Complaint against conditions in certain rural schools is mate in a striking memorandum issued by the National Union of Teachers.

Detailed reports concerning 66 rural, schools are given in support of the claim that a "new deal" is wanted in the education of village children.

In the midst of a highly to technical paper entitled, "New ideas from X-ray analysis on the molecular structure properties of the proteins," the professor, who (10.74 metres) and DJM (51.45 melon), is attached to the Textile Physics Laboratory ai Leeds University, said:

"Hair in water will stretch to half again. Its, original length, Afterwords it returns to normal.

"That is what happens when women have their hair curled and set or permanently waved— their hair siretches. This a molecular breakdown in the linkage of the hair.

"It is the most wonderfully elastic substance in nature. In- deed, it is possible to stretch hair to duble is original length.”

Later Professor Astbury explain- Jed:

"There is no doubt that say kind of permanent Waving or steam setting is harmful to the hair. But that harm is not serious unless the hair-setting process is overdone.

"If too much steam or alkaline lagents are applied the hair will lose its gloss. It will become |dry-looking and fuzzy.

"This is not only due to the molecular breakdown in the hair.- The scales on the surface of the hair are also injured, These scales net as a kind of protective macintosh."

Bul Professor Astbury is not pessimistic about the future effects of modern treatment of women's hair,

"I can understand that it is worth while testheically to women to have their hair done," he said, "The danger is when Improper treatment is given."

Wives are slightly in the majority in this new "ramp". Many women prefer getting out-of-court damages enticement rather than auing for divorce.

In the view of many solicitors a change of the law is needed to de- feat this new weapon in the flack- mailing armoury.
