Castlegar Legion's Ladies Auxiliary held its potluck banquet Saturday, Dec. 13 During the evening, a cheque tor $3,000 was presented to Branch No 170. About 40 people attended the banquet COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY Beauty goes high-tech TORONTO (CP) — Com. puter technology is almost everywhere these days, so it was probably inevitable that the beauty business would find uses for it. There is debate, however, about the role the high-tech world of computers should play in the high-touch world of skin and hair care. Hairstylist Paul King said he believes computers are useful for storing information on clients such as chemicals used to color their hair. But he added he was skeptical about computers prescribing cuts or treatments. “Computers can only take you so far,” he said. “You're getting ideal facts about how hair should be. Unfortunate ly, no one’s head is the ideal. “And only a stylist can take into account someone's personality, and that comes Doug, Patti, Kim & Kelly Richards Mr. & Mrs. Paul Somsonott George & Betty Clarke Mary & Alex Glebott Alice & Terry Sontord Seamen & Laura Dewis Mrs. Mary & Mary Nichvalodott out through conversation.” Larry Crane, sales man ager for Goldwell Cosmetics Canada Ltd., says computer technology is meant to en hance, not replace human ex pertise Goldwell, which supplies hair-care products, also sells a computer program to help hairdressers determine how to color a customer's hair. SELECTS COLOR First, a customer selects a desired color from 71 hair swatches. The choice, along with information about hair condition and current color, is put into the system. Choosing from 160,000 for. mulas, the computer recom mends one to produce the desired color. The method is not fool proof, but {t just makes sure the colorist is on the right road,” Crane said os Husband-and-wife team Georges Powers and Dyan Morin of St-Georges, Que., spent nearly six years devel- oping computer software pro- grams for their company, Les Logiciels Visages. Their top program is Karl, which recommends haircuts based on an individual's facial measurements and about 30 other pieces of information, Econo Spots You can save up to 80% on the cost of this ad! 365-5210 such as eye and skin color and style — fashionable, classic or sporty. Powers says Karl makes visiting the hairdresser more personal. “The stylist has to spend more time with the customer asking her ques tions before doing the hair. cut, rather than just sitting her down and doing the cut.” PUSHES COMPUTER Karen McPherson, spokes- man for Elizabeth Arden of Canada Ltd., said her com pany is promoting a com puter that analyses skin. “Women have always been very interested in finding out about their skin,” she said. “A lot of women tend to think they are getting more ac curate, scientific information (with the computer).” Shiseido Co. Ltd., a 114 year. oe Japanese cosmetics » has also com X ‘ puterized some of its ser- vices. “We could have made a machine to do everything, but Shiseido won't do that,” says Anna Mahshy, national training director of Shiseido's Canadian branch. “Custom. ers still want-to talk to some. one.” Shiseido analyses skin with its Replica system in which a clay-like material is applied to the cheek. When removed, the clay imprint is viewed under a microscope, on a television screen and in a photo the customer can keep. The company also has a makeup simulator which can change hairstyles and even add accessories such as ear rings. When the customer is satisfied with the result, the screen image can be turned out as a Polaroid color pic. ture.

Annual reports misleadi By TONY VAN ALPHEN Charlie's got a hot tip on shares of Mint Mining. “You can't lose,” he confides. Trouble is, you've never heard of Mint Mining. But with a little detective work, you can find out if that stock Charlie is recommending is a dog. The place to start is with a bright, glossy document — the company's annual report. Chartered accountants warn tWat annual reports don't always give a complete picture. In fact, they say some companies go out of their way to present charts on encouraging sales figures rather than on that nagging debt. But with close study, annual reports can yield valuable information. The annual report contains audited financial 's pansion plans, general pany inf as well as it and production changes that provide clues to the firm's future. AUDITOR HELPS Your first inclination may be to jump directly to the figures on the balance sheet. But before doing that, read the auditor’s comments and notes.

Crow, who speaks three languages fluently — English, French and Spanish, and retains a facility for Russian which he studied while with the Royal Air Force — began his career with the International Monetary Fund. But he stressed at his news conference that while the face of the country’s top banker may be different, the bank's policies, for the time being at least, will remain unchanged. MADE POLICY bank policy. “We shall continue on with the direction established by Mr. Bouey,” he said. “I do not say that nothing will change in the future. However, you cannot count on a major change or big changes as of Feb. 1.” The 49-year-old Crow, despite having been with the bank since 1973, is personally not well known in Canadian banking circles.
