LONG AND SHORT Of IT:
The One With 'Shortie
Will Be The
, Boston—(HK)—The increasingly frequent problem of today
distinguishing between a boy and his girl friend—is likely to
vanish if the male hair-length trend continues. The one with the
shorter hair will be the girl. ____
Even if this view is too pes-
simistic, the question of wheth-
er the hair is to float on the ears
or flop over the eyes—in close-cut
military crop or Madison Avenue
©ff-to-the-side style—is a matter
©f grave importance to today’s
younger set.
Over the years, hair styles have
shifted drastically. During the days
©f Revolutionary America, our
ancestors adopted the European
fashion of wearing powdered wigs
-—a distinct boon to the hairless.
Those who couldn’t afford wigs
and had hair, wore it long and
lied in a little pigtail at the nape
©f the neck. In the 1800’s, a well-
groomed man might not have hair
on his head, but he had to have
some on his face. Whiskers, beards
and moustaches were virtually
Universal.
CREW CUTS PASSE
By the 1920’s the fashion cycle
had shifted again. Facial hair was
out; the “Old Smoothie” look was
in. It was typified by Latin lover
•Rudolph Valentino, whose sleek,
Straight, long hair set the example
for many red-blooded American
’males.. Pomades, waxes and hair-
slickers did a rousing business as
men’s hair competed with their
patent leather shoes for brilliance.
The next important trend was
the wavy locks of the late 1930’s.
But, with the start of World War
II, off they came — for over
fourteen million newly sworn in
servicemen. For the next 20 years
the crewcut was the sure identifi-
cation of an American any place
in the world. Today it’s the deadest
©f styles. Said, one college oars-
man, “Not even members of crews
%ear crewcuts any more!”
BEATLES' INFLUENCE
There’s no question that the
Beatles and other singing groups
liave had a potent effect on male
atyles as well as on phonograph
record purchasers. Of course, few
U. S. men have gone anywhere
pear as far as the Beatles, but they
are wearing their hair longer than
they used to. All this has meant a
boom in men’s shampoo and hair
dressing sales.
But, according to a recent sur-
vey by Gillette, leading maker of
men’s grooming products, men
nowadays don’t want this invest-
ment to show. They apparently
prefer a hair grooming that combs
right in so you can’t tell it’s there.
Longer hair particularly needs the
all-day control only a hair dressing
can give. These Heads Up qualities
were incorporated into a new hair
grooming product available in li-
quid and cream.
CURRENT HAIR BOOM
Result of the current hair boom:
his medicine chest is apt to be as
crammed full of grooming neces-
sities as hers. Who knows where
it will all end? Perhaps men will
start wearing Revolutionary-style
pigtails again. But one thing we
can be sure of: as teenagers’ hair
gets longer, parental tempers will
get shorter. Meanwhile, the neg-
lected barbers philosophically wait
for the style pendulum to swing
back again.

