JUNK LINE TRUNK LINE — Edward Heintz, never quit Working on railroad cars when he retired.
He simply transferred his affections from the Railroad, where he was a car carpenter, to a
brand-new attic railroad. Now 68, he's been working four or five hours a day on his hobby
since he retired. He has built 150 cars—gondolas, coaches and cabooses—mostly out of oil4 cans
from gas station rubbish bins and scrap lumber. He has two miles of track, has built switches
and even a three-level elevator. His only purchase was a pair of locomotives. "It makes me for-

And $tYli4ta its the famous sal-
ons are now busy planning their
liOxt season's coiffures. Why de
lbey undertake this highly ex-
pensive business? A stylist can
treats a hair fashion that will
yarn hundreds of thousands of
dollars, Yet he gets little or 110-
thing .out of it, except perhaps
tome grudging admiration, if he
can prove that lie invented the
rtyle.
To whorl, then, does the for-
tune go? It goes to thousands
of salon owners who cater for
the fashion world, There is 11.0
copyright to a hair style. Once
it has been introduced and it
catches en, any competent hair-
dresser in Macclesfield or •Min-
neapolis or Montreal can copy
It and sell it to women as his
own work.
An unknown London hair-
dresser produced a fashion about
the time of the first world war
that not only earned hairdress-
ers millions of dollars, but also
made permanent waving a pay-
ing proposition and created the
modern women's hairdressing
business. This was the "Bob,"
The first modern short - hair
;style. And the man who created.
It was almost certainly a men's
hairdresser.
The "Shingle," which followed
it, made nearly as much, No
One knows for certain who in-
vented that, except it must again
have been the work of a men's
hairdresser, because they are all
expert cutters of hair. Few
ladies' hairdressers can compete
'with .them in, this branch.
A more recent style — it swept
the world — was the "Page Boy."
Credit for that simple, fashion
must go to the film studio hair-
dresser who dressed Greta Gar-
bo's blonde locks, Garbo the
Great, incidentally, was a 'hair-
dresser before setting out on
her fabulous film career. But
not a women!s hairdresser. She
'worked in,a men's saloon, shav-
ing bristly male chins arid cut-
ting hair!
Garbo's long - lived contribu-
tion, the "Page Boy," however,
instead of making a fOttune for
hairdressers, nearly ,ruined them.
It lost them Millions of dollars
in Britain and the'•pnited States.
This was bibause the style
could be fixed easily by a wom-
an herself, without, the aid 'of
a professional hairdieSser. ' It
was only too easy -- the hair
did not even to be cut,
just brushed smoothly over the
bead and the ends lightly curled
inwards.
Hairdressers have never for-
given Garbo for publicizing this
fashion with such ,unwitting but
deadly effect. The fact that she
bad worked in the business mere-
ly added a load of salt to the
wound!
In days gone by hair stylists
were people of great importance

of looking beautiful is really
an art."

At infrequent intervals the

National Health lPlans
"My goodness, you're surely
not going to oppose a, national
health plan! You'll lose all
your readers! Why on earth do
you write against things like
health?"'
How do you answer a letter
like that? I've tried a dozen
approaches. "Dear lady,, I 'do
not oppose things like health.
I am all for good health. But 'I
DO oppose this, new national
health plan because I am sure
that more people 'could have
more health for less money."
I lave, a friend who, last
year, put off „buying .a new car
so ' that he could pay the bill
for a 'heavy siege of hospital
expenses incurred by his fami-
ly. In his case, since he was not
a salesman, he was, able to get
by with the old car for one
more season. The hospital and
medical bills really hurt, but
he valued the health of his fa-
mily, and he paid them.
But he knew another family,
in the same town, who also in-
curred hospital bills. They also
bought a TV set' and they have
their case of beer every week-
end, and many other luxuries.
They didn't pay their doctor.
Furthermore, the family needs
dental care, and won't get it.
They would rather spend $400
on a TV set than pay $200 for
a set of teeth..
There will be thousands of
instances Where the man who
does care, the man who saves
and sacrifices, because he
values health, will have to foot
the bill for folk who couldn't
care less! The government will
lump us all together, treat us
all the same.
If the pr6posed national health
plan would give us all some
common security against di-
sastrous hospital and medical
bills, I would find it hard to
oppose. I know that a series of
unfortunate illnesses can wreck
the finances of even the most
prudent family,
But in the main, it is far less
costly and, I suspect, far more
effective, when citizens insure
themselves by joining the Blue
Cross or such services as the

in society and they amassed con-
siderable wealth. In Napoleon's
time they had carriages and liv-
eried servants. Frederic, hair-
dresser to Napoleon's Josephine,
'had a special position and priv-
ileges at court which would nev-
er be accorded to the royal hair-
dresser in England.
Hair fashions in those times
were the key to dress and mil-
linery styles. The dress design-
er was compelled to follow the
'work• and ideas of the hair
stylist, whose work outshone his
own.
Styles were highly ornate and
complex. As many as six hair-
dressers would work on one
ceiffttre. Towards the,end of the
eighteenth century, hair was of-
ten clreskd up to the height of
three feet, Women who wore
these creations had to sit on
the,floors of their Carriages, and
those who, slept,• in their coif-
fures had 'to have 'Special wood-
en rests made for their shoul-
ders and neck.
Because flour was used a good
deal in the dressings to keep
them stiff and in shape, one not-
able lady always went to sleep
with a mousetrap concealed in
her hair to preVent mice from
eating her coiffure!
These fantastic hair styles,
which stylists could repeat to-
day if they were ever' required,
sometimes cost their A arers
well over $500 a time, plus the
high cost of maintenance,
One of the most remarkable
styles in the whole history of
hair fashion was that produced
during the French Revolution.
It was called a la. Victime au
Sacrifice. The hair was drawn
up well from the nape of the
neck, forward and over the
crown, as it was arranged for
the scaffold, the only difference
being that it fell on the fore-
head in a hunch of curls.
