SUNBURN TIME AGAIN
This year, as always. Piedmont will be
faced with the problem presented by over
anxious nature lovers overwhelmed by the
desire for a deep tan. Trouble is, rushing
things usually winds up a pretty painful
proposition.
This year, take it easy. You'll get a bet
ter tan, and it won't hurt .Brunettes should
start out with no more than 30 minutes ex
posure, blondes 20 minutes, redheads 15.
Protect yourself with a good sun-tan oil,
and if you can't wait for that tan, get an
oil which has iodine added. If you do get
a burn, take a hot soapy shower as soon
os possible after exposure, then, and only
then, coat the burned areas with a burn
cream. Noxema or Unguentine are both
good. Have fun, but remember, "It's bet
ter to be safe than sorry."
DON'T BE SILLY, YOUDIDNT
FORGET AHYTHINQ
A sweet young thing breezed into a flor
ists shop, dashed up to the elderly gent
running the place, saying "Do you have
any passion poppy?
The old gaezer looked up in surprise. "Gol
ding it, "he said, "just you wait "til I
get finished prunin' this rose.
THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH
while logging a few years ago, I helped
to cut a tree that was more than 200 years
old. In counting its growth rings, we
found one series covering 11 years in
which the rings were barely discernible .
These denoted a cycle of drought.
"The tree sure didn't grow much in that
period, | said.
My companion was a wise, philosophical
old uncle and he replied, "On the con
trary, the tree probably never mode more
important growth than in those years."
He saw I was puzzled and continued: "It
had to put its roots down farther and far
ther, year after year, to get nourishment
where there was moisture enough to help
it assimilate needed minerals. Now look
here where the next rainy season began.
Here are half a dozen years in any one
of which the tree trunk expanded more
than in all 11 dry years. Why? Because
of the deep unseen strengthening of the
root system in the ad^rse years."
He let me think that over, and then con
cluded,"Remember as you go through life,
you'll have times when there'll seem no
possibility of getting farther ahead .Then
is the time to grow inside, and if you do,
you will be amazed how you will expand
when the right conditions prevail again.
