' v ' '-7- i -I Famous Trichologist Tells Truth About Saving And Improving Hair This new method of home treament of saving and grow ing thicker hair will be dem onstrated in Medford. Oregon, Wednesday only. June 1. These srivate individual demonstrations will be held at the Jackson Hotel on Wednes day only, June 1. 2 P.M. til 9 P.M. OKLAHOMA CITY May 28 In an interview here today D. Russell Collins, internationally famous trichologist and director of the Collins Hair and Scalp Experts. Inc., said, "There are 18 different scalp disorders that cause most men and women to lose hair. Using common sense, a person must realize no one tonic or so-called cure-all coulcl correct all the disorders," he ex plained. GUARANTEED "The Collins firm, recognizing that most people are skeptical of claims that hair can be grown on balding heads, offers a guaran tee." Collins said. Once a person avails them seLves to the Collins treatment his skepticism immediately dis appears. To insure this, we otier this guarantee. "If you are not completely satisfied writh your hair progress in the very first 30 davs your money will be re turned." HOPELESS CASES DISCOURAGED First the Collins specialists are quick to tell hopeless cases that they cannot be helped. But the hopeless-' cases are few. Only if a man is completely, shiny bald is he in this lost category. If there is fuzz, no matter how light, thin, or colorless, the Col lins firm can perform wonders. Everyone is given a complete, private examination to deter mine the condition of his scalp, and cause for his hair trouble. FREE EXAMINATIONS This examination is very thor ough and highly technical, it re quires 20 to 30 minutes. There is no charge for this examination Swimming Party Trip Turns Into Tragedy Minden, La. (U.R) Two air men and a Waf were killed Sunday and two other airmen were injured when their auto mobile ran off a curve while en route to a nearby lake for a swim after a beer drinking party. Three others were in the car. Killed were Waf Airman 3-C Claire Bartlo, 19, Fresno. Calif.; Airman 2C Ralph C. Mirabal, 22, Pittsburgh, Pa., and Airman 3C Robert Roland, 21, New York City. Arizona's tourist business has gained 600 per cent in 10 years. and no appointment is necessary. After the examination he is told the required length of treatment and how much it will cost. After starting treatment, he makes regular reports to the Col lins firm in Oklahoma City, and a trichologist will retrun - to check his progress periodically. To spread the opportunity of normal, healthy hair to the thousands who are desperately looking for help, the Collins frim is spending specialists to various cities throughout the United States to conduct exami nations and start home treat ment. NO CUREALL "We have no cure-all for slick, shiny baldness," Collins empha sizes. "If there is fuzz, the root is still capable of creating hair and we can perform what seems to me a miracle." There is one thing Collins wants to be certain every man and woman knows. If a recession appears at the temples or a spot begins to show up on the crown of the head, there is something wrong and it should be given immediate attention. HAIR FOR LIFETIME "If clients follow our direc tions during treatment, and aft er they finish the course, there is no reason why they will not have hair all the rest of their lives," Collins said. "Our firm is definitely behind this treatment, it all depends on the individual client's faithful observation of a few simple rules." HOW'S YOUR HAIR? If it worries you call Tri chologist S. M. Carey, at the Jackson Hotel in Medford, Oregon on Wednesday only, June 1. 2 P.M. til 9 P.M. The public is invited. You do not need an appointment. The ex aminations are private and you will not be embarrassed or obligated in any way. References: Financial, First Nat'l Bank and Trust Co., of Oklahoma City. Oklahoma. adv. Annual Wage, Stock Sharing Plans Considered Detroit (U.R) The Ford Motor company replies today to CIO President Walter Reuther's bold offer to let Ford workers decide between his annual wage plan and Fords stock-sharing offer. The company was expected to tell Reuther before nightfall if it would accept his dare to put the two plans to a binding vote of Ford workers. The answer appeared to hold the key to whether the auto industry is in for crippling strikes this year. If Ford rejects the offer, it appeared certain Reuther would call his 140.000 United Auto Workers in the huge Ford em pire out on strike Thursday. If Ford accepts, Reuther said he will call off the strike. Eliminate Cost Question Reuther, in proposing the vote, said the union would agree to scale its annual wage demand . down to- the point where it would cost only 12 cents an hour. He said that is the same amount the company's "prosperity plan" would cost and would eliminate the cost as any question in the matter. The negotiations reached a cli max rapidly during the long Memorial Day week end. It was Ford himself who first suggest ed the idea of a vote by rank-and-file members. In a letter to Reuther, in which he declined Reuther's offer to attend a meet ing at which the union's Ford council decided to strike Thurs day, he urged Reuther to take the Ford plan for "partnership in prosperity" to 'the union membership. He said it would be an "un forgiveable error" if rank-and-file members weren't given their say on his comany's offer for stocksharing and other bene fits given the union last Thurs day. Reuther, who let the Ford suggestion go by for 48 hours, suddenly seized upon it in a move that appeared to catch the company by surprise on Monday. He suddenly handed Ford a letter saying "I Agree." He said the final decision should be left up to Ford workers. But he said the workers should be permit ted to decide between the Ford plan and his plan for a guaran teed annual wage. He threw in the provision that both sides "agree in advance to be fctound by the democratic decision of the Ford workers." Ford has offered a program to let workers buy stock at half price, borrow money without in terest when laid off and receive severance pay if Dermanentlv discharged. Portland Factory Damaged by Flames Portland (U.R) A three-alarm Memorial day afternoon fire caused about $40,000 damase to a rubber pnnH northwest Portland yesterday. The fire, which for a time threatened adjoining buildings, broke out in mid-afternoon at the Western Foam Latex Com pany. Firemen brought it under control in about half an hour. 