you want to go to the barber and
get a quick shave, see, so you
step inside and settle down in a
shop that looks like any American
counterpart. You look at your
watch, American style, and he'll
guess you want him to be snappy
about it.
Now there's one thing about a
Norwegian barber: he takes his
time. He's got the "cutest" little
napkin to put around your neck.
After that he starts looking you
over in the face and the first thing
you know he is breathing into it.
Now Oslo's got plenty of fresh air
so you can stand that. But what's
this? He takes a pair of scissors,
see, and sticks it gently up your
nose. And, of course. you say
because who knows if there was
some misunderstanding? Hey I
just want a shave"-And you
point all over the place, up here,
around here, all about the face,
but still the guy doesn't seem to
savvy.
Then he says, Sorry, I don't
understand English" in Norweg-
ian.
You look at the darn thing
tucked up your nose until you're
pretty near cross-eyed and you
say, ugh, and he steadies your
head with powerful clasp of the
hand and then snap snap snap.
1t ticlles so much you start
laughing, and then he says, Now
you can blow your nose better"
Funny, you never thought of
that before.
But the guy is still nosy, see,
only this time he sticks the scissors
into your ear and just then an
other barber in the shop asks him
a question, and this guy with the
scissors stops to listen. It's the
longest question you've ever heard,
and all the while he's pointing the
scissors right smack into your ear.
Good thing it isn't loaded.
After these two BARRIERS have
talked about everything under the
sum the one with the scissors final
ly is back on the job and snaps
away at the hairs in your ears
And just as though he We're clear
ing out a dirty hole he blows and
puffs into it and scratches a finger
inside it until the last scrap of
hair is gone with his wind. Who
knows, maybe, you. can even hear
better after this?.
Now at first you don't like the
hot rags this barber puts around
your face after the first two
shavings. The first ones too cold,
the others barely lukewarm. You're
thinking, You're all wrong. Joe.
why back in the states e." Lo
and behold, he makes a third
shaving all for the price of one
and then he's got the hottest darn
rag you've ever felt and he rubs
and smears it into your face until
you think it will burn to pieces.
But he's got another surprise for
you. He's going to give you a face
massage. First he rubs two differ
ent kinds of lotions or oils into
your face and there's no end to the
rubbing. He's very smooth about
it. He works around the temples,
takes smooth dip below the nose.
then he works the rear part of
the thumbs backwards around the
cheekbones and then he presses
the palms of his hands downward
in slow rhythmic motions. This
goes on for about ten minutes.
After that he squirts some liquid

such a cold war because it could

He said that Mr.. Garfield was

Credit Mobilier Scandal of 1867.
The Republican candidate was
accused specifically of receiving

stock. The figure itself was in
