THE DOCTOR SAYS
Pep Pills Are
Dangerous On Road
By Wayne G. Brandstadt, M.D.

We have been called, not with
out some justification, a nation
of pill takers.
It Is also admitted that the
driver is your car’s most impor
tant gadget. His general driving
ability and the state of his heal
th while driving are Important
factors influencing his chances
of avoiding an accident. How
then does the taking of drugs af
fect his driving ability?
In an emotionally tense per
son a small dose of a sleep In
ducer or a tranquilizer may im
prove one’s driving ability but
a larger dose would impair it.
This Involves such a delicate ba
lance that it is courting danger
to take any of these drugs while
or just prior to driving. Antihis
tamines given for allergies may
also induce drowsiness and thus
Indirectly cause accidents. The
same can be said of insulin if
the dose is too large.
The amphetamines or pep pills
temporarily increase one’s gen
eral alertness. As the effect
wears off, however, there may
be a rebound sense of fatigue
and depression. In large doses

Q — What is the normal red
and white blood cell count for a
woman? What is the normal he
moglobin and hematocrit for a
woman? What is the significan
ce of different shapes of the red
blood cells?
A— The normal red cell coun
for a woman is four to five mil
lion (4.5 to 5.5 million for a
man). The white cell count for
both sexes is 5,000 to 10,000. The
hemoglobin level is 12 to 14
grams per 100 cc of blood for
women (13 to 16 for men). Per
centage estimations of hemoglo
bin based on a normal of 100 per
cent are no longer used because
they are not sufficiently reliable.
The hematocrit for women shou
ld be 40 to 48 (for men 42 to 50).
The normal red blood cell is a
circular disk. These cells may
vary in size and shape in some
forms of anemia.
Q — Ls there a special diet for
a low red blood cell count?
A— A low red cell count is
usually an indication of anemia.
There are several types of this
disease. Some are benefited by
foods rich in iron such as liver,
oysters, peas, dried beans, red
meat, whole wheat or enriched
white bread and all the so-called
greens.
Tough, Detached And Charming
Shrewd Peg Heckler Captures House
By DAVE BURGIN
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON — (NEA) —
Margaret Heckler began by
smiling. It was a big smile,
warm and lovely.
Then she said softly, "Hello.
How are you? It’s nice to meet
you.”
Shrewd of her, lulling one into
a false sense of security! It fig
ured, like the bright smile at
the beginning.
Peg Heckler Is supposed to be
"tough and detached, shrewd
and pushy,” as one of her Re
publican colleagues in the House
of Representatives put it.
She is, too. To confront her
with this reputation doesn’t bo
ther her at all. She quickly ad
mits to being "tough and deta
ched, shrewd and pushy.” Tak
es it as a compliment, in fact.
“Yes,” she nodded pensive
ly. “I think that’s accurate for
the most part.”
A freshman in the House from
Massachusetts’s 10th District,
Rep. Heckler, 35, a lawyer, was
an instant puzzle to many on Ca
pitol Hill.
First it was a sort of what’s
a-nice-girl - like - you-dolng - in
a-place-like this? routine. She
is petite and pretty, the mother
of three. In neat and simple clo
thes, she turns many an eye
through the halls of Congress.
Then, to go with the puzzle of
what a pretty lady like Peg He
ckler is doing in Congress, next
comes the puzzle of how she got
here.
It isn’t so much that she beat
a Democrat named Patrick H.
Harrington (by some 4,000 vo
tes) in a district heavily popula
ted by people of Irish descent,
or that she is female, or that
she’s Republican.
The puzzling part is that she
got elected after unseating the
veteran incumbent, Joe Martin,
in the Republican primary.
Martin, former House Speaker
who had been in Congress since '
1924, was considered safe for
another term.
"Im asked that question a lot

“You know, ‘How’d you ever
beat old Joe?’ But it’s usually a
rhetorical question. People us

must really be shrewd!’ ”
Martin’s undoing was a combi
nation of his age (83) and, in
deed, Peg Heckler’s shrewdness,
yet she says she never made
Martin’s age “a point of issue”
in the primary campaign.
“I suppose,” she said, “I was
shrewd enough not to. There is
no question Joe had always re
presented our district every inch
and then some, but his age had
become an issue — Democrats
had planned to make it one —
and everybody knew it.
“I have been interested in po
litics ever since college. The fir

you have to be tough tough
mentally, not in the sense you

tough is concerned. They expect
me to be something other than
all business and that’s their fau

