Becker of the University of Illinois has hopeful news. Addressing the American Academy of Derma- tology in Chicago last month he reported that the highly public- ized "suntan pills" not only pro- tect against sunburn and in- crease tanning, but are helpful in fighting eczema, vitiligo (white spots) and psoriasis. At first these pills, called psoralens, seemed almost too good to be true, Now, Dr. Beck- er announced, after many months of research by several. investigators;, the manner in which the psoralens affect the skin has been clarified. "The chemicals," he said last week, "act as photosensitizers. When taken by mouth, the patient be- comes more sensitive to sunlight for about eight hours. If the skin is exposed to a small amount of sunlight at this time, the hor- ny (top) layer thickens. "After about two weeks of daily exposure, the horny layer becomes quite thick, and pro- vides a filter which protects the skin against sunburn" and, at the same time, produces a good tan, Dr. Becker added. In ordin- ary sunburn, without drugs, the skin's brown color is lost as, soon as the top layer of the skin scales off."But the horny layer produced by the psoralens does not peel, and it holds all the brown pigment" for about' six months. In this way, it would be possible to use' the suntan pills in the early summerand• be immune to sunburn for the rest of the season..

FORGOTTEN MAN Guy Williams, who stars on TV as Zorro and Don Diego, is afraid those fictional characters will corn- 'pletely overshadow his real personality. So he's hired a press agent to let people know about actor Guy Williams. Here's Guy giving the upsy-daisy to his 7 -month-old daughter, An- toinette, as wife Jolene looks on. The couple also has a 9 -year- old son. What I am about to write could -be called a 'few words for . and against small town shopping ver- sus shopping centres. My remarks also take into consideration the age and agility of the shoppers. It isn't a plug for any store, either big or small — just a few observations based 'on ma own experience. So here goes. All things being equal I like small stores. I like to shop where I am known; I like the friendly approach — "Good morning, Mrs. Clarke, what can we do for you today?" But .alas, the accommo- dation 'isn't whatit used to, be, and that in itselfcreates a hard- • ship for people past their prime. Here is an example of one day's shopping well before' the Christ- mas rush. Scene: a small but bhsy nearby town. Trouble started in finding a place to park. My first call was at the bank. (Wouldn't you know. it?) It was busy, with as many people behind the wickets as in front yet only one teller was available: I stood in line for some time. There were two chairs but to sit meant losing my tarn. Then I went to the drugstore— phone bill to pay, two prescrip- tions to get filled; odds and ends to buy. I went to the pharmacy counter first — only one of the druggists was on hand. In be- tween filling prescriptions he had four telephone calls — and each one lengthy. I looked around for a place to sit, There wasn't a chair in sight, nor even a spa- cious ledge. It was my first time out after battling a virus bug. It was cold outside but inside my fur coat was too' hot and felt like a ton weight. Finally I noticed a steep step to the pharmacy de- partment. I . asked the druggist could I sit there until he was through. Which I did as he didn't offer to get me a chair. My next call was for groceries. That wasn't too bad. There was parking space and I got along fine until it came to checking out. Then of course I had to wait my turn as there was a clerk at only one of the pay -desks. My last call was, at a jewellers to leave Partner's watch for cleaning. The saleslady was busy with a travel- ler and apparently her business with him was more important than waiting on customers. More standing. By the time I got home I'd had it. Well, that and similar experi- ences brought about certain changes. Since then I have phoned the drugstore for any- thing I want and had them de- liver. It is more trouble for them but considerably less for me. And after all, I am the customer.. Then Partner and I considered the banking situation and de- cided to open an account with a small branch that has just open- ed up within walking distance of our home, Provisions? Well, for everyday requirements 1 shop at the little village store but I make a trip to a shopping centre about once in ten days. There I' don't And the very things i' want missing from the shelves and there is never any problem about parking. But oh dear, how vcry impersonal — no one knows me at all. But at least there is very little waiting — that is, If I choose my time and avoid the rush. hours. Department store buying . , • that's a nightmare, I do very little. Instead I use the phone and the mail order catalogues. To sum up I would suggest that small town stores offer more accommodation for customers. Surely at least one chair could be provided for those who need to rest. And wouldn't it be pos- sible for branch banks to have at least two tellers on duty at all times? Local post offices might also provide a bench or a couple of chairs for waiting customers. Well, we had another experi- ence last week, of a very differ- ent nature — a sort of seeing is believing affair. Coming through the village one day we saw a fox, right in .the middle of the road. It dodged in and out among several cottages and then sat down in an orchard, as if be- wildered. We came 'home and called the police. Two days `later a fox- hunt was organized. Re- sult, one fox killed about two miles from here. We don't know yet whether it was rabid. Next. day I took Taffy for a rabies shot. I would have taken him before but he wasn't old enough. Yesterday a neighbour reported a cat had taken a fit in her drive- way. Really this rabies outbreak has everyone worried. People . with children and animals can't be too careful. And no one should befriend any stray ani- mal' that comes around. Rough on the animals but safety comes first. Take your own animals to be inoculated. Most districts have free clinics at a central location. Inquire from the police or the Township council. Animals show no ill effects from the shot. They are luckier than humans who suffer considerably. For that rea- son, inoculation is not given unless a person has been bitten or otherwise in contact with an animal' known to be rabid. "It is alcohol, and alcohol alone that is responsible for your present plight," said the judge. "Thank you, your Honor, for saying that," the prisoner said. "You're the first person that has not said that it was all my fault."

The news is picked of radio broadcasts. At Pennsylvania Station, the Long Island Rail Road flashed newsbulletins on a screen at the start of the strike, Now it has set up a screen of 12panels slowly revolving with latest news. Items are phoned in from the city desk of the Long Island Press, one of the nine strike- bound papers. Passengers of the New York Central Railroad each night are handed one-page news, digests in the Grand Central concourse or can find them on their seats in the trains, About 45,000 such sheets are passed out daily. Out-of-town newspapers, as well as news and feature maga- zines, sell fast. The heaviest de- mand• is for stock -market and sports news, A spokesman for Hotaling's News Agency said: "They'll take any paper as long as it carries those two kinds of news." Sales of foreign periodi- cals at that agency have 'in- creased 25 to 30 per cent The Dallas News reportedly flies in 100 copies each day, one-half for prominent Texans, the rest for general sale. "Man, those crazy Texans," was the comment from -a taxi driver quoted by the Wall Street Journal (which continues to operate as usual.) Those of the city's ubiquitous newsstands still in operation sell anything remotely connected with news. 'Publications such as the Hobo News were seen sold on Park and Fifth Avenues, writes Frederick W. Roevekamo in The Christan Science Moni- tor. A team of Harvard University students sold copies of the Har- vard Crimson in a 'marathon sales campaign last week. To avoid police interference for un- licensed sales, they gave away the papers and their asked for "contributions." After at least 30 sleepless hours of selling, they told a tele- vision interviewer that the Crimson was sel'l'ing on Times Square as wen as . among Har- vard alumni along Fifth and Madison Avenues. Radio and television stations • have increased the frequency of their news; programs. WCBS-TV alone added six daily shows: one of 30 minutes, one of 25 minutes, two of i5 minutes, and two of five minutes each. Networks also are receiving editorials and reviewsof books and plays from strike -bound papers such as the New York Times and the Herald Tribune for use on the air. Broadway Theatre business reportedly is seriously slowed down, since patrons miss the reviews and ads to guide them in buying tickets.
