Health And Safety Tips
Are last year’s clothes easier
to forget than to zip?
Is your belt getting tighter?
If so, you may be on the
(“weigh" to more pounds than
I you need.
Instead of wishing for a slim
mer you, try reducing. The best
diet plan takes more backbone
than wishbone, but the formula
is simple: eat less, exercise more,
says a new leaflet from the
American Medical A.s.sociatlon.
Plan to lose no more than one
to two pounds each week. Rapid
weight loss may leave you tired,
irritable and vulnerable to di
sease. What’s more, pounds that
are shed in a hurry often return
just as quickly. If you arc more
than ten pounds overweight, con
sult your pliysician before begin
ning to diet.
Calories are units of energy
found in all foods. If the foods
you eat contain more calories
than your body uses in daily ac
tivity, the excess is stored as fat.
To reduce, you’ll have to cut
your caloric intake or exercise
more.
People who lead moderately
active lives need about 15 calo
ries per pound to maintain their
weight. To estimate your daily
needs for a slimmer figure, mul
tiply your ideal weiglit by 1,5, or
by a slightly lower figure if you
are not very active. Keep your
calorie intake at that level.
When you’re subtracting calo-
I ries, don’t subtract all the nutri
ents you need. Your body still
I needs the proteins, carbohydrates,
j fats, vitamins and minerals that
' are contained in the basic food
groups — milk; meat or substi
tutes; fruit and vegetables;
breads and cereals. Cut down oh
your portions, but balance your
diet. If your stomach cries for a
larger amount of food, fill in the
.spaces with low - calorie foods
such as celery, radishes and con-
somme.s.
Americans waste $100 million
annually on phony reducing pro
ducts. Forget this nonsense and
stick to will power.

Farm Workers
Survey Planned
The Census Bureau’s annual
survey of hired fan.m work and
the first phase of a survey on
hunting and fishing will be tak
en during December in this area
as part of the Bureau’s monthly
Current Population Survey, ac
cording to Director Joseph R.
Norwood of the Census Regional
Office in Charlotte.
The farm work survey, to de
termine the number of persons
in the nation doing full and part-
time farm work for hire, is be
ing done for the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. The hunt
ing and fishing survey, to get na
tional statistics on each activity,
is for the U.S. Department of
the Interior.
Both surveys will supplement
regular monthly inquiries on
employment asked by the Bu
reau to furnish information for
the U-S. Department of Labor’s
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Questions on hunting and fish
ing will be askixl about all sur
vey family members in the area
who are 9 years of age and over.
The questions seek to determine
how man.v persons hunted or
fished during 1965, their ages,
how often they engage din these
activities, and approximately how
much they spent on them.
The information will be collect
ed during the work week start
ing December 13 from scientifi

If the tender skin of your eyelid
or upper neck becomes Irritated
suddenly, the culprit may be a
cosmetic, and not necessarily one
applied directly to the affected
area. Two New York dermatolo
gists warned recently that nail
polish, eye shadow—any of the
numerous powders and paints de
signed to bedazzle the beholder
—can be the cause of skin aller
gies, irritation, and damage to
hair and nails. They recommend
that women have themselves

Campton, Ky. (WMNS) — One
of the most potent weapons in
the war on poverty is the oral
contraceptive pill. This is the
view of Dr. Paul F. Maddox of
Campton, Kentucky, who for
three and a half years has been
conducting a birth-control clinic
in one of the most poverty-
stricken sections of Appalachia.
His patients, mostly white farm
.sample areas throughout the U.

who will visit families in this

Greenwich, Conn. (WMNS) —
A baby girl weighing four
pounds, 14 ounces was born pre
maturely at Greenwich Hospital,
received a blood transfusion for
an Rh blood factor problem with
in one hour of birth, and was
discharged 18 days later, alert
and well.
The remarkable thing about
this “preemie” is that she had
also received a blood transfusion
before birth, when she was a
32',2 week-old fetus inside her
mother’s uterus.
This infant is among the very
few human beings ever treated
in ntero, an astonishing medical
feat first accomplished in 1963
by the New Zealand physician.
Dr. A. W. Liley. This break

DOCTORS' ORDERS
OFTEN IGNORED
MIAMI BEACH. Fla. (W.MNS)—
Who’s folloing whom? A recent
study .showed that more than one
third of al patients apparently
fail to follow their physirian.s’
orders — and many doctors fail
to realize It
This is the sad news reported
recently by Milton S. Davis. Pli.D.,
asistant professor of sociology in
medicine, Cornell University
Medical College, New York City.
Professor Davis believes that per
sons between 46 and 65 years of
age — more often women than
men — were more likely to ig
nore orders than younger peo
ple.
When a physician’s advice is
irightening or has painful re
sults; when it is inconvenient or
time-consuming; or wlien it re
quires the patient to use his
judgment, it is likely to be dis
regarded. forgotten, or denied.
What does a doctor do when
he finds out about such reluctant
patients? Generally, he tries to
explain further the need for
treatment and to persuade his
patient to follow it. If that
doesn’t work, he is likely to
withdraw from the case.
Dr. Davis’ findings were re
ported in the November 1, 1965
issue of the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Aseociatiem.
