since she was six appealed to the
government today for a new wig.
She's going to get it too, under the

S. W. Davis, regional officer of j
the pensions ministry, told the
story today. j
The woman wrote that "she j
bought a second hand wig many j
years ago, but that it's now worn
out," Davis said.
"We have replied by telling her
that she can get a new wig through
us if she goes to a hospital first
to get the necessary certificate for
the health service. She will be
provided in fact, not with one but
two wigs, as a wig occasionally
has to be cleaned."
