Black wig designer fashions styles "B la c k women have a greater task of easily achiev ing new and intersting hair styles.” These words were echoed recently by Charles Reuben, designer fo r Summit A fry lic Wigs, and he ought to know . M r. Reuben enjoys the unique status of being the only Black wig designer in the country. And Summit is the only Black-ow ned company making wigs fo r Blackwomen. Together, they act as a team loyal to the idea of providing Black women with the kind of products they need. According to M r . Reuben, hairpieces serve a dual pur pose. Because of the d ifficult nature of a Black woman's h air, hairpieces take the struggle out of standing before a m ir r o r fo r hours creating interesting hairdos o r costly sessions at the hairdresser. They also act as a fashion accessory, as the right belt you would wear with pants or sweaters. M r . R e u b e n 's "h a irp ie ce w ardrobe" is in tended to accomplish these things. It consists of a Dome C u r- lette ($12.00) which is placed at the crown of head, A fro Puffs and C urly Puffs ($9.95 a p a ir each) which can he worn together o r separately and run the gamut from casual to dressy. A ll three com bined can give an endless variety of looks every day, 7 days a week, with a flic k of the brush fo r a cost of $31.90 plus tax. A ll of Summit's hairpieces are made of a unique fiber called A fry lic , a modacrylic fib e r expecially designed to simulate a Black woman's h air. Each comes with a eO-day warranty and complete care andwashing instructions. A choice of five colors is available —Black, o ff Black. Dark Brown, Chestnut Brown and Auburn.

Nigerian children reunited with families Another of the scars of the Nigerian c iv il war healed re cently with the closing of the .Mgbidi Reception Center in N ig e ria 's East Central State. Since the war ended In 1970, the Center has been tempor a rily home fo r 10,000 children from the state who were sent to safety during the fighting to Gabon and the Ivory Coast. When the children returned, a d iffic u lt process of reuniting STYLISTS them with their relatives be gan. Many of their fam ilies Ethel B ates had been scattered and many B ernetta Holder children were bereaved by the war which began in 1966.

The remaining 126 are without traceable fa m ily and w ill be fostered o r adopted wherever this is possible. The successful search fo r the fam ilies of 10,000children was due in the main to a state-wide display of pass port-size photographs of c h il dren in tie Center .
