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). The
funny thing is, I almost didn't
go that night because I though
the greens would be too wet,"

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."
EMS director Lisa Wilson
last year asked the board to
allow her to run a two-man
ambulance crew primarily to
transport medical patients from
home to doctor's appointments,
or from one medical facility to
another.
At the time, Wilson said
she believed the operation could
charge enough to be self-
supporting. She said the trans
port crew also could act as a
weekday, daytime back-up to
the Advanced Life Support
(ALS) emergency ambulance
crews.

Do You Let
Your Body Fry?
A suntan is attractive. 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.
