By Successful Reducers In Oshawa And District TOPS Clubs By MARY WILLIAMS of The Times Staff A glimmer of hope for an answer to their problem ap- peared on the horizon this week for over 450 Oshawa and dis- trict women, members of ten TOPS Clubs in the area, The answer they await lies in the 'research program made possible by the $250,000 grant their parent club, TOPS Club Incorporated, Milwaukee, Wis- consin, made to the Evangelical Deaconess Hospital in Mil- waukee, for accelerated investi- gation and treatment of meta- bolic problems. The founder and president of TOPS Club, Mrs. Esther Manz, presented the cheque at a press conference at the hospital, to the Reverend R. A. Wagner, the administrator, to study the "Enigma of Obesity'. Although basically there. is only one cause of obesity -- ¢aloric intake in excess of util- featinn aver a nerind of months Or years -- it is: becoming in- creasingly apparent that meta- bolie variations exist among in- dividuals which make some More prone than others to obes- ity. Thus, beyond the basic cause lie other factors which affect caloric utilization. Some of the questions to be tion of a diet rather than the total caloric content a more im- portant factor in weight reduc- tion?

In some communities civic clubs and parents provide supervised activities for child. ren on Halloween, The tempo- rary effect is good. ' But year by year youngsters in many communities begin their destructive pranks a week or more previous to Halloween. Worse still, many children, even would not have occurred. Moreover, so long as parents don't feel they are responsible for their groéwing children they may not have a very urgent motive to discipline their child- ren to respect the rights and possessions of other people.
