Take It Easy For A Pretty Suntan By VIVIAN BROWN @ Newsfeatures Beauty Editor It can take only a few minutes in the summer sun to make you look — and feel: — like a boiled When you’re suffering through the blisters, it will be little con- solation to know that you have lots of company. Every summer a high percentage of bathers ignore all the advice of the American Safety Council, the U. S. Public Health Service and other sources, As a result, more than eight mil- lion days will be lost through sun- burn absenteeism and the same number of days will be spent in misery by broiled humans. Here are some suggestions by sun authorities for a safe and pret- ty tan: “ 1, There is no exact time limit for safe sunning because skin types differ in their sensitivity to ultra- violet. As a rule, however, fair skins are quicker. to burn than olive skins, but the individual is the ‘final judge of his own skin tolerdnce. Some will find their maximum exposure is 15 minutes, Others may tolerate as much as 50 minites. 2. A good effective sun lotion ean help double the time you may safely stay in the sun.

Tynes Helps Build School In Korea A four-room primary school is being built near the Korean town of Kumgok with the help of Cpl. Louis H. Tynes, and other mem- bers of the 7th Infantry Division's 3ist Field Artillery Battalion. Tynes, whose wife, Ruth, lives at 327 Amelia St., is a truck driv- er in Battery C of the battalion, which is furnishing materials and transportation for the construction project. i He entered the Army in October, 1952 and completed basic training at Camp Breckenridge, Ky., be- fore arriving overseas in April of last year. . Suit Backfires MEMPHIS, Tenn. @ — A. N. Thompson demanded. $20,000 dam- ages. from the Air Force in a Federal Court suit—but he is having to pay the air force $84, instead. Judge M. S. Boyd ruled yester- day that the Memphis man’s suit— claiming personal injuries after his ear collided with an Air Force truck — was without merit and showed Thompson guilty of gross negligence. , So the judge ordered Thompson to pay for damages to the Air Force truck in addition to court costs. BOSS AIDS PICKETS NEWARK, N.J. W —: The boss showed ’emi he was a real regular guy—he carried the picket sign while the striking employes rested. “My boys have been striking for two weeks, and they’re tired,” George Schanerman, owner of the Academy Auto Laundry said yes- terday. ‘What the heck, I’m a reg- ular guy!” first day. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may result in a painful and serious burn or a tan that will peel away quickly. 4. You can take less sun at the beach where reflection by sand and water doubles the intensity of ultraviolet than you can take near grass or trees. You'll need to wear lotion on cloudy or hazy days, too. 5. Oiliness has nothing to do with the effectivenss of a sun pre- paration, so be wary of picking up just any oil from pantry or medi- cine chest to use as a sun screen. 6. Be sure to coat yourself with sun lotion after each swim and whenever your skin begins to feel dry. Sun allegy creams are avail- able, which are said to block out all sun rays and if applied to sen- sitive areas such as nose, lips, shoulders, back of the knees will help insure safe sunning.

Musical Feud Is Revived RALEIGH, N.C. (#—A musical feud between a revival preacher and the operator of a drive-in res- taurant broke out here again last night. : Armed with several super-ampli- fiers attached to his juke box, Sam Bell cut loose with music at the revival meeting across the street after he said evangelist Douglas H. Poole had violated anti-noise truce. The revivalists held fast and matched their hymns against the blare of ‘‘Awake, Rattle and Roll,” BARRETT RELIEVES BROWNELL AT NAVSTA Lieutenant William F. Barrett, Jr., USN, of Salisbury, Mo., re- cently reported to the Key West Naval Station for duty as Person- nel Officer." He -has relieved Lt. Wallace G. Brownell, who will this week leave for duty at Sasebo, Japan, after serving here for nearly three years. Mexico’s population increased 75 per cent between 1920 and 1950 says a United Nations report. This Rock Of Ours By Bill Gibb On my desk there are some not- es pertaining to electricity, gravity and magnetism. I can’t remember why I jotted them down but they certainly were not intended for a Saturday column. Nevertheless, the idea just struck me that here were subjects which could be tied in as perfect illustrations of the effect of seemingly intangible for- ces. ‘The agnostic individual so often scoffs at spiritual forces because — to him — they cannot be seen, heard, or felt. Talking to such a person is somewhat similar to in- forming a savage that ao little strand of wire can carry a jolt- ing shock of electticity. Principal difference betweel}'the two cases is tha. the savageiean be convinc- ed — even againsthis will — mere- ly by charging the'wire and touch- ing him with it. You can rub spir- itual values into anagnostic’s brain all day long but umtil he ready to believe, he will never be able to feel their force. It is my opinion that the word “intangible” dogs not belong in the vocabulary of a truly religious in- dividual. Not if the word is being used in connection with spiritual values, at any rate. Have you ever been in a busy office when some strange man or woman would en- ter — brining with him or her a feeling of Peace and Love? Can you say that the change in the atmosphere was actwally caused by anything but a tangible quality which reached out and made con- tact with your Inner Self? Of course, if you're not willing to accept — Love, for instance — you can short circuit it in much the same manner ag electricity can be blocked simply by pulling a switch. Objectional Subject There are some readers who feel that I should’t touch on this type of subject in a newspaper column. Their opinion doesn’t bo- ther me because they are certain- ly not forced to read this. How- ever, by discussing religious to- pics at times, there is always the chance that someone along the line may be helped — even me, the guy who is doing the discuss- ing- I think that the embarassed, shameful feeling many of us have for a person talking about God is a prime example of adult infanti- lism. It is sort of like a sixteen year old girl who lives in dread of her parents committing a ‘faux pas’ in front of her latest beau. False modesty, we call in in youth — plain, downright ignorance is a better term for the same feelnig in the adult. Virtues Over and over, “This Rock of Ours” has repeated the cardinal virtues of justice, temperance, for- titude, and prudence. Life becom- es more understandable when we strive to gain these qualities. For the really complete life however, we must go further by also adopt- ing the’ theological goals of Faith, Hope, and Charity. It isn’t this column’s purpose to convert readers to any religion. It does desire to eliminate the false modesty which prevents general, public discussions of religious sub- jects. Visit the church of your | choice this week-end and brush up on spiritual topies. Wel’ll continue this talk next Saturday.

Ruby Dickerson and her or- chestra will play for the dancing and State Senatorial-nominee Bill Neblett will be on hand to play the piano and lead commun- ity singing.

Ross, the “Irish ballad singer,” and Dow Thompson, baritone, will al- so appear on this star-studded show. “Cheating Heart Charlie,” bet- ter known as Charles Felton, and that “love song soloist,” Paul Monsalvatge have each promised their best efforts for this very worthy cause. Added attractions will be the “Frankie and Johnny Kid,” Perey Lones, and Dewey Riggs.

Key West children have been there for treatment in the hospital that is really a home. It is located in the ridge sec- tion of the state in the quiet, little town of Umatilla.
