H*w! An lavliibl. Safety Shield For 1004169,000 Sun tartar*
Over 100,000,000 Amei'lCaiia anuuaHy pursue the sun with fanatical
enthusiasm. Many are seeking its health tcivinsr benefits; all are desirous
of a good suntan that will radiate youth and health. Yet, a comparative
few, only about 18 per cent, take advantage of suntan preparations
which will promote the tan they want while preventing sic in damage.
It is estimated that at least 26 mil- ♦---

lion people get burned seriously
enough each year to require tieat-
ment
Those actively engaged in secur-
the public health encourage
adult education on the dangers of
solar irradiation since laymen are
rarely aware of the harm it can
cause. Though nearly everyone can
vividly recall the agony of a bad
sunburn, few realize the serious
ills that can also result: Burns Can
prevent pigmentation in spots or
in an entire area and thus tem-
porarily, or. even permanently, ruin
chances of acquiring a healthy
looking tan. Repeated burning can
rob the skin of its elasticity and
smooth texture. To be feared far
more is the possibility of engender-
ing a pro-cancerous skin condition
as the result of frequent over-
exposure.
The chief reason given by non-
sun lotion users for their negli-
gence is that they require no
protection. But these people need
to understand that each visit to.
the beach presents a different set
of circumstances which alters the
length of time an individual will
be able to tolerate the sun’s rays
ssfely. Until they are aware of
this, they are tempting fate.
Skol, known the world over for
its ability to promote s good sun-;
tan, is a particularly pleasant
product to use and provides sun-
security for as long a* i hours. Its
exclusive new plastic spray bottio,
makes it possible to get protection)

NIGHTS RETURN
The twilight gathers thick and
fast
The sunset skies are gray.
The sea giills flutter around the
mast
And in the glittering spray.
The night birds cry up in the
sky
The stars glitter one by one,
Upon the world dark shadows lie
Then another day-, is done.
Across the world we see the
ntoon _1
A path of burnished gold,
And over the world in somber
night
Its robes of silence fold.
O star lit night, O vanquished
frost
Bring -back another day.
That we might have the light
again
To better see our way.
To start out on a brand new
path
As we glide along life’s way, 4
To choose the course we go at
last
Through another eventful day.
That the record might be good
to stand
When time shall he no more
And footsteps guided by a hand
That lead to a better shore.
O. L. Mullican.-
