Polly’s Pointers
Dryer not needed
for smaller items
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — I use a couple of ideas that save a
little bit on the electric bill. To dry small items I have
laundered such as socks, cleaning rags, etc. I lay my
oven rack across the backs of two kitchen chairs and
hang the things on the cross wires in the rack. I only use
my dryer for larger things.
To reheat food or to keep it warm, I set the pan it is in
on top of the pan in which another vegetable is cooking.
When my husband is slow getting down to breakfast I
keep his plate of food warm this way. —LOETTA.

DEAR POLLY —1 always save the pieces of foil that come
over the top of TV dinners. They are just the right size to use
for wrapping potatoes to be baked, and are strong enough to be
so used several times. Certainly saves on buying foil.
-ANNA.
DEAR POLLY — Most of us do not iron as much as we used
to, but an iron is still a necessity. To save the money spent for
buying distilled water for my electric steam iron, we put out
buckets and pans to collect rain water to use for this. The
water is strained through a clean cloth and put in plastic con
tainers. The bottles are labeled and are kept just for this use.
-CAROLYN
DEAR POLLY - My grandson came up with quite an
original idea for his contribution to the Cub Scout bazaar. He
grew plants from orange seeds, grapefruit seeds and avocado
seeds and sold them. They made quite a showing and the
customers seemed intrigued with his ingenuity.
I never throw away anything that can be used in the future. I
always save zippers out of worn clothing, so I usually have one
on hand when a replacement is needed. Old purses are also
saved. The soft leather makes good patches for the elbows on
men’s sweaters, children’s snow suits and other clothing.
Good for knee patches, too. —MRS.M.K.
DEAR POLLY — With prices what they are today I decided
much of the aerosol spray I use on my potted plants was lost in
the air. Now I put them in a big plastic bag, spray into the bag
and quickly twist a tie around it thus trapping all the spray in
the bag so the plants get the full benefit of it. —MRS.F.R.

Dr. Lamb
Pacemaker may
be of value
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I have
had complete heart block
since 1971 and my pulse rate is
between 41 and 44. I am 59
years old and my general
health is excellent. In 1971 my
doctor consulted with the
hospital internist and they
decided not to use a
pacemaker for another 10
years. I was told not to do
anything too physical and to
avoid becoming over tired.
Trying to take care of my
home is practically impossi
ble since my vitality is very
low. My understanding of the
reason for not giving me a
pacemaker is that I would be
relying on something
mechanical with the chance of
a malfunction. In my opinion I
would rather take the chance
of a malfunction if the
pacemaker would help me
become more normal. I
respect my doctor’s opinion
bdt do not fully understand it.
Is the prognosis in such cases
bad? Is the care of a
pacemaker too demanding?
These questions are un
answered in my mind and I
would appreciate any infor
mation you can give me.
DEAR READER - Ask
your doctor to send you to a
cardiac clinic at a nearby
medical center or medical un
iversity. The decision on
whether to use a pacemaker
or not would be influenced by
the overall condition of your
heart, but if there are no other
unusual characteristics to
your heart and your low heart
rate is causing you to have
limited vitality then it cer
tainly should be considered.
Implanting cardiac
pacemakers is no longer dif
ficult and they are very
reliable. Perhaps one of the
best known public figures with
a cardiac pacemaker is
former Justice Douglas of the
Supreme Court. He had used
one for years before he
developed his later illnesses
and" during this period was
physically vigorous and often
hiked great distances.
There is a lot of difference
in an individual’s response to
heart block. Some individuals
with heart block can speed up
their, heart rate enough to in
crease the amount of blood
pumped by the heart to enable
them to exercise a great deal.
One of my earliest cases with
this problem had a blockage
between the top and bottom of
the heart because of a birth
defect. He had a slow resting
heart rate but could run on the
treadmill for quite some time
and was able to significantly
increase his heart rate. Until
his condition was found with
an electrocardiogram he had
been a jet pilot in the United
States Air Force.
Complete heart block
prevents the normal impulse
from passing from the top to
the bottom of the heart. This
usually results in a fairly slow
heart rate. If the heart rate is
too slow then the circulation is
compromised to the point that
fainting spells and other com
plications occur. In any case I
would like to encourage you to
obtain consultation from a
cardiac center to see if you
couldn’t benefit at this time
from one of the modern
pacemakers available. The
block you have between the
top and bottom of the heart is
not the same thing as a block
to the right (right bundle
branch block) or left (left bun
dle branch block) side of the
heart. These do not need a
pacemaker.
For information on
recovery from a heart attack
send 50 cents for The Health
Letter, number 2-12, After the
Heart Attack. Send a long,
stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing. Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper, P.O. Box
1551, Radio City Station, New
York, NY 10019
