Celebrate 25th anniversary Frank and BeUty Stapleton of Newtonville werc a busy couple Saturday aftemoon and evening It was a command and 1 ceuld feel that jet-black object up against miy head. Now 1 know what it feels like to have a gun put up againstyour head - you capitulate. ' We did part friends and enjoyed the chuckles. 1 have yet te tell Ami and Liz that 1 have blocked eut on the calendar the last week of March and the first week of April, 1995 as a "no haircut period'. The two can whoop it up as mucb as t4ey like at the convenion. with the celebration of their' twenty-fifth wedcing anniversary in the Newcastle Community Hall. Only wanted a simple hair eut Every couple ef months or se it seems it is Urne for another hair cut and this, ef course, means a visit next door te the Hair Line. How cenvenient could a trirn be? I have te admit it is generally relaxing and entertaining event witb either Ann or Liz carrying on with chatty conversation. A week ago Tuesday the hair was peeking eut over my ears and having some available trne I did slip next door for a hair cu. I was greeted by Ann from ber chair whe was inspecting a jet- black ebony looking ebject. The object irnmediately went into the drawer and a conversation developed as te wby my visit. .Sbaking my head Ann said - "Yeu need a hair ctit!", She kind of rubbed ber hands together, smiled and offered me the chair. Out of the dresser came the jet-black ebject wbicb 1Iclarn is a new purchase - a pair of clippers. I aiso learn that these clippers are revlutienzing hair cutting. Altbougb they are jet-black ebeny looking tbey do bave somewhat long pretruding silver fingers at the front. " I bougbt these at the conven- tion", said an exuberant Ami. 1 could sece that she was excited about this purchase. "Have you used tbem yet?" "No you will be the first customer.Y "Do yeu bave any directions on how te use tbem?", The reply,"Loek ius easy". "Al 1Ihave te do is run itup theback of your neck, across the top of yeur hcad and then te run it te, the left er the right." The machine gets plug in and 1 would agree it bas te bc bigh- tech. The whine of the moter seunds sernething like those big puli-tractors we sec on TV at the big big pull events. 1 put my hand up te proteet my head. Lces talk about this".- 1"1 have bçen ceming in here fer years and'I relax in this chair with you at the centrels of a pair of scissors and a comb. I then go eut loeking 'a whole lot better than wben I came in. Let's just put the ebony back ini the drawer and get eut that old pair of scissors." One look at Ann witb mischief in her eyes 1 knew 1 was losing this debate. She came back with the point that she had paid $88.00 for the clippers at the convention te be able te keep up with the times. "You, my irst customer objects." 110K, 0K but do go easy." The whine of the moter is throttled back and everything is clipping along quite well. I den't see too much hair bitting the floor certainly ne more than when the scissers were used. 1 relax and arn about te start up the conversation again when the motor is stepped. Ann starts taking off those long silver fmngers on the front of the clippers and replacing them witb anether set. "What's this ail about", 1 asked. "I'm not cutting deep enougb". "I thougbt everything was going well! " 'il be here ail merning at ibis rate - 'there 'm ready te go' - 'sit back"'.