Television Review
Steve Allen Brings
Back The Memories
By RICK DU BROW
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — This
has been a big season for
television stars who returned in
the formats that helped bring
them fame. Jackie Gleason and
Art Carney revived "The
Honeymooners” with great suc
cess. Jack Webb brought back
“Dragnet,” and it clicked again
in the ratings. And Wednesday
night Steve Allen turned up with
a new summer variety series
that prompted fond memories.
Remarkably and thankfully,
however, it did not rely on those
memories to carry it off, and
the result was a CBS-TV hour
that was, for the most part,
fast, funny and very ingratiat
ing. Somehow, Allen always
manages to instill his work with
a sense of exhuberance and
refined insanity that is a
particular trademark and bless
ing.
As with Alien's past comedy
variety outings, the Wednesday
debut had an overriding aura of
buoyancy, good nature and
professionalism that carried it
over some of the hour’s soft
spots. Although Allen has been
around television for many
years, I think that sometimes
he is taken for granted, as are
Gleason, Carney and Lucille
Ball. Allen is one of the very
few humorists since the hey-day
of the Marx brothers to have
the gift of combining intel
ligence and slapstick so that
they deflate the bogus.
And although his series is not
on the CBS-TV fall schedule, It
would be nice to think that the
network might keep it in mind
when one of its shows is
inevitably canceled around mid
season. There was also some i
talk a while back about Allen
and his wife, Jayne Meadows, :
doing a Mr. and Mrs. situation ;
comedy. At any rate. Mrs. Allen i
is a regular on the summer I
series, and she showed a fine
flair for racy, bawdy humor on '
the Wednesday debut.
Others on hand were Louis
Nye and Dayton Allen, two
priceless funnymen of the star’s
former video stable of comic
talent. Also: comedian John
Byner, and singers Lana
Cantrell and Sonny and Cher,
each of whom made substantial
Department.
Special tours and recreational
features have been scheduled,
suitable for all the family, as
the rural mail carriers always
make convention time family va
cation time and the whole fam
ily attends.

tain carrier, is General Chair
man of the convention and Mrs.
Essie Hodges of Tucker is co
chairman.
can’t think and maneuver. As
for being pushy, the people of
my district elected me not to

rape.”
Peg Heckler prefers not to get
embroiled In cliche subjects ab
out a woman’s role, a mother in
Congress “and all that nonsen
se.”
“No, my husband (John, an
investment broker in Boston) is
not jealous,” she said, laughing.
“It was pretty much his idea in
the first place. And, believe me,
he can tell you I still have time
for femininity.
"Do I cry? No, not often. When
I do get upset, it’s not over big
problems. I’m tough remem
ber?” She winked.
Peg Heckler knows well that
being known as a hardworking
anything without achievement.
Meanwhile, being “tough and de
tached, shrewd and pushy” helps
put her on equal terms. “Right
now, such a reputation Is a
plus,” she said.
"I really admire her,” said an
other Republican colleague.
"She’s a heckuva gal and she’s
contributions to the hour. The
spirit of the occasion was such
that a good comedy sketch
performance was even drawn
from the singer who calls
himself Sonny and is willing to
let it go at that.
Man-in-Street
The Wednesday program had
some splendid man-in-the-street
interviews, with Nye reviving
his “Gordon Hathaway” charac
ter and Dayton Allen portraying
a topless waiter. A while later,
there was a skit that took comic
potshots at ABC-TV’s “The
Newlywed Game.” On the Allen
show, it was called “the just
married game,” and it was
described by the announcer as (
"television’s newest and most
humulating game . . . our show
thrives on bad taste.” The skit 1
degenerated near the end, but it :
made its point. i
Climaxing the hour was a
lengthy sketch suggesting what (
might happen at a far-off day
when people who make a living
off charity telethons have to
face the fact that all major i
illnesses have been beaten.
Undaunted, they create a '
telethon to defeat prickly heat, i

In this zany sketch, Miss
Meadows was particularly good
as a cheap, bad, vapid pop
singer who felt “it’s so
wonderful to be here for this
wonderful disease.” And come
dian Byner created a small gem
in his enactment of one of those
very bad, small-time, insulting
comics with a stale lineup of
jokes. Allen was the host,
"Steve Maudlin,” whose next
telethon was to fight “the
greatest killer of them all:
