The Hair Original Beauty
Beautique on North Graham
St. was a bee-hive of activity
at 8:30 a.m. on a recent
Monday morning as owner
operator, Mrs. Eloise Furger
son and two assistants worked
with five customers. The two
things unusual about the scene
were that the shop isn't usual
ly open on Monday morning,
and the five young ladies
getting their hair styled were
all members of the touring
Ebony Fashion Fair Show.
For the past four years the
Fashion Fair models have
made Mrs. Furgerson their
personal hairdresser when
ever the show is presented in
Charlotte.
That morning the young
ladies receiving her special
treatment were Betty Kirby of
ChkMgo; Dartene Jackson of,
Gary, Indiana; Eartha Ste
wart of Tampa, Florida and
Fay Shepard from Knoxville,
Tennessee; all models with
the show, and Gail Taylor, a
wardrobe assistant from Or
lando, Florida.

the group chatted or read
magazines the way ladies do
while they undergo the rigors
of becoming more beautiful.
Monday is their one day off
while on tour and getting hair
done, doing personal laundry,
shopping and relaxing is the
order of the day.
Fay Shepard, a tall, willowy
(5Ί0", 130 lbs.) beauty des
cribes the life of a Fashion
Fair model as "hectic, but
fun." The 24 year old elemen
tary school teacher received
her B.S. from Knoxville Col
lege and M A. from Ohio State
University.
"I've always wanted to be a
teacher," she said, "but after
I finished school I decided I'd
never done anything really
exciting so I auditioned for
Fashion Fair. I missed the
finals because I was sick but
later someone dropped out
and I was called to join the
group I've been with them
about six weeks and it's been a
tremendous experience."
Fashion Fair models usual
ly tour with the show for about
a year before going on to other
things. Two are fashion desig
I
ners who say they are gaining
invaluable experience and
making priceless contacts
through the tour. They plan to
have a showing of their origi
nal designs next year after
leaving the tour.
For the benefit of young
ladies in the Charlotte area
who may be interested in
becoming a Fashion Fair mo
del, Fay pointed out that it
isn't necessary to be a profes
sional to be chosen for the
tour. She had attended model
ing classes briefly but dropped
them after only a few lessons.
"What is important," she
said, "is confidence and the
ability to project yourself.
"Also," she added, "they
should start to assemble a
good portfolio of photographs
of themselves taken by a
professional, as soon as possi
ble."

"highly important to'apply a
facial mask a couple of times
a week since the heavy make
up required for the stage can

complexion." She wears little
make-up off-stage.
According to Fay, the Fash
ion Fair family is a close-knit
group and she says everyone
is kind and supportive of
new-comers. She admitted to
being a little apprehensive
about her welcome but says
she was very warmly received
by everyone, especially her
room-mate, Toni Galloway of
Detroit.
If all goes well, Fay plans to
stay with the tour for about a
year and then earn a Ph.D., do
a little modeling on the side,
and eventually marry and
have a family. She is engaged
to a gentleman from Ohio who
"wasn't too pleased" about
her joining the tour but who
now has accepted it as some
thing "important to her grow
th."
Contrary to popular belief,
Fay said she doesn't do a lot of
partying while visiting the
various cities. "We're free
each evening after the show
but usually we lounge around
and watch TV. The greatest
thing about this experience is
getting to see the country,"
she said, and added she "can
hardly wait to get to the West
Coast."

Patricia Harris Warns
President Cartèr's Energy Legislation Could Re DptHrn^ntnl
r <iu ii_ia nooeris narns lasi
week told a conference of
black mayors that loss or
weakening of President Car
ter's energy legislation could
have a detrimental impact on
housing and urban develop
ment programs, particularly
for low-income families.
In an address to the Na
tional Conference of Black
Mayors in Washington, D C.,
the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development called for
adoption of the program to
avert a possible repetition of
last winter's spiraling utility
costs.
She also warned of the long
range impact if the program is
lost.
"You run American cities,"
ehe told the mayors, "and you
know the devastating impact
of increased utility costs, par
ticularly on your elderly and
tow-income citizens. I know
about that impact because we
had to go to the Congress this
yéar and request additional
operating funds to keep our
subeidize<^rruiltifamil^_£r(^
jecis irom going under I have
no doubt that if we lose this
energy program, we will have
to go to the Congress for more
money next year."
The Secretary said that
there would be long-range
effects
"We have a number of
excellent energy conservation
measures in the President's
legislative package," she
said. "Those range from tax
credits for the installation of
solar heating and cooling
equipment, to direct grants
for low income families to
finance such things as insula
tion and storm windows. We
will lose all these programs
for at least a year if the
legislation fails."
She pointed out that massive
increases in oil costs will
mean increased costs not only
in space heating and cooling,
but in the cost of petroleum
based products. "The infla
tionary impact of increased
costs throughout the economy
would be substantial," she
said^JjuU^wouldJii^garticil·
larh hard at building mater
ials."
Secretary Harris also warn
ed that the ripple effect of
increased fuel costs would
have an inevitable impact on
the cost of such basic building
materials as lumber "Lum
ber costs have already soared
more than 50 percent in the
last two years." she said.
"Home builders can't stand
more of that."
The Secretary pointed out
that there are approximately
76 million residential units
alone in the United States and
that roughly 20 percent of U.S.
energy is used to heat and cool
buildings in this Natiflh.
"There are a number of
incentives in the President's
legislation to improve energy
efficiency in new buildings,
and to bring older structures
up to higher standards," she
said. "All this would be lost if
the President s program is
lost."
The Secretary called atten
tion to specific legislation that
would be lost if the bill is not
passed: >
■A residential conservation
tax credit for specified energy
conservation measures The
House version calls for a 20
percent credit for the first
$2,000 for a total of $400
-Tax credits for installing
solar heating and cooling
equipment, as well as wind
equipment The House version
calls for 30 percent of the first
$1,500, and 25 percent of the
next $8,500 for a total of $2,150.
-Direct grants to low income
homeowners to finance such
weatherizing aids as storm
doors and windows and insula
tion. There would be $585
million in this program, and
the Department of Agricul
ture would also have a wea
therization fund for rural
homes.
-A program requiring utilities
to offer information on insula
tion, arrange loans repayable
through utility bills and offer
to make the arrangements for
installation 6f insulation ma
terials.
•A 10 percent tax credit to
businesses for investments in
approved conservation mea
sures
-A grant program, totaling
S900 million over three years,
to assist public and non-profit
institutions such as schools
and hospitals in conservation.
Above all, she said, an in
creasingly heavy burden uuu
Id fall on elderly and low
income inner-city families,
where there are already too
many problems
"In an economy where high
housing costs are already a
matter of serious national con
cern. and increased utility
costs for low-income families
are going to fall on your
shoulders and the Federal
Government, the impact of
losing this legislation could be
devastating." she said.
