the supermarket shopper
Keep cool while in line
By MARTIN SLOANE
In many parts of the country,
this is proving to be one of the
hottest summers on record. I
hope the following letter will
help to keep temperatures down
in the checkout line.
DEAR SUPERMARKET
CASHIERS — Most shoppers
realize that yours isn’t an easy
job. You are under a lot of
pressure to be accurate and
courteous at all times, even
under the most trying cir-
cumstances.
You stand on your feet hour
after hour until they feel numb.
You get headaches from
searching for price labels on
products and expiration dates
on coupons.
By the end of the day you are
pooped. But so are many of the
shoppers who wait in long
checkout lines for what seems
to them like an eternity. Many
of them have also worked all
day, and their feet may ache as
badly as yours.
Many of these shoppers are
under pressure, too. They are
praying they have enough
money to pay for everything in
their shopping carts.
When these shoppers finally
begin unloading their purchases
on the checkout counter, they
need a little consideration too.
Before you start ringing up
their purchases, please give
them a chance to unload
everything from their carts and
hand you their coupons.
Please take their coupons
courteously and handle them
carefully. Remember, these
savings mean a lot to a shopper.
Please be patient. Try to help
if they have questions — even
about items you have rung up on
the register.
Please treat each carton and
jar as if you were buying it
yourself. You wouldn’t want
your eggs dropped into the
bottom of the shopping bag,
would you? — THE SUPER-
MARKET SHOPPER
DEAR SUPERMARKET
SHOPPER — Several weeks
ago you printed a letter about
the disgraceful shoppers who
steal coupons and proofs of
purchase from boxes on the
supermarket shelves.
I mentioned this to a grocery
clerk, and she told me that one
or two of her store’s employees
cut proof-of-purchase seals
from boxes on the shelves for
their own refund requests. So,
please don’t put all the blame on
shoppers. — Debbie from Iowa.
DEAR DEBBIE — I never
said that shoppers are the only
ones stealing proof of purchase.
I hope supermarket
managers will issue stern
warnings that any employees
caught destroying merchandise
in this manner will be fired. I
also hope store managers will
prosecute any shoppers found
stealing proofs or coupons from
their merchandise.

Cholesterol confusion
DEAR DR. LAMB - My
family has a history of heart
problems so I have my choles-
terol checked once a year. My
last reading was 289. My doc-
tor said this was on the high
side of normal, high being 310.
Recently I read in the paper
of a fellow who had a massive
heart attack and his count
was only 260 which his doctor
told him was too high, the high
side being 250. I’m 49 years
those ranges include a high
percentage of the people who
do develop heart attacks'
To have an optimal reading
in terms of having the least
amount of risk of having a
heart attack associated with
your cholesterol level, you’re
better off to have a level
below 220. The situation gets
even more sticky because
some laboratory methods of
determining cholesterol levels

old and I’m very confused and
concerned.
DEAR READER - I can
understand your reaction. The
problem really relates to dif-
ferent attitudes about what is
normal. There are published
normal values for cholesterol
levels up to 310. However,
yield higher results than
others. That’s why some office
values are said to be normal
up to 250.
The truth is the lower your
cholesterol level is the less
likely you are to have a heart
attack or a stroke or any
other complications of fatty-
Easy living with spicy
chicken, pink lemonade
cholesterol deposits in the
arteries. If you do have a
strong family history of heart
disease, it is important for
you to keep your cholesterol
level low. And it’s important
to have a normal amount of
“good” cholesterol as opposed
to “bad” cholesterol. That
means that a reasonable por-
tion of your cholesterol should
be in the small fatty-choles-
terol particles as opposed to
the larger ones.
To help unconfuse you, I am
going to send you The Health
Letter number 15-2, Under-
standing Your Cholesterol,
Triglyceride and Other Blood
Fats. Other readers who want
this issue can send 75 cents
with a long, stamped, self-
addressed envelope for it.
Send your request to me, in
care of this newspaper, P.O.
Box 1551, Radio City Station,
New York, NY 10019.
I think you probably should
make an effort to lower your
cholesterol and that means
the proper use of diet and
exercise. If these aren’t suffi-
cient to lower your cholester-
ol down to more optimal
levels, then there are medi-
cines that can be used if need-
ed.
I should also point out that
your cholesterol level is only
one of several risk factors.
High blood pressure and ciga-
rette smoking are also impor-
tant factors in increasing your
risk of heart attacks and
strokes.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Is it
true that men who have had a
stroke should refrain from
intercourse?
DEAR READER - That
depends on how well you
recover. Many people have
strokes and are left with mini-
mal difficulties. In the course
of time, they may recover so
well that you can’t even tell
they've had one. If a person
retains the physical capacity
to do moderate exercise and is
so inclined, it’s not likely to be
harmful.
Blood pressure and heart
rate do go up during inter-
course but the amount of
elevation is relatively small
with one’s mate. Studies have
shown that it’s quite a bit
higher with extramarital
activities. Irregularities of the
heart also sometimes occur.
Some of these are transitory
and are not exceptionally
important. If your heart is in
good enough condition for you
to do a moderate amount of
exercise, it shouldn’t be a
problem for you.

