The Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-11-21, Page 18bet. 21, 10`l4— HOLLYWOOD HOTLINE Shelby Grant gets her own role IltN4144CY /ANDERSON 4 ^ HOL WOOD — "Dr. Gan- nWn'S performed surgery on me three times," Shelby . Grant chuckled over her scarcely tasted Singapore sling. " ndknows my anatomy that he should. That he should. Because Shelby Is in actual- ity married to Dr. Gannon or rather to Chad Everett who plays the medic in the CBS so - ries "Medical Center." In his role as doctor, Chad operated on Shelby for the third time in a "Medical Cen- ter" episode. Called "The Prisoner," it recounted the traumas of a wealthy young lady striken with a critical blood malady. While Shelby's role in "The Prisoner" was her third in "Medical Centex," it's the first she got all by herself. "I'm particularly proud of the fact that Chad didn't even -know I was up for the part un- til I'd been cast," she said. "After I got a call from the studio offering me the part, I called Chad and asked, Who's going to work in the show nett week?' "He said he didn't know. "So -I said, `Well, I hear there's a pad in neat week's script that might be good for rue,' "Chad said, `I don't know yet what's in the script, but '11 get ar copy and bring it tome.' "Then. I laughed and told him; 'That won't be necessary because the studio's sending me a script now." The Everetts' little daugh- ters, Katherine, 5, and Shan- non, 3, are too young to stay up late and see "Medical Cen- ter" which may be just as well. The second time Shelby was in her husband's series, she played a nun who was raped, and Katherine, who saw the show, was terrified by her • mother's ordeal. "She'd seen Chad in fights on t ie s1"ia een, and she'd e v • seta h%in bloody ,maker,; andthat didn't bother her," Shelby said. "When he carne ,home wearing the .makeup he'd worn inan automobile accident. scene, Katherine un- derstood that was part of act "But, when she saw me ly- ing in an alley moaning after rd been raped and beaten, she wasso upset it took me a' long time toet her. • "I ,kept expplaining that it wags make-believe, that I wasn't hurt at all,but, since rm not on the screen as often as Chad is, she had trouble `\ canpre hending that I was acting too." Ina life pleasantly free from serious trouble, one of the few things that does fret $ Shelby is her absence from the screen. "Because of a story in `TV Guide,' some people have the idea that my husband is op- posed to worgen's rights," Shelby prefaced her com- ments about job -hunting, "but nobody is the world is less of a male chauvinist than ChM. Because he's the one who has kept me interested in my ca- reer. "I wish I worked more, but there's a misapprehension abroad. "A great many people think I don't want to work, and, when the girls were younger, I didn't want to work often, but they are big enough now for me to leave then with their Nanny while I go to the studio. "I wouldn't want to make a picture that would take me away from My family to some distant location, but 1 would like more opportunities to act." SHELBY GRANT Ce'KLNG CORNER Recipes just for two break upsyncIrome: By KAY JARVI Just the two of you for nor. What a perfect time to try a special dish, light the candles and pour the wine. But if cooking for two is an everyday event, it may have become easy to drop into the hamburger patties -lamb chops syndrome. may, yes, but not too inspired. The only real problems en- countered by moat women who code in small amounts are those of dividing large portion recipes or coping with sad little bowls of leftovers. The recipes given here solve both problems. They are scaled for two, but if you are only one, freeze the other por- tion for a later dinner on an evening when cooking is a bore. The recipes may of course be doubled to serve four. The first recipe is for a su- preme beef stew which begins with three-quarters of a pound of beef simmered in wine and —s. The real cop is the sprin- kling on of bine nuts and QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK Women in change need psychiatrist? By ELEANOR B. RODGERSON, M:D. Q. Is it a good thing for . a woman to go to a psychiatrist when she begins to go through the menopause? A. Some: women benefit from psychiatric treatment, but most women do not need it. If a woman has led a nor- mal life up until the time her menstrual periods stop, she will probably go on without any major crises. If she has had psychiatric upsets all the way along, the changes of the „*1100utse Urf ne..Unhapp' , the °" eno- pause has been a popular ex- cuse for "losing her mind." I think it is more important to visit a family doctor, or a gynecologist, or both, get a thorough examination; and accept common-sense advice for living and the use of hor- mones. A psychiatrist may be necessary, but usually is not. Incidentally, psychiatrists are in short supply and there just would not be enough to go around if every woman going through the change attempted to see one for no good reason. Q. Why aren't we able to buy a mild pill in the drug store that would get rid of the extra fluid you have just be- fore a menstrual period? A. There are already some mild diuretics (pills that re- move fluid) in the drugstores and supermarkets. Anything stronger is really not safe. Di- uretics can upset the healthy balance of your body fluids and cause all kinds of compli- cations. To be able to doctor onself with them, with no ad- vice from a qualified physi- cian, could cause a greatdeal of injury. Q. Will a Pap test tell you how much estrogen you have? Does the doctor have to ask the laboratory for this spe- cifically? A. Pap tests usually give the doctor an idea of how much estrogen is present, "estrogen effect." How the report is made depends upon the pathologist and the Tabora - tory. There will be a check mark under "high," . "medi- um," or "low." For 'a more specific accounting, a maturation count may be done, -a count of three main groups of vaginal cells — su- perficial, intermediate, and basal. The proportion of these cells varies with the amount of estrogen a woman has. Usually a maturation count has to be requested. Then the doctor has to correlate these findings with the patient's symptoms in order to make,a: jgdgment. . f „ Q. Will birth -control pills stunt a young girl's growth? A. Extrogens will. stop growth and are used some- times when a. girl is growing too tall. I imagine this is the effect you have in mind. It is sad to think of an immature young girl needing contracep- tion to avoid pregnancy. be- cause she is beginning activi- ties that may affect her life many years hence, but, one thing she doesn't need is a pregnancy to mature her. One effect has to be balanced against another. The amount of estrogen in the birth control pills can be small and should be. Another form of birth con- trol would be preferable, but this young girl very likely would not use anything mechanical and fitting an IUD (intrauterine device) might be difficult.

