It is the intent of this program to teach the funda- mental basics of finance, how to get out of debt, how to deal with compromises, how to make wise investments and many other skills that are helpful in becoming a successful person, marriage part- ner, parent and financial steward. The financial freedom program begins Friday night, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. and runs for 16 consecutive Friday evenings. ~~ There is no charge for this pro- gram, all are invited.

What are the causes of baldness, and are there any cures available? Hair loss has many different causes. Heredity is the most.common reason for hair loss that develops fairly gradually. Hair can also fall out and not grow back for a variety of medical reasons. And, although we often think of the scalp as the only place affected by hair loss, any place on the body is susceptible. Whatever its cause, the loss of hair, especially sudden loss, can be traumatic. - The Greek word alopecia (al-oh-pea'-sha) is used by doctors to describe hair loss or baldness. One condition that causes temporary hair loss is the result of inflam- matory fungal disease. Ringworm, for example, causes the hair follicles to lose their ability to grow hair. Anti- fungal medications are used to treat fungal infections, and the alpecia is usually cured within a few weeks. Alopecia areata refers to localized hair loss in par- ticular areas of the scalp. These areas generally are the size of a nickle or quarter. The causes of the condition arc not known, but doctors suspect that the immune system develops an allergic reaction to a part of its own body--in this case, hair-resulting in the loss of patches of hair. Alopecia arcata can affect the eyebrows and eyelashes as well as the scalp. Although there is no cure for alopecia areata, this type of baldness is temporary in 99 percent of all cases. Some doctors believe that stress contributes to alopecia, but others maintain that the disease is so traumatic that it induces stress, which can result in further hair loss. In the case of hereditary hair loss, which is the most common reason for baldness, men are more likely to develop the condition than women. Although women also can exhibit hereditary hair loss, they usually will experience hair thinning rather than complete hair loss. Hair that is constantly exposed to chemcials (through perming or coloring) or overzealous combing is more likely to break off or fall out than "virgin" hair. A deficient thyroid, blood thinning medication, chemo- therapy, or crash dieting also can cause hair loss. There are treatments available for baldness and thin- ning hair. A drug called minoxidil has been approved for use in a liquid topical form. Originally used in pill form to treat high blood pressure, it was discovered that one of the medication's side effects was excessive hair growth. The topical form of minoxidil must be used early in hereditary baldness to be successful. In the early stages of baldness, hair follicles are still present as they must be for hair growth. Once treatment with minoxidil is stopped, the new hair falls out, including hair that would have fallen out had the drug not been used. Although minoxidil is not known to have any side effects when used as a topical solution, the drug will not be available in this country as a treatment for baldness until it receives FDA approval. The surgical correction of baldness, which is done through hair implantation, has become a popular method of treatment for many ‘years. Performed in a doctor's office, transplants involve transferring the skin that contains hair follicles from an area of dense hair growth near the balding spots to the bald areas. Twenty to 30 plugs of hair can be transplanted in one visit; correcting a bald condition generally requires four to five visits. Transplants, which work well in the early to moderate stages of baldness, remain permanently in place.
