Continuing the discussion of foods the objection to a Low fat diet 5s that the food does not taste As Good. Fat gives considerable flavor. If ordered to restrict fat to lose weight or because of High blood pressure coronary heart trouble or excessive cholesterol in your blood then you must use your ingenuity in pre paring palatable foods. Recipes for chinese and ingenuity italian dishes will give you Many excellent ideas. Not Only Are Many of them lower in fat than the average american dishes but they Are Savory. Fish and sea food can be eaten in any amount. They contain relatively Little fat of the Type which effects the increase of cholesterol in the blood. Whenever you gain weight you can be reasonably certain your cholesterol is getting higher. When you lose weight the level gets lower. However when your weight is stationary whether thin or fat the amount of cholesterol is not proportional to the amount of fat in the body. Reducing binges and then eat excessively and reducing again wherein the weight goes up and Down periodically does More harm than remaining at any one weight.

It s getting from Bank clerk to Dotty colonel by Don Cook London special Nyht when an actor has played As Many different roles and faces on the screen As Alec guinness it is per haps a Little dangerous to talk about seeing a new Alec Guin Ness in the vast production of the Bridge on the River kwai. But in fact guinness declares himself determined never to play one of those silly Little Bank clerks again what a and in his newest film he has taken on the most awkward and Complex role of his career. He plays a Brit ish army officer who pits his rather stiff and stupid character against the will of a japanese pts Soner of War commandant and wins but having won an oddly Noble Battle the officer then goes on to discipline the British prisoners of War who surrendered with him into building a magnificent rail Way Bridge in the Middle of the Jungle for the japanese oblivious to collaboration or co operation with the enemy single minded Only about the morale of his soldiers being better when usefully pm captor the Section which forbids captured officers being required played under the command of their to work. The men can work but the officers cannot. This is the seemingly stupid Issue which col. Nicholson chooses to fight out in the Bridge on the River kwai. I picture Nicholson As a not very Bright Indian army officer who would have been of much higher rank for his age if he d really been guinness said when i asked him How in fact he rationalized the role. He would be the sort who would sol Dier entirely by the Book and go off and play Bridge with a Dull Little wife at the officer s club in the evenings and who would know nothing but the Book when an own officers. Tight rope i turned the part Down guinness remarked at lunch the other Day. Each time it was re written and finally i agreed to do it but it was a real tight rope to walk. I was worried constantly about col. Nicholson turning out to be a caricature of a British officer instead of a real person. Matter fact i m still worried about it but i m tremendously glad i be done and guinness really has done it. He has taken situations which seem ludicrous and with an under lying humor he has made them often poignantly real. For example there is nothing More unlikely out d " Ever of past history than a scene in officers like that which a British colonel who has no not quite like that but i just surrendered with his men did some exceptional disciple car a u know any British in the War pulls a copy of the Geneva pro Soner of War convention out of his pocket and reads to his japanese ians when i was commanding one of those insignificant Little Landing Craft during the War. I remember one Royal Navy officer who called us together to Brief us on the Sicily landings and began by saying i m not going to bother to learn your names because by next thursday three quarters of you will be dead anyway Well it was t a remark calculated to build up your morale and word of. It got Back to the Admiral commanding the operation. He then called another briefing a Cou ple of Days later and his final remark to us was just one thing More gentlemen about next thursday. Don t eat your lunch on the Bridge. It looks very bad both were strict disciplinarians guinness added but the Admiral s touch sent everybody out feeling bucked up. In the Bridge on the River kwai guinness is called upon to do some pretty illogical acts in the cause of discipline hut Ameri cans who reflect on How discipline broke Down among american prisoners of War in Korea will find it All pretty realistic and right no matter How illogical. But if Alec guinness up silly Little Bank clerks for Ever his finely drawn portrayal of col. Nicholson has already earned him a new All i m offered now Are parts of Dotty he remarked bleakly. You d be surprised How Many Dotty colonels there Are a British what has age to do with borrowing age in so company spells because pfc is backed by 79 years experience Yon May borrow with Confidence.
