1* C?M '* C? m ?r By Boglty How To Loso Weight Of all to* iMdiods and gimm icks Pte ever beard that ware raeaaaoMMtod? and some even fii Mtotrl tn law weight I have discovered one that Is positive- harnlutely a success tally proven way to shed ex cess blabber. Worry It off! A couple of years ago a doc tor told me that Ts a little overweight. He said, "Now you batter get rid of about 15 or 20 pounds. At your age being overweight ain't too good for you." This alone should have start ed me worrying off the pre scribed amount. But It didn't on account of, well, you know how doctors are. If they ex amine you I reckon they figure they Just have to tell you some little something ain't exactly up to par, even if you're hea Miss Elda Queen and nep hew, Jimmy Cagle of Atlanta and Miss Susan Stripplung of Lagrange, Ga., spent last week end as guests of Miss Beulah Queen. -M Mayor and Mrs. Cloe Moore spent the weekend with their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Moore and daughters at Simpsonville,S.

Ob second thought, this being healthy as a horse might not be the best example to use. Pll tell you how come. The other day I went to see a fellow about plowing my garden and you know what he told me? Said, "Ain't ye beard? My ole horse died back in December." Anyway you do know how doctors are, even if you're healthy as a ? well, as hea lthy as a ? aw forget it Anyhow, I Just rocked along there as happy and fat as if 1 had had good sense. Then a thing happened -. And I don't care to tell you what it was either. 1 thought I oughta retire. My doctor tho ught so, too. So, Doc and I started things rolling to do just that. And I began WORRYING. To begin with, and I reco mmend this highly, I did my worrying on a very low key. Then, gradually, I built up to an ear-shattering crescendo, you know, to some very power ful worrying. And results were obvious im mediately. The blubber began coming off, a pound here and there, then 5, 10 etc. Now I'm down to us? well, it is none of your business how much of a lightweight I have become. I will tell you this much, though. Now I have to walk back and forth, past any given point, five times to even make a shadow. Told sombody about my fool proof plan for losing weight and they said, "That doesn't work for me on account of when I worry I GAIN weight." I didn't argue with em. But I said to myself that that person just wasn't doing the right kind of worrying. Probably wasn't doing any a tall. Saw Mrs. Stella Sawyer, Edi tor of The Graham Star (Rob binsville) the other day and when she mentioned needing to lose some weight because, as she said, "I haven't been able to touch my toes for 2 or 3 years." I told her about my plan. She said, "I couldn't use that plan cause I ain't got noth ing to worry about." Tell you what, if I's to ever get to where I didn't have any thing a tall to worry about, I'd begin to worry about THAT. I'd know that something was wrong. I told her that and she only laughed. I didn't mention a word to her about this but remember what she said about she hadn't been able to touch her toes in two or three years? Don't you KNOW that by now she is bound to have some might dirty and smelly feet? If I's her I'd do some hi$i voltage worrying about having such dirty feet. Just happened to think: She probably gets her husband to wash em for her. And knowing how wives crave attentior, she probably wouldn't try to lose an ounce just so she could continue to get her husband to do that for her. Somebody oughta tell him! Besides the scales revealing how skinny I've gotten, people are telling me. Just the other day, inside of thirty minutes, two mentioned about how much weight I had lost. This fact, alone, didn't worry me hardly any--well, none at all. But WHO the two were made it kinda interesting. One was a lawyer and the other was a friendly UNDER TAKER! It's a fact. I could only conclude that the lawyer was looking for ward to handeling my estate after, I maybe, passed on pretty soon. And the friendly under taker; well, I'm sure you can imagine what he was up to. Got news for both of em. If I do dry up and blow away, I ain't got nothing so there won't be any estate for anybody to handle. And, like I said here once before, when I'm all done here I'm going to college so there won't be any big, pretty funeral either. The Baptist say that worry ing is a sin. So, if you're one of them, and you want to get around that angle just substitute CONCERN for worry and go ahead with it. You'll get the same results. Did I get retired yet? Why, No! I'm still worrying on it though. AREA ME ALFRED D. GALLOWAY, JR. ALBUQUERCUE, X. M. - Sergeant Alfred D. Galloway, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Davis Galloway of Rt. 2, Waynesville N.
