LOCAL HAIRDRESSERSWILL
BRING ' ‘MAGIC" TO SHUT-
INS HERE
Many less-fortunate, lonely
citizens of this communitywho
are hospitalized or institutiona
lized, will get a special bit of
"magic" in their lives this
month. It’s all due to a nation
wide program that has little
to do with sleight-of-hand, or
rabbits coming out of a hat —
and it is a program highly prais
ed by doctors and supervisors
of these singled-out citizens.
Some 25 local members of the
National Hairdressers andCos-
metologists Association will
give beauty services (free of
charge) at all local institutions
during the week of February
10 to 16, as part of their cele
bration of National Beauty Salon
Week.
According to Mrs. EffieKop-
per, Roberta, Georgia, chair
man of Institutional Welfare
Program for the Peach Belt
Unit the hairdressers will bring
their special brand of "beauty
magic" to women at the Oaks
Nursing Home of Marshalville
and the Peach County Hospital.
This “magic" consists of hair
cuts, permanent waves, sham
poos and new Spring hairdo’s
—benefits that make a world of
difference of a person who feels
neglected and shut away from
normal activities.
Doctors and supervisors tell
us many of the persons we
visit have had almost outside
visit have had almost no outside
contact in years. "Friends and
relatives tend to lose contact
with patients. We bring our
talents and tools to the aid of
the morale, as much as to the
appearance. . . for really, the
two are directly related. The
person who feels well-groomed
now feels important... younger,
and far more self-confident.
We've been told this uplift of
spirit lasts long after our visit.
The hairdressers’ obser
vance of Public Welfare gift
services began nationally 13
years ago. Today, the NHCA
estimates over 500,000 similar
gifts of beauty will be given to
unfortunates during National
Beauty Salon Week — a week
which is filled with extra beauty
salon appointments, making it
quite difficult for members to
spend so much time away from
their own patrons.

building giving reasons why we
should stay in school.

The Reynolds Tigerett’s
spranged an surprise attack
on the Bearette’s of Butler
Friday night as they gave But
ler one of the toughest games
they have ever played in this
season. The Tigers, playing
their usual good game, defeated
the Bears of Butler without
any trouble at all. This was
the Tiger’s 6th Region game
victory.
Friday night the Tigerett’s
defeated the Vienna Cubs in
Reynolds. This was the first
encounter the Tigerett’s had
with the Cubs; the reason for
this was because the game was
postponed earlier this season
because of the tournament in
Zebulon. They will play the
Cubs again Tuesday in Vienna
for the return game. The Tigers
defeated the Vienna Cubs by
some 20 odd points. The game
ended with the substitutes play
ing most of the last half.
Reynolds and Yatesville were
tied for the third place in
the ratings. A coin was flip
ped to see who would be third
and Yates ville won; therefore,
Reynolds plays Byron the first
night of the tournament and if
they win, and provided Butler
wins over Macon County, there
should be another action-pack
ed game between two great
teams as Reynolds and Butler
collide the second night of the
tournament.
This week’s playing schedule;
Monday: Reynolds Junior team
vs Roberta in Reynolds. Tues-
