Actress Greer Garson In London Canada Spells Opportunity, Says

E Muriel Nar-raway Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON (GP) - Actress Greer Cvuuon. here for the London pre- miere of the Hollywood film "Jul!- us Caesar" handed out a piece of advice:

"If I were a young man," she told reporters at a penthouse prom conference, "I'd settle in Caltada. It's an exciting country with so many opportunities."

The red-haired actress recently made "Scandal at Scourle." a fam- ily story with a Canadian back- ground. Her co-slur was Walter Pidgeon. once of smut John, N. B. Miss Garson said she was "very sorry" the Canadian scenes in the film were shot in Hollywood in- stead of on the spot

"I'm always pronil.-.iiis: niysei-I another trip to Czuiarla,” she said. "It would have been a chance to combine business iiiih pleasure.”

Coiulm In Canada

Min Garson has Scottish fft!.l5L.'lS she wants to it in Penlicron. BC. and she's i to meet 3 well-known Cillillllliiil relative with Thom she has excliaizzed letters- austlce Minister Stuart Gnrsort

"l-Issxidinoneletterhewns glad to see I was keeping the Gu- son name in the news...with the right kind of publicity." she said. The justice minister is a cousin.

During the Beoond World War Miss Garson made three coa.9t-t10- coast trips across Canada to boost the sale of war bonds. One of her "nice " memories is of a post-war "tnank you" dinner given by the Canadian government for the stars who aided in wartime rallies. She still has pleasant mem- ories of the Fraser river salmon that was part of the meal.

Speaks On Shakespeare

The Irish-born actress now spends what little time she has away from Hollywood at her hus- bandls ranch in New Mexico. In 1949 she married oil magnate Eli- glah Buddy Fogelson. She has a small herd of pure-white beef shorthorns. raised from cattle bought in Scotland.

While in Britain. Miss Gal-son gave informal talks on Shakes- peare as adapted to films. The first was at Kings College. London irhere she took an honois degree as a bachelor of arts-"I'm not

going to say when."

Open weather todsyl Aye, "the melancholy month" offered con- tinuing mild weather to our and other Island farmers not yet done of their field-work.

"But borrowed timo this in." James nodded stopping of! briskly into the clean new morning to take up the chores of this place that are his. Sometimes at respec- tive early tasks we cross paths. It may be in the piggery.

"Well. here you are delaying me again, Ellenl' he will ray with 3 show of impatience. "Catching water for the hens at his tsp as though it is the only one about the place. And I wanting to get these troughs filled in I hurry so as to get at the days work! It might be I day in mid-summer for all the thought you give it . . . Couldn't you have left that until alter breakfast, because there's no limit to your time-you have all day ahead of you!" !

Or maybe we unexpectedly find him in the dimness of the cellar collecting baskets of roots for the stables. His look then holds suspic- ion. Jealously he guards the needs of the stock.

"And what were you wanting Ellen?"

"Oh." just it little msngel for the fowls-they love them!" "Love tiiem be darned! And tlittle' did you say? Now, Ellen you should have better sense than to take one as big as that; why. they wouldn't eat that in a week! You're like some of the hired men I've had: no idea of feeding at all; give the same amount to one animal or 8 number!” !

"Besides, Ellen. the hens wouldn't. earn s. mange!-not in the run of a year! We'll be needing these. every last one of them for the sows before the next crop is grown. that's what we will . . . You never were much of ll poultry- wonian anyway Ellen, because you Just couldn't seem . . "To cackle for them!" chuckle, bearing off our prize.

"Days of grace tender! in the interests of another seedtime" we commented this morning. His voice floated to us at the door.

"Well, whatever it is. it's great weather for the farm-work. Not that we're not pretty well along now. with the plowing entering the holrc stretch . . . but we still have the rest of those stable floors to 'runl and . . . "but we lost him then within the shadow of the plsizery.

Into the shades of night again the plowing runs; at present the lights glow in a field of Mr. A's farm which climbs the rise of val- ley beyond the millstream. We shiver, thoughts with the plowmsn for there is frost tonight and the air is chill. But here the hearth fire glows and there is scent of maple from the evening-sticks Jamie selected for us. He is in bed. Gage too. their last words about the attain of the morning to come-the trapping, the chores. the school: their days are full.

Borrowed time we may have or days of grace. In any event, our farmers hailed happily this one of November's fine offerings to bring the field-work it day's march nearer its close.

MOST PATIENTS RETURN TO NORMAL AFTER A BRAIN STROKE

Now that brain strokes and heart strokes are becoming increasingly common. it should be remembered that they are both caused by high blood pressure. While we have all been reading and hearing much about heart. strokes, we have not been hearing and reading about brain strokes-apoplexy.

some months ago I Wrote about small brain strokes as reported by Dr. Walter Alvarez, Mayo Clinic. in Geriatrics, the journal devoted to the study of aging individuals, Dr. Alvarez, who is the editor, writes an account of an addres by

aged persons mid, piirticularly. those who have had I1 brain stroke As many physicians, after giving immediate care. do not follow up these cases. Dr. Rusk and his col- leagues are trying to leach physic- fans to give these unhappy oldsters a better deal. There is much they can do for them. "Often the first thing to do is to give some hope to patient and his family to build up their morale."

Notwithstanding the stroke, if it appears that the thinking and character-forming parts of the brain have not been too greatly in- jured, the patient can be reminded of persons like Pasteur who lived for 2'! years after B. serious stroke and during this time did most of his great work for humanity."

While it is true that some strokes put an end to the patients useful life, other strokes leave him in such good condition that he can re- turn to his office and run his busi- ness as well as ever for many years.

The first thought. is to reassure the patient that ihough- he may have addltiofial strokes, he will still be able to go back to his regu- larlwork; that he can live for years without having another stroke, or. even should they recur, he will not necessarily lose out.

"When the patient is mentally slowed up, irritable, and full of complaints after a. stroke. the doc- tor can do much for him by ex- plaining to his family what has happened to his brain and induc- ing them to be more understanding and more sympathetic." The doctor in s. big city can often find a. train- Od Speech Worker who can do much to help the person with an aphasia (loss of speech) to speak again. Also, is trained physiotherapist can keep the muscles in arm or leg In good condiuon until their strength comes back. .

And. finally. Dr. Rusk suggests that in some cases. the doctor should send away occasionally the harassed wife. almost worn out with mnstsxit. care of the invalid. for a little rest so that she will not break down completely.

2. TUESDAY: Read the story not so long ago-"The Man Who Wouldn't Talk". How oould any man endure the tomient he en- dured snd say no more than "I don't know". until finally he was released by the Germans. It is a story of George Dupre. a Canadian who entered British Intelligence in the early years of World war II. For nine months he was trained to act like "a village half- wit". so that he could play the part of a French garage mechanic (slightly addled) after he was par- achuted into German territory.

There the Nazis captured and tortured him with sulphuric acid treatments, poured boiling water into his mouth, pressed his fingers in a vise, and beat him savagely. But through it all Dupre main- tained his stoic silence. "It doesn't seem possible", we thought as we re-read the story in plot. Turned out it was impossible and head- Ilnes of one large Canadian news- paper captioned the story "Calgar- ian Admits Secret Service Story Was A Fabrication. George Dupre Tells The Herald He Never Was In France As A Spy". And so. "The Man who Wouldn't Talk" is going to be in the fiction section
