TOPS Club Is Now
Seeking New Members
TOPS (Take Off Pounds
Sensibly) came into being
because there was a great
need for an organization to
help the overweight.
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.
