The next world war?
Beauty business expanding
by Ron Burrows
Just a few short months ago the
Observer ran a feature about Butch
Coors, the Los Angeles hair and
beauty expert who had just opened a
new salon at NE 14th and Broad
way.
Today, Butch reports that the
story and his continuing Observer
ad campaign have brought in hun
dreds of customers from all parts of
the Portland metropolitan area.
W alk into the salon tomorrow,
ask Butch what's new and he’ll say
(with that quick Coors grin)
“ Everything!"
A lot has changed in the past
months. The personnel have ex
panded from just Butch himself to a
staff of seven, including a manicur
ist. Mary, Michael, M ark, Sharon
and Richard now share the responsi
bility for “ Keeping Oregon Beauti
ful.”
And, what Butch now proudly of
fers is a full service salon— a total
program of beauty, health and fit
ness— everything from “ the best
curl in town at the best price" to
eyelash tinting and herbal body
wraps to revitalize your entire sys
tem.
Mary starts with the client’s own
basic skin color, and gives cus
tomers complete color coordination
they can use in choosing everything
from make-up and fashions to the
color or their next automobile!
Hair services range from cutting,
curling, coloring and perms to the
new transparent haircolor Cello
phanes, the vibrant—and safe— new
colors with no peroxide or ammonia
to harm the hair.
Butch believes in softening Black
hair (as opposed to "straighten
ing"), and dows a great deal of that
these days. He also loves working
with children (" T h e y ’re people,
too!**) and some days gets as many
as five at a time.
Child or adult, Butch is firm in
his convictions about styling to the
individual’s personality and face.
He is constantly abreast of the latest
trends, but sets many trends o f his
own and does not name his original
styles because “ there are so many of
them.”
In the Skin Care department,
Mary recommends a once-a-month
visit with customers doing their own
home care in between salon sesion,
using the 100 per cent pure products
she uses. (They contain aloe, V ita
min E and collagen.) Some local
plastic surgeons send their patients
to Masry for pre-and-post surgery
cosmetic consultations.
For sparse eyelashes, M ary
weaves in real hair at the Coors
salon to make lashes thicker and
more luxuriant without make-up—
great for skiers, swimmers, people
who wear glasses. She tints eye
lashes and brows as well.
Individual and group consulta
tion is available at Coors* on make
up application, with make-up coor
dinated to skin tones and applied to
minimize imperfections. The Herbal
M ary creates new hair style
for Fredie.
Body W rap restores collagen back
into the entire system for a com
pletely revitalizing effect (the wrap
itself takes an hour and a half; the
complete process a couple o f days),
stimulating circulation and aiding
muscle tone. Body Waxing employs
the European style of hair removal
— and wax, rather than tweezing, is
used for shaping eyebrows.
Butch, who has announced a 6
pm January 14th Make-Up Seminar
and Color Coordination Class, does
indeed seem to be rapidly providing
Portlanders with “ The Salon for the
’80s.”

Yassir Arafat.
These anti-Israel factions are
starting to get their viewpoint heard
more frequently, says Anderson.
" T h e greatest danger to Israel is
that the Arab world has gotten its
media trip together, and their prop
aganda war is not offensive to most
peo p le." This development is in
contrast to a generally pro-Israel at
titude that has prevailed in the U.S.
since World War II. Now that U.S.
politicians have become concerned
about maintaining the massive flow
of oil coming from Arab states, this
attitude is changing, she adds. “ It’s
sentimental in Congress now to
think of Israel."
Much o f the blame should be
placed with the P L O , Anderson
maintains. " T h e P L O wants war
and doesn’t care how they get it.
’ Liquidate’ is the PLO ’s word, and
Saudi Arabia is bankrolling them.”
I f a war o f exterm ination occurs
against the Israelis, Anderson asks,
" D o we have the boats to pick up
three million Jews?”
Into this cast of characters comes
the North African country of Libya,
its oil supply and its colorful and
controversial leader. C ol. Moam-
mer Khadafy. Anderson minces no
words. "Khadafy is the closest thing
to a Hitler we have had. He’s erratic
and fanatic; he wants to create a
revolutionary Islamic nation (in
Libya). He supports Ira n , but is
more revolutionary. He also sup
ports the PLO . but then, all Arab
states do.”
Anderson says the only democrat
ic state in the Middle East is Israel,
which was established after W orld
W ar I I . " T h e League o f Nations
was established and the old O tto
man Empire was dissolved,” she ex
plains. "Territory was set up to help
people govern themselves as demo
cratic nations. In 1947, Britain and
France gave up [their hold on the
area) and independence was granted
on the condition o f foreign pres
ence.”
Anderson thinks attempts are be
ing made to set up another Ottoman
Empire in the Middle East, with Is
lam as the cohesive force. " T h e
Moslem religion holds them to
gether. By the year 2,000, there will
be one thousand million Moslems in
the w o rld — the largest religious
group in the w o rld — and we’ ll be
back to the days of the Crusades."
This development bodes nothing
but ill for the Jewish people, A n
derson says. “ Jews and Christians
arc beneath contempt to Moslems.”
This enmity stems from a centuries-
old claim by Jews and Arabs that
both are descendants o f Abraham,
she explains, and that these descend
ants would head great nations.
Added to this is the fact that the
Koran (M oslem equivalent to the
Bible) is claimed to be the final and
unchangeable world o f God, and
Christians claim the same (fo r the
Bible), she adds.
In the midst of this religious and
political mess, can’t all parties learn
to get along? Anderson is skeptical.
"N ot when you’re dealing with 13th
century m entality. W e’ re dealing
with a different culture. In the Mos
lem world there is no reason to bet
ter the lot of people here, the glory
is when you die.”
Anderson was opposed to the sale
o f advanced warning aircraft
(AW ACs) to Saudi Arabia, because
"Saudi Arabia has said, ’ Israel is
our enemy.’ ” She supporteed Sen.
Bob Packwood's (R -O re .) fight
against the sale and says, " H e is a
man of conviction. He is pro-Israel
and w ill fight to the last drop o f
blood on that issue ”
This stance is becoming less com
mon, however, and Anderson sees
more problems for Israel as concern
over keeping oil flowing to U.S. in
dustry turns American sentiment in
creasingly toward the Arab point of
view. "A s Leon Uris said, the Jews
are in the eye of the cyclone.”
