Morehead Woman Builds Her Own Reducing Machine Photo by Bob Seymour Mrs. Iris Adams Lewis demonstrates ber reducing machine. She built the machine after seeing a sim liar gadget advertised In a Sears catalog. Mrs. Lewis says she lost 55 pounds In five months. If yon are troubled with trying to lose weight and cannot afford the fancy machines and gadgets advertised in national magazines ?nd catalogs, don't be discouraged. Mrs. Iris Adams Lewis, Morehead City, has proved once and for all that losing weight can be inex pensive?and fun. Mrs. Lewis lost 55 pounds in five months and had fun doing it. Last December Mrs. Lewis got the idea of making her own reducing ma chine while looking through a Sears catalog. She saw a gadget priced at $298 and figured she could make one herself. Taking an old washing machine (it coat $20) and $8 worth of bolts, straps and angle iron, Mrs. Lewis built the machine pic tured here. The tub part of the washer was cut off, leaving the agitator stick ing up like a sore thumb. She took the agitator off its axia and bolted a piece of angle iron across the top of the upright axis. When the machine motor was turned on, the angle iron would awing from aide to side with the aame motion as the agitator. Suc cessful so far, Mrs. Lewis put two eye bolta on the ends of the angle iron and put a strap to each as shown in the picture. Liberate Fails Faithful Fan Atlantic City, N. J. (AP)-A young woman from Pennsylvania walked into the detective bureau and poured out a story which De tective James Donalan said went lomething like this: She was a Liberace fan and ?(ten wrote letters to the pianist. Id answer to one letter, his secre tary said he would be appearing In Atlantic City and would be glad to see all his fans. So the woman bought a one-way ticket here be cause she was certain her idol would drive her home. But no such invitation came. Consequently she was stuck. Detectives telephoned her hus band but he refused to accept charges for the call. Donalan took the woman to the bus station and bought her a one-way ticket home. He gave ber fl spending money. "Now don't do this trick again. Stay away from Liberace," were bis parting words. "I sure will mister," she replied, "When I write again it will be to Elvis Presley." When she leaned back against the belt and turned on the motor it "nearly took off the hide." She had the ends of the belt too near the ends of the angle iron and there was too much motion. After a bit of experimenting, Mrs. Lewis discovered that the belt should be placed near the cen ter of the angle iron. Once she got the machine working, Mrs. Lewis found that the "treatments" could be made in a rather comfortable manner. "Now I can sit in a chair, prop if up my feet and let 'er work," she ?aid. "Even when you are sitting down, the machine literally wring! the sweat out of your body," Mrs. Lewis continued. "I had to stop using the machine during the sum mer because I had kidney trouble and needed all the liquids I could keep in my body. "As soon as it gets a little bit cooler I am going to get right back into my routine. I have gained back very little of the Weight that I lost using the machine," she con cluded.
