The Effecs of Sunlight On the Skin People ask If it is wise to buy an ultraviolet lamp and to use it every day through the winter so as to maintain the brown tan gotten last s u m m e r on a Southern beach. I am sorry lo have to say that able skin specialists tell us that expos ure to strong light is bad for the skin; it adds greatly to the person's chances of get ting a skin cancer. Light ages the skin. Let any elderly wo man who doubts this look at herself when she undresses for bed. At the age of 70, the skin of that part of her body that has usually been covered by clothes, and hence pro tected from light, may be re markably free from wrinkles and other signs of aging. Then let her look at the skin of her face and neck, which for a lifetime has been exposed to sunlight, and she is likely to see much -wrinkling and other signs of age. I am often distressed wnen in the office I see a woman a natural blonde who ought to have a nice white skin, but hasn't. She has worked hard, summer after summer on a southern beach lo get well tanned, and as I look at her skin, I hate to see the signs of premature aging. Also, I am impressed when I see the red, swollen ,ind deeply fissured back of the neck of a Southern farmer or rancher. Statistics show that he has many more chances of getting cancer of his face and neck than docs a farmer in Maine, where the light is less strong. During my lifetime, I must have had some three dozen beginning cancers burned oft of my face and hands - but none off of the skin of the covered parts of my body. My father had the same ex perience with many skin cancers on his face, but none on his body. Hence it is thai skin spec ialists disapprove of the present-day great desire of thou sands of men and women to get tanned on a beach, or in a car, driving with the top down and little in the way of clothes to protect the skin of the chest. Anyone who goes South to a beach should know that on the first few days the exposure to the sun should be short. I have seen young people get so badly sun burned on the first day on a beach that afterwards they had a high fever and were very ill. Similarly, the first exposure to ultraviolet rays should be very short. People think that tanning brings health, but I know of no evidence to prove this. To be sure, people often become healthy while vacationing in the sun, but I think they would have become Just as healthy if they had kept their clothes on! Should We Go Out and Walk 50 Milti? Recently, many people have been starting out lo see if they can walk 50 miles in a day. As an old mountaineer who used to think nothing nf walking 25 or even 45 miles a day through the California Sierras. I would say this: I would not advise the average man to get up from his desk and try to walk all day. Tint would put great strain on his heart, his feet, and his legs; and if he does manage to walk the 50 miles, or perhaps even 25, he is likely to spend a very uncomfortable night wilh a pounding heart, sore feet, and bad cramps in his legs. This nerd not hold Arue for the man who plays 36 holes of golf every Sunday. He keeps himself in good physical con dition. The man who for years has gotten into his car to go three blocks is the one who is in no shape to go right out to see if he can walk many miles. The man who can still pla a few sets of tennis or a cuupie ui laai games u naiiu ball will have so strong a heart that he can walk 20 miles or more without any distress. Also, his legs and feet will be strong. There is another danger that a man runs if, without any preparation for the task, h ewalks many miles. A dear friend of mine, a physician in his middle thirties, once start ed out with me to walk some 20 miles through the rugged mountains of California. Af ter an hour or two, he began to limp because of a flareup of an old arthritis in his knee joints. But he kept going and managed to reach camp by nightfal. But his knees were so "beaten up" that they never worked comfortably again, and as long as I knew him, he had to limp. And so I would say, if you have a ten dency to arthritis in your legs, you had better not try a 50-mile walk. If I, in my seventies, want ed to try a 50-mile walk, I would start wilh 5 miles the first day; and every few days I would increase the distance by five or ten miles. Then I would not be likely to do my self harm. Like that famous heart specialist, Dr. Paul Dudley While, I believe in a man's walking rapidly at least 10 or 25 blocks a day. This will lend to keep his heart in good shape, and it may stave off an attack of coronary heart disease. ' Keeping in shape may be important to your heart but a sudden exertion can in rare cases, be harmful. You'll find much information on this subject in Dr. Alvarez' book let, "Heart Trouble." Send for it by enclosing 25 cents and a self-addressed stamped en velope with your request to Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Dept. MMT, Box 957, Des Moines 4, Iowa.

CREDIT BUREAU of Medford Pendleton School Bans Two Books Pendleton, Ore. - ttlPD -Two books, including a Pulitzer prize winning novel, have been banned from English and Literature classes at Pendle ton High school. Principal G. Don Fossatti said the books were "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck and "Brave New World" by Al dous Huxley. He said they were withdrawn after a pro test was made by a spokes man for the Pendleton Evan gelical Ministers Association. The matter came lo light when a high school teacher, Don Shawe, questioned the action as being taken by "min ority forces of censorship." ; The high school administra tion said the decision was consistent with high school policy, which holds that liter ature which may offend par ents or students and whose use is not clearly justifiable is not to be assigned.
