Miss Plump Starts To Slim -- Averil Ames, the girl has started a slimming course as a "guinea-pig" for television, surveys her first main meal under the new diet the British Broadcasting Corporation has prescribed for her. This is her typical lunch: One ounce of cheese, one large salad one apple, one slice of bread, Averil has promised to keep to the strict diet for three months. She will be examined by a doctor once a fortnight. She now weighs 195 pounds CL wad hopes to lose a stone (14 pounds) in the first month. Then reduction will be more gradual. Two years ago Averil was A Windmill (London) theatre show girl. She says "my figure was then quite Normal, even attractive". She put on weight when she went to Italy where "I ate little too unwisely and well". March 02, 1951. (Photo by Paul Popper Photos Ltd.).