'ire Marshal Dale Gilman estimated damage to the four store building at 530,000 with most of the loss to company products, mostly foam rubber. Assistant Fire Chief Ed Boat right said firemen had to fight the blaze from rooftops and neighboring buildings because of heavy smoke and flames. r Death of Youngster Remains Mysterious Redwood City, Calif (U.R) San Mateo County Coroner Paul Jensen said today he will try again to discover what caused the mysterious death of 4-year-old Susan Ruth Littlefield. Jensen said both an autopsy and examination by a microscope yesterday gave no clues to the death of the little girl. Susan Ruth suddenly fell dead on the lawn of her home in South San Francisco Sunday. She was seemingly in good health. Jensen said he will make an other examination today with more powerful instruments. Funeral services for Susan Ruth will be held tomorrow. HOUSE CLEANING Rugs A Furniture) Cleaned Walls Woodwork Floors Windows Venetian Blinds Randy's Cleaning Service Strike Would Cost Ford Workers Editor's not: The following dis patch exclusive!- sets forth for the first time exactly how much it will cost the 140.000 i'ord employees to g on strike against Ford Motor Co.. a privately-owned concern of the Ford family, never files annual statements which would include such figures. By REY W. BRANE United Press Correspondent Detroit (U.R) It will cost Ford Motor Co. workers nearly S3,000.000 a day to go on strike Thursday if a settlement of the current contract dispute isn't reached. The figures include the S2, 690.000 a day Ford workers get in direct wages from the com pany and an extra S2.50 a day per worker in fringe benefits. In just three weeks, in direct wage losses, the strike would cost workers $40,350,000. That is more money than all of the past nine authorized strikes against Ford in the union's history have cost work ers. The other nine strikes com bined have cost only $40,000, 000 in wage losses. In the Detroit area alone, where Ford has 76.000 hourly workers, the cost of a strike in direct wages each day would be Western Mexico Area Strangled By Lack of Power Guadalajara (U.R) A power shortage is slowly strangling this tourist and industrial center of western Mexico. Prolonged dry spells have left Guadalajara with only three hours of electric power daily. The once-flourishing city is on the verge of economic collapse and industries are seeking per mits to move elsewhere. Despite scores of small, gasoline-powered generators used to give light to homes and small businesses, Guadalajara after dark is almost a ghost city. Streets Deserted The wide, new streets and nar row, cobblestone lanes dating back to the Spanish conquest are virtually deserted at night be cause many people are afraid to leave their homes. Crime has in creased greatly since the long blackouts began. The drought has been building up for years, but only recently have its effects reached disaster proportions. In this city of contrasts, where ultra-modern buildings tower be side ancient, colonial structures, thousands of workmen are idle because of shutdowns ' wheat mills, textile plants, distilleries and railway shops. The chamber of commerce es-! timates production has fallen to 80 per cent below normal. Bank deposits have dropped sharply in recent weeks. Drug stores no longer handle medi cine's that require refrigeration. Merchants suffer because sales have decreased. No Grass on Ranges Thousands of acres of parched farmland can no longer be irri gated,' and there is no grass on the ranges for livestock. A group of industrialists has asked the federal government to find a source of emergency power for the dying city, but at present no solution is at hand. The ministry of hydraulic re sources in Mexico City is study ing the possibility of releasing more water from fast-disappearing Lake Chapala, the city's only source of power, but says the level is dangerously low. In the past five years, the big lake has receded to points of more than a mile from towns that were once lakeside resorts. El Cobano hydroelectric plant, which was set into operation April 20 in the neighboring state of Michoacan, will furnish lim ited power to Guadalajara, but industrialists say it will be far short of normal requirements. As a last resort, the Chamber of Commerce is bringing down a group of American rainmakers who will try to fill Lake Cha pala. But at least 12 inches of rain are needed to bring the ie'vel back to normal and the operation depends largely on weather con ditions and coud formations. HE'S SURPRISED Oneida, Wis.

The watch was stolen. PHONE -4069 Sl.600.000. Each week the bill would mount up to S8,000,000 in the Detroit area, while in the nation it would cost $14,800,000 a week. If the strike develops over the annual wage, both the union and company expect a long-drawn battle that could last four to six months. The strike against Chrysler in 1950 lasted 108 days. A four month strike against Ford would cost its workers S251,600,000 in wages, more than quarter of a billion dollars. But this cost, compiled from official figures, would be only a Berserk Gunman Slays for 'God' Dayton, O. (U.R) A serk gunman who said he ber "did it for his God," shot and killed one person and wounded six others in two downtown banks today before he was felled him self by police gunfire. Police identified the gunman as Richard Meyrs, 46. He was reported near death with a bul let wound in the abdomen. They said he walked into the Third National Bank and shot five persons with a .38 caliber automatic pistol, then dashed to the adjoining Winter National Bank and Trust Co., where he shot two others before police felled him with three bullets in his body. George Sawaya, a market op erator, was killed when struck by a bullet. He was a patron in the Third National bank. Police said the only explan ation Meyers gave was that he "did it for his God."
