OF BARBERS AND PRICES COMMENTING editorially upon the move of Union Barber in Detroit, Mich., ad vancing their prices for adult haircuts irom $1.50 to S1.75 on week days, and to $2.00 on Saturdays, the Detroit Free Press had this to say; "At We See It" "Announcement that prices hereafter will cost more, em phasises again how far we have come from the 'shave and a haircut-two-bits' days. "Whether the journey has been worthwhile is something we will not explore fully now. We'll just content ourselves with observing that we don't expect the $1.75 haircut will be any better than the $1.50 clipping or the two bit one with shave. "Let's consider instead the barber's problem. His cost of living has increased like everyone else's. By earmark ing some of the increase for a health and welfare plan, he merely joins the chase after that elusive something called 'security. "More important, we see in this prices increase a desire of the barber to free himself of the embarrassment of being forced to accept tips. "Clearly, he no longer re gards himself as a servitor. He has pulled himself up by his own razor strop to a salary scale which enables him to scorn gratuities." EFFECTIVE JULY 1 Medford & Rogue Valley 50 125 HAIRCUTS. CHILDREN UNDER 12.

The industrial shares were supported on that news. They came back to a small net gain from a decline that amounted to more than 2 points. Rails also were brought back after a loss of more than a point. Volume fell off sharply when the market was in a decline early in the session and picked up somewhat later as prices lifted. Early selling was ascribed to fears of a steel strike although market experts said the 1st was entitled to a selloff after a long series of advances.

All-Alive in Color By -TECHNICOLOR MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEH Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) The end 1 of Hollywood's wide-screen rev olution is in sight at last. Walt Disney today unveiiea a screen so wide it goes all the way around the theater. This new cir- c u 1 a r screen was hailed with some re lief by the lo cal press. For nearly Aline Moebr two years w,e have been tramping to demon strations of wide-screen systems from Cinerama to Vistavision, with Sterophonic sound blasting from the seats and chandeliers. Disney decided to end it all with a round screen that has a 360-degree angle. It needs a circular theater, of which there is only one so far. It was in stalled as a free exhibit at the new Disneyland amusement park that opens July 19. Not for Stories "It's strictly a novelty," ex plained Peter Ellenshaw who di rected the first 15-minute movie for "Circa-rama." "'We'll make travelogues or special acts for the system, but I don't think it could be used for stories. "We did this to put a stop to all this wide-screen business. They can't go any farther now!" Disney held a demonstration of his "roundies," and I can re port that to watch a circular movie you need eyes in the back of your head or a friend behind you. Otherwise, you miss half of the movie. But, as one scribe pointed out, with current plots this might not be a bad idea. Or you stand in the center oh the room and keep twirling around to watch the action. In circular theaters, seasick pills, the audience agreed, should be sold instead of popcorn. Show Stopper . "We tried having the audience sit down in swivel chairs but you get even dizzier that way," Disney executive Bill Anderson said. The first "Circa-rama movie ran only 15 minutes because that is all your swiveling head can stand. The production was a brunette in a polka-dot bikini bathing suit. She walked by a Las Vegas swimming pool and the audience, to a. man, turned in unison to watch her progress around the screen. The round movie was made by lmeriocKing ii cameras in a circle and mounting them on top of a car. The cameraman worked underneath. The 11 strips of film were projected on 11 screens arranged in a circle. It took Dis ney craftsmen three months to develop the system. Each camera had to match perfectly in focus and exposure. Disney next plans to film Shows at 7 P.M. l.Ti i ii News I By ALINE MOSSY United Press Correspondent scenes of San Francisco, the New York Harbor and a Mexica City bull ring for his 15-minula roundies."
