So you may need to consider dieting. It's really easier to diet in the summer because of outdoor activities and the abundance of low-calorie fresh fruits and vegetables on the market/says Pat Sullivan, McHenry county Extension adviser. She points out .that many peojJle begin to diet, and faith fully record everything they €|£t, tallying the calories at the end of the day. However, that system can be a drag, so why not take the easy way. Ms. Sullivan suggests that you follow the daily food guide. Select lower-calorie foods from each of the four basic food groups: meat, milk, fruits and vegetables, and bread and cereal. Most vegetables and unsweetened fruits are low in calories and high in vitamins A and C. Include foods that have been processed without extra high-calorie ingredients: for example, avoid creamed vegetables and fruits packed in heavy syrup. Pat points out that you can get a hint of a food's calorie value by its flavor and texture. For example, a food that is sweet or sticky or greasy- crisp will probably be higher in calories than one that has a fibrous texture and is water- crisp, Low-calorie animal protein foods include chicken, eggs and most fish. Another important part of a weight-control program is exercising, says Pat. Exercise helps tone muscles, increases k the blood supply to organs and tissues and helps bum up calories that might otherwise be stored as fat in the body. With the exception of football players, a very few people are active enough during the winter months to burn off their caloric intake. . - * - When food is not needed for energy, it's stored in your body. Think about what you ate all winter that's still just sitting around as unwanted pounds because of your physical inactivity. But don't count on exercise as your only weight control measure. Being selective about the foods you eat, combined with exercise, just might put you into shape for a bikini this summer. LOUISA'S LETTER MR. AND MRS. THOMAS G.

Each year, since retirement, I have given each senior of our county a packet\of good lit erature which they appreciate so much--at least some of them do. I would like to have your permission to use your letter from Joan who was going to c o l l e g e a n d w a s e l a t e d t o be on her own,, and your ex cellent answer to her. I think this will be good for the seniors. Hoping to hear from you soon, I am. E.F.B.--Tenn. Answer: 1 shall be happy to have you use my letter E.F.B. I should also like you to know that I think your idea of encouraging young peo ple to enjoy and appreciate g o o d l i t e r a t u r e , b y g i v i n g such packets to the seniors in your county, is,a wonder ful thing for you to do. Many of the children of to day have grown up on an ed ucational diet of comic books and television. The maga zines that most of them read contain a great deal of trash or worse than trash. Conse quently they never realize how much the reading of good literature can mean to a per son. Such a habit, not only continues one's education, but is an escape from lone l i n e s s a n d f r u s t r a t i o n s later on. Keep up the good work! Louisa. Dear Louisa, M y h u s b a n d a n d I w e r e married for five years and got a divorce. We had no children and he and I were not congenial on many things. His business always came first. Now my problem is this. As a single girl I was very popular and had no trouble getting dates with nice men but for some reason, most of the men who have asked me for a date this past year seem to have only one thing in mind. Why should people think that a woman who has been divorced is such a push-over or has lost all moral sense because she has been married' I get so dis gusted with men that I am getting suspicious of all of them. But I am young and I would like a home and family with some nice man. What would you advise me to do? R.B.--R.I. Answer: A divorcee does have one strike against her ,when it comes to dating. But there are many nice men in this world who are not interested in seduction and the best plan is to try and get into some work--regular or vol unteer--where you will have the opportunity of coming in contact with such people. Be as attractive and well- groomed as possible but do not act desperate or try too hard to please a man. The „hard to get is usually more successful in the race to the altar than the girl^who tries too hard. And try to be hap py or seen to be--for crying and sob stuff does not pay off in the long run.
