A feature writer for the local. wellâ€"known newspaper comes to their household to interview the inventor only To co-ordinate her busy schedule, Mrs. Truby-Tait has engaged the services of secretary and friend, Miss Feathergill, who somehow manages to get in the middle of every domestic squabble. The play opened with daughter Angela being prompted to improve her singing voice by younger sister Nellie. Their mother, Mrs. Truby-Tait, has no time for such nonsense, too busy herself with lots of unusual and unsuccessful inventions. This recipe was used for “Daughters of Invention”, a play in one act put on by a group of amateur talent in the Laskay WI Hall Resrult 7â€" a sellout per- formance! Throw in a dash of prompting.

The walk, sponsored by the Aurora Lions Club, was in aid of crippled children. It was a bitterly cold wind, and many of the children just weren‘t prepared for such a cold walk, but to those who finished the walk (13 miles) you certainly deserve credit.

A thank you to all who took the trouble to bring their donations to us. The children in the Tjeerd DeJong family of Elmgrove Avenue are having a bout of chickenpox at present. Women have no such qualms and are, more and more. having their locks attended to in those establishments which have been (in the past) all~male. I went to Ivan’s last week for a long overdue reshaping of my grey hairs, and after making an appointment, sat down in the chair at the appointed time. Who sits down right beside me but an attractive girl from my office. She has known me with my long, shaggy hair style which covers my un- sightly ears and forehead. Much to my dismay, she is still beside me when I am subjected to a shampoo and emerging afterwards with upswept wet hair, em- barrassingly showing my receding hair line. How mortifying! How gross! How can I ever face her again with any air of debonair sensuality, knowing that she And one of our last places of male seclusion is quickly disappearing with the in- troduction throughout the city of unisex hair stylists. ,Don't you dare refer to them as a barber! More than likely the term Tonsorial Engineer would suit their egoes more adequately. In spite of the longer hairdos us men are sporting today. we were cowards when it comes to going the whole route of a “wash and set” routine. Most of us will look in the window of a male-female shop and on sighting several women under hair dryers, will walk on by the shop in search of an exclusive men‘s hair stylist. Temperanceville News Taverns went unisex about the same time that the drinking age was lowered and as evident any night of the week at the Black Hawk Inn or the Richmond Inn, the fairer sex now guzzles the brew as good as us men. Although so far, nary a lady has offered to buy me a drink. By Norm Matthews Unisex clothing appears to be an acceptable fad, par- ticularly with regard to the styles sold in jean stores or stores catering to the younger set. No one seems to mind stepping behind those swinging, louvered doors on the change rooms, shucking down and squeezing into a pair of Lees or GWG jeans. regardless of sex. The way I carry on at a party you wouldn‘t think that unisex change rooms (without latches) would bother me. Telephone Norm ’s reflections Correspondent: Bowie, the barber at present Gillham 773. WI m Old Bowie knew our whole family and would ask me how my uncles and parents were doing. He‘d massage your scalp and back of the neck with an electric vibrator before the final combing. All this for under $1. Ah yes! A woman would never come into Bowie‘s shop unless she was bringing in her son to have his ears lowered. Otherwise, her presence would be totally unacceptable. What a far cry from my days as a youth in East York when I went to “Bowie the Barber” on Danforth Avenue near Barrington. He'd put a wooden board over the arms of the chair for me to sit on and rest his pot belly on the board while he snipped and snatched at my hair. All the time he would be cutting, he would be wheezing in and out from some obvious respiratory ailment. This was the place to go with your Dad on a Saturday morning. Bowie never washed your hair, but did shave around the ears and back of the neck with a straight razor. With a well worn brush he’d churn up a soapy lather of shaving cream and then spend a moment or two sharpening his razor on the leather belt dangling from the barber chair. While the stylist dried my hair with a blower and some shape started to take form. the girl from the office left her chair, walked past me, and said “I like your hair". I smiled sweetly and thanked her. now knows what‘s under lor_:_k_suâ€" {a balding head. ARBORITE HANDY 12” x 12" Tiles Johns-Manviile SaIin White tiles in cartons of 64 sq.
