British Bundles
Improve Over WWII
By VERNON SCOTT
UPlUollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — The
bundles Britain is sending to the
United States these days
certainly are an improvement
over the bundles we sent them
during World War 11.
Our bundles were comprised
of clothes, food and other
necessities. In return England is
sending us luxuries.
Would you believe Julie
Andrews, Julie Christie, Vaes
sa Redgrave, and Rita Tushing
ham?
Newest bundle from Blighty is
Carol White, a mini-skirted,
pink ch ee k ed, long - haried
blonde, an item that clearly has
not been devalued by the Labor
government.
Po«r Cow
Carol is here to plug her first
starring part in a major movie,
“Poor Cow,” in which she plays
the title role. “Poor Cow” is the
English term for a doxie who is
down on her luck. It doesn’t
apply to our newfound friend,
Carol.
She is neither poor, nor cow.
In the movie she plays a
promiscuous girl who poses in
the nude for photographers
without film in their cameras.
In all she has six affairs during
the course of the picture.
A cockney born in Hamer
smith hard by London, Carol
leads quite a different life from
Joy, the character she portrays.
Carol is married to Mike
King, one of England’s singing
King Brothers, and is a mother
of two sons. Married since age
17, Carol, one presumes, would
know little about the kind of
woman Joy is.
Not So
“Not so,” she answered
sprightly during a stop in
Hollywood.
“It’s quite easy for me to
play a role like the poor cow—
easier than it would be for
Vanessa Redgrave. I was born
among the lower class, the
working class people. Vanessa
never was surrounded by that
level of people.
“I still know girls like Joy in
Hammersmith. And they’re still
friends of mine.”
“Individuals will go to see
‘Poor Cow’ for its dramatic
merits rather than the nude
scenes or the fact that a girl
goes to bed with a half dozen
men.”
Among, other differences in
the exchange of bundles be
tween the U.S.A. and Britain is
that our bundles didn’t look so
good unwrapped.

THE DOCTOR SAYS
Unstable Blood Pressure
Possible In Some Cases
4&W
By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT
Q—ls a person’s blood pres
sure was 170-180 and the pre
scribed medicine brought it
down to normal in one week
would that be lowering it too
fast?
A—This would depend on
several factors. In general, a
more gradual lowering over
three or four weeks would be
preferable.
Q—lt is possible to have a
high and low blood pressure at
the same time?
A—lt is possible to have a
very unstable blood pressure
so that, when the doctor first
takes it, the upper reading is
190 or more and when he
takes it again a few minutes
later it is only 120. It would be
rare, however, to find an
abnormally low reading —a
systolic reading of less than
100—in such a person.
It is also possible to have
a high systolic (upper) and a
low diastolic (lower) reading
with a leaky aortic valve.
Q—Could high blood pres
sure cause a film over the
eyes, or blindness?
A—A film of mucus over the
eyes is usually caused by a
chronic Inflammation of the
conjunctiva, not by high blood
pressure. Hypertension can,
however, cause blindness.

Q—ls it true that if a person
loses part of his vision from
hemorrhages in the eye due
to hypertension there is no
treatment that will restore his
sight?
A—ls the retinal disease is

can be checked, the inflam

clots will be absorbed and
some improvement in vision

A—No, not even if you ate a

Make Life's Decisions
As Development Dictates
By MURIEL LAWRENCE
DEAR MRS. LAWRENCE: At 18 I married and on my
honeymoon realized that my marriage was a mistake. My
husband has never made a living for me and our four chil
dren. We disagree about everything. Over the years I have
left him three times but always returned to him. We have
no sex life. Now that he’s looking for work in another state,
I know I should divorce him. But when I think of this, I get
an unbearable pain under my heart. I know my problem is
myself. What’s wrong with me?
ANSWER: Distrust of time is what’s wrong with you.
You’re not ready to divorce your husband. Time hasn’t yet
prepared you to do it.
I’m not being fancy either. It’s the sickness of us Ameri
cans that we think we can beat time the way we beat the In
dians, George 111 and the Nazis. It’s why we make nervous
wrecks of our children by insisting they discard diapers be
fore they’re ready to discard them and by commanding their
instant obedience before they’ve had a chance to develop con
fidence in our commands.
It’s why we not only invite ulcers and high blood pressure
but also just the kind of frenzy you’ve cooked up to harass
yourself with. It’s why you can’t see the fact right under your
nose—the fact that you are NOW no more ready to divorce
your husband than the maple tree in your back yard is now
ready to discard its leaves.
There’s no need in my going on about the kind of arrogant
conscience which tells us we must do anything it tells us to
do right away. I’m too bored with it to go on about it. In
stead, I ask you if you’ve ever seen that tiny green worm
which is commonly called an inch-worm? By humping itself
up in its middle, it will propel itself up your arm by the small
length of an inch. And the scientific name given it by some
remarkably sensitive biologist is “geometer”—world-meas
urer.
If that little green worm can content himself with making
haste slowly, why can’t you?
Who do you think you are that time should suspend its in
exorable law of process, of step-by-step development, just
because you want to make a decision on your marriage right
now? What do you think that wise old Cardinal Newman was
talking about when he wrote, “One step is enough for me. I
do not ask to see the distant scene”?
STUDENTS RIOT
MADRID (UPl)—Riot police

student strikes and clashes in
December. About 1,500 students
