Try sanding off
burn on wood
I
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — My husband hung a trouble light on
my kitchen cabinet and it burned a dark spot into the
light wood I wor.der if there is any way I can restore the
light finish. - GENE.
DEAR GENE — It all depends upon how deep the
burn is. If it is shallow perhaps you could sand the burn
ed part off and then refinish the wood to match the rest
of the cabinet. A deep burn is another story. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — Recently you answered D.J.C. who
wanted to know how to hang her crewel work pictures without
buying expensive frames, or how to make her own frames.
You said they should be under glass and she should wait until
she could afford the right frames. I disagree. I have made
three such pictures and have framed them with lx2-inch
boards from the hardware store. This looks attractive and was
not too expensive. The store cut them to the desired lengths
and I stained them. I had previously mounted my work on
stretcher bars and it was easy to nail the stained boards to
those bars. There is about a one-half inch overhang on the
front that I think adds to their looks.
Inexpensive frame kits can be bought Unless her work is a
type that will not lend itself to this method I think she would be
very satisfied with kind of frame. As far as cleaning goes they
can be vacuumed very successfully. — JACKIE.
DEAR POLLY — and D.J.C. — I think crewel work should
be left uncovered to appreciate the texture of the stitches. A
spray on guard helps keep them clean along with a weekly
vacuuming Variety store frames can be stained the way one
likes. Such embroidery can also be stapled to a piece of pine.
Cover the staples by gluing velvet or grosgrain ribbon along
the edges Such a piece can be backed with muslin, and have a
casing for a dowel stick to run through and then be hung by a
piece of braided yarn. — KENDRA
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is really a letter of
laughter. After a brown paper bag split sending groceries in
every direction on my kitchen floor, the first thing I saw as I
started to clean up the mess was this sign on the torn bag “No
NEED FOR DOUBLE BAGGING!. - MRS OH.

jLsZ/S Good posture
through exercise
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB — Please
tell me what exercises
strengthen the muscles that
will help me keep my
shoulders back? What ones
pull my shoulders forward?
DEAR READER - Using
proper exercise routines to
maintain good posture is im
portant to your health. Keep
ing the shoulders back and
avoiding compression of the
ribs helps maintain normal
respiration. Those who want
to know what exercises to use
for posture should send 50
cents for The Health Letter
number 1-10, Exercise,
Posture, Strength. Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper, P.O. Box
1551, Radio City Station, New
York, NY 10019. Send a long,
stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing.
Any of the exercises that
rotate the arms backward,
like the back stroke in swim
ming, will contract the
muscles between your
shoulder blades and help pull
your shoulders back. These
can be done using pulley
weights or other devices to
load the movement.
The opposite movement, as
if you were doing the crawl or
swimming forward, uses the
muscles over the front of your
chest and pulls your shoulders
forward.
Keeping this principle in
mind you can see that using
stretch springs or anything
that requires greater strength
in rotating your arms
backward will help keep the
shoulders back.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Your
column regarding the Wry
Neck was of particular in
terest to me. My neck and
mouth sometimes get in the
way of things, in general, but I
am reminded of an article
written by a Harvey Graham
in which he recounts a most
“sure cure for Wry Neck as
approved’ by the English
Barbers-Surgeons” under the
imprimature of no less than
William Clowes-cirurgion-to-
His Majesty Henry VIII as
follows:
“Wry neck is due to the fix
ed contraction of a long mus
cle which arises behind the
ear, sweeps down the neck
and is inserted into the inner
end of the collar-bone; this
contraction causes the head to
be perpetually bent forward
and twisted to one side. The
operation was simply the
severing of the fixed and
fibrous muscle so that the
head could swing back to a
more normal position.
“This operation was usually
performed on the Village
green to the accompaniment
of clashing cymbals, which
served the dual function of
advertising the presence of
the operator and drowning the
howls of the patient. A short,
sharp knife was jabbed into
the neck, just above the
collar-bone, and outside the
fixed tendon of the affected
muscle. It was swept quickly
inwards, severing the con
tracted tendon and then
withdrawn. The twisted head
was restored to a normal posi
tion with sensational
suddenness; a dressing of cot
ton and egg white was applied
and the operation was over!
“Only occasionally were the
great blood vessels, directly
under the muscle, affected.
This was fortunate since such
an accident was almost in
variably fatal.”
DEAR READER - Thank
you for a good laugh. I
couldn’t resist sharing this lit
tle gem with my readers. It
should serve to remind
everyone how fortunate we all
are to get the kind of medical
treatment available today. It
wasn’t always so as your story
demonstrates so vividly.
Such a treatment does run
the risk of severing the
arteries and veins in the neck.
It is closely akin to having
your throat cut. The proper
treatment of a wry neck has to
be based on a careful study of
the patient to determine what
is causing it.
