Dieting Gets Results
E. R. Chalmers, who has managed to reduce his weight
from 556 to 477 pounds, demonstrates how dieting has
trimmed his waistline. He used to be 86 inches around
his tummy, now he measures only 74 inches. Chalmers
credits the fare at Good Samaritan Rescue Mission in Cor
pus Christi, where he is now living, with helping him to
slenderize his figure. He used to be in a circus, billed as
the “world’s fattest clown.” (AP Photo) '
Keese Appointed Irrigation Engineer
The Battalion College Station (Brazos Cmtntyf. Texan
Former Circus Clown Loses Weight;
Drops to 477 Pounds, 72-Inch Waist
Carroll Wayne Keese, ’52, in
structor in the Department of Ag
ricultural Engineering, has been
appointed to fill . the position of
agricultural engineer-irjigation on
the headquarters staff of the Tex
as Agricultural Extension Service.
According to the announcement
released by Extension Director
John E. Hutchison, Keese will take
over his new assignment on Feb.
1. He has served in his present
position since September, 1954. His
appointment, Hutchison said, fills
the position left open when R. V.
Thurmond resigned several months
ago.
CORPUS CHRISTI (£>)—Need to
lose about 12 inches around the
waist ?
E. R. Chalmers -did, but his
method of dropping from 556
nounds to 477 and to a 74-inch
waist is not recommended for
manv.
“I’ve been sick and off my feed
for the past few years,” he said.
Chalmers was known as “Freddie
the Clown” when he was with the
circus. Now he is a boarder at the
Good Samaritan Rescue Mission.
In the old days, as Freddie re
counts it, a breakfast consisted
of five dozen eggs. A dinner in
cluded five barbecued chickens.
3*4 dozen hot buns, a pound of
hiitter. three nounds of salad and
two gallons of milk.
Financial-Health Reasons
The mission fare is not so sumo-
tuous, but Chalmers doesn’t mind.
“I had to cut down for financial
and health reasons” he said.
With a chuckle he said, “Of
course, if I had the money, I
might spread it on every now and
then.”
By losing 12 inches in his waist,
his trousers show a great slack.
But he keens them up with two
belts stitched together. (See pic
ture at left.)
Freddie comes by his size natur
ally. His father was a circus giant
with the Hagenhack and Wallace
Circus. He stood 7 feet, 10 inches
and weighed 504 pounds, Freddie
said. His mother was wardroom
mistress for the show.
Born in Circus
Freddie was born in the circus
in Grant County, Ind., in 1900.
He was a circus helper until he
was 9 and then became a clown.
He said he was billed as “the
world’s youngest clown” until he
grew and grew and grew, and then
he was billed as “the world’s fat
test clown.”
In 1949 he became ill and spent
nearly five years in hospitals.
“I don’t do much clowning any
more,” he said. “I just don’t feel
up to it. I work when I can find
it, but nothing strenuous. No more
tumbling acts or falling flat on
my face. Occasionally I play for
a birthday party or walk the
streets with a sign.”
Freddie came to Corpus Christi
two months ago, and then became
ill. Through special donations a
room was rented or him near the
mission, where he takes his meals.
His biggest problem at the mo
ment is shoes. He wears size
13-EE, and they’re hard to find.
