Mary Louise, a healthy 17-year- old high school senior, recently won a 4-H National Scholarship for a bread baking demonstration sponsored by Standard Brands, Inc. She is determined not to become fat, even though she enjoys her own baking and her family meals. "I learned the basic principles of modern nutrition in home economics courses," she says. "It is easy to stick to them and still eat a lot of food--but really good food that tastes good, too, and doesn't pile on the calories." SHE LEADS an active school life, plays field hockey and basketball and is good at archery.

Her less strenuous activities include baking her prize-winning Danish pastry for her family and playing the viola in the school orchestra. "I couldn't have half as much fun.at school or with my friends if I allowed myself to put on weight. The fat girls really aren't too popular, you see. So I determined to learn to enjoy a wisely selected variety of foods and keep active trim. It pays off," the zestful young prize-winner claims.

How many overweight teenagers realize that good eating habits are the basis of any sounc reducing program? Of course fasting does take fat off rapidly. But it also takes off valuable protein from muscles, iver and other parts of the body and lowers vitality, according to Dr. Charles Glen King, president and scientific director of the N6- trition Foundation. "Fasting and fad are only for weak-minded teen-agers who can't suppress their desire to he says. "Even though you are overweight, you need to eat regular meals.

"My only problem," she says, "is that on Sing Along I can sing only the old songs and in a certain way.

I can never do any offbeat or arty songs, or arrangement. Sometimes I wish I could cut loose." This is a minor matter. Chances are there will be plenty of time na and opportunity to cut loose. To rou P- prepare for that chance, Leslie studies at the famous Juillard School but not what you might expect. "I'm not studying voice," she says.

"I study music theory and conducting, because I feel that both of those subjects are -valuable in working with an orchestra. This way, I know their problems and I think' better performances will result." Of all her many activities, Leslie much prefers her television work. "Lately," she says, "Ive been doing some singing in night clubs. Luckily, it's all been pleasant and I've only worked the top spots. But I don't really like it.

I prefer television to anything I've done so far." There are perhaps only two things she'd rather do than sing on television--sleep and eat. She says she's very good at both.

Today's youngsters are too bright and sophisticated for this. "On my records, I try to treat children as intelligent human beings. But I try to let them have fun, too because, on records, there must be fun in addition to beauty or information."

Don't change your values, but enlarge them to include compassion, understanding and an appreciation of people, advises the February "Seventeen." Every individual, including your peers, has his own special qualities, his own hopes and dreams-and can be very interesting if you look deeply enough. Look widely, as in the drama club or school paper, and you may find others who have interests similar to yours. Why are teen-agers the star gripers? There are two main reasons, according to the February "Seventeen," which reports champion the cause of crippled children during the 1963 Easter Seal Campaign, March 7-April 14, Easter Sunday.

One has come in from Murray D. Welch, a lawyer by profession but also a past president of "New York's University Glee Club and the Associated Male Chrouses of America. HERE are some of Welch's questions: What is music? Is it inherent in one's life, like hunger, fear, Are we born with a desire for music or is it acquired? Is it like a desire for religion? Is poetry or prose a necessary part of music? Are there degrees of culture in music? Why do some people turn up their noses when they hear jazz, musical comedy, folk songs, Western songs, mountain songs, songs of other lands? Is the pursuit of culture.

beginning of the end of a race or a nation? Do we become effete when we do not pursue vigorously the arts of war and industry? Did Greece and Rome decline as culture progressed? Does the pursuit of culture carry with it the seeds of decay? 'Frankly, it would take several to answer these questions properly. Briefly, one can say that music is an essential element in the make-up of human beings, chiefly because it is founded on rhythm, which is a principle, of life (the heartbeat, breathing, walking, Nature creates its own music in a variety of ways. In addition to the rhythm of rain, waves, tides, the planets, we get a variety of pitch through the wind, the dropping of water and striking or nibbing or blowing on surfaces of various kinds. A musical tone is actually K-Dare Subdebs Organize created by regular (hence rhythmic) vibration. THE DEFINITION of music as "the organization of sound toward beauty" still holds good.

Regular vibration is the simplest form of organization. (Irregular vibration merely produces noise, which nowadays seems to be preferred to music in some quarters.) Tones of definite pitch are further organized through such factors as melody, harmony, tone color (timbre form and the infinite patterns of rhythm itself. Such organization begins as a natural process but is developed by the deliberate experimentation of human beings. It may be claimed all human beings are born with certain instinctive response to music, which can be developed or choked off as a child matures. It would be difficult to imagine a child completely unresponsive to music of any kind.

Words are closely connected with music because they have a rhythm of their own and even a variety of pitch in the speaking When fitted to definite notes of melody, they are that much more effective, but they are not a necessary part of music as such. A COMPLETELY illiterate music-lover can get considerable satr isfaction from listening, but this pleasure will obviously be increased by some knowledge of technique, just as a person will get more out of a ball game by knowing the rules and the finer points of play. However, an instinctive enjoyment may be spoiled by top much knowledge, especially if this leads to snob- ben-. It is nevertheless fair to say- that the experienced listener (and', better still, the participant) gets more pleasure out of music than the ignoramus. Emphatically.

culture has nothing whatever to do with decadence. It is the only thing that survivies from any civilization.

That war should still be considered a way of settling anything is a disgrace to civilization.

It has become a platitude to call music a "universal language," yet it is far from sufficiently realized how literally true this is. If our dealings with Russia were limited musical performances, there would be no disagreement whatever. THE EXCHANGE pi artists between our two countries has created mutual respect and admiration. The language barrier has always been a handicap to international relations. Music is the one sure method of communication.
