•• aKv ;
healing action on certain skin dis
orders. Adolescents almost rou
tinely report that their acne im
proves during summer months.
Most of sunlight’s advantages,
say medical authorities, come
from what goes with sunning—
fresh air, exercise, relaxation,
and socializing. (No one with
normal nutrition needs the extra
vitamin D that sunlight can gene
rate on the skin surface.) And
for many (even the forewarned),
summer sunlight will mean at
least one painful—and avoidable
—burn.
What’s the best way for a sun
bather to avoid burning? Always
apply a sun-screen lotion before
spending more than a few min
utes in the sun. And don’t de
pend for burn protection on a
self-tanning preparation unless
its label states that' it also pre
vents sunburn. Start with no
more than 15 minutes of sun the
first day. Increase by five
minutes a day. Staying in the
sun longer won’t hurry the tan
ning process. Just so much skin
thickening will take place with
the initial exposure and just so
much natural skin pigment
(melanin) will migrate to the up
per layer of skin to produce the
tanning. Asa rule of thumb,
your first sunbath shouldn’t ex
ceed 15 to 30 minutes (depend
ing on whether or not you burn
easily) ; next day, an additional
15 or 30 minutes; briefer time—
starting at 5 minutes—for in
fants and small children. These
times assume you are not using a
suntan preparation. The weather,
time of day, geographic area, al
titude are all factors which must
be considered in addition to
length of exposui-e.
Be patient, it has now been
found that the greatest tan takes
up to ten days to develop. This
mean a slow tan, but continuous
daily exposure a little at the time
will be less painful and more
lasting.

BY JOHN SHERRELL
There was once a young man
who worked as an apprentice un
der a famous stained glass artist.
The famous artist designed and
made the most beautiful windows
in the country.
The young apprentice gathered
up and saved every tiny piece of
glass the artist let fall on the
floor. Then one day the young
man took the tiny bits and pieces
he had saved and began making
a window of his own creation.
After months of labor—his win
dow was completed.
To make a long story short—
the window made from bits and
pieces was acclaimed as the most
beautiful ever made. The young
man became famous in his own
right as a great artist.
There are many fragments of
time and life that can be turned
into great accomplishments. The
bits and pieces are important,
and the wise use them effective

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many
friends and Jerry’s friends in
Jackson for their kind messages
of sympathy. All of them were
and still are a great comfort to
us. Jerry loved Jackson, it was
his second home. He and his
brother Bob spent many happy
summers at Grandmother’s. Each
summer brought anew experi
ence and more excitement. What
a thrill it \Vas when Uncle Ralph
finally decided he was old enough
to help at the sale barn. One
summer it was eating green ap
ples and being rushed to Dr. Jim
—another summer it was getting
in a nest of water mocassins
while swimming in the river—
fortunately no one was bitten.
He had so man/ happy memories
of his visits to Jackson and never
forgot any of them. We are
deeply grateful to all of you for
accepting him in your hearts and
homes. May God bless you.—
Marshall, Emily and Bob Evans.
