You must cut down on fats, sweets and starches, Close your eyes when you pass the candy and pastry shops. You can have lean meat, fish, poultry, vegetables that grow above ound, cottage cheese, buttermilk, fruit and fruit juices. With the proper diet you will not continue to feed your fat calls. To help get rid of the present supply, 'you are going to do some simple exercises to tone and strengthen your muscles, Adipose tissue can't stand the disturbance of activity. While fat deposits settle on speci- fic parts of the body, their most © usual choice is the mid-section, be- cause that past of the human frame gets little exercise, A complicated set of exercises 13 not necessary. The main purpose is to stretch the ligaments. That means | ing that you must keep tall-- walking, sitting or standing.

Tableaux showing the City's activities in both were sented by civilian bodies as wel the three Services. ' 'The Navy brought a 45 ft. model of the aircraft carrier Triumph-- the biggest little ship ever to travel through the City streets. The Army displayed its new ways of life on 70 foot 'stages oa long vehicles.

The traditional banquet, also held for the first time since 1038, took place at the Guildhall, but without the famous turtle soup and the use of the equally famous City Corpor- ation gold plate. As always it had the Prime Minister for principal guest, HE 'LOST' HIS LANDLORD Zanesville, O.--(UP)--J, 8. Rade- baugh, director of the Office of Price Administration rent control office here, had one man appear at his office with an old complaint but a new plot. The man told Mr. Radebaugh his roof leaked but he couldn't com- plain to the landlord because he didn't know his identity. He said he had lived in the house for five years. "To whom do you pay the rent?" Mr. Radebaugh asked. "I don't pay any rent," the man replied. "I needed a place to live, saw an empty house and moved in. And if somebody doesn't fix that roof soon I'll move out." Wanderer In London In Golden Autumn (The Overseas Mall) London--on a golden autumn af- ternoon. The ducks and the sea- Li ride on the calm, still pond. ere are old men taking thelr ease and thinking their thoughts. Two little boys are squabbling about the trim of a model yacht and the . set of her tiny, gleaming mainsail. The great trees of Ken Wood are 'fawny and deep red against the blue of the sky. A football match is beginning. There are bonfires on the far allot~ ments, and the smoke from them rises steadily in the thin, windless alr. Gnats dance and flit under the tall hedges, and the sound o.' traf- fic on the distant roads is a muted thunder. High overhead a four-engined aircraft sails, its wings spear-tipped in brilliant sunlight. It is decora- tive and harmless as a toy. No height-finder takes a sight on it, no predictor clicks out a range, no round is rammed home in a gun- breech There is cake to be bought for tea--Two units, please," and even tihaat doesn't matter very much. Two elderly ladies walk out to pay an afternoon call. Big, bold ohrysan- themums blaze in front gardens, It is all very peaceful in places where for years there was no peace, Charm of London's. Autumn There are people who hold that the fall is the most fascinating sea- son of the year, and autumn in London has & charm which is all its own. This is our second autumn since the "cease fire" sounded, and we have had more time to learn to appreciate the advantages + which are ours. True, we can be very vo- cal about our disadvantages, but do not think that we are not thank- ful for the benefits that we now enjoy. We appreciate the days, the keen- ness in the air, and the beauty of London's great open spaces. Per- haps even still more do we appre- ciate the nights for it is then that we realise the special benefit which is ours--the benefit of the lamplit streets. A year and & half have passed since the ordeal of the black- out, but the memory still persists. People have not ceased to say. How wonderful it is to have the lights in, ay Circumstances Permit The theatres and the cinemas are lit up. The shops make such display as the necessity for fuel economy allows. We cannot truthfully speak of the "bright lights" of London's West End, and Piccadilly is certain ly no Great White Way, for auster- ity and restrictions are still with us, and will be for a long time to come. But for such illumination at night as we are permitted we are truly WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT-- Meeting Boy Guest At Station By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am a student in High School. At Christmas-time a boy friend of mine is coming to make a short visit at our home. Since he has never been in our city and since we live in a very short street that is not well known, I'd like to meet him at the station. My mother thinks this is r, but my friends think it's proper for me to do this, What is your advice, Mrs. Beeckman? E H B. You diin't tell me why your mother doesnt approve of your meeting this boy at the station. Since she apparently approves of him and has invited him to visit at your home, I can see no impro- priety in your meeting him at the station, welcoming him to your city. It's a grand feeling to be greeted by a friend at the station when one comes to visit, particu- larly at a city where one has never been before, and of course this boy will be delighted at this gesture of yours, If your mother thinks you shouldn't go alone, I suggest she go with you, or perhaps an older sis- ter of yours or a cousin, Fiance's Mother Should Write Fiance At Once Dear Mrs, Beeckman: My fiance's. mother lives in Filor- ida; my fiance, recently discharged from the service, has accepted a ition in Columbus Ohio; and I e with my family in New Jersey. We have been engaged for several weeks and are to be married soon. So far I have not heard from his mother, and I confess I am deeply disappointed, first because® I had always thought this was the proper thing for the fiance's mother to do, and second because my fiance has told me such charming things about his mother. Now my mother and I are wondering if perhaps she is waiting to hear from us, As a matter of etiquette who should write first, my fiance's mother, my mother, or 1? Kate Properly your fiance's mother should write to you first, and she should have written immediately after her son told her of his en- gagement, . .in this way she would show her happiness about the en- gagement, welcome you into their family, and take the first step to- ward establishing the important social relationship between the two families. Also, at the same time it would have been gracious for her w have written your mother, However, since her letter to you seems not to be forthcoming and your wedding day is drawing near, I suggest that you don't stand on ceremony but generously take it for granted that, for some reason, she may not be aware that this is her social duty. Write her a warm and cordial letter telling her that you feel very close to her because of the devoted things her son has told you about her and that you would like to "talk on paper" to her about your happiness in your engagement, your love for her son, your hopes for hiy future in his new position, about the plans for your wedding, and the hope that at the wedding you will have the joy of meeting her. And it would be gracious for your mother to write her also, a mother-to-mother letter that would be a fine supplement to your letter. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Should I Do Dntied by readers.) Give Explanation For Dog Pyjamas Just at the time when production of diaper fabric was af- fected because of a prolonged work stoppage in a plant which is nor- mally Canada's largest manufactur- er of these materials, and while board officials were doing their ut- most to obtain supplies from the United States, a newspaper pub- lished an interesting feature. Spread over the full length of a page were three large photographs of a small dog nattily attired in a suit of flannelette pyjamas. Public reaction, naturally, was terrific. Mothers were justifiably indignant over the idea that scarce flannelette should be available for London has made herself as|dogs. smart as circumstances permit. There again authority exercises a restraining hand, but the odd coat of paint makes a world of differ- ence. Bomb damage is being repair- ed. Over in the so sadly damaged Temple, treasured sanctuary of the law, a stone's throw from where these lines 'are being written they are restoring ancient buildings with loving care, creating again those well-remembered walls. Making a Face Unhinges a Jaw Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 6.--Patrolman J. Ned Fanning vows he'll stick to his whistle henceforward to control traffic and drivers, And the story behind his resolve is really a jaw- breaker. "A woman tried to make a left turn while I was on traffic duty at an intersection," he said. "I blew .my whistle--and she made a face at me. She didn't stop, so I made a face right back. "But I guess I put too much jaw into it. Anyway, I threw my jaw out of joint. . "From now on, I'm sticking to my whistle." 2 ER Prices Board officials investigat- ed immediately. And here's what they learned: -- 'The pyjama suit worn by the dog in the pictures was one of exactly three samples which the owner of a department store had obtained to "dress up" his sports department. Further, it was found that dog py- jamas are made by a Montreal firm whose output of these amounts to one dozen every three months. The canine nightwear is made of odd bits of jflannelette . left over from cutting pyjamas for human beings, And that's the story of the dog pyjamas, Complain '"Clippies"' Go On Duty Capless Birmingham's 1,000 "clippies" are Cross because passengers plained that some of the girls go on duty without their caps and with their hair still in curlers, while others wear a Veronica "bang," which gets in the when they punch tickets. Says Mr A. C. Baker, the trans port manager: "Half the girls could not possibly wear a cap, any- have com- | . way, because they could never get their hair to settle properly under- neath one. Scores of them would probably pack up their jobs if we hried to tell them how to do their r. "So long as they look clean and do their job properly, why worry too much about their not wearing caps? "The girls did wonderful work during the war, and no one wor- ried then about how they looked or what they wore."

