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." O.S.

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

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.
