Langdon reported in to Bulle tin sports central Tuesday that he had a hole-in-one. "I was surprised as anyone to get a hole-in-one, especially on the seventh. It's a tricky hole. "You have to get it between the giant's legs and then across a bridge and througli a wind- null without being stopped by its blades. Those blades move fast, but if you hit the ball too hard, it will jump right out of the cup. "The only hole that is more difficult is the 18th (the woman who lives in the shoe).

WEDNESDAY, MAY 29,1991 Board May Cease Non-Emergency Ambulance Service Polk County may soon get out of the non-emcrgency, medical transportation business. During its second budget work session, held all day Sat urday, the Polk County Board of Commissioners examined several departmental budgets, including the Sheriffs Depart ment and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The board will meet again for more work on the budget at 5 p.m. Thursday at the courthouse annex. "The medical transport was supposed to be a self- supporting crew," said board chairman Jeannie Martin Tues day. "It has turned out that it is costing us a lot to do non emergency transports."

But the rays that give you that coveted bronzed look can cause long- and short-term harm to your skin. The best way to guard against the harmful effects of the sun's rays is to protect yourself. So if you spend long periods of time out of doors, you need to wear a hat to protect your face and neck. Arid you should apply a sunscreen to skin not covered by clothing. Sunscreens are oil, lotions or gels that scatter or absorb ultra- violet light. Tlie Food and Drug Administration now gives sunscreens a number called a Sun Protection Factor. The number is based on how long a sunscreen allows you to stay in the sun without turning red. The higher the number, the greater the protection. An SPF 15 is best for the United States and any factor higher is an overkill. The Polk County Extension Homemakers will be informed on how to keep the body from being overexposed to the sun for their June Program. Glenda Boone with the American Can cer Society, and Eloise Johnson, Extension Home Economist, will provide club leaders with educational materials. If you are interested in attending an Extension Home- maker meeting, call 894-8218. Community Reporter
