Mo. mm We hear that the National Safety council has a new prob lem to worry about. It seems that an increasing number of Americans are being injured each year because they try to walk through glass doors. One report said that the council had appointed a committee to study the problem and offer solutions. One person was quoted as saying the doors should be made of some other non-breakable, clear material such as plastic. Well, Brother-in-law Henry solved his glass door problem and very inexpensively. The door became a problem soon aft er installation - Henry and to walk through when it was closed. No one was seriously injured, but heads were bumped and the individuals felt quite silly. We know they did, because this happened once to us - we tried to walk through a glass door at the Shasta ski lodge, and were frightfully mortified. Henry decided that what call attention to the fact that the glass was there, something decorative and yet not too conspicuous. He at length pasted to the glass, about half-way up the door, three plastic decals of similar, sunburst design in varying sizes. They work. Oc cupants of the house going back and forth through the door to the patio scarcely notice tried to walk through the closed door since. Mrs. Theodore O. Wedel, new assistant general secretary (or program for the National Council of Churches, and a past president of the United Church Women, says that Christian women of this nation are beginning to turn their attentions "outward" instead of "inward." In an interview with Jessie Ash Arndt, carried in the Christian Science Monitor earlier this summer, Mrs. Wedel said that she and her husband, Honorary Canon of Washington Cathedral and instructor of theology, as believe that "there is an awakening to the interpretation of Christian service in terms of individual Christian living and the ministering to human need. She believes that Christian women will work toward setting up interfaith activities with Roman Catholic and Jewish women, and says that prove race relations. She also noted that men and women are working more closely together in churches and said "perhaps the last stronghold of segregation ol men and women is the church." Mrs. Wedel noted that the cently began to develop concern for the place of the env ployed woman in the activities of a book "Employed Women ber of President Kennedy's committee on the Status of Women and chairman of the subcommittee on New and Ex panded Services for Women, she thinks much could be done to make life easier for the woman who holds a job in busi ness or industry. She listed child-care for working mothers and housekeeping help. This thoughtful woman believes that the spirit of volun tary service has been dampened in this country by the in creasing tendency of government to take over welfare serv ices and says there is an increasing willingness to leave everything to a paid staff-even in the churches. Mrs. Wedel hopes that "a revivial of the spirit of the volunteer will be one result of emphasis on the responsi bility of the individual to take his Christian living into his community life, his politics and his concern for international affairs."

Dermatologist Explains Treatment of Aging Skin Editor's Note: Turn back the hands of time leaving a zig-zag trail of wrinkles on your face? Advances in the treatment of prematurely aging skin sometime accom p 1 1 s h that seemingly re markable feat. In the fol lowing dispatch, the third .of three, you'll learn how it's done. New York IUPII It's never loo early or too late to do something about aging skin. Although aging itself can not be arrested, some of its signs need not be inevitable. Some can be prevented with protection and proper skin care. Others can be eliminated through surgery such as a "resurfacing" operation in which the upper layer of skin is planed off. These are the conclusions of medical researchers look ing into the problem of how skin grows old. Many Factors "Many factors play a role in the aging of skin," says Dr. John M. Knox, associate pro fessor of dermatology at Bay lor university college of me dicine, Houston, Tex. These include heredity, dis ease and metabolic disturb ances. As one grows older, many functions of the skin undergo a gradual decline. The glands beneath the sur face become less active, and the network of supportive connective tissue loses much of its elasticity. The result: wrinkles and a dry, coarse skin. Sunlight appears to be the most common cause of skin that grows old before its time. Compares - With a team of Baylor re searchers, Dr. Knox compar ed light and dark-skinned persons, those who work out doors and those who work in side. They found greater evi dence of skin damage among light-skinned people who I work outdoors. There were Skirts Capris tps Lingerie Foundations Stretch Pants Dresses no detectable miscroscoplc changes in unexposed areas of the body. This appears to confirm warnings dermatologists have been making for some time: Avoid excessive exposure to the sun. Its ultraviolet rays damage the delicate network of tissues and glands and speed the skin's aging process. Sun tan is a response to in jury and undoubtedly a per son's skin does not benefit by being injured, Dr. Knox says. Skin cancers, doctors also ob serve, occur more frequently among people who have been exposed a lot to the sun and weather. New Hope Scientific presentations at dermatology meetings reveal that advances in recent years provide new hope for older people who want to improve their skin's appearance. A growing number of peo ple are getting "new skin" through an operation called dermabrasion. It is recom mended, Dr. Knox reports, for smoothing out scars and pits due to acne and as a preventive measure against skin cancers when sunlight caused degenerative changes have produced pre-malignant skin conditions. In performing a dermabras ion, the dermatologist freezes the area of the skin and then strokes the surface with a ra pidly rotating stiff brush, re moving the upper layers of the skin. This is a delicate proced dure. Dr. Knox warns, and should be done only by a phy sician skilled in treating skin conditions.
