Spring-time is new bair-do-
time with milady, and with Easter
just around the corner, she will
want a new hair-do to wear under
her pretty Easter bonnet of flow-
ers. If its a poodle cut, pony tail
or one of the Victor Vito, interna-
tionally famous hair stylist new
Twenty-Fourth Century hair-dos
and the creation is becoming, mi-
lady will likely be wearing one in
the Easter Parade.
Lovely Patrice Munsel, Metro-
politan star, presented Monday
night on Ft. Worth Civic Music
Association, was wearing her dark
hair in a pohy tail and there were
“aha" heard when she appeared
on the stage, ”how beautiful, and
is that a pony tail, hair-do she’s
wearing?” were common expres-
sions heard over the auditorium
filled to capacity.
Victor Yito says “show m^s
woman’s hairdo, and I will tell you
the age she lived in, the spirit and
tempo of her time.”. The history of
the world has been written on the
heads of women.
Take the currently favorite
poodle cut, a symbol of modern
“wptnan'—emaniciphted from her
kitchen drudgeries, perpetually
youthful, active in her community
affairs or in her business career.
Now, take the exquisite pompa-
dours of the French court of the
19th century. They were symbols

gant living.

peat month VhjSr* she
styles? Find the key to the polit-
ical, economic and social struc-
ture of the coming age and you
can come within a hair-breadth
of predicting the coiffure that mi-
lady of years ahead will fashion.
She’s going to be living in a re-
markable age where speed is
calculated in supersonic terms,
where a rocket ship awaits her
pleasure at her: front doOr, and
where her clothes and hairdos arc
influenced not by Paris aqd' the
Continent but by interplanetary
explorations.
It’s not so far off; scientists pre-
dict the first flights into space
within our ; life span, and the
science-fiction artists are already
beyond the first flights. On ABC’s
popular ’’Tom Corbett, Space Ca-
det” radio and television show, for
instance, a trip to the Moon (a very
dreary place, the program points
out) is a m*re weekend gambol. -
Being a rabid science - flatten
fen end watching the spec* cadets
rocketing about the skiee gave'the
artist some out-of-this world ideas
about hairdos. They’ll be some
magnificent creations; graceful,
sweeping symbols of interplane-
tary life, molded into exotic shape*
in colors blending from blonde to
red to brunette.
Fantastic? Maybe now. But
after all, when you’re riding in
rocketa, you don’t wear a Poodle
Cut.

So much is being published in
our papers and magazines lately
concerning marihuana, a plant or
weed that is being sold to teen-
agers and college students in our
schools and universities. It is
grown mostly in Mexico and is
smuggled into our state, peddled
and cold for an enormous price.
Marihuana used iq the form of
cigarettes, one becomes an addict
and in some instances it paralises
the nerves and is highly intoxi-
cating.
Mrs. Carrie J. Crouch’s article,
“Marihuana Madness,” published
in the Federation Newa several
years ago, lists eight stages of
intoxication from the use of this(
weed or plant: a lightness of feel-
ing; intellectual excitation and ex-
aggeration of emotions; illusion m
to time and space; auditory nerve*
affected; fixed ideas, often by
suggestions; mind becomes over-
balanced by disturbances; irra-
tional acts often follow; halluci-
nations, blindness and insanity.
In this month's issue of Reader’s
Digest i* a article, “My Son Is a
Drug Addict.” It’s a mother’s story
Mr., Mrs. Bullock
Announce Birth
Of Son Sunday
Mr. end Mrs. Bill Bullock of
Ranger are announcing the birth
of e fine son on, March 27, who
will answer to the name of An-
drew Loyd.
Maternal grandmother la Mrs.
Sims of Ft. Worth, and paternal
grandparents are Mr. and Mrs.
Andy Bullock, Graham. Mr. and
Mrs. Bullock spent Tuesday in
Ranger visiting the son and fam-
ily-
of her son. condensed from the
Saturday Evening Post that is
very touching end the mother re-
lates the story hoping it might
help some other parent. Last week
this article was read by Mra. R. L.
Askew at the Bunger Home Dem-
onstration Club and has been used
as a tonic of other cluba.
The story is of a mother’s son
who became a drug addict and waa
finally admitted td the Govern-
ment hospital in Fort Worth for j
treatment, hut it was too late and r
the mother was advised later to
forget that she had a son.
Mexicans, Negroes and Chinese
are all great osere of marihuana.
In the United States and Mexico
the marihuana plant is used in
the form of cigarettes and the
words reefer, muggles, mug and
hay are slang words used to des-
ignate them. One may not know
the meaning of th* slang words
or their coinage but ask for them
in 'the right piece and you will
be handed a cigarette.
