jyvtt jrrcs county inspectors evaluate acton high the acton frt pre wadneaday april 9 9o9 youth fresh tracks by barbara mclhfosh thii weekend the family wllneued another traumatic experience in the life of my kid brother i give him hit monthly hairtrim at present he belongs to an antibarber cull and ive been appointed his personal hip hairdresser its not that he has any great faith in my barbering talents in fact before every snip i have to pledge a comparable chunk of my own locks if i make a noticeable mistake on his however he knows that the occasional trim is inevitable if he wants to live peacefully at home and i suppose he feels im the lesser calculated risk the preoperative procedure is always a matter of subtle psychological persuasion by the time i arrived on the