Our Daily Bread
Scripture Reading for Today: Proverbs 27:8-15
TACT AND A TRACT
... a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
Proverbs 25:15
T“HIS interesting sentence in the book of Proverbs might
I be paraphrased: "Winning, gentle speech can subdue
even the most stubborn resistance." Solomon is say-
ing in effect, "Be tactful!" This is a good lesson for all of
us, for tact is really love in action. By being considerate
of others and by saying nothing to offend them, we can
successfully handle the most delicate situation.
We must heed this advice if we want to be effective
and faithful witnesses for Jesus Christ. Some Christians are
so eager to win the lost to the Savior that in their zeal
they may unintentionally turn people off by being too
bold or too lengthy in their testimony. Because this text
spoke directly to my heart, I thought it might also min-
ister a word of warning to you who enjoy speaking to
others of your love for the Lord lesus, but sometimes find
that people are not too responsive.
In the Choice Cleanings calendar, I found a helpful
illustration of how to approach the unsaved in a tactful
manner. An elderly man, telling how he had come to
Christ, said, "While out walking one morning, I met a
bright-eyed boy. The lad stepped up to me and in a very
polite manner said, 'Sir, will you take a tract? And please,
sir, will you read it?' I had always despised tracts, but I
couldn't reject fhe gentlemanly little fellow with his kind-
ly smile. I took the leaflet, and it was the means of lead-
ing me to the Savior. His 'please, sir' was the key that
unlocked my hard, old heart."
Christian, do you witness to others in a friendly, tactful
way? —H.C.B.
Prayerfully, tactfully give out fhe Word
To sinners borne down with their guilt and despair;
Cod will then bless It and you will behold
New creatures set free from the evil one's snare. —Anon.
THOT: If we would win some, we must be winsome.

[ At WiFs End
Did you realize that August is the only “No
Holiday” month on the calendar?
No hats and horns, no Easter eggs, no presidents’
birthdays, no parades, no banks closed, no decorating
the house, no flags waving, no Candygrams and no
interruption in the garbage pickups on Mondays.
Maybe that’s why I’ve always loved August. The
white sales are over. My summer cold has stabilized.
I’ve survived another vacation without killing
someone. Camp is over. The grass is brown and
doesn’t need cutting. It’s too late to diet for bathing
suits and it’s too early to start for the Christmas
parties.
August is a wonderful, funky month to dump all the
promises into...all the resolutions for fall...and all the
excuses of summer.
It’s too hot to cook.
It’s too humid to let your hair grow.
It’s too crowded to clean the house.
It’s too futile to call a meeting.
It’s too hectic to start sewing.
Too dusty to clean the garage.
Too counter-productive to write a letter until
there’s something to write about.
August is a go-to-pot month. You can bite your
nails. Let your dark roots hang out. Keep the calendar
on July. Procrastinate to your dentist. Leave the top
button of your shorts undone so you can breathe. If
you’re late paying your bills, your creditors think
you’re abroad.
Life is a rerun and who cares enough to get up and
change the channel?
I don’t know who to thank for August. Surely
everyone knows it’s fair game for a holiday of some
kind. But somehow the creators of National Pickle
Week, Plastic Furniture Month, Miss Junk Food
Princess and National Illegible Handwriting Week let
August alone.
September is filled with schedules and order, Oc-
tober is a tribute to goblins and disguise; November,
a time of thanks; December of joyous celebrations;
January, resolutions; February, a tribute to our
leaders; March an ode to the Irish; April, the
resurrection; May, a day for mothers; June, for
fathers; July, our glorious heritage...but August... is
everyone’s time to lay back and wallow in the
knowledge that there is absolutely no occasion to rise
to.

Encephalitis case recorded
HOUSTON (AP) - The
second case of St. Louis en-
cephalitis this year has been
reported by health officials.
The City Health Department
reported the cause of the illness
of a 28-year-old laborer who was
hospitalized July 21 in a coma
had been confirmed.
Robert Bartnett, director of
the Harris County Mosquito
Control District, said the
laboror’s illness also coincided
with the year’s first discovery
of mosquitoes carrying the St.
Louis encephalities virus.
A 39-year-old woman earlier
became the first victim of the
disease to be confirmed in
Houston in three years.
Both of the victims were said
to have recovered.
