Hair Designing.
Let's salute a few pioneers.

Walker one of the great, great pio­
neers of all time. M adame Walker

Those of us that don't have w hat
you call 'good' hair (smile), will al­
ways love the ground that this great

Every time you pick up a press­

uct, think of M adame C.J. Walker.

3 ) Continued law enforcem ent
efforts in targeting and arresting pro­
lific burglars who often com m it more
than one burglary prior to their being
identified and apprehended.
4) Finally, there are still a number
of property crim es (i.e., burglary and
larceny) that are not reported to the po­
lice. The reasons could include apathy,
and concerns o f increased insurance
prem ium s may outweigh the concern
to report the crime.
In regard to m otor vehicle theft,
since the autom obile is the single larg­
est investment many persons make, they
will usually report a stolen auto.
Therefore, we conclude that (1)
auto theft usually is reported, and (2)
there truly has been a decline in the
num ber of auto thefts attributed to the
aforem entioned reasons (1,2,3 and 4.)
