Acne of the F<
Curse of Teen
3y WALTER C. ALVAREZ, M.D.
The curse of teen-agers is acne
'or pimples) mainly on the face,
jut often also on the back and
:ront of the chest. Skin specialists
tell us that, coming as it does
during the years in which a
youngster develops sexually, it
oust be influenced by the glands
if internal secretion. Actually, in
he cases of older persons, acne
can be produced by the giving of
certain glandular products. Inter-
estingly, in girls, acne usually
disappears at the age of 21 or 22.
There appears to be a hereditary
factor.
That the person with acne can
be strong and in general good
health can be seen from the fact
the fact that his acne can be
well-supplied with pimples. But
the afet that his acne can be
helped by giving him each day a
small dose of an antibiotic sug-
gests that bis tissues lack the
power to hold in check the germs
that normally grow in the skin.
One essential feature in acne is
the excessive activity of the oil
glands in the skin. This causes
the glands to fill with a greasy
subtanee. Then, if the mouth of
the little gland is a bit plugged
up by an overgrowth of the sup-
erficial layer of the skin, the
grease stays in; it distends the
gland, and a “blackhead” is form-
ed. When this gets infected, the
person has a pimple.
There are all degrees of acne,
from mild to severe. In some
cases, the face soon gets pitted
and scarred, and then the person
:s unhappy for the rest of his
life—unless with the “planing
process” or treatment with car-
bon dioxide slush ice, the skin
can be considerably smoothed.
This treatment can be attempted
only after the acute stage of (the
acne is over. ,
Because, in ordinary acne, the
“blackhead” comes first, it al-
ways has seemed to me logical
to get rid of the little column of
grease before it gets infected
When I was a lad, I had very
little trouble with acne because
in a drug store, I found a little
spoon, with a hole in it .called
a comedone extractor. I put the
hole over a blackhead, pressed
down and cut came the grease
column. Many skin specialists ad-
vise youngsters not to squeeze
the blackheads out but to come to
the office for that. The trouble
with this advice is that thousands
of youngsters with acne live in a

small community where there is
no skin specialist; other thousands
haven’t the money to go often t:
a doctor; and othdr thousands
haven’t the time after school tc
go and wait, for an hour or twe
i a ■ busy specialist’s reception
room.
For them, one of the best bits
of advice I have heard of is to
scrub the face with soap at least
three times a day. This will cut
down on the amount of greasi-
ness, and it will keep the mouths
of the little glands open so that
fewer blackheads will form. As I
said, when there is a strong ten-
dency to infection, and a skin
specialist is available, he may
give a small daily dose of an
antibiotic. A small dose of x-rays
will cut down on the greasiness
of the skin, so many persons are
afraid of x-rays that many skin
specialists have stopped using
them for any purpose.
Some physicians believe that
the tendency of iteen-agers to in-
dulge often in large malted
milks and many candy bars is
hard on their acne. Some believe
that chocolate is particularly bad.
The patient might do well on sev-
eral occasions to make a note of
unusual foods eaten before a flare-
up in the acne. Later,, by look-
ing at this list, he may see that
caused trouble.
Givis should know that the use
of much powder on the face
will help to plug up the mouths
of the oil glands, and thus to
make the acne worse. It is im-
portant to remove all make-up on
going to bed. Another important
point is that youngsters with acne
should keep social; they should
not become so painfully conscious
of their pimples that they retire
into “a shell.”
Many people write to me to
ask what can be done for what
looks like a chronic inflammation
of a side of one or more nails
op a hand or foot. The best thing
to do is to find a skin specialist
who will study scrapings under
his microscope to see if there
are molds present. Sometimes,
there, are bacteria, also. Accord-
ing to some skin specialists, the
disease usually can be cleared
up with the use of an antibiotic
called Griseofulvin. Unfortunate-
ly, the treatment, may have to be
kept up for from three to five
months if the infection is not tc
ccme back. Also, if the infection
is in some toe nails, the stockings
shou’d be boiled and hose should
be disinfected.
Do you know that colitis is?
Actually, it can mean any one
of three conditions. Dr. Alvarez
is informative on symptoms.and
treatments in his booklet, “Coli-
tis.” If you would like to have
it, send % cents and a stamped,
self-addressed envelope with your
request to Dr .Walter C. Alvarez,

