DISGUSTING VANDALISM
PERPETRATED IN TYRRELL

COLUMBIA.-Some undetermin-
ed person here has recently shown
tendencies towards mental illness,
by some incidences which have hap
pened here.
A few weeks ago, a highly re-
spected family was embarrassed by
the finding at their front entrance
paper sack containing solid hu-
man excretion, with the top of the
sack afre. A knock at the door
summoned the resident therein to
the. scene, to find no one there.
A similar incident minus the fire,
more recently happened to another
such family. Scattered footsteps
heard at the first indicated there
may be more than one perpetra-
tor, or more than one who needs
psychiatric treatment. Each time
it happened at nighttime rang
ing from $50 to 10 o'clock.
The authorities warn residents
to be on guard, and to report any
such an act, and if possible to keep
what portions they can of the top
of the sack for fingerprinting, stat
ing that insane tendencies which
need treatment are shown in an
act of this kind.

CLAUDE:
"YOuF hair
must be clean,
clean, clean"

I've FOUND that very few women see themselves
as they are or can visualize themselves they
would like to be- The coiffeur, to the contrary is
trained to perceive an overall picture of woman
and she should place her trust in him to know how
she will look best.
The trend today is for a coiffure to be close to
the head but soft 1t respects the shape of the head
rather than deforming it, If new style is becoming
to woman, she should try it. But she should never
wear a style just because it is in fashion. Some
women look best in long hair Some in short. Some
women can't wear funny" hairdos.
The same with color. Don't wear color because
it is popular Your natural hair color probably suits
you best and it is usually best to stay more or less
with it, The trend in cooring is going more to the
honey colors, softer and more natural looking.
Your hair must be clean, clean, clean. Wash
it as often as necessary it doesn't hurt it. Wash
your brush every day or SO and keep it covered.
don't go in for spectacular coifures. like
conservative, more ladylike hair that never looks
unnatural or contrived.

likes. Now that the bugaboo about coloring is dis
appearing and such marvellous color products are
available, there's no reason why woman shouldn't
try new shade.
The most important thing have to say to
women who are concerned about their hair is
"Relax." A hairdo is very brief thing. And it's
not that serious. If hair style doesn't turn out
exactly right, let the hairdresser try again.
Have an open mind when you go to the hair
dresser. Don't be afraid of change Or, if you are,
don't change - it will only make you uncomfort-
able, something you shouldn't be in hairdo.
