CLUB EVENT...The Les Pierrettes Social and
Civic Club of Charlotte is the name used by a
group of sophisticated ladies who are constantly
doing things for themselves as well as other
people. This obviously is part of the reason
they’ve been around so long.
This group of ladies contributed $500 to the
Martin Luther King Fund. They have spent
evenings at the Pineville Dinner Theatre, and
will be traveling to Virginia Beach in early
October.
However, in a more
recent venture the Les
Pierrettes entertained a
'■ group of friends in para
: mount fashion at Jimmy
McKee’s Excelsior
i Club, with dinner and
; games.
The guest list included
* Doretha Wallace, Iona
Jones, Bennie C. Lee,
Mattie Burke, Joreatha
Isler, Willie Mae McKis
sick, Henrietta T. Nor
ris, Marie McKinley and
Ella Asbury.

SUPER FUN...The Commodores - Emotions
show held at Charlotte’s Coliseum recently was
one of the best rock shows to appear here in a
long time. Both acts really gave the fans more
than their money’s worth.
After the show, Emotions’ Myra Polk, Vickie
Owens, and Cheryl Sullivan were able to relax
and unwind in the lap of a lot of warm southern
hospitality amid the merriment provided by the
lovely Pat Foriest.
Pat pulled out all the stops in her efforts to
insure that Myra, Vickie and Cheryl enjoyed
themselves, which they thoroughly did.
The party was given in the clubhouse of The
Difference Apartments, and was laced with all
kinds of good food, beverages and music. It
started around II :30 p.m. and continued well into
* the morning.

SPEARHEAD - HY TYES DANCE...Last
Saturday night there was a dance held in the
ballroom of The Sheraton Hotel that reeked of
pleasure and excitement.
Dressed in white from head to toe, The
Spearhead and their sister group the Hy Tyes
made sure that their guests’ enjoyment came in
bunches, like grapes.
The brother-sister type organization emerged
five years ago when redevelopment caused a
very tight community group to relocate. To keep
in touch they decided to form a social club using
the two names.
Under the direction of Spearhead President
Ernest Jones Jr., and treasurer Harold Jones
excellence was the order of the evening. Reality,
a musical aggregation out of Gastonia was hired
for the musical part of the evening, but club
members Virgie Anderson, Harold Jones, and
Ernest Jones Jr., also performed for their
patrons.
Among the patrons for this evening of pleasure
were Dinah Williams, Raymond and Paula
Pharr, Mamie Rogers, Wilmer Young, Ernest
and Nellie Jones, Alma Miller, Charles Clark,
Ida Hunter, Betty Boyd, Leola Black, William
Jones, Sarah Wilson, Diane Harrison, Gwen
Maxwell, Mary Harris, Richard Jones, Hattie

Linda Tillman, Sylvia Jones, Mr. and Mrs.

_Trichology Corner
Mr. Charles R.B.
QUESTION?
I would like to get a
perm or a relaxer, but
one of my friends said .
that a perm took her
hair out? Could that
happen?
ANSWER:
To a trained experienc
ed Trichologist-or Sty
list that sounds like say
ing, I’m afraid to get a
car because cars have
wrecks. I won’t eat food
because food poisoned
someone once. I won’t
get my hair pressed
because I heard some
one got burned. Cars
don't have wrecks, food
doesn’t poison people.
Pressing hair doesn’t
burn people. When work
is given with a perm, if
proper tests are taken
and if the customers
follow the stylist in
structions there will be
no problems. Some
times people try to care
for their hair them
selves, do things to their
hair because a friend
said they should, or
a_ t .
ments on time. When
the hair is damaged
before the perm, try to
do it themselves, have
other deseases or nerve
problems, pull it out, or
just won’t take care of
it. A perm is a good
system of hair care. No
one can say that custo
mers take care of it as
directed. 90 percent of
the problems have no
thing to do with the
perm.
