Size-Reducing Problem Reduced To Minimum
By ROBERTA ROESCH The problems you face In the present may lead to a better future If you let one move in the right direction take you to forwad steps. This is the crux of the story of attractive Mrs. Jean Nidetch, once an overweight housewife, and now a business executive who is blonde and slim to boot Reducing Group “I know that I wasn’t bom fat,” says this founder and director of a popular reducing organization that is based on a medically - approved, well - balanced high protein reducing diet “But I was told I developed a weight problem one week after birth. “I was called ‘fat’ as a child, ‘chubby* as a teenager and bigboned when I got married in a size-20 dress. When I grew to size 44, I told myself I gained all that weight on a gandular or heredity problem. But. truthfully I gained it on chocolatecovered food and cookies. “While I ate those things,” Jean said, "I would try every diet going. But whenever I managed to lose a few pounds I would gain every one of them back.” Finally, when Jean worked herself up to an over-200 weight, she decided to get down to business and start moving in the right direction. Obesity Clinic To make this move she enrolled in an obesity clinic where she had to lose weight or be dropped from the group. After 10 weeks of losing two pounds a week, she invited six fat friends to her Long Island home to share diets, problems, understanding and sympathy instead of afternoon snacks. “I became leader of this group because I talked the most,” she said. “Then gradually as I moved downward from ft size 44 to a size 12,1 realized I was moving upward when it came to helping people lose weight through group therapy and a disciplined eating program. “I never dreamed of making ft career out of this,” Jean said, ''but one forward step followed another until suddenly I had one. “To begin with, the original group of six weight-watchers expanded (in numbers, not pounds) to such a large gather-

Controlling Her Weight, She Went From Size 44 to A 12 ing that we had to move out of my house into a basement Next, I was asked to start another goup in another part of Long Island. Then we rented a loft and became incorporated. Eventually, we moved to our present office.” At this point the organization has franchises and followers for its 16-week course in 16 states and overseas cities. Others are pursuing its program by using as their guide Mrs. Nidetch’s “Weight Watchers Cook Book’ published by Hearthside Press. Loss And Gain “If you have a weight problem and want to be trim you simply have to work at it,” says Svelte Jean Nidetch whose lost weight gained her a fulltime career. *Tve never been happier in my life than I have since I lost weight And not the least of my new kind of gain comes in letters I get from fromer heavyweights, who express their thanks for helping them to lose excess weight.”

SHEINWOLD ON BRIDGE
CAUTIOPS EXPERT IS WELL DRESSED By Alfred Sheinwold Sometimes people snicker at the bridge expert as being the sort of person who wears both a belt and a pair of suspenders. It may be true but when the game is over, the Expert goes home still wearing his pants. Only an Expert would manage to play today’s hand without having to make a rush call on his tailor.

Harold Ogust, one of America’s great players, let the first trick ride around to the queen of clubs in his hand. Then he naturally went after dummy’s spades—but in precisely the
right way.
Ogust cashed the king of spades and next led the queen
of spades. When West followed to the second spa$e Ogust overtook with dqmmy’s ace! This play would cost a trick if East could follow suit, but then the spades would break favorably. Declarer could give up a spade trick and get back to dummy with the ace of clubs to take the rest of the spades. He would then have first spade tricks, one heart, one diamond and two elubs. BAD BREAK As it turned out, the spades broke badly. There was no way to develop and cash the spades even if declarer stood on his head. It was for just this reason that Ogust had “wastefully” played dummy’s ace of spades: he could now lead twice from the dummy to set up the diamonds in his own hand. Ogust led the 10 of diamonds from dummy, and it didn’t matter what East did. If Eastcovered with the queen, Ogust would lose to the king of diamonds but would get back to dummy with the ace of clubs to take another diamond finesse. If Ogust played the spades “normally,” he would be able to lead diamonds only once from the dummy. East would not cover the 10 of diamonds, and declarer would lose two diamonds and three clubs. DAILY QUESTION You have opened with one
diamond, and partner has responded one heart. The opponents pass throughout, and it is up to you again. You hold: S-K 9 H-A Q 10 4 D-A J 9 8 7 C-Q 7. What do you say ? ANSWER: Bid four hearts. You have 18 points in high cards and 2 points for the doubletons, with very powerful support for partner’s major suit. Even if partner has the minimum holding of 6 point in high cards and a week 4-card heart suit there should be a reasonable play for game in hearts.
To Attend Ceremony WASHINGTON UPI — Former Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown of California will head the U.S. delegation at the inauguration of President-elect Arturo Costa y Silva of Brazil Wednesday. President Johnson named Brown during the weekend. Others in the delegation will be U.S. Ambassador John Tuthill and former White House aide Jack J. Valenti.
No team managed to grab more than 4%-game lead in the 1966 National League baseball pennant race. The Giants enjoyed a 4-game bulge three time—May 12 and 13 and June 23.
Book Memorial To Mrs, Starr The book, “The Winter Beach,” by Charlton Ogbum, has recently been presented to the Greencastle Putnam County Public Library by the Woman’s Club, in memory of Mable Starr. In October, 1964, the author, equipped a small bus for camping and set out alone for upper Maine. There, from Mount Desert Island, he traveled southward with the season, pausing for intensive explorations of Cape Cod and Nantucket, of the Long Island beaches and of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands off the coast of Virginia, until he reached the Other Banks of North Carolina. Mr. Ogbum is an acutely perceptive person of the physical world as he travels about. Orville Prescott, the well-known critic of the New York Times said, “Mr. Ogbum notices everything with the exact observation of an Audubon and the poetic rapture of a Blake”. He has been able to transfer this gift into his writing and share his observations and reflections with his reader. This is a book which will eppeal to the contemplative naturalist and to which the reader will return again and again.
[ Kin Of Stalin Defects To West
ROME UPI — The only daughter of the late Soviet Premier Josef Stflin has defected to the West urtiile on a pilgrimage to India with tbe ashes of her third husband, diplomatic informants said today. Her whereabouts was a
mystery.
The sources said Svetlana Stalina, 41, arrived in Rome Thursday from New Delhi, India, and there were ’‘strong indications” she was planning to go to Washington and may already have arrived. She is the only surviving child of the late Russian dictator and probably the only member of Stalin’s immediate family still alive. The closest she ever came to revealing herself to the outside world was in 1955 when she agreed to an interview by publisher William Randolph
Hearst Jr.
Sources said red-haired Svetlana had been married to an Indian for the past three years. He died recently, they said, and she made a journey to India with his ashes. It was there she apparently decided to defect,
they said.
Decline Comment In Washington, sources said she approached U. S. diplomats in New Delphi on Thursday but the State Department declined official comment
Italian government spokesmen an4 (lie Indian Embassy la Rpme also declined commpnt on the reported defection. “She could come and go like any tourist,” an Italian official said. The National Broadcasting Company’s correspondent 1 n Rome said it had been reported to him that she was inside the U. S. Embassy in Rome There was no confirmation of this
report.
Diplomatic informants 1 ft Moscow said Svetlana’s 1 a t • husband, identified a s “Mr. Singh,” was a member of a family distinguished in Indian politics. He was her third hu^banj, they said. She was previously married to fi Jewish engineer najned Moro?, a marriage Josef Stalin —said to be anti-Semitic— violently disapproved of, and to Yuri Zhdanpv, who died in 1948. 4 .,J» V, * | *i,- s *4 -*» Moroz is reported to b$ a director of Rostov University.
