Someone also stated that the Coop truck

Rome's BARRIERS Defy
Custom, Demand Hats
off During Haircuts

ROME, dec. 5 (CDN)!-A Wd-
jority of BARRIERS in this brave new
postwar Roman world are taking
determined stand against an old
Italian custom. They refuse to give
shave and haircut to customers
who keep on their hats.
1t Is a small thing. But most
Of the young ones claim their de-
mand for a bare head on which to
clip is a step toward democracy
now a good thing In italy.
Only q few older shops permit
elderly Italians Of long-standing
patronage to continue wearing their
Homburgs in the chair.
The "barbiere" at 81 Via Ravenna,
just off Piazza Bologna, is one OF
them. Many retired diplomats and
stiff f-necked counts live in this dis
trict. A percentage refuse to rec
ognize the new era. They say their
grandsires never removed their hats.
So why should they?
Getting a shave and haircut with
your hat on is q tricky business.
Signore Renato Leoni, once a
minister to Argentina and titled
gentleman in balmier days, demands
his barbering done while he wears
an overcoat, holds a heavy whipping
cane in his right hand and con-
tinues to wear his hat.
Luigi Orsono, elderly barber with
soft memory for the old days, has
been doing this job for years. He Is
shave-first, haircut-second barber,
rarity these days.
To service Signore Leoni, he
shortens the head rest so as not to
interfere with the patrons hat. It
is made into a neck rest, he ex-
plains, 50 the head lops completely
over the back. Luigi says his only
fear is in dampening the brim OF
the hat.
"Once," he says, 81 got water on
the signore's hat. He was furious.
But that was during the NaA occu-
patton and he forgave me. My
nerves are better now"
The towels are applied across the
face and swung around to the back
Of the neck. Shaving Is easy. Face
lotion is applied gently with the
finger tips. The hat brim is the
thing to watch during the drying
process.
The haircut is the trying thing.
First, the sideburns are pared
sharply. The long locks at the
back of the neck are trimmed. The
hair on the neck is shaved. The
foliage from the ears and nose is
gone over. Then comes the moment
for real action. 1t is at this point
that BARRIERS must be fast.
Signore Leoni raises his hat from
his head. 1t is a ritual much like
the unveiling of statue. Luigi,
half in a crouch. stands with scis-
sors waiting for the moment.
With shears flashing, he dives into
the top hair-or what there Is OF 1t.
Never does he look around or join
in the discussion Of football scores
until he is done.
In less than so strokes he Is An
ished. Two quick swishes with the
comb and it is over. He grabs the
signore's hat and plants it on. his
head. Then he breathes sigh OF
relief. The signore adjusts 1t to suit
his mood Then he looks in the
mirror and smiles at himself.
He gives Luigi q handsome So
lire (8-cent) tip and strides toward
the door. pushing things and people
out of his way with his cane.
Two other barber shops on Piazza
Bologna refuse to give shaves and
|haircuts unless customers hang their
hats on the hall tree. But then they
don't get 50-lire tips.
