Just look al tho thnncanHc nf i->nnr>ln viiv/v?UMiiv?a wi puv/pic roasting their bodies on the beach. Everyone knows that the sun's rays can burn the delicate human epidermis. Everyone knows that it's wise to tan gradually. Yet millions of us will try to get a whole season's suntan in a single weekend. We'll turn lobster-red. blister, swell, and peel. We'll be miserable on Monday, feel better by Friday, and try again on Saturday. Some will be burned seriously enough to need medical attention. Why do we do it? The therapeutic value of sunshine, highly rated in the past, has been scaled down bv modern medical opinion. We have more reliable sources of Vitamin D in butter, milk, eggs. Beat the Heat How hot does it have to get before the heat begins to get you down? Experts say that when it goes above 86 degrees we are apt to slow down. We can expect hundreds of daytime hours each year when the mercury goes surging past that 86 degree mark! Now instead of just talking about the weather like most folks do ? let's do something about it. Of course, we can't put a shade on the sun or whip up a cool rain when things get too hot, but there are some things you can do to make those dog days more bearable. Here are some simple ways to beat the heat? Drink plenty of liquids, so you'll have plenty of moisture : 1.. i_ 1 _ r * ^ aviiiuiuie lor sweaung. Kcmonibcr, evaporation of perspiration off the skin is the main feature of man's builtin cooling system. Avoid alcohol and ice water. Instead drink cool water and citrus fruit juices. Eat vece tables and easy - to - digest foods. Increase your salt intake to replace the salt lost through sweating. Should the body lose too much salt, heat sickness may result. Dress for the heat. Wear loose clothing that lets the air circulate. And remember, when the gsrs eoiuMN\ bout Sun cod liver oil, and vitamin pills, not to mention the many foods that have artificially added vitamins. Let's face it. We lie in the sun purely for pleasure and vanitv. If wn must rln it lot'u make it as easy on ourselves as possible. Use a preparation that screens out the burning rays of the sun. Reapply it frequently, because perspiration as well as bathing will wash it off. Start with ten minutes of exposure and increase the dosage gradually through the season. Wear good sunglasses. Lubricate the skin to prevent drying. Keep your hair covered so it won't become brittle and discolored. Remember that you're safer before 10 a.m. and after 3 p.m. Only "mad dogs and English men go out in the noonday , sun." - - Play It Cool temperature rises people don't get hot on the outside alone, j They get burned up inside too. The heat makes them more irritable and critical. They get hot under the collar and feel the need to blow off steam. The excessive heat ' makes it hard to concentrate 1 on the work at hand and re- ( suits in an increased sense of \ fatigue. And as you might 1 expect, these emotional ef- 5 fects of heat aren't good for safety. They result in one's < being more prone to accidents. 1 So when the temperature J goes up outside, make a spe- s cial effort to keep your tern- 1 per down inside. Avoid things ? that may irritate you. You < can beat the heat by playing it cool! t ACTIVITY HIG1 'Vi '.V*1 f 1 a * 4*V? K i Hundreds are weekly enjoying cool, refreshing, swims t in the Clinton-Lydia Pools, r Swimming lessons on a no r cost basis were begun for non-swimmers on June 19th.

R. Lindsey of Draper, N. C. says is the transcription of a conversation between two anglers meeting on a lake: "Hiyamac" "Lobuddy" "Bineaulong?" "Cuplours" "Ketchanenny?" "Goddafew" "Kindarthey?" "Bassencarp" "Ennysizetoom?" "Uupiapowns" "Hittenard?" "Sordalite" "Wochoozin?" "Gobbawurms" "Fishanonaboddum?" "Rydonnaboddum" "Igodago" "Tubad" "Steyaround" "Yeahtakindeazy" "Guluk" Safety Competence Successful accident prevention does not depend on any one person or a handful of people. The supervisor, or the man or woman on the job, a Safety Department, or the interest of just some of the people?are not sufficient for real safety "competence." Accident prevention is a ehain. no stronger than its weakest link. Everyone ? inihvidually, and as a group? must be entirely competent in the carrying out of proper 3UiV.VJ pi U\. IIVV-O. Each of us must look to our )wn safety competence. Do ive perform our own jobs as afely as possible? Do we assist others in accident prevention? When everyone can inswer "Yes" to both of these questions ? then true safety competence" has been atained. H AT POOLS %' "I .
