You look at a guy like Tom Selleck, Clark Gable, Wayne Newton, Omar Sharif and the others, usually dark haired men, who wear a mustache and they are very popular with the ladies. In fact, to tell the truth, the mustache is part of the mystique that really turns a woman on. To me, a dark mustache is quite attractive on a goodlooking guy and it helps his appearance even if he is not so goodlooking. A light colored mustache, including red ones, are a bit bizarre? They-tendj- o look kind of humorous and the aura of the "man with the light mustache is not the same as that of the fellow with the dark one. Other ladies might feel dif-ferently, but that is just my preference. A full face beard was popular in the 1800's and has enjoyed quite a comeback in the past few years. Musicians seemed to be among the first with full beards, along with artists. Now every Tom, Dick and Jerry has decided to wear one, at least for a while. I think it all stems from a desire to look different. To enjoy a new appearance for a while. We ladies can tint our hair, dye our hair, and cut our hair. We can use new colors and kinds of makeup. A guy can grow a mustache or grow a beard, he can cut his hair in different styles and tint his hair, too, but he is not apt to. He is more he got a real kiov .

A fellow I know rather well is growing a beard. The chin whiskers are grey, actually white, and the rest is darkish, kind of salt and pepper. He is growing the beard for two reasons. He has been on vacation for nearly two weeks and who wants to have to shave when they are on vacation?.So that is one reason. The other is because he wants to see how he looks with a beard. The first reason is the one that was the deciding factor. He used to always say that he hoped he turned grey before he went bald so that he could see how he'd look with grey hair. Now, the balding process has slowed and he'll probably get that wish. At least, his beard is certainly grey in spots. Though women may find mustaches charming and rather romantic, a beard does not usually conjure up the same emotions. A beard is for pirates and Abraham Lincolns who maybe did not have to kiss their wives on a regular basis. Beards are kind of sexy, but a mustache is more so. Beards are pricklier and feel kind of like a porcupine must feel when quills are ready. A beard does get softer as it gets longer. That helps. Beards are a good disguise and oftimes one feels that a bearded man is just a bit suspicious and may be trying to hide something. When I was young we called a mustache a cookie duster. I've heard them called, "The caterpillar under your nose" and a few other tilings as well. My brother sometimes wears the muttonchop-typ- e whiskers. It makes his face look fat, but that is about all it does. Whiskers were not meant for those who like to hug and kiss, but they do add some charm in a vague way. One of my girlfriends in junior high school had a crush on an "older" guy. (He was old enough to really have to shave.) And one day she came to school with what looked like a rash on her face. Our inquiries as to its origin revealed that it was a "whisker burn." She slyly indicated to us goggle-eye- d friends that "he" had given it to her the previous night. We were so envious. It turned out later that she had rubbed her skin with a hairbrush to make the "whisker burn" which made us all jealous. Later, when she did get to be good friends with this guy she told him the story and s Police deserve praise in Lafferty case Local and state law enforcement officials deserve praise for their handling of the recent Lafferty murder case in American Fork. Since the discovery of the heinous crime, law en-forcement officials have worked around the clock to apprehend the suspects. They have dealt openly, with the public, within the framework allowed to insure the accused individuals a fair trial. Information has been released regulary and openly. And officers have acted quickly in following up leads. Appropriate steps were taken immediately to protect others who might have been in danger, and throughout the American Fork Police Department, playing in the big leagues, carried out its duties with professionalism. Tuesday's apprehension of Dan and Ron Lafferty was the climax of a monumental effort of teamwork among the different departments following the case. Local residents are breathing easier with the news that the Laffertys have been caught. They should be greatful for the law enforcement officials who worked tirelessly to bring that about. City acquires new ambulance AMBULANCE ! ! KVU fr rJr " ' h!' L Ja C- irri - r" lll i. a y f By MARCELLA WALKER We hope you don't but if you do have to go to the hospital in the Pleasant Grove Ambulance in the near future you'll get to ride in the brand, spanking new ambulance which the city has just acquired. Members of the Pleasant Grove Ambulance Association drove the new vehicle into town over the weekend after picking it up in McAllister, Oklahoma where the ambulance is built. Dave Vickers, president of the Association, along with Robert Williams, Jim Walker and Terry Sorenson made the trip to Oklahoma and drove the ambulance home. Vickers said that the Association was able to get a good price on the ambulance by going directly to the factory to get it and by driving it back rather than paying transportation costs. The Ambulance is made by the CRS Corp., a private company which makes the ambulances. The Association avoided the extra costs of a salesman by going directly to the company for the vehicle. The modular type ambulance is built on a Ford chassis. Some of the special features of the new ambulance include in the rear where the patients are, a dual electrical system so that all the accessories can be used as necessary, and it has more room than the old ambulance. The Association plans to add many features of their own to make the ambulance one of the best equipped in the area. The ambulance has dual wheels in the rear which provides for more stability. It also has a larger 460 engine to provide the best power. The old ambulance is 10 years old and is now no longer reliable. The modular unit is pretty well used and coming apart, Pres. Vickers stated. He further stated that the ambulances are used hard and the runs they go on wear them a great deal. He said that repairs to the old ambulance would have been nearly as high as getting a new unit. They purchased just a basic model and the Ambulance Association will do all the work to fix it up themselves. Cost of the new ambulance was about $27,000. They will keep the van type ambulance which they now have and use it for canyon work and as a back up to the new ambulance because of its maneuverability and speed. Both ambulances are designed to hold four patients each. The old modular ambulance will be sold. Pres. Vickers said that the city is really getting what they paid for. It may not be the fanciest in the county but it is very serviceable and has what the Association needs, Vickers noted. --Iha.oew ambulance will be put into service as soon as the Radios and other equipment can "be installed. The Association also recently obtained extrication jaws to help rescue people who are pinned in their vehicles. Pres. Vickers said that now they are pretty well set up for everything that they would come across.
