Sheldon, MD, FACS The sun makes people feel healthy. Warm and invigorating, the sun seems to give us energy. Some people even think they look good only when they have a suntan, they feel and look healthy. But the notion of a healthy tan" is entirely misleading. In order to get a suntan, you have to subject your skin to two types of rays from the sun ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. UVA is a long wave radiation that penetrates deeply into the skin and may contribute to skin cancer. UVB. a radiation, causes sunburn, premature aging, and wrinkling. UVB also causes suppression of the body's immune function, one result of which is cold sores. Another difference is that ultraviolet B rays are most intense in the summer and during short-wav- e sun-trigger- midday, while ultraviolet A is almost equally potent throughout the day and year and it can even penetrate clouds and glass. Experts predict that as many as 12 million cases of skin cancer and more than 200,000 skin cancer deaths will occur in the U.S. over the next 50 years. That's 12 million cases of potentially preventable cancer. Skin cancer is a preventable disease mainly because if you can change your attitude about the importance of getting a suntan, you can, for the most 2. part, avoid the cancer-causin- g rays of the sun. Of course you cant entirely avoid being exposed to the sun, nor would anyone really want to do that. But you can avoid the dangerous practice of lying for hours under intense burning rays at the beach or in your backyard. And if your profession calls for you to spend your day outdoors, you should begin to regard sun exposure as an occupational hazard and take the necessary precautions to protect your skin. Unfortunately, sunscreens play a limited role in skin cancer prevention. While there are products available that seem to be effective against UVB rays, very few products contain the only chemical ingredient that has been granted approval by the Food and Drug Administration for its protection against UVA rays. However, using a sunscreen especially one with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is better than not using anything at all. Despite the limitations of most sunscreen products, it's only human nature to want to spend as much leisure time as we can outdoors especially in warm weather. If your occupation places you outdoors, youll inevitably be exposed to the sun throughout your work day. Therefore, you should make a point not only of protecting your skin, but also of becoming aware of the warning signs that signal skin cancer. When detected early, skin cancer is usually curable. According to the American Cancer Society, any unusual skin condition, especially a the size or color of a mole or other darkly pigmented growths or spots, can be a sign that should be checked out. In addition, scaliness, oozing, bleeding, or change in the appearance of a bump or nodule: the spread of pigmentation beyond its border; a change in sensation: itchiness: tenderness: or pain are all warning signs of melanoma. See your doctor as soon as possible if you detect these symptoms. Remember: early detection is the key. Skin cancer is highly preventable and highly curable. But the number of its victims is still alarming the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 6,700 deaths this year alone from malignant melanoma. Those are 6,700 people who very well could have been cured 100 percent cured, perhaps had they detected some of the warning signals sooner. Dont make the same mistake. Be alert, and see your doctor if you suspect that something may be wrong. The right knowledge and early detection are your best defense. change in they moved to Manti they first lives on 2nd East and 4th North then when Ed was nine years old, they moved to 4th West and 3rd South.

At one time he was sharpening his razor to shave Cal Mickelson, the oldest man in Manti. He remarked to Cal that when Cal died he would then be the oldest man in town. Cal said, Just cut my hair today and forget about the shave. He worked from sun up to sun down some days and only a few hours on other days. Eds hands are still steady as he cuts hair for a friend occasionally. Ed began his barbering with his brother John. They had a shop on Main Street in Manti with a bathtub and a shoe shining stand where they charged 5c for a shine. A neck shave and hair cut was 25 cents. Ed learned the barbering trade from his brother. When Ed was married to his wife, the former Ruby Poulsen for 57 years prior to her death in 1980.

A POLICY STATEMENT BY THIS NEWSPAPER - One of the toughest decisions we have to make is when to charge for publicity for various functions. We recognize that our newspaper is the main source of information about upcoming events. We also recognize that we have a public service responsibility to keep our readers informed. We also know that the only way we can continue to serve the public is to stay in business. And to stay in business we must make a profit somewhere. The only thing we have to sell is advertising. If we give that away free we obviously cannot make a profit, and thus cannot stay in business and provide the free services that we do. and thus cannot afford to advertise. The Some organizations contend that they are fact of the matter is that they cannot afford nsi to advertise. ADVERTISING DOES NOT COST, IT PAYS! Our entire economy is based on the concept that advertising does indeed pay dividends. If you, or your organization, are sponsoring an event for which money is charged, you can substantially improve the success of that event by advertising. The extra partJcipation which the advertising creates will usually far exceed the cost of the advertising. Therefore, we cannot continue to give free publicity to events that charge money, at least we cannot stay in business and provide that service free. non-prof- it, 51 Our policy Is: YOU CHARGE - WE CHARGE. If it costs money to participate in your event, we will charge you for the publicity. We do hope to continue to maintain a viable business In this community, but can only do so by charging for our reasonable services. MANTI MESSENGER - EPHRAIM ENTERPRISE 5SW ThankYou!
