2A The Easley Progress Friday, May 14, 2010 The Historical Trail Hair is a plastic By John McCravy Originally published June 4, 1975 Many will ask why we settled on a subject like hair to write on for this week’s Trail. Well, this could be one of the oldest subjects to discuss as we know that hair grows on most parts of the body of mammals as well as other forms of life. Hair is considered a plastic as it is pliable and non-metallic. It grows from the roots outwards, and will live from two to four years. When a grave is opened with the remains of a person, one is apt to find little of the body in the grave as it has returned to dust or clay. But hair will be found as it is the last part to decay. Several years ago when the excavation of Old Fort Prince George took place, several Indian bodies were located, and the unusual part of it was the headdress was still intact. It was also noticed that on top of some of them and beneath their remains was black hair. This was due to the way that the Indian bodies were buried. A custom of the Indians was to place a body on a bear skin or a buffalo skin and cover it with another hide before burial. The skin part would disintegrate, but the hair would remain. This was one reason for the hair being in the grave. There are many uses in industry for hair. It is used in mortar and plaster and sometimes insulation. Hair was once used extensively in building furniture as filler for upholstery, but today other plastics like sponge rubber and polyester have taken its place. Beautifully groomed hair can do wonders for a person’s looks. Much emphasis is placed on the neatness of one’s hair. Beauty parlors and hair stylist for both men and women specialize in the care of hair, as hair has much to do with a person’s attractiveness. As I write I must mention that wool growing is still a major industry in many countries today. Wool is cut from the sheep, alpacas, angoras and other animals, and is carted into batts which are spun into threat. All fibers are not always the same size. The very fine fibers are separated Jeremiah Francisco Aleman Charged Forgery Anthony Florio Jr. Charged Lewd Act Upon a Child Under 16 Assault & Battery of a High & Aggravated Nature See TRAIL, Page 3A Chronicles Pickens County Sheriff ’s Office Gary Dean Lebaugh Charged Criminal Domestic Violence Christian Elaine Blankenship Lesley Charged Unlawful Neglect of Child Disregarding Stop Sign Driving Under Suspension PICKENS COUNTY CRIMeSTOPPERS 898-KOPS All content provided is public information.

Dish - 2 x 7.75 (3.6” x 7.75”) SCHOOLS Continued from Page 1A tion to Pickens High School If the proposed attendance zone changes are adopted, Gettys Middle School’s enrollment would fall to 1099. Dacusville Middle School’s new enrollment would be 553, close to the same size as Liberty Middle School. As part of the district’s building plan, the current Easley High School will be remodeled to become the new Gettys Middle School. Plans for Dacusville Middle School include adding a secure front entrance, replacing the carpet in the cafeteria with tile, and upgrading the science classrooms to comply with codes. The district also has the option of increasing the school’s capacity by adding classrooms and a computer lab. “Ensuring that there is an appropriate population in each middle school is essential,” Hunt wrote in his letter to parents. “Enrollment numbers should support and enhance the learning environment for all students. A school that is too small or too large isn’t always efficient and effective in meeting all students’ needs — academic, from the course by a draw machine. The fine are woven into baby blankets and fine worsted cloth while the courser wool is used in the upholstery and course cloth. The Bible mentions hair and its use several times. Books have been written about hair, and even history has been altered by the use of wigs, beards and mustaches. History records many types of hairdressing which were used during different periods. During the Stone Age, people allowed their head hair to roll down their back and over their shoulders. In early Egypt, the hair was plaited in small plaits and tied together in bundles.
