On Marriage The Charles Walters Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Walter, Port Charlotte, were recently honored at a golden wedding anniversary reception at the Port Charlotte Beach complex. The former Marie Abbott and Walter were married June 2, 1924 in Council BUffs, Iowa, following a courtship begun at an open-air dance pavilion in Lincoln, Neb.

Walter is a native of Lincoln and Mrs. Walter of England. During Walter's 39-year career as an engineer with Western Electric, his assignments took them to Kearny, N. New York City, Greensboro, N.C. and finally Winston-Salem, N.

where he retired in 1962. Walter is active in the American Legion, Elks, Metropolitan Diners Club, Port Charlotte Yacht Club, Telephone Pioneers, Coast Guard Flotilla and the Shrine and Scottish Rite. Mrs. Walter is a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and Animal Welfare League. Their hobbies include swimming, fishing, boating and shelling.

The Walters have a lapidary shop where they cut, polish and set stones and make jewelry as gifts for family and friends. The Walters are parents of two daughters, Mrs. Cornelius Haitz of Greensboro, N. and Mrs. H.

Roger De Hart of Greer, S.C. I 1 7 (: 'few r. Dr.lawrenceLamb Medical Advice Fad Diet Unsound Method EAR DR. Recently 1 read an article on the cider vinegar, lecithin kelp, B-6 diet as a natural way to beauty. The diet consisted of l'OOO calories a day, lecithin granules sprinkled over raw wheat germ or in orange juice or milk once a day' a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water after each meal five or six kelp tablets with the cider vinegar, complex vitamin every day and vi-tamin B-6 (50milligrams) each day.

DEAR READER As I have said before, I do not approve of any adult eating less than 1200 calories a day except under a doctor's supervision. Any fewer calories than this will result in deficiencies in vitamins and minerals. I think it is a good idea to take vitamins with deficient diets but in most cases a deficient diet is a bad idea to start with. This diet will probably cause a lot of people to lose weight, but if you don't eat the right foods in that 1,000 calories to get the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals you will also lose your, health. In other words, you may ose' more than just pounds.

There is absolutely nothing in the cider and water routine that will magically cause you to lose weight. It may help fill your stomach and help curb your appetite. I wouldn't even count on that. Water has a tendency to pass right through the stomach and doesn't help to give you a feeling of fullness very long. The sprinkling of lecithin is nothing.

Lecithin, as I have mentined may times before, is just another fat. Basically it is a compound of fatty acids, one of which has some phosphorous connected to choline. The choline is found in abundance in your meats. Most real low-calorie diets conain some meat and hence plenty of choline. So.the sprinkling of a special fat on your food isn't going to do a thing for you.

Such ideas usually spring from a complete lack of understanding of how the body digests and uses foods. Lecithin is digested in the stomach and intestine and not absorbed as lecithin into the body. The lecithin in you blood-stream is manufactured in the lllver from choline' fatty acids from your regular food. You can swallow lecithin until you pop and it won't change this basic fact. The kelp is just one more folklore-type addition of so-called magic.

It won't help you either unless you have an iodine deficiency. It is an iodine-containing sea weed. BATH. BEDROOM CLOSET I BEDROOM InW 11' 3o X11T CLOSET FROM ADULT COMMUNITY HEATED SWIMMING POOL AIR CONDITIONED CLUBHOUSE MUCH, MUCH MORE FOR INFORMATION PH. 936-2189 FOR A FREE BROCHURE WRITE: P.O.

Who knows why it took me so long to be converted, except I'm your average housewife who is a product of the 1950s. And as my liberated neighbor, Wanda, pointed out, those were insufferable times for women. We ate frozen waffles, bought store-bought Christmas cards, painted by numbers and covered our furniture with Con-Tac.

Aprons were nothing more than a peice of concrete at the end of the driveway. But as Wanda pointed out a week ago last Thursday, "You can't go on living your life vicariously through Sara Lee and Col. Sanders. You're a person and a creative one at that. You have to create a role for yourself, one that you can be proud of.

Aren't you tired of being a sex object?" Would you excuse me a moment? I think my ceramic Madonna is burning in the kiln. Where was Oh yes, creating a role for myself. Wanda said I'd have to get SURPRISE PARTY: Mr. and Mrs. Karl N.
