for a gift for his wife, asked
one of her friends, what sort
of negligee does Maude wear,
size-wise?"
The best move toward per-
manent peace might be some
sort of international rule that
all wars be paid for with cabs
in advance.
When a mans car breaks
down there isn't any point in
telephoning home for sympa-
thy. It's always the same day
that the refrigerator has quit
and the sewer backed up.
A friend says his son-in-
laws true destiny is with the
space program. He can sit for
hours staring into it.

STOP KILLING YOURSELF

Slim and jolly

In this holiday season, the
temptations to overeat are
ever present and the inclina-
ton to take off weight is often
postponed indefinitely an d

Wives in particular are
tempted to say, Husbands
like plump, jolly wives" and
postpone their dieting. In this
connection, this letter from a
reader is unusually signifi-
cant:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: On
my wedding day l weighed
144 pounds. Exactly nine
years and four children and
several miScarriages later l
weighed 224 pounds. This was
in October of 1861. At this
time l had the last of these
miscarriageS and my husband
was called to active duty as
an Army reServist. l went to
work as a nurses aid.
At that time l talked to my
doctor about a diet. He gave
me a very good diet manual,
encouragement and some
enlightenment plus ample
famine to take. For nine
months / dieted faithfully. |
took the diet pills only now
and then and after four
months none at all. l never
told my husband about m.
dieting. In the meantime, |
h a d much encouragement
from girls where l worked.
In June of 1862 my husband
was offered a job with an
uncle here in Southern Cali
fornia. In July, l came here,
left my children in the care Of
his relations and made an
unannounced visit to him at
his Army camp.
Well, DR.. Steincrohn, | wish
your reader would have seen
and heard my husband. Then
she would never have written
that letter saying weight
doesn't matter. He just stood
and looked at me for several
seconds. Tears came to his
eyes and when he finally took
me in his arms he said, my
beautiful bride, after all these
years you are back" I wa

vised girls with children to let
their mothers have some
peace. We have a number Of
such young mothers on our
street, including my own
daughter. They couldn't get
out fast enough to live their
own lives, but they are back
every day with their children
for you to feed and look after.
It's always a new excuse.
Their apartment is cold. Or
it's hot. Or it's too cramped.
The kids haven't been taught
manners and they wreck the
house. My husband isn't
young any more and he can't
take the racket and yelling.
When l raised my children,

Both Georgetown citizens as
Mpciations and four George
Town residents have filed q
complaint in United States Dis
trict Court to block conversion
of two private houses owned
BY Georgetown University into

The complaint, filed yester-
dAy asks that a decision OF
The District Board of Zoning
adjustment be set aside and
that the university be enjoined
nom using the houses as Of

THE Board of Zoning Ad-
instment ruled that the uni
varsity had the right, under an
cid administrative interpreta-
tion," to use the houses as part
Of the college without getting
special permission to do so in
an area zoned residential. The
bpard's decision opens the door
for the university to convert
2B other houses 1t owns in
Georgetown without permis-
sion of a hearing, the COM
plant asserts.

thority an Administrative in
