Now, in 1981, this already
fabulous tour is more exciting
than ever—thanks to the addi-

Summer’s fun is infectious. For adults and children alike, that
familiar warm-weather fever begins to catch on as Memorial Day
approaches, and doesn’t burn out until sometime after Labor Day
weekend.
The magic of summer affects us all. Longer days mean lateshour
softball games and extra time to putter around in the garden. They
mean peaceful walks in the park and lingering hours on the front
porch or patio.
On the other hand
Fun-filled, magical hours are
not all that summer brings,
Too much sur wind and air
conditioning can cause a variety
of summer skin disorders.
Washing with harsh soaps is
also a contributing factor, as
many well-known brands are
not as gentle to skin as you
might think, skin experts note.
In a recent study conducted
sity of Pennsylvania, 18 diffe-
rent soaps were tested for mild-
ness, and Purpose soap proved
milder than Alpha Keri, Neut-
rogena, Ivory, Jergens, Lub-
riderm, Basis, Camay and many
others.
For people with sensitive skin
problems, dermatologists fre-
skin retain its natural moisture
with regular use. Doctors rec-
ommend it for overall body
needs, to keep skin smooth and
supple.
Hair needs extra protection,
too, during the summer months.
A shampoo such as Purpose is
mild enough for daily use. It
helps hair maintain shine and
manageability.
It is also effective for scalp
disorders; to help prevent dry-
ness, scaling and cracking, fre-
quently associated with daily
shampooing in summer.
quently recommend specially
formulated Purpose soap. It is
gentle enough for daily use,
leaves no residue, and is long-
lasting, an economy plus in
these inflationary times.
A companion product is rich,
concentrated Purpose Dry Skin
Cream, which helps sensitive

Nonetheless, the true sum-
mer-lover’s spirit remains un-
daunted in the face of such
minor inconveniences. After
all, a good catch of fish is cer-
tainly worth a few mosquito
bites!
Never too old
It’s hard to say whose eyes
ght up more brightly at the
hought of summer fun—little
people’s or big people’s?
Children are full of mischiev-
ous glee at the thought of leav-
ing textbooks behind. Adults,
however, are no less happy to
get away from the nine-to-five
routine for a few weeks vaca-
tion.
The choices for summer fun
are endless. Sandy beaches
beckon sun worshippers, camp-
sites fill with hardy vacationers,
and tennis courts come to life
with lobs and aces.
It's a season to be spent out-
doors in the warmth of the sun,
surrounded by the wealth of
summer greenery.
Getting in the swim
- While everyone has his or her
own way of plunging into sum-
mertime activities, perhaps tops
on the list for most people are
water sports.
An invigorating dip in a chilly
lake or ocean, a few laps in the
pool, a whoosh in the wind via
sailboat or surfboard, a quiet
day’s fishing . . . all in a day’s
fun under an azure sky.
Golfers take to the greens
with a passion that confounds
those unfamiliar with the sport.
Barely-clad runners take part in
road races and twilight jogs.

Then, connect the negative

Fashion favorites
Full-skirted culottes and short
pants are a favorite this year,
topped with one-of-a-kind cot-

jackets and the ubiquitous
T-shirt. ;
For men, the standard khaki
or seersucker suit is a favorite
during business hours, while at
night, a full scope of colors and
fabrics set off a healthy summer

About the house
Besides the increase in activ-
ity out-of-doors, summer brings
changes into the home as well.
In many parts of the country, it’s
a struggle to keep:cool—fans
and air conditioners work full-
time, shades are drawn during
the day.
Beat-the-heat eating
of the kitchen—barbecues—
take many families outside for
char-broiled steaks, chicken and
burgers. And, when cooking is
done indoors, it is usually in the
form of fresh vegetable salads
and quick-fry dinners.
Vegetable gardens are a favo-
rite pastime of homeowners and
apartment dwellers alike. To-
matoes and string beans flourish
