} BLOOD PRESSURE

The heart is muscular organ
which pumps blood to other or
gans and tissues via the arteries
After the blood has supplied the
tissues with needed oxygen and
nourishment and picked up car
bon dioxide and other waste pro-
ducts. 1t returns to the heart via
the veins.
The term blood pressure" as
ordinarily used, applies to the pres
sure or tension of the blood in the
arteries-those vessels that carry
the blood from the heart out to
the tissues and organs.
The arteries are truly a system
of pipes or tubes that distribute
blood from the central pumping
station, the heart, out to the vari-
GUS areas of the body. Unlike met
al pipes or tubes, arteries are flex-
ible and soft due to muscle and
eltstic tissue within their walls.
The muscular layer OF the ar
terry can tighten or contract n d
thereby narrow the blood carrying
capacity of the vessel. Relaxation
of the muscle layer increases the
caliber of the artery
The muscular wall of the ar
terry is constantly under contrac-
ton or tension which generates
pressure on the blood within the
artery. This pressure helps to
force blood along the distributing
system This pressure on the blood
inside the artery, caused by the
tension of the muscular wall OF the
artery, is called the diastolic blood
pressure.
When the heart contracts it
forces blood out into the arteries
This additional amount of blood
forced into the system of
arteries by the heart causes an
increase in pressure within the ar
teries. This increase of pressure
occurs with each beat of the heart
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1955-03-05

It is due TO the pressure or tension
maintained by the muscle fibers
in the wall of the arteries plus eff
feet of the hearts contraction. This
is called the systolic blood pres
sure.
In making an examination doc
tors measure both systolic and di-
aStolic blood pressure. These are
written as a fraction with the sys-
tolic pressure above the line Thus
the blood pressure of the healthy
young adult might be approximate
ly 5000.
Our blood pressure is not steady
but is subject to considerable vari-
alton and fluctuation in a normal
individual. Blood pressure will in
crease moderately during mild ex-
ercise and drop again during rest.
1t may jump up remarkably dur
ing anger and excitement and
come down quickly when one be-
comes calm and relaxed. During
sleep, blood pressure ordinarily
falls to the lowest levels
The normal blood pressure also
varies considerably with age. In
general. it is much lower in chill
dren and gradually increases with
increasing age.
At any age there is a wide nor
NAL range. A single determination
does not have the same signifi-
canoe as series of readings over
a period OF time. The doctor who
knows the individual and has made
repeated health examinations can
best interpret the meaning OF the
blood pressure

Glamour in motion. That's the
way to describe new hairdos this
season. Because, says Katherine
Potter who heads the beauty and
grooming department for Proctor
and Gamble, the newest hairdos
are so natural and young. They
curve rather than curl. They can
be windblown without looking
mussed. The secret is in a hair
cut that fits you and your hair,
and a new kind of permanent
that doesn't look like a perma-
nent.
This new permanent, called
Pin-It, makes your own hairset
permanent. Or. new one if you
prefer. Curling lotion is applied
to pin curls a fter they are rolled
up. Rinse with water at a speci-
fled time to stop the curling &C.
ton, then let your hair dry.
There's no fussing or bother. If

you usually do your hair at night,
do your Pin-It at night. In the
morning your hairset will be as
lovely as it usually Is, but your
curl will stay without resetting
between shampoos. Make your
curls small, Miss Potter says.
because small curls make your
permanent last longer. And re-
member, this permanent isn't
supposed to look like a permanent
with tight or frizzy curls. II
that's what you want, the tradi-
tional roller type permanent is
best. Pin-It is a fashion perma-
nent. 1t doesn't look like a per-
manent. 1t doesn't feel like a per-
manent. But it gives your hair a
curl that will last in the new
Curry" way. 1t makes your hair
look beautifully fashionable.

TRUTH OUTS: When he was
here last autumn with his wife
and son, MGM's executive boss,
Dore Schary was merely relaxing
around such places as Gettys-
burg.
At least that is what he said
then, undoubtedly in complete
honesty. Once back home in
Hollywood, however, Mr.. Schary
must have fallen to brooding on
Gettysburg At any rate, MGM
is now at work on a two-reel
documentary on the greatest
battle of the Civil War fought
just 80 years ago.

quailing at the prospect of a

Fatso. This is not Because they
saw Spencer Tracy lick him with

They have several better
reasons for their manly approach

be crocus culturists in real life.
Another Is that they will be see

he plays sweet, simple bumbler

Still another soothing bit of
knowledge about Borgnine is that
he spent four and one-half years
with Bob Porterfield's Garter
theater at Abingdon, Va. A more
tranquilizing, civilizing and pro-
tessionaliy useful experience, no
actor could have.
The fact is that few villains
have gentler pedigrees than
Borgnine. In New Haven, Conn,
where he grew up, he was
prize Boy Scout, high school
actor, the son of an Italian
countess and father who was
sufficiently wizard to serve in
