Pub. It's Not Easy to Be An Overweight Chflri By Elta Arnold for ANP A young girl growing up eats the same thing as her brothers. They may all be heavyweights if the food served in the home is of the fat making kind. Or the girls may be heavy and the boys lean, even though they eat the same things. Different people utilize the food eaten in individual ways. Some burn food off in ac tivity, in others it turns to fat. “Plump” youngsters often out grow a tendency to fatness. But I - unhappily, some plump young sters only grow plumper as they grow older. A grossly overweight child‘should be taken to a doctor. Some old fashioned doctors will | say that “they’ll outgrow it, don’t i worry.” In that case, find another ; doctor who will give the proper j test determining the cause of overweight and prescribe a diet regime which should be follow'ed. It will be a peck of trouble to help a fat youngster, boy or girl, to take off extra pounds. But to help a too fat youngster get down to a normal size is a job well worth all the trouble it takes.

OLSON, Su^fr,n{tnJ,mt •TATI IIITOIICAl tOCIITT So far as is known, the first Christmas spent by white men in Nebraska was in 1812. The record indicates that there wasn’t much of a celebration. The men were Robert Stuart and half a dozen companions, en route from Astoria, John Jacob | Astor’s fur-trading post at the mouth of the Columbia river, to St. Louis and New York. Their journey was an epochal one. They probably were the first white men j to cross South Pass and traverse the Platte River road that within a generation could become a heavily-traveled highway of west tern expansion. On November 1, after having traveled since June 29, the party encamped on the right bank of the North Platte river, near the mouth of Poison Spider creek, not far west of the present city of Casper, Wyoming. The location seemed favorable and the weary travelers A « decided to spend the winter there, Winter quarters hardly h«d been constructed, however, when the men decided they would have to j move on Ijocbum* of danger from | the Indians. Hence, on December j 13 they set out again, determined, to move further down the Platt# In hope of reaching n safer camp- j ing ground. Christmas day saw them in the J vicinity of Scott* Bluff. Stuart wrote in his journal that the hills south of the river were, “Bluffy and possess a few' Cedars—Buf faloe (very) few in number and mostly Bulls.” The bitter cold made it im possible for the men to keep warm in camp, so they started early the next morning, pushing about 22 miles down the river, and making camp about five miles from Chim ney Rock.
