Hair. I didn't realize there were so many interesting facts about it. I don't know if there is any truth to the idea put forth by my Grandfather that his hair only grew properly if he had his hair cut on the new moon, or the other one which is constantly thrown around about blondes • having more fun. Did you know: * Hair texture is determined by the shape of the hair. Straight hair has a round shape, wavy and curly hair is flat: Tete flattest hair is the waviest and curliest. * The shape of the hair follicles (the places where the hair grows on the skin) will determine whether hair is curly or straight: a round follicle will -produce straight hair, an oval one will produce wavy hair and an elliptical one will produce curly hair. * "Goose bumps" are caused by muscles contracting around the hair when you are cold or frightened. * Human scalp hair will normally grow for two to six years. Then it is "shed" as a new hair grows out of the follicle. This is the reason that hair seems to stop growing at a certain length. Those people who have very long hair are abnormal as they seem to have only a growing phase for their hair, and no rest- ing phase. * Humans "shed" 70-100 hairs per day. * On average there are 200 hairs in each square centimetre of sc*1Scalp hair grows about 1/2 centimetre per month * Shorter hair such as eyelashes have a shorter growing peri- od. * Blonde beards grow faster than other ones, and the average man spends about 145 days of his life shaving his face. * Hair grows faster on children. * Hair grows faster in the summer. * Baldness occurs when the hair follicles die and no longer produce new hair. * Blondes, on average, have more hair on their heads than brunettes, who, in tum, have more hair than redheads. The following recipe bears no relationship to hair whatsoev- er! It will not put hair on your chest, nor will it give you curly hair, nor is it a cure for baldness. It is simply the best recipe I have ever found for bean salad. Bean Salad Combine: 1 tin green beans 1 tin yellow beans All of these quantities can be 1 tin lima beans adjusted to suit the taste of 1 tin kidney beans your family. 1 tin chick peas chopped green pepper to taste chopped onion to taste Mix and pour over the beans: 12 cup oil ' l/2 cup vinegar 3/4 cup sugar salt and pepper to taste. Allow to stand refrigerated overnight. Dashwood Womens institute holds local car rally DASHWOOD - On June 2 the Dashwood Women's Institute meet- ing opened with a car rally in the local area.
