THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. ■ mm at&n REDUCE SAFELY Nutrition Expert Reports Dieting Can Be Done Safely, Cheaply You can reduce safely and eco nomically on a diet that includes en riched white bread at every meal. Dr. Ruth M. Leverton, professor of nutrition research at the Univer sity of Nebraska, proved in a re search project recently. **Omitting bread in a reducing diet is unnnecessary and leads to in creased cost of the diet," Dr. Lever ton said. "No aspect of food and nutrition is subject to more abuse, fad, and misinformation than the low calorie diet necessary for weight loss.” Dr. Leverton explained that no single food is fattening, but that it is the total number of calories eaten that determines whether a person gains or loses weight. The baking industry, led by the American Bakers Association, is planning a nationwide observance, in 1951, of the tenth anniversary of bread enrichment, focusing atten tion on the resulting improvement in the nation's health. Bread "en richment" means the addition to the bread of certain essential vitamins and minerals. mm By INEZ GERHARD r DY HOLLIDAY was a terrific success on the New York stage in "Born Yesterday," but Columbia tested some of Hollywood’s top ac tresses before giving her that same role in the screen version of the comedy. No one else could have played it as well. Judy’s show busi ness career began as switchboard JUDY HOLLIDAY operator for Orson Welles’ Mer cury Theatre, then came a stint with, a group that sang satirical songs. A small role in "Kiss Them for Me" won her the Clarence Der- went award. Then came "Born Yes terday," her third picture and big gest success. Spencer Tracy is delighted with Ms role in "Plymouth Ad venture,” that of captain of the Mayflower. The picture will ex plode the popular belief that all its passengers were a dun lot; some were Pilgrims, some Pur itans. Helen Deutsch, author of so many successful pictures (her latest is "King Solomon’s Mines"), has proved to MGM executives that she knows what will succeed on the screen; of 30 scripts she turned down, only one was made, and it shouldn’t have been. She is thrilled over her next, “Plymouth Adven ture," with Spencer Tracy star ring. Blonde and brown-eyed, pret ty enough to be a movie star her self, Miss Deutsch likes to do his torical pictures, insisting that every detail be absolutely correct. This appetizing, low-calorie dinner featuring a pork chop, browned apple rings, enriched white bread and butter, and fresh strawberries, was one of the meals served to dieters in a scientific study. Twelve girls lost a total of 227 pounds in 8 weeks of the diet. In the scientific study at the Uni versity of Nebraska, 12 overweight young women followed a daily 1200- calorie diet, which included en riched white bread and butter at each meal. The 12 girls who took j part in the study were between 18 and 25 years of age, and were from 20 to 83 pounds overweight. At the end of the eight weeks, the girls lost a total of 227 pounds, or the equivalent of two whole girls. Aver age loss was 21& pounds per girl per week. The girls remained in excellent health. Enriched white breaji was selected for each meal because it is nutriti ous, appetizing, low in cost, and readily available, according to the report Cost of the diet averaged 68 cents a day. It regularly included meat milk, fruits and vegetables, as well as bread. An important share of the B-vitamins, iron, and protein was provided daily by en riched white bread. • • • IN SELECTING the diet meals for three days were planned, and this three-day pattern was repeated throughout the study. Foods were chosen that were liked by the girls and would be popular over an 8- week period. In general, thick gravies and sauces, concentrated sweets and calorie-packed desserts were omitted. The girls lived in one of the Uni versity’s residence balls during the study so that their meals could be prepared, weighed, and served by trained nutritionists. Because the only way to take off weight is to reduce food intake, foods included in a reducing diet must supply all of the essentia] nutrients needed by the body. The diet planned in the study supplied the food values recommended by the national research council, with the exception of calories. Here are the menus for one of the days of the planned low-cost diet: BREAKFAST: % cup of grape fruit or orange juice, 1 slice of en riched white bread, % teaspoon of butter or margarine, 1 medium egg cooked in the shell or poached, and 1 cup of skim milk. LUNCH: 2 slices of enriched bread, % teaspoon of butter or margarine, 1 medium carrot, 1 medium orange, and 1 cup of skim milk. DINNER: 1 pork chop (V4 lb. with fat removed), 1 small apple, 1 cup of raw vegetable salad, 1 slice of enriched white bread, Vi teaspoon of butter or margarine, 1 cup of skim milk, and cup of fresh strawberries. In place of strawber ries. the following may be served: 1 medium fresh pear or peach, % medium cantaloupe, 2 ounces of an gel food cake, 1 piece of canned fruit such as pear, peach, or pine apple slice, but no qweetened juice. » mm LAST WEEK'S ANSWER ^ ACROSS y Polishes 5.

