I‘m on the diet and have lost 12 pounds.

Last Saturday I said to myself...now you’re away from home. Dumpsey is going to school. Forget about tomorrow. I just received a gift from her this past week...a rock with a tall flower in it. It was what she had selected herself. And when she called me...in the midst of conversation-like a throw away line she said, T feel sympathetic with other children all over the world who don’t have a mother like you’. “After she hung up I was wiped out and cried for about three hours.

Richard Roundtree is the star of Shaft, the movie and the new CBS-TV series, all about a New York private eye. So, shooting publicity pix in front of he network’s Hollywood studios, the photog got the bright idea of bringing in a helicopter for a little action. Great.

Good posture is an aid to health and is also pleasing to the eye. Poor posture hampers free circulation of the blood to vital organs, induces aches and pains and reduces vitality and stamina. Somehow people never suspect that some of their worst aches and pains may be caused by so simple a matter as the way they carry themselves. Good sitting, standing and walking habits are in themselves posture exercises, but I’m now going to give you a little added help. Good posture and walking depends upon being able to control the movements of the body without any stiffening or tightening of the muscles. Controled relaxation is the goal toward which you should and must strive. To achieve this controlled relaxation, the chest must be lifted, the weight must be lifted from the waist, but the shoulders must be allowed to rest naturally without tension. Just imagine you are bringing the spine and the abdomen together, this idea prevents without strain the sagging of the stomach muscles or the protrusion of the hips. With the body in the alignment brought about by lifting the waist and chest muscles, and bringing the spine and abdomen together, it now becomes possible to walk with assurance and grace. the last official assembly to be held in Weed before its closing as a regular elementary school.
