Following brief discussion with Mr. Best, the committee again went "in cameia" to discuss a matter related to Barber Shops in Bowmanville, the basis of which was aso not explained to the ress. It appears probable, )n the basis of recent rumor , that the matter concerns those classifying themselves as Hair Stylist Shops, staying open longer hours than regular barber shops. This is a situation that has arisen in many communities and generally bas been vion by the stylist shops. The argument in their favor is the length of time required to style one person's hair, requiring extra houes to complete the work and fit the schedule of their custorrers so that they haye the neede J time to get the job done righi. If that is the concern which the committee was dealing with then it is probable as in other communities, that court action would rule in fa yor of the stylist shops.