Too many in this category of sportsmen wind up each year as woundless "casual ties." The sportsman may have been a fleet back or have seen plenty of wartime combat, but if he is over the physical meridian, his best bet is to refrain from pushing himself at any stage of his outing. Extra exertion after a long period of physi cal inactivity can place a danger ous emd too-often fatal strain on his heart. It has been estimated that up to 40 per cent of hunting fatalities are due to heart failure. Too, the admonition to "take it easy," is nothing more than plain, common sense. A man who spends 48 or 50 weeks in the year behind a desk is in no physical shape to walk 10 or 15 miles a day over rough terrain, lugging a rifle or, possibly, a take of heavy game. Neither is he in shape to wade five or six miles of boulder-strewn stream. As for hunters, there are several recorded instances where the sheer excitement of flushing game has proved too much for an over* strained heart. AAA THE FICTION CORNER WAIT YOUR TURN By Ona Freeman Lathrop Indoors-Oufdoors B ESS WILKINS wondered if she was going to be able to stand another twenty or thirty years of Henry’s s t u b- bomness and impatience I "I declare, your father is getting so cranky in his old age, I wonder if I’m going to be able to live out my life with him," she told her married daughter, Alice. "Why, Mother, how you talk!” Alice looked shocked. "Well, he actually embarrasses me in restaurants and public places if we aren’t the first to be waited on. And today he wouldn’t even bank his money from that last real estate deal just because there was a line ahead of him." "Just don’t pay any attention to him," Alice advised . "You proba bly aggravate him more when you argue with him. Maybe he isn’t well?" "There’s nothing the matter with him that a good hard jolt wouldn’t cure, and I’m going to think up a way to jolt him out of his cussed ness,-4? Bess announced. But she hadn’t yet thought up the jolt when she and Henry were driving out for groceries that eve ning. "Got to have some gas in the car before we can go to town," Henry announced, a scowl cluttering up his once-so-placid face. "Henry, I’ll need some money," she informed him as they drove along. "Well, here, take my wallet and get out a ten-spot." Silently she counted the bills. No sense in Henry carrying that much money on him. She helped herself and replaced the wallet. Henry pulled into the neigh borhood gas-station. No one came out. He honked the horn. BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Widow Curses Legacy That Kills Faith ol a Lifetime By BILLY ROSE Whenever an out-of-towner says, "What have you got in New York that we haven’t got in Punxsutawney?” I throw a copy of the Manhattan Classified Phone Directory at him. On page 1067, listed under "Missing Heirs,” is a man named Theodore W. Roth whose business it is to find money. 1 first heard of this gent on ^rradio program and this morning, in a mood to muse and meander, I stopped in to see him at his office an West 4End Street. "Glad to see you," said Mr. Roth. "You don’t happen to be related to a Sam Bramson of Paterson, do you?" "Not that I know of," I said. "Too bad," said Mr. Roth. "Bram son left a hundred thousand dollars and I’m trying to find a relative I can give it to." "la there much unclaimed money lying around?" "About eight bil lion dollars," said Mr. Roth, "mostly in forgotten bank accounts, stock held in escrow, un- Billy collected insurance policies and in heritances nobody has claimed." • • • "WHAT’S THE biggest case you ever worked on?" I asked. "The Garrett case in Philadel phia," said Mr. Roth. "Back in 1930 a lady named Henrietta Edwina died and left property worth million dollars. So far over six people hqve claimed it. six of them have been thrown into jail, a couple have committed sui cide, and several lawyers have been disbarred for phonying up evidence. One of the applicants was Adolph Hitler who argued that the next of kin was a German citizen and that the money should be sent to the Fatherland. I’m happy to report he didn’t get a dime." "You must meet a lot of screw balls in your profession," I said. Mr. Roth dug into bis desk and brought out a letter. It was from a woman m Massachusetts who claimed that one of her ances tors bad deeded a cranberry bog to an Indian squaw, but that the deed was faulty and she wanted the property back. The bog, she explained, is now known as Man hattan Island. "Last year,” Mr. Roth went on, *T got one that was even wackier. A girl in Texas wrote in to say that only a second cousin stood between her and a chunk of oil land worth a million dollars. She was planning to murder her kinsman, but before going to all that trouble she wanted me to check and make sure her claim to the estate would be clear and undisputed. I, of course, turned the letter over to the police." • • • DO YOU HAVE any trouble col lecting your fees?" I asked. "As a rule," said the climber of family trees, "the heirs I turn up are pretty grateful. There have been case% of course, where the only thanks I got was a dirty look." “As for instance?” "Well,” said Mr. Roth, M tbere was the time a widow refused to believe me when l told her l bad located a twelve-thousand-dollar bank account left by her husband. I finally convinced her to sign the necessary papers, but when I banded her the twelve thousand, she said, 7 curse