Dr. Lamb
Isometrics aren’t
usually harmful
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - After
reading your column about
isometric exercises and what
they can actually do to the
blood pressure I became very
concerned. I do not do
isometric exercises, but
whenever I think of it I tense
my stomach muscles and keep
them tight in order to have a
flat stomach.
Is this a practice that I
should avoid? I am a middle
aged woman and i do exer
cise. I’ve never been troubled
with high blood pressure and I
don’t want it to happen to me
now.
DEAR READER -
Isometric contractions, in
cluding hand-shaking or
squeezing and voluntary con
tractions, can cause a tran
sitory rise of the blood
pressure. They will not cause
a normal person to develop
high blood pressure though.
The danger is for the person
who already has excessively
high blood pressure.
Many life situations in
crease the blood pressure
temporarily. A good example
is running. As a person exerts
himself, the heart must pump
more blood. With this in
crease the blood pressure
rises. This is normal and after
exercise the blood pressure
returns to normal. Such exer
cise actually helps to lower
blood pressure in many nor
mal people after the period of
exercise is over.
To give you more informa
tion on isometric exercises
and blood pressure I am sen
ding you The Health Letter
number 1-10, Exercise,
Posture, Strength. Others who
want this issue can send 50
cents with a long, stamped,
self-addressed envelope for it.
Just send your request to me
in care of this newspaper, P.
O. Box 1551, Radio City Sta
tion, New York, NY 10019.
Keep up your exercise. It
will help you keep strong ab
dominal muscles and help pre
vent back problems as well as
keep you nicer looking.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I have

Gift wrapping
with remnants
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — I would like some suggestions for
using remnants of new wallpaper and wonder if you or
the readers could help me. I have quite a bit of this and
cannot bear to throw it away. — MRS. C.N.
DEAR MRS. C.N. — A recent Pointer suggested using
wallpaper remnants for gift wrapping. Also it could be
used to cover shabby waste baskets, cannisters, boxes to
hold jewelry, etc. Then spray with a clear protective
coating. Such paper also makes pretty shelf and drawer
linings. Place mats to use on the outdoor picnic table
would also be attractive. A guest coat closet could be
papered with such remnants put on patchwork style. —
POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — The boxes that held my many puzzles
were always breaking and had to be taped together. Now I put
each puzzle in a clean empty coffee can. The cans do not take
up much room, and even if one is dropped the top does not fall
off. Tear the picture off the lid of the box, put it in the can and
have something to follow. — MARY E.
DEAR POLLY — I do not think there is anything Kathleen
can do about the odor in the down pillows on her sofa.
Doubtless there is blood on the quills caused by plucking the
birds when they were too young. She should return the pillows
to the dealer who sold her the sofa. I went through this same
thing with down bed pillows. After trying everything I knew of
for three months I finally returned them and got a refund.
For years I have used club soda to remove grease spots
from chairs and rugs, as well as many other kinds of soil, even
poster ink. — CAROLINE.
DEAR POLLY — When drying seeds this fall to use for next
year’s planting I had the problem of remembering what is
what. So I put them in individual paper plates with the names
written on the plates.
Often, I have had socks end up without partners on wash
day. I find they have better luck finding their mates, if I drop
the lone one in a paper bag I keep in a closet. Each wash day
check the contents. It is surprising how many show up and find
their mates in that bag. — FERN.
Polly will send you one of her “peachy” thank-you cards,
ideal for framing or placing in your family scrapbook, if she
uses your favorite Pointer, Peeve or Problem in her column.

(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN >
by Dick Covolli
bothering me for some time
and it really worries me. I am
female and 14 years old. I
started menstruating a year
ago. I had read that menstrual
cycles can sometimes be
irregular, such as skipping a
month or two, so I was not go
ing to be worried or surprised
if mine did. Well, mine didn’t.
I was very regular.
After about six months, one
month I didn’t have my
period. It didn’t come the next
month and now it is six
months — half a year — since
my last period.
Around that time I changed
my eating habits and went on
a mild diet. I started eating
the right amount of
everything; plenty of
vegetables, fresh fruit and the
right amounts of protein,
milk, cereal, bread and bulk
products. I do not eat any
heavy, rich, sweet desserts as
I used to all the time. I lost
five pounds.
Isn’t six months without
menstruating very abnormal?
Can it be normal at all? I am
much too shy to talk to my
mother or anyone about it or
to see a doctor either. What
should I do? This is really
worrying me.
DEAR READER - You
should have stuck with your
original resolution not to
worry if your periods were
irregular.
No, it is not unusual to have
relatively long time spans
without menstruation at your
age. Young girls usually start
having periods between 10 and
16 years of age. The fact that
you had regular periods
suggests that you are perfect
ly normal.
Obesity and crash diets are
both factors in upsetting the
delicate hormone balance that
controls menstruation. You
are on the right course, eating
a sound, sensible diet. Nature
will likely take care of the
rest of the development for
you. If you do not resume
menstruation by age 16 then
you should see a doctor about
it.

The Griffin Daily News presents this feature as
entertainment only. The editors do not believe in
predictions based on astrology or the occult.
For Wednesday, Dec. 1, 1976
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Par
tial successes are likely today
because you'll have too many
irons in the fire. Settle on just
one or two things, but do them
well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You
have a tendency today to make
unreasonable demands of loved
ones. Your feelings could be hurt
when they're unable to comply
with your wishes.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Treat
all your friends impartially today.
Playing favorites must be avoid
ed at all costs, or you'll turn off
someone you're fond of.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be
careful not to tread on too many
toes today in order to satisfy
your ambitions. Your victory
would be a hollow one.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Associates may agree with your
ideas today, but express other
opinions behind your back. Be
careful who you put your trust in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Business conditions are a bit
trickier than usual for you today.
Move warily. You could involve
yourself in something costly.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don't
make concessions today just for
the sake of expediency. Give
and-take is a two-way street.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) At
tend to your own responsibilities
today before assuming those of
others. Spreading yourself too
thin will help no one.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) If you follow your prearrang
ed plans today, things should
work advantageously. However,
you're likely to deviate a bit and
cause problems.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan 19)
Keep family affairs confidential
today. Persons who don't share
your roof should not be let in on
family secrets.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
People who don't readily agree
with you today tend to awaken
your wrath. You would fare
better if you try to understand
their views.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If
you're too generous with the
wrong person today you could
feel like a patsy later on. Avoid
anyone who formerly tried to
take advantage of you.
®Your
Birthday
Dec. 1, 1976
Lay long-range plans this year
for that which you hope to
achieve in the future. Seeds
wisely sown will bear a harvest
when you’ll appreciate it the
most.