Sheiis the lassie who spends her all for cute, sassy shoes. You'll never see her stock- ings wrinkled or the seams squee- ee, 5 She is a pretty stepper. Maybe it is the light stepping that keeps her ankles slim and lovely. Who knows? Certainly the habit of plodding along slowly, pushing the body with a laborious effort, will not keep ankle and leg mus- cles strong and resilient, Improper Shoes When the cause is not in the bone formation or the accurmula- tion of adipose tissue, high heels and ill-fitting shoes are respon- sible for bulky ankles. With an unsteady foothold, the ankle swings from side to side, weaken- ing the fibers, The ankles are a one-way hinge, and Were not made for a side action. Muscles that should be elastic become warped and weak, When that con- * Pe dition is present, one should, first |¥ shoes with | § of all, find suitable lower heels, and do corrective exercises, !

Results are not as rapid as when one exercises regularly. The Movie Column By HELEN BANNERMAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Differences in British and Amerl- can censorship have ended the chances of two of J. Arthur Rank's films being seen on United States screens--this time it isn't sexiness the Americans are objecting to as they did in "The Wicked Lady, which could be re-shot, The two, "Men of Two Worlds" and "Adven- ture for Two," came up against hostile American prejudices. "Me of Two Worlds," laid in Tan- ganyikd, got the cold shoulder after a special screening for Mrs. Elea- nor Roosevelt, and representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. They decided the picture would be objectionable to negroes since the sclentifically-trained Negro doctor, who tries to win over the natives to modern medicine, returns to voo- dooism himself at the end. It was also thought Southern whites would have been hostile to the spectacle of a Negro doctor as a crusader. The picture stars Phyllis Calvert and Eric Portman, "Adventure for Two", the story of a Russian airplane technician play- ed by Laurance Oliver, who Visits England during the war, is slanted most favorably towards the Rus- slans, and United States authorities decided the public south of the bor- der would be hostile to it in view of their strong anti-Russian preju- dice.

DIED ON WEDDING EVE Ronald Bland, 22-year-old York- shireman wrote to his - bride- to-be in Selkirk: "Next time I see you will be in church." A few days later he attended her funeral Miss Jean McIntosh, who was 25, died suddenly after making all arrangements for her wedding and honeymoon, . The Rev.
