UStop Smoking, Lose Weight

Even though you'd like to
lose weight, do you find
ourself scooping out a second
?helping, topping your meals
?with rich desserts and then
?sneaking snacks and goodies
too often?
Or even though you want to
top smoking ? and have even
numerous times ? did
find yourself grouchy, ir
amtable and so out of sorts that
finally gave up and lit up
again?
Many North Carolina
residents will have the same
opportunity when the
Asheville American Lung
Association sponsors his Self
Psych stop smoking and
weight control clinics on Mon
day and Tuesday, Aug. 11 and
12.
Participants in all clinics
will relax during three hyp
notic inductions during which
Hoke gives suggestions to
their subconscious minds. The
clinics are complete with
literature and cassette tapes
for reinforcement of the sug
gestions at home.
Hoke's approach is to help
people change their emotional
attitudes that make them
overeat or smoke too much.
"Most Americans are
overweight because we're pro
grammed to believe that no
matter what the problem, food
will make us feel better,"
Hoke said. "If you can change
the way your mind feels about
food, you can then change
your body and be the slim per
son you want to be."
Hoke's weight control ses
sion also deals with overcom
ing stresses that cause per
sons to raid the refrigerator,
trying to eat their problems
away.
Stresses also cause smokers
to continue smoking, in spite
of physical harm they
doing to their I
rational part
t
A postcard follow-up survey
indicates a success rate of two
out of three people who par
ticipate in the Self Psych stop
smoking clinics.
Hoke's stop smoking clinic
will be at 7 p.m. Monday and
Tuesday, Aug. 11 and 12. The
fee is $30, and participants at
tend only one session. His
weight control clinic will be at
9 p.m. both evenings, and par
ticipants may attend one or
both sessions. The fee is $25
per session.
The clinics will be at the
Sheraton Hotel. To register
call 252-2071.

Now's The Time
To Plant Collards
Mid-summer is the planting
season for coiiards, so you
need to get on with the seeding
job if you want to enjoy these
popular greens next fall. The
plants should be ready to
transplant by late summer.
Coiiards will last right on in
to winter, since they are
among the most cold-hardy of
the leafy-type vegetables,
point out N.C. Agricultural
Extension Service hor
ticulturists.
Two of the most widely
grown varieties are Vates and
Morris' Improved Heading
Coiiards grow best in fertile,
well-drained soil. Apply six to
eight pounds of fertilizer
? or equivalent ? per 100 feet
of row. Additional nitrogen ap
plied as a sidedressing may be
necessary to assure fast
growth.
The North Carolina State
University extension
specialists explain that coi
iards may be set out in early
plants growing vigorously for
best results.
Space collards 6 to 24 inches
apart, depending on how long
the plant will be growing
before harvest. For example,
those plants set in the spring
and carried through the sum
mer will require the widest
spacing.
