Now that the sunbathing season is over, the Illinois Department of Public Health is concerned about the use of commercial suntan booths by those who want to main­ tain their summer tans. There are two reasons to be careful when sunbathing, either in the sun or a booth. Ultraviolet radiation can result in severe skin burns and eye damage. Over a period of time, it can cause skin cancer, the most common type of cancer. About 300,000 new cases are reported each year. Although most skin cancers do not develop until after the fourth decade of life, they have occurred in infants and children. • The second reason for concern is premature aging of the skin. A suntan is deceptive. It gives a glowing, healthy look while, at the same time, it prematurely ages and damages skin, resulting in a dry, leathery appearance. Ex­ cessive exposure also causes loss of support of the skin's connective tissues. Sunlamps have been classified in two categories: those emitting mostly ultraviolet A (UVA) radia­ tion and those emitting mostly ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation Hazards are associated with either type. The UVB sunlamps are the traditional sunlamps used in homes and in tanning booths. Commercial tanning booths resemble closets and with a UVB sunlamp, a person must generally be exposed long enough to cause some reddening of the skin before tanning occurs. UVB radiation is about 1,000 times more effective at producing severe injuries than UVA. Therefore, there is a likelihood that injuries such as burning of the cornea or severe reddening of the skin are more likely to occur. The UVA sunlamps are the m o r e r e c e n t l y m a r k e t e d Census survey will start in the area Nov. 1 and population characteristics. B e g i n n i n g N o v . l , l o c a l representatives of the U.S. Bureau of the Census will revisit selected households in the area to conduct the Survey of Income and Program Participation, according to Stanley D. Moore, director of the regional office in Chicago. The survey is being conducted in response to the need for better information on the economic well- being of the U.S. population. In­ formation collected will be used to determine how selected govern­ ment programs are working and to help policy-makers consider what changes need to be made. Interviewers will gather in­ formation on jobs, earnings, par­ ticipation in various programs Information supplied by people taking part in the survey will be kept confidential under provisions of Title 13 of the U.S. Code. The in­ formation will be used only to prepare .statistical summaries from which no individual or household can be identified. THE I \ T A V. ENTER!

They are rapidly replacing UVB types since they emit less than five percent UVB radiation. This makes it possible for most people to tan without burning by using controll­ ed multiple exposures of longer duration. Even though UVA lamps may not cause burning if properly used, this is not to say that tanning by UVA is safe--tanning by either method is not recommended. S o m e c o s m e t i c s , s o a p , deodorants and other consumer products also may contain photosensitizers. Before a person decides to use sunlamps, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted about any drugs or other substances being taken that might increase photosensitivity. Wearing protective goggles is of utmost importance in order to pre­ vent burning the cornea or retina of the eye. Civic leaders and health and social service professionals from across the state met recently in Chicago (Oct. 19) to develop community-based programs to address the problems of teenage sexualtiy, adolescent pregnancy and teenage parenting. The philosophy behind the first statewide leadership conference on these issues is that teefiage pregnancy can't be solved by the experts alone. The aim of the conference is to provide solid information on the severity of the problem, to demonstrate national and Illinois teen pregnancy and parenting program and to assist community leaders in developing action plans for their own communities. "Communities throughout Il­ linois are faced with a serious pro­ blem which won't go away until everyone acts," said Jenny Knauss, executive director, Il­ linois -Caucus on .Teenage Pregnancy. "The purpose of this conference is to spur community commitment to action." National and Illinois experts will discuss what has worked In their programs, then meet with church, corporate, educational and other civic leaders to develop community action plans. Teenage pregnancy confronts every part of the state, Knauss said. In 1982, nearly 47,000 girls between the ages of 10 and 19 pregnant, according to the Illinois Public Health Depart­ ment (IDPH). ^7 Additional IDPH statistic! demonstrate the severity of the problem: -A total of 25,566 infants were born to girls between the ages of 10 and 19 in Illinois in 1982. --One of every 10 girls betweeta the ages of 15 and 19 become! pregnant In Illinois every year.

It comes from mines in Montana and Wyoming. Twenty-two times a week. And the cargo it carries is coal. Low-sulfur coal. The fuel for close to half of the electricity northern Illinois runs on every day. " In case you don't think that's worth a whole lot, think about this. Using coal^ to make the other half would have cost an extra seven-hundred-million dollars last year. That's what we saved by using uranium instead. The fact is, it takes a mountain of coal- over one-hundred­ s' thousand tons-to equal the energy Sw' we get from just one tr\n r\f i irartii irrv MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE MCC CATALOG OUTLET STORE ton of uranium. If that's hard to picture, imagine a train 9 eleven miles long. Car after car after car after car. One thousand one hundred seventy cars in all, each filled to the top with coal: Versus ju£t one car, empty except for one small corner of uranium, In terms of savings, the difference is just as enormous We weren't exaggerating. Seven- hundred-million dollars last year alone. Or eighty dollars last year for a typical residential customer. It's not chicken feed. But it's not enough either. The more of those twenty-two trains a week we can hold up, the more you can save. Commonwealth Edison Doing things right.
