The enjoyable part of taking
it easy is finding time to read
haphazardly through magazines
or finally getting to that hilar-
ious best seller, “No Time For
Sergeants.”
For overweight persons who
sneeze and weep through the
hay fever season or wheeze
thmatically or splotch over with
hives, the July issue of Coronet
r has an intriguing story.
‘Take Your Pulse and Grow
Thin” is the starting title.
Laura Kerr writes:
“After war king for years
with the problem of allergy.
Dr. Coca has discovered that
overweight patients who are
put on allergy-free diet lose
their surplus flesh. Since then,
he has demonstrated again and
again that counting calories is
not always the answer for the
too-heavy man or woman.”
You may well ask what taking
<your pulse has to do with it.
“The beat, assert two leading
allergists, is the measuring «tick
by which patient or doctor can
gauge how fast the heart is
food.'
Then follows detailed instruc-
tion on plotting out a three-day
campaign of pulse taking.
No snide remarks, please, about
neurotics taking their pulse on
the hour every hour. When those
excess five or ten pounds slough
off, you can take the bows for
the return of a girlish figure, or
the furewell of the masculine
“pot” as the case may be.
Frances Zwerneman at the
City Hall who takes your wa-
ter hill money, is recovering
from a shock. The other day a
Bellaire resident phoned pro-
testing his bill wasn’t high
enough.
^Lucky Frances Babcock, who
won a washing machine at Mc-
Farland’s Furniture opening, an
electric frying pan for selling
Bellaire Texans, plus earning a
respectable sum of the green
stuff that she used as a down
payment on a Shop-Smith, now
wistfully wishes to win a cash
prize ... to pay for the dish-
washer that was irresistable when
she went into the store to collect
her prize plus other irresistables
made necessities by winning the
other prizes.
Busy School marm Nell Tuck-

“By all rights," laughs blonde
peppy newlywed Sally Harrje of
Bellaire, “Peter and I should
have been married on e pine

The couple met over a ping
pong table at the Elizabeth Bald-

honeymoon playing the game in
the Houston City tournament

place; Solly a whopping trophy
as champion of women’s singles
and Peter, a trophy as semi-
finalist in the Novice Class.
Since resuming the game of
table tennis in 1953—Sally’s won
nine trophies, first place in wo-
men’s doubles in the Texas Open
in ’54 and ’55; second plgce in
women’s singles in Texas Open
in '54, plus sweeping the Hous-
ton City tourneys.
The problem now is finding
space for ail trophies and rib'
bons in their home on Willow.
This is the season of excit-
ing, wistful, homesick cards
and letters from sons and dau-
ghters off on their first pro-
longed visit to relatives or
camps. Girl Scout Nancy Wall
made sure her parents, the
Fred Walls, wouldn’t worry
while she spent a week at
Camp Arnold. Each of her four
letters, postmarked Conroe,
was sent airmail.
L. M. Hollar hied himself onto
the roof of the Bellaire Post Of-
fice last week where he has rig-
ged a thingabob for taking air
pollution samples. He came down
grinning, cause Bellaire samples
show very little air pollution
Oh, a litle dust, maybe, but a
very, very small amount. As to,
the atomic bomb fall-out sample,
Lew said it was already on its
way to the Robert A. Taft Re-
search Center at Cincinnati, and
as for comparing BelLaire’s air
pollution with Houston’s, Lew
of the Houston Health Depart-
ment, said a wise, “no comment.”

To the callers re: moving of j
houses on Post Oak between'
Westheimer and San Felipe. This I
doesn’t mean the Post Oak Free- 1
way is underway. Just making
room for Neiman Marcus and
Sakowitz suburban stores soon
to be built, says a Houston offi-
cial.
He added that making Post
Oak into a Freeway will depend
a great deal on the outcome of
the county election this fall when
the issue of tacking onto the cost
of auto licenses (money derived
to pay for rights-of-way) it put
to a vote.
Even if all things go well,
guessed the man, construction
would begin from four to six
years hence.