TO RELIEVE STRAIN:
New Floor Atop
Old One Speeds
Hospital Remodel
Lancaster, Pa.—(HK)—W i t h
Medicare putting a larger-than-
ever strain on hospital services,
many hospitals throughout the
country are planning to remodel
and expand their facilities.
In the process, their administra-
tors face the need to carry out re-
modeling projects with a minimum
of disturbance in patient care and
service areas.
NEW TECHNIQUE
A solution for one such problem,
the replacement of worn-out floors,
has been announced by Armstrong
Cork Company. It is a new tech-
nique for installing resilient floor-
ing, called Perimiflor.
Previous installation usually re-
quired tearing out the old floor.
Then adhesive for the new floor
covering was spread over the en-
tire area. Perimiflor permits the
installation of new sheet vinyl
flooring right on top of the exist-
ing floor. A new kind of adhesive
is spread only at the perimeter
and at the seam lines. The length
of time the area must be kept out
of service is sharply reduced, and
the job is done in' relative quiet,
with a minimum of inconvenience
and disruption.
EASY TO CLEAN
Also, Armstrong points out, the
seam-bonding process makes the
floor “virtually impervious to ac-
cumulation or penetration by dust,
water, spilled chemicals, radioac-
tive contaminants, and other haz-
ardous matter.” And the sheet
material can be “coved” up the
wall to provide a smooth, un-
broken surface that is easy to
clean and decontaminate.
VIEW FROM A HELICOPTER
DRILLING A WILDCAT WELL: Winter’s crushing ice packs
are gone from rugged Cook Inlet in Alaska and the drilling
ship Wodeco V is now probing for oil beneath the inlet floor.
Working against time—the inlet normally freezes by October
•—her crew is drilling a wildcat well for Marathon Oil Com*
pany and an associate. One of the most promising new oil
areas in the United States lies below the waters of Cook inlet.
The significant Trading Bay well and MacArthur River field
were discovered under the floor of the inlet last year by Mara*
thon and its associate.
Mrs. Handyman VS Mr.
New York—(HK)—For the
Woman' who has everything—in-
cluding a husband who is remiss
at playing Mr. Fix-It around the
house—there is • a new book de-
signed to do away with nagging.
“Practical Home Repair for
Women” by Bruce Cassiday (Tap-
linger Publishing Co., $4.95), the
first complete handbook on home
repairs written for women, should
be welcomed by both wives and
husbands.
Cassiday reassures women:
"Home repair is not the mysterious
province of the man. You can
easily make it yours. It only takes
a knowledge of tools and materials
—and practice.”
“Practical Home .Repair for
Women” answers commonly asked
questions, lists basic hand tools
and tells how to use them, dis-
cusses paints for interiors and ex-
terior? from galvanized steel to
cloth awnings, the techniques of
painting and paneling, simple
plumbing, heating and electrical
repairs, floor, door and window
problems, and even egts into areas
like building and masonry.
Here are a few of his helpful
suggestions:
Protect your hands when clean*
ing a paint brush by pouring sol-
vent or cleaning fluid into a plastic
bag. Shove the brush into the sol-
vent, and work the paint out,
manipulating the bristles through
the plastic. You can watch your
progress through the transparent
plastic, and you need not wet
your hands at all.
A steel door is immune to rot-
ting, swelling, warping and sag-
ging, regardless of climate changes
or age and wear. Such a door can
be bought and installed. You
get a perfect fit every time because
of the accurate assembly. The
author gives installation directions
in six easy steps.
Always use a screwdriver with
a blade approximately as wide as
the screw slot or you may chew
up the slot.
A relatively new product on the
market is steel tile, which comes
with a permanent color and sur-
face. These tiles are produced in
standard sizes, and can be used
for walls or floors. Steel, tiles for
the floor are laid over a flat sur-
face. Mastic is .provided by the
manufacturers: the tiles are laid
over the mastic.
More and more the woman must
become her own handyman, that
fast disappearing species of worker
who is- practically impossible to
find at any price. According to
Cassiday, any woman can learn
and, what’s more, do aa adequate
job.

YOUR
SAVINGS
BOND
QUIZ
'Question: I have been buying
Savings Bonds naming my 11-
year-old son as co-owner with a
view of creating an educational
fund for him. In the event of
my death, would my wife or
(my son have control of these
bonds until such time as he is
ready for college?
Answer: Under the circum-
stances outlined, the bonds
would become the sole property
of your son, and he would ex-
ercise control of them. Regula-
tions permit a minor to cash a
bond provided he is of suffi-
cient competency to sign the
request for payment and under-
stand the nature of the transac-
tion.

Cut Car Lights
To Save Deer
Says Engineer
San Antonio. — A panoramic
view of nature from a locomo-
tive cab reflects reactions that
may guide ordinary persons in
their conservation opportunities.
This was indicated in a let-
ter to the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department by a South-
ern Pacific Railroad engineer.
The man, Richard Weynand,
suggested that highway hazards
created by deer might be re-
duced by motorists’ lowering
their car lights or dropping
them to dim.
tHe wrote:
“A word of safety to motor-
ists: If a deer on or near a
highway seems to be blinded
by the headlights, if possible
dim them or put them on park.
We never hit a deer when the
headlights of a locomotive are
extinguished. They scat.”
In reporting the toll to wild-
life, Feynarid estimated 125 to
175 deer are killed annually on
the San Antonio to Del Rio run
which he makes. He noted the
casualties include turkey and
quail When they are small but
seldom if ever a dove.
The observing engineer said
javellna frequently are killed
by trains. “When the mother
or mate is killed,” he wrote,
“the young or the other mate
return to lie by it and are also
killed.”
Weynand said the predators
coyotes and foxes—“are out in
numbers” and rattlesnakes are
big, surly and even stand their
ground and strike the iron
horse.
“. . . the rascals grow big
out here and are very aggres-
sive,” the engineer wrote. “It
is rumored one is holding out
around a side track between
Uvalde and Cline named Obi.
He is wearing a brakeman’s
cap since scaring him out from
under it while he was lining
the switch for his train to head
in there.”
There are an estimated 24
million former 4-H’ers in ' the
U. S.
