. HEALTH Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. ‘Good’ tan is bad for skin By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB - Now that summer is here I would like to get a good tan. I always look better tanned than being white as lard. But I'm worried about causing my skin to look old and wrinkled. I’ve read that the sun ages your skin, but how can I get a sun tan without aging my skin? Also I’ve heard that too much sun can cause skin cancer. Is that true? I’m sure that there are lots of other readers who want to have fun in the sun without paying for it later. Any j suggestions? Incidently I'm a blonde and tend to bum easily rather than tan so that makes it doubly difficult for me. DEAR READER - You are right to be concerned. Underneath nearly every beautiful tan is skin damage. (Ultraviolet radiation in the sunshine is a perfect example of a substance that is essential to our health and life but too much can be harmful. The UV radiation is necessary for the energy that enable plant life and it stimulates the forma tion of vitamin D in our skin. The UV radiation damages , the process essential to main taining the elastic fibers in the skin. This leads to wrinkling of the skin associated with ag ing. One of the best proofs of the effects of the sun on your skin is to look at a skin area protected from the weather of an individual who has a wrinkled and weather beaten face. The protected skin may look youthful and unwrinkled. It is also true that solar radiation causes skin cancer. That is why most skin cancers are on the face and areas where the skin is exposed to sunlight. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. Fortunately most of them can be completely cured if they are diagnosed and treated ear ly. But new crops of skin cancer tend to occur, requir- . POLLY'S POINTERS Polly Cramer Starch ’em with sugar POLLY’S PROBLEM DEAR POLLY — I would like the recipe for starching ruffled doilies with sugar. — HELEN G. DEAR HELEN G. — I have never had a definite recipe. One just makes a thin boiled syrup with sugar and water. Cool and immerse doilies one at a time, wr ing out excess syrup and then shape as desired and leave to dry. Perhaps some reader can give us the quantities in a more exact form. — POLLY. DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with the pockets that most clothing manufacturers put in men’s work pants. We pay from fifteen to twenty dollars for each pair of such pants and after three weeks of wear the pockets are of no use at all. It’s as if the material used for them is almost like cheesecloth. The pants are well made but the pockets come apart. — MRS. G.F. DEAR POLLY — I have made good use of the side of my refrigerator that stands out away from the wall. A large hook was put in the wall and all of my appliance cords hang on it. They are easy to get to and not all mixed up as they might be in a drawer. — JEAN. DEAR POLLY — Kim wanted to know how to crackle ash trays or marbles to make candle holders. Place the marbles or ash trays in a 400 degree oven and leave for 10 minutes, remove and plunge into ice water. Protect your hands as the pieces will be very hot. Remove and dry thoroughly. We use a strong glue to stick them together. My son used six ash trays for his. The first was placed upside down and the second was glued on right side up. Then one was glued to each side fitting to the top of the second ash tray. They are beautiful. We use square candles and found the white or clear ones prettier than the amber. Pyramid paper weights are pretty when made of crackled marbles. Place and glue marbles on a two-inch square of plywood and continue adding and gluing until you end up with only one marble on top. Also earrings and necklaces can be made with crackled marbles. The chain for the necklace and Grts for earrings can be bought at some variety stores. — BBIE. iinewsPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

The best treatment is prevention. To give you more information on skin cancer, those brown spots caused by the sun and aging of the skin I am sending you The Health Letter number 7-10, Your Skin: Sun, Aging, Spots and Cancer. Others who want this issue can send 50 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it. I am sorry to say there is no way you can get a good tan without damaging your skin. This is particularly true for blonde people like you. Realizing that people will get a tan and want to enjoy the outdoors I can only suggest ways to minimize the dam age. The first rule is not to expose your skin for more than 15 minutes a day. Never stay out so long that the skin gets pink. That early pink flush is not the real tan. That comes a few days later and reaches its peak about three weeks after exposure. It is produced by the increased for mation of pigment in the deep layers of the skin. This pig ment helps to protect the skin from sun damage. Remember that your face is the area that is most impor tant to protect. If you lie on your back 15 minutes and then on your stomach 15 minutes part of your face will get more than 15 minutes of exposure. I think you should use a sun screen on your face. Increase your time in the sun about five minutes a day — no more. Fair people like you really need to use a sun screen all year around. I have discussed the various sun screens in The Health Letter I am sending you. Dr. Lamb answers representative letters of general interest in his column. Write to him in care of this newspaper, P.O.
