TOO MUCH FAT SIGNIFICANT
PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM
SAYS STATE HEALTH OFFICER
AUSTIN—Are you packing too
much fatty beef for the size of
your frame? If so, you’re probab-
ly one of the 100,000 or so Texans
contributing to what State Health
Officer Geo. Dr. Cox calls a “sig-
nificant public health problem.”
The number of obese (dangerous-
ly overweight) people in the state
is growing, the doctor says, and
they’re laying themselves wide
open to trouble.
For instance, if you are carry-
ing too much fatty tissue you’re
twice as apt to get diabetes, and
three times as likely to have heart
trouble. Furthermore, if you get
arthritis it will hurt you a good
deal more because of your obese
condition.
Many other conditions are made
worse by a person’s being too fat.
“Obesity is just as serious a form
of malnutrition in the long run,
the health officer will tell you.
Ask why some people get fat while
some don’t and he’ll tell you the
plain and simple reason is that
usually the fat ones eat more than
their systems need or want.
“Obesity is exactly the opposite
of starvation. Overweight people
eat too much. Emaciated people
don’t get enough. Both types are
malnourished.”
But why do they eat too much?
There may be many causes. The
glands may not be working just
right. They may be having emo-
tional trouble.
“Dietary habits perhaps estab-
lished in childhood. Part of the
reason might be that an overly full
stomach gives them a sense of
emotional relief. They might be
trying to satisfy an emotional hun-
ger as well as a physical one.”
The best way to fight obesity is
to cut down the caloric intake, he
says. But to do this you’ve get to
have a real desire to have normal
weight.
“This means,” he explains, “the
underlying emotional factors which
created the obesity must be cor-
rected by a greater urge, such as
avoiding an early death.”
When you get this desire you’ll
be willing to have your doctor
prescribe a reducing diet and med-
icine if necessary and you will fol-
low his advice.
“If you don’t,” Dr. Cox caution-
ed, “you’ll probably find an early-
grave.”
Fat people should get a good
physical examination by their doc-
tor before they start on a rigid
reducing diet.

WATERFOWL AND DOVE
SHOOTING DATES EXPECTED
ABOUT MID-AUGUST
AUSTIN—The Executive Secre-
tary of the Texas Game and Fish
Commission said United States
Fish & Wildlife Service action on
recommended waterfowl and dove
dates for Texas is expected about
mid-August.
The formal announcement by the
Federal agency, which has final
authority on regulations for migra-
tory game, is needed to make the
seasons official.
The Commission, at its last meet-
ing in Austin, recommended the
North Zone mourning dove open-
er to be September 1, and the
South Zone opener be October 1.
It recommended that Texas also
be zoned for waterfowl with a

North Zone season on ducks and
geese opening October 31, and a
South Zone season opening Novem-
ber 21.
The Commission suggested that
should waterfowl zoning fail, that
the state-wide opening be October
31. The theory was that the sea-
son may be longer this year than
the 50 days of 1951.
The Executive Secretary of the
Commission will participate in a
predecision conference on water-
fowl in Washington, D. C. August
5. He will be one of two repre-
sentatives from the Central Fly-
way.
