Drafty house is expensive

Ruth Crawford’s Beauty Salon
opened in the Fernbrook Plaza in
Dallas a little over a year ago and if
you are among her clientele, you’ve
probably come to consider Ruth and
her workers as friends.
Ruth Crawford has been cutting
hair since she was 18 and as she
says, ‘“That’s all I know.” For a
long time, Ruth operated her beauty
salon out of a home and finally
moved to her present location last
September. Ruth moved because

she felt that people tend to shy
away. from a home salon.
Ruth says she services her cus-
tomers with individualized and per-
sonalized attention. Ruth and her
staff of two part-time workers enjoy
talking with the customers and get-
ting to know them. This way, Ruth
says, her customers can not only
look forward to getting their hair
done, but they can feel they are also
coming to the salon to talk with
friends.
Since Ruth’s salon opened in the
Fernbrook Plaza, her clientele has
expanded considerably and she
enjoys the added walk-in customers
as well as her usual clientele. Ruth
said sometimes she gets customers
that are just walking by the shop,
see a picture in the window of how
they would like their hair to look,
walk in and ask Ruth and her staff
to do their hair that way.
“That’s the fun part of it,” Ruth
said, when people come in her shop
and say, ‘‘do something different
with me.”
Besides hair styling, Ruth Craw-
ford’s Beauty Salon does color anal-
ysis, make up, eyebrows, manicures
and more. The staff teaches their
customers how to blow dry and
style their hair at home. They tell
their customers what to do to take
care of their hair.
Ruth said, “The better they look,
the better we look.” When a cus-
tomer wants something outrageous,
they have a consultation to make
sure the customer doesn’t go home
am a cut they can’t do anything
with.
The salon is open Tuesday
through Saturday and is fully
staffed on Thursdays. They are easy
to find as you are driving up the
Luzerne-Dallas Highway. Just after
the overhead road there is a large
sign for the Fernbrook Plaza. The
beauty salon is on the right.
A drafty house in winter is more
than just uncomfortable; it’s expen-
sive. Cold air coming in means hot
air going out. These are heat leaks,
and plugging them can save you as
much as 25 percent of your heating
bill.
Many of these common leaks in
your house or apartment can be
identified without using fancy or
sophisticated equipment. Wait for a
cold day, close all the windows and
doors, and make an inspection of
your premises. Take a wet sponge
with .you to dampen the palm of
your hand on; the moisture will help
you feel drafts.
Here, according to the November
Reader’s Digest, are some of the
key places to check for possible
heat leaks. To plug them, you’ll
need caulk, foam weatherstripping,
foil-faced and unfaced insulation,
duct tape, foam gaskets and tension
weatherstripping. Not only will you
spend a more comfortable winter if
you stop the drafts, you’ll save as
much as 25 percent of your heating
bill.

the kitchen and Yascavage moved
publication to his garage.
He does all the editing, typing,
layout, reporting, paste-up and ad
sales. His wife does the proof-read-
ing and the bookwork, ‘‘something I
never did before’, said Dolores
Yascavage. His son, Al, Jr., and
daughter-in-law, Ruth, help justify
the copy by using their computer.
Yascavage divides each month
into weeks-one selling advertising,
one week editing copy, one week
doing layout and paste-up and one
week, distributing the paper. He
sells subscriptions to the paper but
to date has only about 200 paid
subscribers. ia
Yascavage finds lots of people
read it but he is disappointed
because he does not receive much
support from doctors, a professional
group whom he thought would be
very supportive of the project. He is
now in the process of selling busi-
ness card sized ads for a ‘Health
Professionals Page’ which he
believes should be of help to the
senior citizens.
‘Advertising sales is a difficult
field,” he said. “It takes a lot of
time, more time that I can afford to
spend in addition to the other areas.
me at my home,” said Al.
Realizing that the senior citizens
do not see as well as they used to,
Yascavage uses large, bold type to
make his paper easier to read. He
does not try to publish a sophisti-
cated paper but a neat, informative
paper - one that is interesting and
helpful to the readers.

He also welcomes feature stories
submitted by people, - success sto-
ries of their lives or of someone
they know. Yascavage also wel-
comes suggestions and constructive
criticism which would make the
Senior Citizen News a better paper.
Yascavage normally starts his
daily work on the 20 to 24 page
paper, about 8 a.m. He stops to eat
lunch, resumes his work, then takes
time out for dinner. After the
nightly news, he returns to his
project and works late into the
night.
“The day or two before we go to
press, my wife and I usually work
around the clock. We have so much
to do, we lose track of. time,” said
Yascavage.
The paper is in its 10th month and
Yascavage is optimistic about its
future. He wants it to grow bigger
and better as he sees the need for it
increasing each month.

Josh Bryant took over his parent’s
bike store in Kingston in 1974 where
he once worked in the 1940’s. Today,
Josh Bryant is known as the Bike
King.
Bryant’s has been doing business
long enough that just hearing the
name symbolizes proven quality
and service. :
Bryant’s Bike Shop is located
across from Kingston Dodge on
Wyoming Avenue and sells only
Schwinn brand bicycles. As Bryant
said, the Schwinn name has long
been associated with high quality
bicycles.
Bryant’s sells bicycles for the
whole family-from the popular BMX
kids, to a wide range of adult
bicycles, for the pleasure rider and
the competitive biker.
Bryant’s also stocks a large selec-
tion of parts and accessories and

does repairs on most makes of all
bicycles.
For the person who wants to ride
but doesn’t want to go out, Bryant’s
also sells a line of exercise bicycles.
One extra feature of buying a
Schwinn at Bryant’s is that they
tack on an extra 60 days onto
Schwinn’s 30 day check-up period.
Every Schwinn also comes with a
limited warranty.
- Bryant’s is open Monday and
Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.,
Tuesday, 10 to 6, Wednesday and
Friday, 10 to 5 and Saturday, 10 to
