In addition to the funds from the Sesquicentennial, the borough allocated $2700 for immediate use, and the Dallas Junior Women's Club raised $300 for the purchase of basketball and volleyball equip- ment. The borough's allocation being for immediate use was lost to the group since it was not used before the end of the fiscal year. The following year, part of that amount was regained because Council set aside $5,000 for the park in 1969. Another boon to the planners was that matching funds would be available from the state from a $500 million conservation and recreation program if certain application procedures were fol- lowed. The approval of this grant and the preparation of plans and speci- fications took more time and it was another year before plans were made to flood the proposed tennis courts to provide ice-skating facili- ties for Back Mountain residents. Despite careful planning and continued efforts of the park group to get the recreation park in opera- tion, it was not until 1971 that the Dallas Borough Park was open to residents of the community. Four teenagers had been added to as- sist the committee as an advisory group, representing their age group. These were Arline Kozich, Shirley Reese, Blake Saba and Peter Shiner. They were to recommend new programs and to evaluate programs that were in progress at the time. Once the playground was open, Ann Gallagher was the supervisor of the park from 1971 to 1972. Chuck Wilson was supervisor in 1977 and prior to him Shirley Brown Breymeier was supervisor but for how many years was un- known. In 1978, the late council- man Kenneth Young contacted Jay Pope, Dallas school faculty mem- ber and asked him to take the position. Pope continued in the position until 1988 when Jack Wolensky served as supervisor for that summer. In 1989, Pope took over as supervisor for the year as a favor to Wolensky, who is now in charge of the park this summer. * Round-trip from [JOE DEPARTURES ONE WE ron’ Tavar Jaditara- i Includes: © Round-trip'air from ¢ Hotel & hotel tax e Car rental—1 week e Birnbaum Book e Tote bag *Restrictions apply.

I am afraid that she is asking for trouble. Can exposure to too much sun cause cancer? The sun acts cumulatively in damaging our skin. It is not just today's sun that is harmful: The damage may ~ start with overexposure to the sun in our childhood, and continue to accumulate. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, but if detected and treated early, it is the easiest to cure. The skin, the body's largest organ, is constantly subjected to external abuse by infections and by irritations from clothing, the weather and chemicals in the air. Inter- nally, the products of our normal bodily functions also affect our skin, The worst external enemy of the skin is the sun. And asour leisure time increases, we are spending more time in the sun. This summer there are ways you can prevent the sun from damaging or "poisoning" your skin: » Use common sense and avoid overexposure to the sun. Wear a sun-screening lotion or cream, and if you have very fair skin, wear a broad-brimmed hat and long- sleeved shirt. * Stay out of the summer sun when its rays are the most intense at midday. Because people are living longer and spending “more time pursuing outdoor activities, physicians ex- pect to see a greater incidence of skin cancer in the future. The two most common forms of skin cancer are "This health awareness is brought to you as a service to the Back Mountain community by Robert Greenhalgh, M.D..

These cancers usually appear on exposed parts of the body; the arms, neck, face and the back of hands. Basal cell and squamous cell cancers are character- ized by a pale, waxy, pearly nodule that ulcerates and crusts, or by small, red, scaly bumps or patches. They usually grow locally and don't spread to other parts of the body. A third and far more serious form of skin cancer is malignant melanoma, which, while still relatively uncommon, is increasing in incidence. This form of skin cancer is characterized by a rapidly growing black or brown mole-like growth that may become ulcerated and bleed casily if injured even slightly. The survivial rate for malignant melanoma is 70 percent, lower than the 99-percent rate of other forms of skin cancer be- cause it spreads so quickly. Older people often develop precancers call actinic keratosis, which may eventually become cancerous. Although they are non-malignant, these precancers they develop into squamous cell cancers. If you have any bump or growth on your skin that changes in size or color or bleeds persistently, you should have it examined by a doctor. Your doctor will continue to examine you regularly for other malignant bumps or growths, because anyone who has had one skin cancer is more susceptible to others. Detected early, skin cancers usually can be cured.
