HAIR DO It would likely be interesting to the younger generation to know j .inst how the women a generation i or so ago wore their hair, and! | the changes that have come aibout! within thirty years or so. I The Apostle Paul in his letter j | to the church at Corinth had this j |to say: “If a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her.” He .would not say such a thing today jif he believed in the present meth od of treating the glory of a | woman. Some years ago we knew one of the finest women in this part of the state. Her hair was thick ai)d heavy and grew down much below her waist. She was known far and | near for the beauty of her hair and its extreme length. I cannot say but I have an idea she never did allow a barber or beauty spec ialist to mar her beauty by cutting her hair in the least. All women in the land wore long hair and prided themselves on its length and the beautiful manner in which she combed and put it up. All the older people will recall the vari ous ways they fixed it up. It has occurred to the writer that with the experts serving the women in this day and time they could make up a woman’s head of hair and really make her look good. The beauticians would have material to work on. Their busi ness would grow and develop rather than diminsh. Just here we may prpohecy that in due time the beauticians will be able to persuade all women to grow long hair and surpass the women of other years in their beauty, which 6240 REMEMBER THIS NUMBER Dialing it will promptly bring a serviceman to your home to check over or repair your electrical app liance.

Phone 6240 can be ‘one by developing this means of glorifying women by the aid of nature. Wonder how many people can recall the feeling of disappoint ment men had in seeing the first I women to have a man hair-cut. Not only men but nearly all worn-1 er. resented the action by some j of the young women. Many people offered uncomplimentary remarks j about any woman who would have | her hair cut off and try to look like a man. As a matter of fact the custom came about very slow ly. However, the argument spread throughout the land that if a woman would have her hair cut it would be no trouole to comb and care for it. That it would not cost anything to keep it in shape. Now time has changed all that. There is more and more work for beauticians as they can actually do all the work. Let us say again that long hair would give them I more work and they could Help the | looks of women more than with ; short hair. It would not put any body out of business. | Looks like this latter day style of girls and women doing their own hair on the “horse tail” style, if it should become universal, will put all beauticians out of busi ness. However, judging from ex pressions we hear that day will not come. Women themselves talk rather risparaging ahout it. One woman told us she did hers one time hut will never again. The opinion is that there are two ob jections to. One is that it is done lip so slovenly as to leave the im pression that the doer is too lazy to fix or have her hair done up. The other is, and you hear it every day, that it leaves the im pression that you think of a horse raising his tail or some ugly pur pose, and that it looks vulgar. We known of a fine young woman wearing her hair thus done up to church and looking over every woman in church found she was the only one present so rigged up. She did not do it again. Said she j was through with the mess. In one of the best hotels in the country we observed a good look ing wearing this uncommon hair do. She was the only such pres ent and beholding herself in the mirror she concluded her hair was stringy and shaggy which made hers look more like a goat’s tail than a horse’s tail. Any one could just feel her thinking, never again a horse’s tail hair do for her. Whence came such an idea? Was it that some one felt a tinge of laziness or was it merely an idea of trying a new sort of fad to see if it would take? We do not think it will take generally. Let all the women consider that j hair is the glory to them and then the beauticians will aid them, in becoming more beautiful. 30.000 Persons See j Lost Colony This Yr. j — MANTEO. N. C.—Before Jthe | current week ends more than 30,- ■ 000 persons will have paid to see Paul Green’s symphonic drama THE LOST COLONY, now in its 14th season at Waterside Thea tre at Manteo on Roanoke Island, X. C, This ppushes the total for the 14 seasons to approximately 080.000 paying customers. The Lost Colony is America’s longest lived outdoor production. Written by . Pulitzer Prize Win ner Paul Green and shown first in 1087 the spacious drama, present- , ed bn multi-level stages in a , great atnhitheatre at Fort Ral- I eigh, actual site of the original I happenings in the story of the j play tells, has been presented j each summer since 1937, except during four World W&r II years whe nthe show had to be closed as a coastal blackout security measure. The story Paul Green’s inter nationally famous drama tells is built up around attempts by Sir Walter Raleigh to establish the first colony in the New World. It also tells, in song, dance, panto mime and the spoken word, of the events back in. Elizabethan Eng land of the 16th Century when plans were being: laid to extend the British Empire to new lands, how the “New World” discovered by Captpins Amadas and Barlowe was named “Virginia” in honor of the then ruling Briitsh Queen Elizabeth, and of Virginia Dare, the first child of English paren tage born in the New World. (It was 200 years later before the immediate territory of the origi nal happenings in 1584-87. be came North Carolina and thus some students of Virginia history say that the commonwealth actu ally had its founding at Roanoke Island, instead of Jamestown, where the first permanent English settlement was planted in 1608) The 1954 season, from the standpoint of weather, has been a rugged one for The Lost Colo ny. Already this year, four com plete rainouts (and performance cancellations) and three partial rainouts, has set the attendance back more than 4,000 persons. But as General Manager R. E. Jordan explained this week,” the paid attendance is somewhat be hind as compared to 1953, for the same number of performances, but ahead of 1952.” In 1952 only 46,000 persons paid to see the show as compared to 52,000 last Since the rainy weather of July this year, attendance has shown a steady increase each night. The rains, unfavorable for attendance at the time they occurred, may eventually mean larger atten dance before the season is over, and Jordan explains it this way: “General drought conditions were hitting the rural areas of North Carolina and Virginia in a very serious manner. The rains came, ad the crops were saved. As a result, our patronage from the rich tobacco and farming lands of North Carolina and Vir ginia, is already on the increase —the rains made this come about that way.” N. C.
