Skin Blemishes Can Cause
Rough Time For Youth
By DOROTHY V. WH1UULE. M.D.
Ay Newsfeatures
THERE IS HARDLY AN ADO
LESCENT who doesn't have a' few
skin blemishes on his face from
time to time. Most youngsters go
through the teens with only a few
minor and occasional pimples, but
there are always the few who have
a rough time of it for a year or
two.
The most serious thing about
acne is not the physical harm it
does to the skin, but the damage it
may do to the personality. Acne
is a disease that never endangers
life but* it is one that may ruin it.
At no time in life is a person more
aware of his appearance, more sen
sitive about being unattractive than
in those early years of budding
maturity.
The exact cause of acne is not
known. However there are many
bizarre superstitions about the
cause that, while they have no
basis in fact, nevertheless persist.
Acne has nothing to do with bad
blood, social disease or sexual ir
regularity.
Many a youngster, hearing such
stories and finding a pimple on his
face, convinces himself that now
the whole world knows what a
worthless creature he is.
Acne comes at adolescence. At
this time of life the oil glands
deep in the skin seem to work
overtime and send an extra amount
of oil through the skin pores. This
oil is sticky. Dirt from the air
adheres to the oil and plugs the
pores making blackheads. If germs
happen to be in the dirt pimples
develop, sometimes even large
cysts.
Tl*/> ? 4 I 4
a iic in at pinicific in uit; crrai
ment of acne Is cleanliness?keep
that sticky oil off the face as much
as possible. ?
Every night the youngster should
wash his face with hot water and
soap. Spend some time at this
job. Apply a hot wash cloth to the
face, then rub in a good lathery
soap, massaging the face 5-10
minutes with the fingers. Finally
wash off the soap and dash the face
with cold water and pat it dry.
A routine of extreme cleanliness
is all the treatment most young
sters need. However, if the acne
is still troublesome after a week
or so of nightly scrubs a visit to
the doctor is highly recommended.
No two cases are exactly alike;
what is good for one youngster may
be much too strong for another.
There are lotions that help, but
they must be prescribed for the
individual patient.
A few don'ts however: Don't
squeeze pimples or blackheads. You
are apt to spfead infection and
make scars. Don't ever use oily
lotions or creams. There is al
ready too much oil 09 acne skins
and more will only clog up the
pores more than ever.
Acne usually improves in the
summer. It also disappears for
good in the late teens.

Hungry Airmen
DAYTON, Ohio (API ?Hungry
Air Force servicemen last year
cleaned up 414 million dollars
worth of food.
The Air Material Command with
headquarters at Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base said this money
bought three meals a day for the
airmen at a cost of about 35 cents
per meal.
? ? ?
Soft cookies as well as hard ones
keep best in tightly covered boxes
or jars. But to keep the soft ones
moist, put a piece of fresh bread
in with them. Or try an orange,
lemon or apple?any of which will
add an extra delicate flavor.

c Are We Raising Softies?

ARE we educating our children.
to be physical, mental and even i
moral softies? '
Recent scientific studies clearly I
show that our children are woe- 1
fully Inferior to children of Euro- I
pean countries In physical <
strength and endurance. Further ;
ctudles made by the National Sci
ence Foundation Indicate that
our youth, even the bright ones,
are avoiding the study of science
and mathematics to An appalling I
degree and at the very time when 1
our growing technical needs de
mand more persons trained in
these subjects. 1
Qualified Teacher*
Also, there's been a drop of 53
per cent In the number of quail
fled teachers in these subject* In
the last five years and an almost
corresponding drop In the num
ber of high school students taking
them.
Low salaries for teachers Is one
cause of this tragedy. The pre
vailing theory of home and school
education, which holds that chil
dren should do only what they
feel like doing, Is another. Fur
thermore, the doctrine of effort
seems to be dead.
Since science and mathematics
usually require more effort than
most other subjects, more and
more youths, even the brighter
ones, choose to avoid science and
mathematics. Here, I believe, is
the crux of the matter.
o
At home, the average parent
seems to be under the impression
that the exercise of effort, needed
In good practice of helping about
the home, must be made so at
tractive the child Just can't avoid
the usual home drudgeries. But
pou and I know this theory rarely
works.
8teeped In this doctrine of no
requirements at home, parents
generally approve of practically
no requirements at school. Ac
cordingly, the parents usually
approve their child's choices of
subjects he will study In high
school, while the youth usually
chooses what he supposes will be
easiest for him.
School Society
Last summer, I heard a father
pleading with his bright stoles
cent daughter to take physics and
mathematics In her senior year.
She argued that by taking certain
other subjects Instead, she could
be sure of making a certain selec
tive school society since it re
quired all A grades. To clinch her
argument, she cited the advice of
her high school counselor which
agreed with her point.
"You might earn only a B or C
In physics or math," he told her,
"while you could easily make A's
In these other subjects."

CHICAGO?Young people are a
combination of idealism, natural
curiosity and stupendous energy,
and they want to harness this pro
ductive drive into creative chan
nels.
Charles W. Ferguson, writing for
National Parent-Teacher magazine,
the official publication of the Na
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers, says youths like emer
gencies that make them feel nec
essary.
Give them % project which means
something and makes them feel
needed, he said, and adolescents
will do an amazingly good job.
He cites some examples of what
young men and women are doing
around the country when their
energies and ideals are combined.
They have landscaped school
grounds, replanted a fire-ravaged
woodland, helped blind and sick
neighbors, raised money to pave
the streets of their town, rid their
community of poison ivy and
raised funds for a church.
"Many youth activities are
focused on problems that are be
yond what migh} be considered the
normal conecrns of youth," says
Ferguson.
In Tacoma, Wash., high school
students interviewed adults on the
kind of local government they
thought most appropriate for their
community. In New Rochelle, N.
Y? they made a careful study of
traffic conditions and placed their
findings before the city council.
In Webster Groves, Mo., students
studied the question of the use of
public swimming pools by all races
and presented their findings with
a recommendation for a local com
mission on human rights.
If all such cases could be com
piled and codified they would make
an encyclopedia of social hope,
Ferguson said.