the day I ever met you and I curse this money too’ "It turned out she had always loved her husband and was devoted to Iiis memory, despite the fact that their life together had been a hard one. He had always pleaded pover ty when she needed a dress or a new pair of stockings, and she had believed him. Now that she saw him for what he was, s^e was under standably bitter. “Sure, twelve thousand dollars was a lot of money, but it had de stroyed the faith of a lifetime." Alice advised her mother not to pay any attention to him. "Maybe he isn’t well," she sug gested. Then he honked again, not once but twice, and then again—a long blast. Bess couldn’t contain herself any longer, much as she had determined not to argue with him. "Now Henry, don’t be so impa tient," she said meekly. "Well, for the love ol Mike! When a man wants service, he wants it quick." He gave the horn another fierce blast. "But Henry, you know that horn sticks sometimes. You’ll have it sticking if you blow it like that." "Then they can fix it." And he tooted it again. No one came out. "By the Lord Harry, I’m going in there and tell them what I think of them," he shouted, getting out. "I can see some one in there mov ing around." B ESS WATCHED. Yes, she could see a form moving in the dim interior. Funny the lights hadn’t been turned on yet. She saw Henry step inside and close the door be hind him. Then she saw something that made her heart skip a beat. His hand went up high above his head. A stick-up! There ought to be some way! After all, she couldn’t have any thing happen to Henry. She leaned over and pushed the horn—clear down. It stuck as she had hoped it would. The station door flew open. The masked bandit stuck his head out. "Shut that off, sister!" he snarled. "I can’t. It’s stuck," she told him, trying to keep her voice from squeaking in high soprano. "Get that crate out of here then," he snarled. "I don’t know how to drive, and besides, my husband has the keys in his pocket." She could see heads sticking out of doors and people stopping to turn and grin at the corner. "Come on, Eddie, we’ve got to scram out of here," the first one croaked, and they came out on the run to a parked car. By that time a police car - was rounding the corner. Henry and the gas-station attend ant came out sheepishly to discon nect the horn and fix it. "You sure saved our skins, Bess," Henry murmured in a sub dued voice. "But my bank-roU is gone. After this—” Bess smiled. "Oh, I had taken all the money out of your wallet except nine dollars, but I think that will teach you not to be so impa tient anyway, Henry. Next time, wait your turn.’’ It’s Curtain Time Just as the shoemaker’s children never are shod, so shower curtains seldom get bathed. The Parti-Chef grill, shown above, now permits sportsmen to enjoy the thrills of open-fire cooking right in their own homes, and all the year-’round, too. The grid swings in over the fire for grilling and out over the magnesium griddle for remov ing or turning foods. It is easily cleaned after use. One can grill, fry, roast, broil and even bake on this important addition to sportsmen’s gear. A A A Nature In The Raw... An example of what state con servation departments meap when they say to leave young wildlife alone is offered by a recent release of the United Press, the Wildlife Management Institute reports. According to this report, Mr. and Mrs. Seaton Barker, owners of a health resort near Colusa, Califor nia, adopted a fawn four years ago and raised it on a bottle. All the children in the neighborhood made a pet of "Bambi,” as the deer was called, and they delighted in posing for their pictures with their arms around the sleek neck of the now full-grown buck. Bambi was their playmate until a few weeks ago when a sudden change took place in his personality. A few days ago, the deer was seen with blood on his antlers, and one Nick Miskulin was found dead near his car, his body trampled and torn by hooves and antlers. A posse shot the buck as it tried to break into an automobile in an at tempt to reach two screaming wom en who had barely reached safety ahead of him. What might have happened if this Instinctive, seasonal aggressiveness had overtaken the deer at one of the children’s photography parties is not pleasant to contemplate. Leave young wildlife where you find it! Watch That Line! Fly fishing lines should not be left on reels over the winter season, be cause they will take on troublesome "kinks." Instead, they should be loosely coiled in a newspaper, or hung loosely on a wide peg to avoid these kinks. Silk and nylon lines need no dress ing and should only be completely cleaned and dried before storing. All angling equipment, including the rod and reel should be stored in a place with dry atmosphere and covered with cloth or paper. Avoid leaving tackle near bricks or metal that collects moisture. AAA Fly Technique A deep-fished fly is usually out of the angler’s sight, so he recognizes a strike by a slight pluck on the line, or he sees a momentary pause in the motion o the line at the point where it enters the water. In either case, a quick reaction is a "must," else the fish will be gone long be fore a slow angler takes up the slack. A fly fished on or just be neath the surface remains in plain sight of the angler, who is thus abla to see the beginning of a strike. \ i. a ; ^ I - S iffi . ^ When children are puny .)
