Sic Pierre Smirnoff FIs. Inc. .Harrford. Conn firm. "You probably never though of a hairpiece in terms of a crew cut," he said. "But 75 per cent of our customers are under age 40. And, if you want to .go a step further, 44 per cent are under 30. "Most people think of a hair piece as a thing for the old, bald pated men. It isn't. Theres' an entirely new trend to younger men. We've moved into a young er market. New Trend "And as you know, there's a whole trend toward male glamor now. Men are being encouraged to wear gaily colored shirts, Ber muda shorts, scented lotions, showier clothes. And let's face it, the male in the animal king dom is always the gaudier sex. We're just reverting to nature in showing off." Well, uh, Mr. Kaplan, since you advocate false tops for men as a point of better grooming, do you also advocate, as a point of better styling, that ladies should. . . well, umh. . . put up a false front? "I don't see any analogy there at all," said Kaplan briskly. ting away from the old popular concept of the toupee. You know what I mean the old gay-nineties, barbershop version of a hairpiece with a part in the mid dle, which was a dead giveaway. It looked like a toupee. And it wasn't secure." Kaplan was asked if it was true that bald-headed gents se cretly dread the possibility that their toupees will fall off in the middle of a passionate love scene. No More Fears "Research has shown that cus tomers experience these fears prior to purchasing a modern hairpiece," he said. "In the old days, jokes about losing your hairpiece were literally true. Nowadays they can be slept in, swum in, worn in a hurricane." Mr. Kaplan, you advocate sleeping in them? "Yes, I slept in mine last night, as a matter of fact," he said. "People have told us they've kept them on for weeks at a time, although I would not think that would.be too hygienic. But you don't have to take them off every night. Also, you might like to know that in World War II one of our hairpieces was torpedoed that is, was on a man who was on a boat that was torpedoed and came out of the ocean se- "Now as I was saying, we're get-cure on its head.'

SEE YOUR ELECTRICAL DEALER THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY A Western Company Owned and Operated by Western People Chicago Ba Loan Fund Chicago (U.R) The latest in, high finance is the banker who wears a crewcut or bobby socks. For example, Judy Redman. 16. She's secretary of the First Commercial Bank's "tefen age loan fund." The bank set up the fund a few months ago as an expression of faith in the character and in tegrity of teen-agers. "We're convinced that the ma jority of today's teenagers are responsible, level-headed young sters," said bank president Har old H. Stout. "And we're backing up this faith in youngsters with cash loans." The fund consists of S1000 set aside for loans to high school students, who may borrow up to S5.0 without co-signers or col lateral. The fund is administered by three high school students Ed ward Andurs, 17, chairman of the board; Dick Sjolund, 17, treasurer, and Judy. Adult Advisor An adult bank official sits in on their meetings to advise them on bank procedures. To get a loan a youngster must submit a written application. If the board feels that he's a good risk and wants the money for a worthwhile purpose, the loan is granted. The borrower must pay 3 per cent interest, considerably lower than the usual rate. But it teach es him that- banks dont' give money away. Howard K. Hurwith, board chairman of First Commercial nk Sets Up Headed by said the plan has been "an un qualified success." "To date, every teen-ager who has received a loan has met his obligations on time, or even ahead of schedule," he said. Hurwith said the plan has cre ated interest elsewhere. "The Ann Arbor Bank at Ann Arbor, Mich., has adopted a sim ilar plan," he said, "and the Kan sas State Bankers Association is considering adopting the pro gram on a statewide level." Pel Library for Youngsters Planned Oakland, Calif. (U.R) A "pet library" is expected to be in full operation within a short time. Youngsters with an interest in fauna will be able to "check out" many types of animals that they would not normally have access to monkeys, salamanders, squirrels, white mice, opossums, snakes and de-scented skunks. The only stipulation for this mammalian lend-lease program is that an adult must accept re sponsibility for the borrowed animal. s The "library," which will pro vide instructions for the care and feeding of each borrowed crea ture, will be operated to some degree on a donation basis. Its first inhabitant a small fox has already caused great excite ment, and civic minded officials hope that this is a sign of future success. Teen-Age Youngsters A 17-year-old boy recently borrowed money from the First Commercial's fund to finance back-to-school expenses. But he forgot to put a nickel in the parking meter while he was in the bank and had to borrow $3 more to pay the ticket. A Mexican youth sent here to high school thought the dollar was equal to the peso, and spent his dollars on that basis. He got a loan and a lecture on the value of the dollar. One applicant did not qualify because he was 12 and his birth day was a couple of months away. But the board made an exception and loaned him money to buy clothes for school because he's a good risk. He has a part-time job which pays $50 a month. POLIO CASES DECLINE Washington (U.R) The Public Health Service said that 459 new polio cases were reported last week, a slight drop from the pre vious week. An experimental diet contain ing 50 per cent protein and sev eral antibiotics produced kittens that grew better and were healthier than a control group.
