SWINGER OR s w i m m e r ,
mim-bopper or jet-setter, all
have one thing hi common —
plenty of leg exposure. How do
your shape up? If they are less
than perfect, don't despair.
Today it is easier than ever to
have lovely looking legs. All it
takes is some determination
and plenty of perseverance.
One of the best exercises for
the legs, from the thighs down
to the ankles, is bicycling. The
rotating motion brings all the
k g muscles into play.
ANOTHER SPORTS activity
that is excellent for slimming
and shaping the legs is swimming. If you don't have accessto a pool in the winter you
might try "dry land" swimming.
Lie across a bed with legs
dangling over the tides, and
flutter kick for about 15 or 20
minutes, twice a day.
A sure cure for that occupational hazard known as "secretarial spread" is a sitting
scissor kick.
Mr. and Mrs. Carlton W. Fechnay
SIT UP STRAIGHT with your
back settled firmly against the
back of your chair, arms folded
together in back of the chair
and legs stretched out in front
of you with toes p o i n t e d
forward.
Raise both legs off the floor
and kick rapidly up and down
as fast as you can go. Be sure
to keep knees stiff and legs as
high as you can.

Dear Abby . . .
'Dance into Manhood
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN
DEAR ABBY: A woman signed "Teddy's
Mother" expressed some doubts and fears because her son wanted to take ballet lessons.
Why? I have four sons. The youngest takes
ballet, but his three older brothers favor sports.
(I make sure the sportsminded boys don't ridicule their brother because of his interest in
dancing.)
As for ballet being for sissies, I'd like to see
a sissy lift a 130-pound ballerina with one hand
Dear Abby appears every day except
Saturday in The Courier-Express
and hold her over his head. And all those strenuous leaps, turns and jumps take muscle-control,
coordination and strength the finest athlete would
envy.
Ballet does more for a boy's body than football. Seeing my son dance is a much prettier
sight than seeing him carried off a football field
on a stretcher, bleeding, with a smashed jaw
and a broken leg. Thank you.
MOTHER OF FOUR
DEAR ABBY: I was outraged when I read
the letter in your column from the mother who
was afraid that her son wouldn't be "all man"
just because he expressed a desire to take ballet
dancing. That mother seemed ashamed because
her son didn't choose to follow In the footsteps
of his father who was a "five handicap" in
golf.
That mother should realize how much masculiinty and discipline goes into becoming a professional ballet dancer. He must be as fit as an
Olympic champion and possess the grace and
rhythm of an artist. I think that any boy who is
fortunate enough to show signs of talent in the
dance should be encouraged in it—and not made
to feel guilty or lacking in manhood.
9ARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y.
DEAR ABBY: This Is for Teddy's Mother:
Let your son take ballet. The heck with the heman junk. There is nothing wrong with a boy
taking ballet lessons. In fact, originally ballet
was danced only by men.
BALLET FAN
DEAR ABBY: A friendly tip to "Teddy's
Mother:" If you are concerned about your son's
masculinity, it might help if you quit calling
him "Teddy," and start calling him "Ted."
FRED'S (NOT "FREDDY'S") MOTHER
KEEP THIS UP for a count of
20, gradually increasing as
much as you are able. This may
wear you out a little at first,
but keep it up every day and
you will soon find that your legs
can go higher each time and the
speed of your kicks will increase.
Here is one for working fat
off the inside of leg and knee:
Lie on your back on the floor.
hands at your sides, a pillow
held tightly between your feet.
Keeping your knees close together, slowly raisee the pillow
as high as you can. Hold for a
count of five and then slowly
lower your legs. Repeat 10
times. In addition to slimming
your legs this one works wonders on waistline If faithfully
done.
Make It Natural
DEAR ABBY: So Teddy's father will "die" if
his son studies ballet? Well, I'd rather have a
clean-cut, hard-working ballet dancer for a son
than a bearded, pot-smoking, unwashed protesting high school drop-out.

Health
Keep a Straight Backbone
By JOSEPHINE LOWMAN
WE ALL NEED a straight
spine on which to build our
hopes! Today, let's think about
what an important part our
spine and back play in our appearance a n d attractiveness,
and even our health.
Round shoulders make correct breathing impossible. This
also crowds the heart and leads
to fatigue, not to mention how
damaging poor posture is to
good looks. Often round shoulders begin to develop during
school years when folks slump
over a desk. This may start in
childhood and continue through
college years.
SOMETIMES, THIS habit is
formed during an illness or during times of great fatigue, stress
or unhappiness. Folks are apt
to become c a r e l e s s at such
DEAR ABBY: Please tell Teddy's mother,
who feared she'd never have any grandchildren
because her only son wanted to take ballet, that
she needn't worry.
I've worked with many male ballet dancers
who could produce more grandchildren than that
woman could handle.

in to the pull of gravity as the
years pass. If this is a habit of
long standing and is extreme,
you may require help at first
when you begin exercising in
order to improve the condition.
You see, your chest muscles
will have shortened while your
back muscles will have stretched and weakened. Ask someone
to help you with this exercise.
THE FOLLOWING is an easy
exercise you can do all by ourself. Stand tall. Make large
circles with your arms, crossing
them in front of your body and
then reaching up as high as you
can. bringing your arms sideward-downward.
Continue slowly making the
circles as large as possible.
BEND YOUR elbows and place
your hands on the back of your
head, elbows up. Now your helper should place his or her knee
in the middle of your back, toward the shoulders. He takes
one of your elbows in each of
his hands and circles your elbows backwards as he pushes
forward with his knee. Circle
elbows down and forward-upward as pressure from knee

DEAR ABBY: Would you believe that before
my son became a Golden Gloves boxing champion he was advised to take ballet lessons to
improve his footwork? He took them, too. And
when he was kidded about it, he laughed harder
than anybody because he knew that he was as
much a man as the manliest.
