8 c ? 21 N By Myrtle F1 Lucky Ole Sun' C Many employees have started spending weekends at the lake and many more are planning week long vacations at the beach. Some, who realize tne importance of gradual exposure to the sun's rays, are obtaining a painless, even tan that will really be worthwhile, but others will probably overexpose themselves the first time and end up with a bad sunburn. For anyone who is doubtful as to how long to remain in the sun the first time, the best advice is "moderation." As in most other things, your best bet is to start slowly, conditioning yourself for increasing time in the sun just as a pitcher warms up before a ball game bv throwing slowly to loosen up. Sunburn seems to be something that most folk know too little about, judging from the large number of serious cases each year. Because of the recurrent suffering that some men and women endure, there is much to indicate that experience is not necessarily the best teacher. Common sense would seem to be the rule of thumb. There is also a dollars-aiidcents reason for Plant employees to avoid sunburn. The Disability Wage Plan, which provides for full pay in periods of illness after a two-day waiting period, does not cover absence from work caused by sunburn. Keep in mind that from early summer to early fall, sunburn can be acquired very easily. Many people could avert severe suffering or acute illness by simply being cautious and sensible. This is no unimportant matter, either. Some Coarse . . . Some Fine . . HE GOT IT Patient: "Doctor, what I need is something to stir me up?something to put me in fighting trim. Did you put anything like that in this prescription." Doctor: "No, you will find that in the bill." ALL ALLERGIC? Three ladies were having tea at the Waldorf. The first said: "Mv husband bought me some diamond bracelets, then my skin broke out and the doctor said I was allergic to diamonds and we had to return them." The second said that her husband had bought her a fur coat which had to be returned because she was allergic to furs. The third lady fainted. I ISJES eOLUMNl Vest, R.

It makes T no difference whether you " are burned bv fire, steam, acid, or the sun's rays?each is serious and could be fatal. In getting a gradual suntan. 1 a few simple precautions will help protect your skin: 1. Expose your body for no more than 30 minutes the first day, and gradually increase the amount of exposure time each day out after \ that. j 2. Use suntan lotion on the exposed areas of your body. 3. Protect your eyes from * direct sun rays with sunglasses. 4. Don't fall asleep in the sun. ' 5. Remember that you can get burned from reflected sun ' rays on overcast days and J under a beach umbrella. l If you have taken the proper * precautions, the result should be a slight reddening of the skin and perhaps some tenderness, but no pain. Blistering is evidence of too much sun at one time and repre- \ sents a second degree burn. Normally, the developing of increased pigment in the skin (tanning) is a slow process requiring several days before appreciative protection from the sun can be built up. As long as you don't rush things, and as long as you use common sense, your body can function pretty much by itself in the routine matter of getting a suntan. ^ t%M4 c r .
