I cani just clp the old wig on and n-obody knows the difference." The wife of an upper-bracket executive said: "It's financially wortbýhhilo With thIat 'buibble' thing we hava* to wear these days, you haveto go to the beauty parlo)r twice a wieek." Whatever the reason, the na- tion's wvigglers are delighted. "It's getting to be a question'of-'social status now, like mink coats," said Max Miller, president of New York's Josepli Fleischer ç& Co. The Coùm pan y. a 130-year- old producer, im-porter, whole- saler, and retailer, i-, turning out "'seve-ral hiundred" wigs a week, expjaniding stqf[ and -Adverti3ing, Milrsays the percentiage of "problema" wigs (i.e., for the hairless) bas fallen from 70 to 50 in the past eighteen montiihs. One reason: "We're calIling thlem, ,wigs now in ads. Up to a year ago you could neyer do that. It wvas alw-ays hipee or 'trans- formation'." Louis Fedter, another NewxYork igaesays lis Volume in the 1,ast six mionths doubled sales of a year earlier, but the proportion of #problem" busineýss bas stayed the samue. "Wýith ahl the publicity, more wonmen wb-o have a prob- lem are de-ciding it's respectable to wear wigs," Feder said. WVig prices range fromn $2.95 to $750; the cheaper mrodels (whiich cost uLp to about $75) are made of synthetic fibers, mohair, and yak fur. Makers of "highl-fash- ion" wiý,s say that eacb, takes one wvorker about a weeký to turin out, hand-knotting upr to 300,000 hummnhairs in an iidci- viullfi(tted m esh ' cap. The best hair foc ig is importcd fromitaly, where womein in-ex- plicabJl-)y achieve the desired h-a ir colors andl texture. Few expen- siv7e wigs are dlyed; insýtead, makers blend stans of natural colors. Th e resuts are spreading from haunts of thie haute couture crowd to n-eigÏhboýrhood salonIs aind suburban departmlent strýres. "It's a great convenience," saidl pleischer's Mle."You jut dIrop) the wig off to be ceaneý and set, and go sho)ppinIg.

Folks Stay Away Just Like In Ontario To hear granite-ribbed New Englanders t, e 1Il it, the town mleeting renmainsý as staunch a:; Yankee frugalty, as sacred as1 the flag on the Fourth of JuIy. Sacred it may be, among localî historians and starry-ýeyed artîsts like Norman Rock well, but staunch it .no longer is - at least in the state of Maine, "Town meetings are poorly at- tended, manipulated by mîr.or- itie.s, unrepresentative of the communlity, and cumbersome to the point of rendering town gov- ernment unresponsive,"- reports a Bowdoin College study releas- ed recently. Analyzing the town- manager system, the Maine eol- lege's, bureau for research in municipal government s a y s : "The farcical nature of the town meeting is accentuated in the towns w;%ith over 5,000 popula- tion. A samnpling of their town- meietingý attendance for the past five years revealecI that only uone attracted as miany as 15 per cent of the potential voters-. Theý rest had to be conten t w ithJ much less." Modemn complexiîties in, local government, of course, have forced many' a M(aine commun- it(y-- even thougb annual town mneetings are stili convened - to switch important decisions ta either elected officiais- or ap- pointed towýn managers. This evolution is inevitable. Býut the likes of Daniel Webster would no doubt grieve at wb-at time bas wrought.
