TRY THE CLASSIFIEDS I 1 Mountain Musings 1 l i I__ by Gene Byrd ■ mam h bbm mama »5 Fools Rush In! < All this Convention week £ we have been subjected to a barrage of statements about t what is wrong with America 1 and many cures have been of- j fered for these ills. As I have listened to the i speakers “point with pride and 1 view with alarm,”’ I have a sneaking feeling that a great i segment of the American pop- ' ulation has been overlooked. ( Not one speaker to date has touched upon one of the press- ) ing problems of our day. I realize it is somewhat pre sumptuous of an obscure ] mountain teacher and preacher to rush in where even Sam ] Rayburn has refused to tread. To make sad matters worse, I greatly doubt if either John . Kennedy or Richard Nixon will be sympathetic. I did have 1 great hopes when Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai E. Stephenson were the candi- 1 dates but it was a losing bat tle at the “summit.” With some trepidation and less sense, I propose to bring ’ this problem from “under the hat.” Succintly stated: Something MUST be done for the Bald headed Men of America. The bare truth is before us, behind us and all around us. With great reflection, we must attack this grave situa tion. | While our leaders have been asleep, we have lost suprem acy of the hair. We must instigate a “crash” j program that will restore our men to a “place in the sun.” It has been stated that eight j out of ten men over the age ] of thirty suffer from baldness j to a greater or lesser degree. Fellow Americans, this is not in keeping with the intent and 1 purposes of Social Security. If elected (Whups, I”m not running, am I?), Oh, never mind. All Gaul Is Divided Baldness is divided into 1 three “parts”; so say research ers. There is “pattern baldness”, the V-shaped thinning at the temples, or starting at the crown of the head and moving forward to the brow. Then there is the kind known as alopecia areata which de velops in patches anywhere on the scalp. The third type is complete “billiard ball” baldness. Tap Roots Researchers! tell us that each of man’s 120,000 hairs grows up through a follicle or canal in the scalp. As old hairs die and fade away (Excuse me, General Mac Arthur) they are replaced by new, healthy hairs so long as the follicles are alive and well. Papa, How Could You? Aside from old age, the chief reason for dying follicles is heredity. A man’s hairline tends to recede in exactly the same pattern, at the same spot, and at about the same age as his father”s. Talking about “vicious cir cles!” Don’t say, “Dad blame it”; blame Dad. T’ain’t So! The above theory is sup posed to explode all the lame reasons given for baldness. Here’s some I’ve heard: (What’s yours?) Wearing a hat, not wearing a hat, being married, not being married, washing your hair too often, not washing it enough, using “cheap” hair tonic, wetting your hair before combing, us ing your brain too much, not using your brain, not having a brain, result of a high fever, freezing of wet hair in cold weather and perhaps the best of the lot, “falling hair.” Remedies Naturally, there have been many remedies suggested for this lamentable condition. Grasping at a hair the men of America have been willing to try almost anything to re store their hirsute glory. I once heard a friend say with great earnestness as he looked across a cluttered barn yard, “I’d rub stable manure on my head, if I thought it would make my hair come back.” This illustrates a desperate state of mind. Aunt Jennie Daugherty used to say that one could make a concoction from steeping the bark from a peach tree that would “grow hair on a rail.” Others say to massage the scalp vigorously with all kinds of preparations, vaseline be l ing one of them. Old timers had all kinds of formulas for restoration of hair; sulphur seems to have been one of the dominant in gredients of these restoratives. Present Status There is some propaganda at the present time that “as ■ long as there is fuzz” there is hope. This, of course, caus . es the cynics to recite, “Fuzzy , Wuzzy wuz a bear; Fuzzy ; Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy wasn’t fuzzy wuz-he?” It is reported that people ' who have patchy baldness, alopecia, have a very good times Are neia Each Friday Friday, 20 boys and girls : boarded a bus in ride to Ridge > crest where they began a hike ' up Rattlesnake Mountain. This * was the second of a series of t hikes sponsored by Beacon’s - Recreation program. ' Every Friday hikes are ^ scheduled for the boys and ' girls of the valley, j The next hike will be to ! High Windy. The hikers will C leave the playground at Nol . an Field at 9:30 to begin 1 their hike to the top of one ~ of our most scenic mountains. 5 Anyone who has the will to climb and a good comfortable I pair of shoes is invited to join. chance to re-grow hair with steroid hormone therapy. It appears that men with the other two types do not have great prospects for the present. Cheer up, Men. They are working on it. Inventors, Take Note It is said that if one will invent a better mouse-trap, the world will beat a path to the door. How would you like an ex pressway ? COOL LIKE YUL Breathes there a man with soul so dead, But yearns for hair upon his head. A head where once the curls did lay Departed . . . whence, we can not say. In spite of all our pain and care. Day by day, we lose our share. What brought forth this “bal ly-hoo”? This poem comes from “one of you.” New Swimming Classes Set At Swannanoa A second series of swimm ing classes sponsored by Beacon’s Summer Re' -eation Program are now open at the Orphanage Pool. The new classes will begin July 26. The schedule for the classes is as follows: 9:00-9:45, Intermediate; 9:45-10:30, Be ginners; 10:30-11:15, Jr. Life Saving; 11:15-12:00, Adult Be ginners (16 up).

LIVINGSTON SPEAKS AT ROTARY CLUB The regular meetnig of the Black Mountain - Swannanoa Rotary club was held at Don’s Outpost Monday, July 18. The speaker was Donald Livingston, C.P.A., of Ashe ville and Philadelphia. Mr. Livingston spoke on the sub ject “Peace Under Internation al Law.” His subject was not only interesting, but timely due to the critical condition of world affairs. He suggest ed Rotary might be able to promote this plan, as some of the leaders of the plan come from North Carolina. Next week’s speaker will be Mr. William Hadded, who is a freshman at Warren Wilson college, and a graduate of the American School for Boys in Tripoli. His parents moved I' from Palestine when that coun try was divided. The hospital equipment chairman reported two hos pital beds have already been loaned out, and other equip ment has been applied for, when purchased. Wilbur Ward, president, pre sided and said he was very pleased with the establishment of a club paper called “Rotary Filloe.” He also reported the chicken barbecue was a whop ping: success, with net pro ceeds of $350. Eight guests were present. ANOTHER PEEK Mr. and Mrs. Michael Gula of Alexandria, Va., returned home Tuesday after spending a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Atkins. Classifieds Sell-Ph.