County Agents Column
INSECT CHECKING
PLANS PUSHED
By JOHN WAKEFIELD
Williamson County Agent
WITH A 3 million
to cotton insects in 1961 fresh
on their minds, the County Crops
Committee discussed the hiring
of cotton insect checkers to work
in communities where farmers
are willing to pay for the service
in 1962.
John Vernon Stiles, crops com-
mittee chairman, appointed Mer-
vin Walker of Weir, Harry Han-
son of Hutto, Tom Atkinson of
Florence, Henry Pumphrey, Tay-
lor, Albert Freels of Thrall, Ker
mit Kriedel of Rice’s Crossing,
Ross Cole of Jonah, Roy Schroe-
der of Waterloo-Hoxie, and Jam-
es Cavanaugh of Granger to
survey their communities to see
how many farmers would be in-
terested.
The best guess as to the cost
to the farmer is about $1 per acre
for 10 weeks (early June to early
August) if as many as 1,500 acres
are signed up in a community.
The survey is to be completed
by Jan. 16 and will be discussed
at the 6-Step Cotton Meeting at
the SPJST Hall at Taylor.
The bankers contacted have
een very much in favor of
such a program. As was pointed
out at the meeting, unless fer-
tility of land is 'good and 1-3 of a
bale of cotton or more is expected
an insecticide program is not
profitable.
JOHN VERNON STILES, Andy
Prude iand Julius Wittliff present
ed information on the Blackland
Income Growth Program to the
25 agricultural leaders in attend-
ance at this meeting.
The three men named and
John Griffith are members of the
dollar- loss State Blackland Improvement
Growth Committee and have as-
sisted in drawing up the program.
The County Crops Committee vot-
ed unanimously to accept ithe re-
sponsibility of implementing this
program.
Jan. 23 at 10 am. at the Tem-
ple TPL demonstration room the
B.I.G. Program will be present-
ed to leaders from six nearby
Blackland counties.
Appearing on the program will
be R. E. Patterson, Dean of Ag-
riculture, Texas A&M College;
and Jack Barton, Coordinator of
Operation B.I.G. Dr. Patterson
says, ‘The basic objective of op-
eration B.I.G .is to increase the
net income of every family living
within the Blacklands.” He says
“Its success lies in the hands of
local leaders who must plan and
conduct an action program at
the county level.”
FARMERS & RANCHERS are ^
reminded that an Income Tax
and Social Security Clinic will be
held Thursday, Jan. 4, 1962 at
1:30 p.m. in the County Court-
room, and at 7 p.m.

Symbols of Christmas'
Theme of CGA Meeting
Symbols of Christmas were pre-
sented' as the high point in the
program at the annual Christ-
mas party , of Court Guardian An-
gel, Catholic Daughters of Ameri-
ca Monday evening.
Held in the main iauditorium of
Father Polansky Hall, the Rev.
Eugene Braden, court chaplain,

the supper.
Serving as hostesses were Mes-
dames F. W. Urbis, William
Schwenke, Melvin Eitzel, Otis Mil-
ler, E. G. Schneider, and Julius
Sorenson.
Mrs. Louis J. Kinel presided
at the short business meeting,
when tentative plans were dis-
cussed for a reception of new
members in the early spring.
Mrs. Herbert Sakewitz and Miss
Frances Holub presented the pro-
gram, firsib telling the origin of
some of the Christmas symbols.
Starting with the Chrislmias can-
dle, the light of the world, the
evergreens were included as the
symbol that winer will soon be
over and spring and growing
will be here. Chrismas trees were
originated in Germany and the
lighted tree is attributed to Mar-
tin Luther, and the first in Eng-
land as presented to Queen Vic-
toria by Albert.
The first Christmas cards were
hand painted, and today provide
a means of contacts between
friends, who have not corres-
ponded during the year.

chairs, a huge package was pass-
ed around, unwraping done as
the music stopped. The final
wrappings wrere removed by
Mrs. Miitcn Mokry, who was giv-
en the gift as a prize.
