Question Once And For All,
Pauline Davis
SACRAMENTO (UPD Assem
blywoman Pauline L. Davis, the
woman chairman of the lower
chamber Fish and Game Commit
tee, has appointed a 20-member
committee she hopes will solve
the doe deer hunting situation for
once and all.
She said that the committee
represented all interests and areas
in the controversial subject.
Most sources agree with her
with one possible omission and it
is a glaring one. She neglected to
name any one from the agency
involved the Fish and Game
NEWARK. N.J. (UPII The
number of men who wear
toupees has doubled in the past 10
years, says a New Jersey wig
maker, who's found they're not as
sell-conscious about it as they used
to be.
"All kinds of people wear wigs,"
said Louis Lehncr of Cliflon, N.J
"Jersey politicians as well as ac
tors who want to impress the pub
lic, and a truck driver who wants
to look as young as he can, or
some big-shot executive trying to
duck company retirement policies."
Women also wear hair pieces.
Lohner confided just as many
women as men, in fact.
Lehner, a hefty 5 foot 7, Vien
na born wigmaker, has turned out
several thousand wigs and tou
pees during his 12 years of doing
business in Newark.
The toupees cost anywhere from
$75 for a small piece to $:t."iu for a
full head of hair. Wigs lor the
ladies or "transformations" as
Lehner tactfully calls them gen
erally cost from $200 to $350. A
wig's average life is three year?.
Hair for the wigs is cut from
the head of fresh-cheeked peasant
girls from small villages in the
mountains of France and Italy,
where the girls wear their hair
long and preserve the necessary
uniform color.
Upon receiving the hair from ex
porters, Lehner boils it for sterili
zation. He has several hundred
pounds of cut hair in 500 different
colors and three different textures
fine, medium and coarse.
Lohner blends three or four hair
colors lo achieve the desired color,
since natural hair is made up of
different shades.
The next step is to examine a
pre bald photograph of the custo
mer. He tries on various wigs dur
ing the first appointment in or
der to select the one most becom
ing. The next step is to place a pa
per pattern of the wig on a wood
en head and trace its outlines in
heavy black pencil. Ribbon is
placed on this tracing and silk lace
is sewn on the ribbon to form the
wig's foundation.
An clastic band is fitted across
the back. The wig foundation is
fitted to the customer on his sec
ond appoiutment.
Finally, three girls, who have
Von trained six months for this
work, spend 30 to 40 hours insert
ing several thousands hairs into
the lace work with what is called
a "ventilating" needle.
The booths in Lehner's shop
have separata exits so customers
won't recognize each other during
their visits.
TEACHER c
KVANSTON. III. (lTI-Johnny
Iicvolta, who plays in a few choice
tournaments these days, generally
is regarded as one ot the out
standing teachers of the game.
Many outstanding men and wom
en golfers often seek his advice
when their game needs doctoring.
To Settle Doe
Department.
As Walt Radke. sports colum
nist for the San Francisco Exam
iner, put it:
". , . the exclusion of any repre
sentation by our Fish and Game
Department, except as a provider
of technical information when
asked, seems a prime piece of
comedy."
Said Mrs. Davis: "The purpose
of the advisory committee is to
attempt to resolve some of the
differences of opinion regarding
California big game policies.
"Although the Department of
Lehner learned wig making in
Vienna during a four-year appren
ticeship. He came to the United
States in 1H2.1. when few people in
Austria could afford wigs, he
said.
What advice does Lehner have
for those who wear wigs? Al
though wigs cannot be distin
guished from the real thing ex
cept by a practiced eye, he said,
it is still not ? good idea to keep ,l
toupee secret from a spouse. He
or she is bound to find out.
Fish and Game is not a part of
the advisory group, one of their
representatives will be in attend
ance to provide technical informa
tional services only."
But officials of the agency said
no word had yet been received
from Mrs. Davis asking that a
member of the department be
present at all meetings. And oth
er sources said that none is forth
coming. The advisory committee will
meet at its discretion and report
its opinions and recommendations
to the interim committee on fish
and game before the 1001 general
session of the state Legislature.
Members of the committee won't
be paid for doing the job and Mrs.
Davis said that the members won't
have "interference or instructions
from the Assembly interim com
mittee" on Fish and Game.
There will be no chairman of
the committee but a representa
tive of the Legislative Counsel's
office will be an "impartial mod
erator" at the meetings.
Mrs. Davis, a Portola Demo
crat, said that during field trips
of her committee "it became quite
evident that there is diversified
opinion among sportsmen's groups,
the Department of Fish and
Game and other agencies.
"This advisory group is an ef
fort to bring all these groups to
gether on common meeting ground
to try to work out a solution.
She first appointed 19 members
of the committee but later, for
political reasons, decided to add a
20th member, Joe Shannon, of the
Dunsmuir Rod and Gun Club at
Dunsmuir. tile is not related to
Walter T. Shannon, director of the
F&G Department.)
The original resolution asking
for a citizens advisory committee
to study the either-sex hunting
problem came from Assemblyman
John C. Williamson, a Bakersfield
Democrat.
He made his move at a January
13 meeting of the F&G commit
tee and it was approved by the
committee without a single "no"
vote.
Under the resolution adopted by
the committee, Mrs. Davis was in
structed to make appointments
"that will provide a representa
tive cross-section of sportsmen's
groups and of state and federal
agencies having a mutual interest
in the management of California
deer herds."
Williamson at that time de
scribed the policy on either-sex
hunts as "black or white." He
meant that an individual sports-
Without Aid
man is either for It or against
it. There is no middle-of-the-road.
Williamson was asked if he
thought the citizens group would
be able to get unified behind the
question. He replied that "I think
we can get a majority."
California's Fish and Game Com
mission and Department has been
moving slowly toward more either
sex hunts in the state. When Shan
non took office he told UPI he
would push for more such hunts
on the grounds that they were
sound game management.
Later, at the F&G committee
session, Shannon promised not to
"shove antlerless hunts down peo
ple's throats" but pointed out that
the great majority of Western
states now have such hunts.
