Quick, faddish diets composed chiefly of one kind of food or of unusual ones are not only dangerous to health but ape worthless’in controlling weight over a long period of time. Usually the lost pounds will be replaced Just as soon as such a diet is discontinued. And from the standpoint of the amount of work involved, extra time and trouble is needed in order to prepare two meals — one for the dieting person and one for the rest of the family. ~»Z . i Perhaps .-a good place to begin.planning a weight-control program Is to survey the family’s food habits.. Plan to adopt new habits acceptable to all members of the family, not just for the dieting person alone. An example of this should be the change from Irregular to well-planned meals. Instead of completely eliminating certain foods from the diet, plan to consume smaller amounts of certain ones like breads potatoes, and cereals. The same rule applies to fats — use butter on bread and other fats in cooking, but keep the amounts small. And don’t eliminate any meal, especially breakfast. Plan to get from one-fourth to one-third of the day’s food sutrlsati at breakfast.

Denies Eisenhower Rejected Arms Plea Israel's Request Still Considered WASHINGTON (INS)—A White House'spokesman says that Israel's request to buy $63 million worth ot American arms is “still under consideration" by President Eisenhower. Presidential news secretary James C. Hagerty made this statement Monday in issuing a flat denial of published reports that Mr. Eisenhower has rejected the longstanding Israeli request. Hagerty said the status of Israel's proposal "remains unchanged" and referred further inquiries to the state department. The reports stated that the President had decided to deny arms to Israel at a White House meeting with secretary of state John Foster Dulles last week. Israel has been seeking U.S. arms to counteract Communist shipments to Egypt and other Arab nations. Meanwhile, International News Service in Tokyo reported that some Japanese-made arms are being shipped to the Arab bloc despite the government's ban. The “leakage,” Japanese sources said, consists mainly of shells, small arms and bullets, and is being channeled without government sanction through non-Arab “middlemen.” Electric Power Off Here Last Evening Clocks in the uptown district of Decatur, including the court house town clock, were running slow this morning as the result of a power failure Monday evening.

The city power was restored after about 30 minutes and rural power was back in about 45 minutes.

Indiana Dairymen Profest tow Rates Strike Possibility Arising In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (INS) -George Sandefur, of Danville* of the 425-member Dairy Protfobers, Inc., said the group will meet within the next two weeks to protest low milk rates. Sandefur said many membefs already have said hey favor a strike ready have said they favor a strike but he added he wants to be certain most of the dairymen in the outfit would support such a strike. The Hendricks county dairyman indicated his group could shut off 75 per cent of the Indianapolis milk supply. Possibility of a strike arose when milk price reached a new low of $4.20 a hundredweight tor four per cent butterfat. Detroit's protest is against s4.2l'per hundred. Sandefur maintained distributors could pay $5.50 a hundred and still make a good profit without raising retail price one cent above the current level of 23 cents delivered and 22 cats in the store. A $3-milllon price-fixing suit has been pending a couple of years in federal court. The suit charges collusion between the three associations ana distributors in fixing prices. Sandefur said officials of the associations now maintain they can do nothing in the way of bargaining until these suits are settled. V. F. W. Ladies Auxiliary, Steak Supper, Thursday, April 5.
