Founded in Milwaukee in 1948 by Esther S. Manz, with four members, it achieved great success be cause it has no commercial interests. It concerns it self entirely with relief from excess poundage and a study of its underlying causes. TOPS is a non-profit or ganization based on the principles of “group ther apy.” Group therapy in TOPS means getting to gether those who have a problem in common, dis cussing it frankly without fear of being laughed at or misunderstood. It is not a “course” of short duration. It is a planned continuing program dedi cated to helping the over meight. TOPS excludes "gimmicks” and “fads.” Members are urged to get their diet, exercise program and any needed medication from their doc tor, who is also asked to advise the member’s de sired normal weight goal. TOPS, through incentive, encouragement, studies in nutrition and proper eat ing habits, urges its mem bers to take off pounds sensibly( through consist ent weekly losses. From the four members who started this wonder ful club in Mrs. Manz’s kitchen in 1948, the 1966 computed figures show there are now 5,922 char tered chapters with 147,433 members in the United States and abroad. The total loss for 1966 was 1,420,195 pounds (or 701.1 tons). North Carolina alone reported a weight loss qf 7,419 pounds from their 39 chartered chapters. To join the club a member must have at least 15 pounds to lose and must join TOPS National Head quarters in Milwaukee. If you are interested in taking off those unwanted pounds (sensibly) call 221- 4488 or 482-4265 and they will set up an informal meeting to explain all the rules and details. The Colonial TOPS meet at Arrowhead Beach Club House each Thursday night at 8:30 o’clock. TOPS Pledge I am an intelligent per son. I will contrtoi my emo tions, not let my emotions control me.
