When.I was a child, it seems to me that most of the women who had reached forty had settled comfortably into middle age and had resigned themselves to being ‘‘stylish stouts” or pleasingly plump”. But not any more! Today so, much social Pressure is brought to bear on women to “keep their figures” that most of them make a valiant effort to avoid extra poundage. As a conse- quence, women reap the reward not only of a trim appearance but also of improved health. Much has been written about the danger of ill-advised diets. Self-prescribed and extreme re- ducing plans are so prevelant that doctors are constantly warn- ing women to avdid them. The “Raw Vegetable and Fruit” diet, instance, is one of these danger- ous diets. Many people have the mistaken notion that this is a healthful* diet, one that will “cleanse” the system whilt it takes off pounds. Nothing could be farther from ‘the truth. Those who advocate the straight fruit and vegetable diet will some- times refer to famous vegetar- jians like George Bernard Shaw. What they forget is that a veg- etarian,, if he remains healthy is adding quantities of protein foods — milk, eggs, cheese — to his ration of vegetables, fruits, cereals and nuts. He is not on a ‘strictly vegetable diet at all. Recent findings by nutrition experts point to the vital import- ance of protein in our menus. For years attention was focussed on the need for vitamins and some- times people forgot that nothing takes the place af body-building meats and meat subsitutes. Any good reducing diet, therefore, will include a generous propor tion of meat, poultry, milk, cheese, eggs and fish. What We can safely cut down on are the sugars, fats and starches. ‘ What happens when you go on a straight fruit and vegetable diet? For one thing, it’s liable to produce either constipation or diarrhea along with other digest- jive disturbances. Nature will give you a sharp warning that your body will not tolerate such a lack of protein. Within a day or two you will feel weak and tired. This weakness will not pass, no matter how persistently you stuff yourself, with great quantities of carrots, celery and apples. You will lose weight but the pounds will be stolen from your muscle tissues, not the flabby fat that you want to lose. You may, feel nervous and jumpy. You are al- most certain to develop a nagging headache and a ustless attitude toward life. ° SAFETY First How can you reduce safely? For the answer, let me quote from a famous authority on diet, Dr. Jolliffe, author of the book “Clinical Nutrition.” “There is no danger in reduc- ing if the diet remains adequate,” he writes. “By adequate, I mean that a good reducing diet should contain these foods. foods. 2. Leafy green 1. Protein] Dr. Jolliffe emphasises that a good reducing diet will take off fat without loss of muscle tis- sue, that’s what makes ‘reducers feel weak and ill. (Incidentally, loss\of muscle tissue also plays havoc with your appearance. It will quickly make the body flab- by and the facial muscles will sag.) . Here’s a diet that I came across in an dld issue of “Glamour” miagazine. This is called the “One Week Milk Diet” and it seems to meet all of Dr. Jolliffe’s require- ments. This diet provides an ave- rage of 900 calories a day and weight loss should be approxi- mately five pounds for the week. As in the case of all diets, you are wise to go ahead only with your doctor’s approval. This Skim Milk Diet is well- balanced, easy to follow and should be effective. No ommis- sions or additions are permitted and the diet should be followed for only one week at a time, to be repeated at intervals as neces- sary. Breakfast 1 glass orange juice 3 slices melba toast (no butter) coffee (black or with skim milk) Luncheon Hamburger -on-lettuce leaves (3” ‘patty three-quarter inch thick broiled.) Chopped onion, chives, parsley or carrot may be added if desired. 2 vegetables (see below) one-half cup each 1 glass skim milk Dinner Hamburger (as above) 1 vegetable (see below) 1 glass skim milk Bedtime 1 glass skim milk 1 soda cracker Suggested vegetables — cook- ed without butter, asparagus, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage cauliflower, celery, chard, car- rots, chicory, kale, spinach, squash, tomatoes, turnips.

Art Anderson Wins Third Place Trophy At Nelson Regatta Art Anderson, well known Castlegar outboard artist, won third prize in the Local Outboard Runabout competition at Nel- son’s fourth annual Water Show last Sunday. * Piloting His own craft, powered by a 10 horsepower motor, Art swooped into the finish line behind two 25 h.p. outboards, re- ceiving the third prize trophy. His brother Howard A Canadian Invented Present Time System A Canadian engineer was the inventor of the Standard Time system in‘use all over the world today, it was pointed out ‘in the new edition of Quick Canadian Facts, the handbook of facts about this country. Sir Sandford Fleming thought the scheme up in 1878 as a device for simplify- ing the chores of authors and readers of railroad timetables. Until Fleming’s scheme was ad- opted every district or large com- munity in the world operated on its own time local mean time’ and every railroad in North Am- erica had its own time system or, if they were large enough, time systems. Canada has seven stand- ard time zones and the difference between the most easterly, New- foundland, and the most wester- ly, Yukon, is five and a half hoars - The above and many other in- teresting facts are reported in the eighth annual edition of Quick Canadian Facts, for instance: Do more Canadians live in the country or the city? (62 per cent in the cities.) In 1951 was the leading group of Canadian export commodities products of our farms, forests, factories, mines or fisheries? (Forest products, mainly pulp and paper totalled about a third of all exports.) What manufacturing industry is the largest employer of Cana- dians? (Primary textiles.) As with former issues of the annual pocket book, the main contents of the 1952-53 edition of-| Quick Canadian Facts, is a com- pilation of up-to-date informa- tion about the Dominion, the provinces, government, latest census figures, trade and indus*- ry, natural resources, finance and taxes, and all significant as- pects of Canadian life. Distribut- ed through bookstores and news- stands,. the new issue of Quick Canadian ‘Facts is this week re- leased across the country.

J. W. Chesam r d $40 for the idea that chains be used to hold .the bucket on ~mnucking machines in place when moving from one place to another. This has improved working conditions and has safety value. A special safety award of $25 was ‘given to A. S. Downing. He proposed the use of rubber con- veyor belting as a protective apron on all electric slusher hoists. The suggestion to widen the bench for the DeWalt saw in the tunnel carpenter shop has brought $25 award to J. A. Frie- sen. H. D. Evans of the Sullivan Concentrator won a $20 award plus a $25 special safety month prize for the suggestion that a suitable guard be installed over drive belts. This serves as pro- tection in case of a loose or bro- ken belt. H. F. Jensen, also of the Sulli- van Concentrator, received a $29 award for his suggestion to ex. tend the platform by No. 8 dis- tributor to facilitate maintenance and to improve safe practices, An award of $20 went to J.B. Howard of the SO2 Department in Trail. He suggested that prg- tective lead covering be placeq over iron portion of the LaBour pump. This \has resulted in de- creased maintenance costs. Cc. L.
