CL, .el Mill CHAFF -JZZZHZ tty Joe Jones ______ Taylor Greene, veteran Chapel Hill barber, has seen many changes in barber shop customs hut none more pronounced than in the attitude of parents toward the treatment of small children in the barber chair. Cutting a recalcitrant youngster’s hair these days, he says, is more ol a problem than it once was. J'arcnls won’t stand lor force the way they used to A shop I worked in years ago, Mr Greene said, had a barber with an unusually lug strong hand. When a youngster wouldn’t stay still he damped i that lug hand over the top ol the j kid’s head and it might as well i have been in a vise. No matter ; how mueh yelling and squirming, lie calmly went on with the hair cut till it was finished. And I’ve ! seen more than one barber put I a tieadio. k on a troublesome ; youngster. Just damp his head j under one arm and keep cutting, j no mailer how much he hollered j and kicked.’ Mr. Greuie says these methods have gone out Most parents won’t stand for Dial kind ol stuff any more Some 1 limes tl Hi. youngster even so much as cries they take him out ol the dia l and say they It bring him back and try again lalei it can be a real problem it the proccVs is repealed and the little boy s hair keeps get ting longer and longer while they wail (or him to decide to sub- j mil Mr Greene added there are .still a lew parents who believe i in meeting lone with force !

He said one of the captive snakes is now twenty years old and the other is twenty-one. The record for rattlesnake longe vity, he added, is believed to be the twenty-one years and eight months attained by a spec imen that used to be in the Slate Museum in Raleigh.

Mr. Ben nett was close behind him with 4,010 votes. 1 Their majorities thus ruled out the possibility of a second primary to decide the party’s choices. They will face Republican candidates Louis W Sparrow and M J Walker in the November election. Third man in the four-way race was Hugh Wilson, who poll ed 3,408 votes—just short of the required 3,521 votes needed lor , a majority Phil Schinhan, the fourth man in the race, polled 2.602 votes. Mr Stanford and Mr. Bennett obviously found strong support throughout the county—bdth in the rural and urban precincts. But Mr. Schinhan got most of his support from the Chapel Hill voting and Mr Wilson was a heavy favorite in the small rural 1 precincts. Mr. Bennett carried Precincts One and Four in Chapel Hill plus the Carrboro Precinct and two rural precincts. Mr Stan ford carried Precincts Two, Three and Five, and Mr. Wilson received the highest precinct totals in all other precincts, with his heaviest support coming from the three Hillsboro pre .--•cmetx.
