10 DAYS ON
GRAPEFRUIT
DIET
Hollywood, calif.

tionary grapefruit diet that
everyone is suddenly talking
about. Thousands of copies
have been passed from hand to
hand in factories, plants and
offices throughout the U.S.

works. We have testimonials re
porting on its success. If you
fgllgw it exactly, you could lose
up to 10 lbs. in as few as 10
(fays. Then you will start drop
ping weight on approximately
the sth day and thereafter until
the 10th day. Then you will
ls>se every few days until you
(jet down to your proper
weight.
Best of ALL, there will be no
hunger pangs. Revised and en
larged, this diet- lets you eat
your fill with formerly forbid
den foods, such as high-protein
foods — steak, roasts, chicken,
sea foods, bacon, sausage',
eggs and still lose weight. This

newspapers were launched and
new high circulation figures
were reached. Weekly
newspapers made a 96 per
cent gain in circulation, while
daily newspapers registered a
15 percent gain, the report
shows.
Modernization of printing
equipment set the pace for the
nation. There are now 75
percent of all newspapers in
the state, both daily and
weekly, printed by offset,
compared with only 4.5
percent at the beginning of the
decade just concluded.
Georgia newspapers ranked
fifth in the nation in national
advertising volume by states.
In the same period the
Georgia Press Association
added some six new programs,
including a workshop for high
school publication advisors,
the organization of college
newspaper editors and the
establishment *of a
scholarship-loan program,
financed largely by proceeds
from the Cracker Crumble, an
annual political spoof. Since
the inception of the show,
some $40,000 has been raised,
more than half of which has
been granted to fledging
journalists. The association
also moved into its own
headquarters building in
Atlanta.
“It has been a decade of
excitement and progress for
our association and for our
member newspapers,” Glenn
McCullough, GPA manager,
said in releasing the summary.
“The horizon of the 70s looms
bright and indications are that
Georgia newspapers will in
1970 set new records in
advertising linage, while
continuing the trend in steady
circulation growth and
influence.”
