Hair :toes Nothing for People
By E. U. (Ted) Schrader
To put it baleity, I have no
hair. There's a inra:c's halo
that 'grows a milligram or two,
but the part has less coating
than most people's tongues. I
regard r'y c iidition .is a tri-
umph or L\olutior. Charles
Darwin .t'e;aJd say I had arrived.,
As I atlderstand it, nature
provided animals with hair to
pr•:teot glen: against the ele-
:: tuts, b.:t human animals can
protect themselves. hair is a
nuisance:. It gets in your eyes
when you swii1 and wind makes
it quiver and dance. The ad-
vanced members of the species
need no hair.

Reason for bragging this way
is that most people blush and
squirm when they permit their
eyes to dwell on my happy
state.
The ether evening, a lav-
ender -type lady, who taitestmy
night -school course, observed:
"Pierre Berton would look much
better on television it he wore
a hair -piece." Then she broke
into giggling sounds and waxed
. delicate: pink. Within sec-
onds she felt the social need to
.assure rue that I had a hand-
some head, baldness suited
me, and I was indeed a good-
looking guy. (I wouldn't re-
peat her statements, except I
am under oath to speak the
truth.)
One day I was dallying with
my coffee cup in a restaurant,
when a preschool child saunter-
ed to Inv table, fixed his gaze
on Inv dome, and squealed:
"Look ma: Ile has no hair."
The another scrambled down the
aisle, seiLed her social delin-
quent by the wrist, and wrench-
ed hien to his chair. I assured
the young matron that her child
had done nothing more than
make an accurate scientificob-
servatiorl and he did not deserve
the opprobrium of the entire
cafe. She blustered that she
would smite her offspring when
she got home. What a pity.
Even my barber blushes. I
knew I need a haircut when my
neck itches. Nothing is more
unkempt than an uncut neck. I
now keep track of this need by
going on paydays: ti:e ninth and
the 24th. jlv barber snips for
three or tour min:..te;, and mai:-
my neck (Iii': euncept of
ct ce r 1u:.a!ry), hut refuses to
accept payment. "1 couldn't,"
he ;.acs, blushing, " I didn't
du anvthing."
Oat: o: II1\ jo;'rliali:til stu-
dents observed: if you would
rear a wilt, you'd look
Who wants to Moore :;:;' F:•.sept
. I -rear-oleic.
When I elrieit: from the
sw:l.'ltning pool at the univer-
sity, other members of the ,ra-
duate club search for combs.
(One rn.:n said: "If you don't
mind communicating bacteria,
you can have mine," which
sounded very erudite, Ithought.:
Not me. I don't even smooth
my hair with my hands.
13ELMORE
Mr. and Mrs. Doug McPher-
son, Ricky, Gail and Janie visi-
ted last week at the home of
Mrs. McPherson's parents at
Campbell's Bay, Quebec, En -
route they visited Upper Cana-
da Village, Old Fort Henry and
the Parliament Buildings in Ot-
tawa.
Mr. and Mrs. W, Alcock
and children visited at the home
or Mr. and Mrs. Earl Fitch on
the week -end.
Federal law requires boat
owners to provide a govern-
ment -approved life jacket for
each person on hoard.'
The only place I regretted
being bald was in Southern Cal-
ifornia. I had been basking in
the sun for seven weeks, and
my head acquired the lustre of
teak. The night before my de-
parture, the ape . of my head
began to itch. ;a: satisfying
the itch, six sq ..:re inches of
suntan peeled off and I return-
ed a blushing pink.
Hair does not rig for peo-
ple and is a nui`a.n. e. I pity
mere who are on the lower
scale of evolution.
Purchases Home

Mr, and Mrs. Richard Cam-
peau have purchased the resi-
dence of Mrs. W. W. Arm-
strong on Shuter Street and will

Edwards' building on Victoria
Street.
Mrs. Armstrong will move
into the upstair apartment of
the Shuter Street home where
she will live during the sum-
zner months. Mrs. Armstrong
goes south for the winter:.
Sant Summer Haunt
Once upon a time, and not so long ago, a group of Muskoka
businessmen built a village and a workshop and invited Santa
Clause to leave his North Polepalace and spend his summer in
this storied holidayland. They called the little community"San-
ta's Village", in honor of the jolly old saint, on a piece ofland
exactly half way between the equator and the North Pole, right
on the 45th parallel'. It is a scenic site if there ever was one --
right on the hank of the Muskoka River with the forest growing
all round -- and it's open seven days a week until October 12,
Thanksgiving, Day.

Here, children of all ages
are happily greeted by Santa
himself and invited to his own
home to meet "Snowbo", his
famous white Eskimo dog and
eight "tiny reindeer". They
are invited, too,to watch the
Elves and Gnomes at work in
Santa's Workshop, making toys
for Christmas time.
There are many other joyful
things to see and do at Santa's
Village. Boys and girls ride the
"Toonerville Trolley", a "Cov-
ered Wagon"; shoot arrows at
targets on "Robin Hood's" Ar-
chery Range, and play hide and
seek in the "Enchanted Forest".
When they get hungry they
may buy goodies and milk or
soda pop at Alice's Tea Room
or at the rustic Gingerbread
House. Visitors who bring
lunch baskets enjoy the pine -
scented shade of the Picnic
Woods on the river bank. Ori
Sunday, non -denominational
services are held in a pretty
Children's Chapel.
There is a new Candy Cane
Express, a miniature train with
four gaily decorated passenger
cars which take smallfry on a
half -mile ride -- all around the
village. Out in the river is
"Treasure Island" with life-size
figures of Long John Silver, the
famous pirate, and 14 of his
crew. Beaching on the shore in
"Pirate's Cove" is an old Span-
ish galleon on which to climb
about and hunt treasure, half-
way across, storybook charac-
ters, "Three Men in a Tub",
rock and roll about in the waves
kicked up by the ferry boat.
This is a most impressive craft
called "Kris Kringle's River
Boat" which huffs and puffs and
blows its whistle just for the fun
of it,
THIS CATERPILLAR and millions like him have left 35
acres of mixed grain and barley practically ruined on the
farm of Gordon Wright. This worm is eating a small
leaf near the edge of the Wright's front lawn, which was
also attacked by the crawling hordes.—A-T Photo.