CHILD' PLAY ciea:carto makes jewelry By BUROKER & HUNTSINGER Almost as soon as primitive man satisfied his basic drives such as finding food and shel- ter, he began to adorn him- self. Aside from clothing as pro- tection from the elements, self -decorating was almost as important in mgny cultures. As a result, modern museums contain samples of jewelry whose value is beyond meas- ure when beauty, skill and rarity, as well as cost, are given serious consideration. Of course most long-lasting ornaments are created from precious gems and metals, many dating back to ancient times when- these materials were first discovered. Each culture has peak periods such as Western man's Renais- sance as well as the products of skilled artisans today who take advantage of modern in- ventions. Nevertheless, it is amazing how much beautiful jewelry can be credited to the most primitive of cultures. Exqui- site bracelets, rings and neck- laces have been fashioned from bone, wood, teeth, peb- bles, seeds, stones and shells. While one usually thinks of jewelry as part of a woman's wardrobe, actually men have been just as involved. Aside from beauty, jewelry has been used to show rank, au- thority and power and status symbols are as ancient as his - 'tory. Thanks to modern industry, jewelry once again heed not' depend ; upon precious metals and stones. Ingenuity and plastics have created costume jewelry, as it's called, both striking and difficult to distin- guish from rare materials un- less one is an. expert. And now it's possible to make jewelry from recycled products so that even such a taken -for -granted and unin- spiring item as an egg carton can be transformed into an at- tractive neckpiece. One Of the innumerable polystyrene or soft plastics bears the trade name Styro- foam and is used extensively for food packaging. Many su- permarket eggs come cradled in cartons of pastel pink, green and yellow. This packed -like -snow foam sub- stance cuts easily and proves perfect for quick jewelry making. With a pair of pink- ing shears one can get all sorts of intricate results. Practice designs and shapes. Use the catch -like container part, that has holes for fastening the lid,s the il- lustration suggests foe a pen- dant or frontispiece. Then, string the various pieces to- gether on a length of bright yarn or plastic thread. The re- sults may not be on display with the crown jewels in the Tower of London, but you will have a costume addition that is bound to attract compli- ments. CARTON TO NECKLACE — Styrofoam egg cartons can be recycled, into lovely pastel -colored jewelry. DIAMOND CHESS—Over fifty individual pieces go to make upthis award-winning diamond chess -set pendant. Each chessman Is detachable ,and ,can be used. for play on the onyx and ivory magnetic board. The two.sets of tweezers for moving the minute pieces are found in the chain. Each white gold chessman is set with a. diamond. Designed by David Reid, a young craftsman from Toronto, this design won an award this fail in the Dia- monds -Tomorrow Competition, sonsored by De Beers Consolidated Mines, Ltd. He re- ceived his award at a special ceremony held at the Art Gallery' of Ontario, November 12. Q. How can 1 prevent plastic fab- rics from sticking when folded and stored away? A. By sprinkling some talcum powder on them. Q. How can 1 remove marks left in carpeting by heavy furniture? A. Try holding a hot steam iron ver ,them about two inches away from the rug, and then brushing up the nap. Or, go over the marks with a vacuum cleaner. Or, dampen with warm water, then tub with the edge of a coin. Q. How can I make rubber suc- tion cups adhere better to a flat surface? A. By rubbing the inside rim with some wet soap — or with glycerin. Q. How can I soften up some co- okies that have become too hard for easy eating? A. Put several pieces of fresh bread in with the cookies, and in a few hours they will be soft enought to enjoy. Q. How can 1 renovate some foam hair curlers that have become flattened? A. Revive them by holding them under hot water. Right before your eyes they will return to their natural shape. Q. How can I make my candles longer -lasting and non-smoking? A. By soaking them in thick soap- suds, being careful not to wet the wick. Let them dry in the holder before lighting and they will burn more slowly, releasing no smoke at all.
