The legislation, if approved by the Senate also, will remove one of the major excuses used by the executive branch in withholding information from the public. Executive agencies for years have hidden behind a 1789 statute as a basis for cloaking public affairs, including their own mistakes, in secrecy.

Jerry stopped polishing his family's car to pick her up. , He bad dancing blue eyes and brown hair, and the strength with which he held her, combined with the gentleness with which he wiped dirt from her grazed knee, moved her deeply and her heart burst trust by falsifying into loye. She made no attempt to hide this sudden love. At lunch when Jerry asked someone to pass htm the butter J she scrambled down from infor- mation, whether "inadvertently," as claimed, or purposely. A. Dawson always outspoken in favor Rep. William (R-Uta- h), her chair, ran around the table, got the butter and presented it to him, her heart in her face for all of an informed public, backed the Moss bill but felt it should have gone further, to include Congress, as well as executive agencies of the government. The Utah congressman early in this Congress introduced a bill to require congressional committees to budget and account for their of counterpart funds. "We (in Congress) are criticizing executive agencies for withholding information about their operations from the public," he said before the House the other day. "Yet we condone a situation in Congress that not only prevents the people from knowing how a portion of their money is being spent but as a matter of fact keeps these expenditures from the eyes of Congress itself. . . This is a deplorable situation and is bringing disrepute to see. Someone snickered. Jerry's big . res Dangerous.

It is hoped the Senate will quickly approve its similar freedom of information bill, now in committee. To keep the information channels open to the public, both houses of Congress must be in harmony, not only on the over-a- ll principle of the public's right to know what the government is doing, but on avenues for carrying out that v erally defined as one whose weight is more than ten per cent above the average for his age and height . with, allowance for hereditary or familiar characteristics.

The desire to reduce is essential. There is a place for the ite-reducing drugs, but they are limited and miracles cannot be expected from their use alone. Proper eating is the answer to the problem of excess weight except for those exceedingly few whose obesity is the result of disease.

The simplest to prepare and most easily obtainable reducing diet is one containing high-fand low carbohydrate foods. This will produce the most rapid loss with the fewest symptoms; it is made up largely of meat, fat and water. The amount is relatively unimportant, but the ratio of three parts of lean to one of fat should be maintained since a lower fat proportion will slow the weight loss. Few meats have enough natural fat to maintain this proportion, so that sometimes fried suet is added in the diet. Black coffee, clear tea and water can be used without restriction. I do not think that this or any other diet, with or without drugs, should be unless the taken patient is observed for the rate of weight, loss and for individual circumstances which often arise. However, except for the fact that this diet is somewhat expensive, there are no drawbacks and virtually anyone who is too fat can reduce if he wants to. high-protei- n, Editor Herald: A few years ago an attractive,1" new division- of homes - was built in the North Park' area. This new section of Provo has developed into one of the most beautiful and well kept residential areas on the entire city. It, has always been an area of class and great pride, an ideal place to raise a family. We resident home owners have no been notified that a petition has been filed with the Provo Planning Commission topart of this lovely division of homes along 440 West from Seventh North to 880 North to Zone (C-- l) The Commercial. reason is to; enlarge Curley's Market, I am informed. If this petition is approved, and this street on 440 West is made available to commercial business, - re-zo- tbe--enti- re ne area bordering 440 West wbteh will consist of apmillion dolproximately lars in residential homes will be made undesirable for family livThe homes along this ing. street will be moved away one by one and buildings and parking lots will take over. This congestion of traffic will penetrate deep into this division. No one wants to hold back progress, and to expand and grow is a wonderful thing, but let's do it in the right locafion. Let us build and expand where we have the room, where we won't be sacrificing r'illions of dollars worth of one-ha- lf already established beautiful residential property. Provo has many ideal locations where shopping centers can be properly planned, where plenty of space for buildings can be made and parking for 500 to 1000 cars can be planned without affecting any existing property. There are dozens of acres of c! oice ground on Fifth West and Ninth to 10th North and along the 12th North Street. Let us expand these shopping, centers in these roomy areas where people will have plenty of parking space away from where children have to play. If the time has to come that this area in question is used for parking of cars, it will only provide between 12 and 15 spaces which under an enlarged building program will present more of a - problem than exists, at present. What should be planned is space for 500 or 1000 cars and this small area will be a far cry from anything adequate. Let's plan for the future. Let's build Provo up where in 10 to 20 years from now there will bep lenty of room for expansion and millions of dollars of home owners' property won't be destroyed again. Now is the time to plant the seeds in the right places. At the present time, on this very street in question approximately $100,000 in new residential construction is being built. Let us protect this beautiful new property with proper planning and foresight for the future. Let's keep Provo beautiful. When we build something of beauty, let's keep it that' way. Let's not tear it down. parking ' Paul G. McAffee. at - appetite-de- pressing Ruth Millett Wrapped Up In Her Children "All my wife ever talks about is the children," says a husband.. "I love our three children every bit as much as my wife does, but don't want to discuss them all the time. I thought if we went out more, maybe that would give my wife something else to think and talk about. But it doesn't work. "All the way to wherever we are going she keeps up a steady stream of talk about the kids. When we get where we are going she corners someone and starts talking about you guessed it our children. ."I never feel I am taking a WOMAN out but a mother who is so concerned with her children's lives she thinks the small-.e- st thing that happens to one of them is the most important thing in the world.

And Midge, glancing at the faces around the table got the meaning of the look on them. They thought she was funny. Even Mommy was smiling as though she were funny.

When Jerry was around and someone said, "Hey, how's your boyfriend?" she ran away as fast as she could. Now 15, she still hides important feelings! from her family. When they inquire about them, she says offhandedly, "So what if I didn't get a bid to her party? . . . How do I know why 1 date. him often? . . . I'll let you know if I want to go to college. . . ." So her mother is always, saying worriedly, "Honestly, young people today live like strangers in the house. They never tell you a thing." The first love feelings of little children should not seem comic to us. If they do strike us as funny, It's because the children have not become human to us.

Measuring Humidity For sending in today's question, The Britannica Junior, 1 THE QUIZ BOX What musical instrument is 2. 3. 4. 5. What What What What - volume encyclopedia for school and home, roes to Mr. Woznek's 5th Grade, 15 Park Hill School, East Syra- cuse, N. Y. The word humidity means the presence' of water vapor in the air. Water vapor is invisible. It is found everywhere, even over great deserts. Yet it 'is one of the most important factors in sustaining life on earth. Neither animal life nor plant life could continue if there were no water vapor, or humidity. Even our health - depends to a certain degree on the humidity. If the air is too dry, moisture evaporates very quickly from certain parts of our breathing passages and makes infection more likely. Too much humidity prevents excess body heat from escaping and could be harmful too. Humidity helps us foretell the weather. High humidity means fog, mist, rain, or snow are likely. The control of humidity is also important in, industry. Leathers, tobacco, textiles, can all be affected by humidity. But since water vapor, or humidity, is invisible, how can it be measured? To do this, a very ingenious instrument . has been created called a hygrometer. It consists of two thermometers which are mounted side by side on a base. At the base of a thermometer, as you know, is that little bump called a bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is covered with muslin cloth which is kept wet. The bulb of the other thermometer is left bare and dry. Now when water evaporates on an object it cools It. So let's assume the air is dry. This cause's the moisture on the wet bulb i is a young deer called? animal brays? is a young goat called? are raisins?
