Dr, John Gillespie, who treats about 200 men a year suffering from baldness — which afflicts two-thirds of white North American males — said in an interview trans plants product a relatively normal look. “There'll be slight clump- ing, areas where it's thicker than others, but if it’s well- groomed it looks normal.” About a third of Gillespie's practice consists of hair- transplant patients referred to him by general practi tioners, plastic surgeons and dermatologists. The process, in which clumps of scalp and hair are transferred from the still bushy back fringe to the bald areas, is usually painless. The men flock for facials HAMILTON (CP) It takes a special kind of man to walk into a place called Woman Beautiful. But it’s no big deal to Lorne Thompson, a Toronto businessman wh, ys get: ting a facial isn’ uch dif- ferent than a man sitting around a beauty salon with rollers in his hair getting a permanent “I'd be more included to have a facial than a per manent, and there are a lot of men doing that,” said Thomp- son, who had his first facial last week at the Hamilton clinic. Thompson, 38, is one of a growing number of men who realize that taking care of oneself goes beyond exercise and nutrition to skin care and image awareness. He and his wife both had their styling “colors” done about a month ago and learn- ed that they were both “win- ters” — able to wear a range of dramatic primary colors as well as black and white. “I thought I'd be a fall,” he said. “I like the browns and rusts and golds of fall.” “But I'm a pure winter, with no percentage of any other season.” Thompson said that as a businessman it's important not énly to be well-groomed and well-dressed but to proj ect a total look of success and self-confidence. LIKES FEELING He found the facial invig. orating and refreshing — “like going to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned and walking around with a big grin all day” — and would consider having them on a regular basis.

Make It Thompson said he might even be interested in a pro- fessional manicure and would also like to avail himself of a clinie’s personal shopping service, where clinic owner Linda Kirkby accompanies clients on shopping trips to help select suitable colors and styles. Kirkby said her male cli entele is a small part of her business, but it’s growing. “We've had a lot come in for their colors,” she said. “It teaches them how to project that certain image.” She said that European men are far more educated in such things as skin care. In North America “the male image is independent — you don't fuss and you don’t need someone to look after you. “But it’s coming — they're learning that when you feel better, you carry yourself better and that sometimes you need help from someone else to achieve that.” Kirkby, a nurse who also offers muscle massage ther- apy and counselling on ex ercise and diet, said men usually need skin treatments less frequently than women “Shaving every day stim ulates the circulation and sloughs off a certain number of dead cells which clog the pores,” she said. “Once a month would be adequate for a facial and we can show them how to take care of their skin at home in the meantime.” Special For Mom Wolo Save 30% On Fashion Pantyhose V3 oft ss pr.

(CP) — A person crippled with arthritis or someone confirmed to a wheelchair faces enormous difficulties when trying to get dressed. But a Kingston company, Comfort Clothing, is producing clothing and accessories catering specifically to the disabled — not only the severely disabled, but also those with minor disabilities who find dressing a chore. “What we're doing is selling independence,” said co-owner Elinor Rush, the firm's promotion and marketing manager. “We're making getting dressed as painless and easy as possible.” Her partner, Lorraine Heaney, the company's business manager, said their goal “is to provide easy-to- manage clothing for everyone. Our biggest customer group includes seniors and people with specialized clothing needs.” Barbara Chamberlain, who assists Rush in market- ing, said clothes designed to make dressing easier are of special appeal to nursing homes where much time is consumed in dressing patients. Strict attention is paid to designs and color combin- ations to avoid an institutional image. The company also does product testing on items made by other manufac- turers. Rush said the firm's products are aimed at two cate- gories of people: those who need to be dressed by someone else and those who have minor disabilities and need clothes that are easier to manage. Wide use is made of Velcro as a substitute for buttons. Zippers, which might normally be on the back of certain clothing, are placed on the front. Zippers on dresses are lengthened to 570 millimetres instead of the standard 460 millimetres. Sleeve holes are enlarged, making wide use of the raglan design. Both men’s and women's items are styled to fit looser in the hip and waist areas. Products range from dresses, trousers and shirts to underwear and bed clothes — even slippers. Rush said that when the company started, it was making only “the most obscure products” catering to the most severely disabled. “But we soon realized that the number of people suffering from arthritis was huge compared to, say, quadriplegics. Over half our products are for people who are essentially normal. Most would not class arthritis as a disability.” She said the cost of Comfort Ciothing products is “slightly less for slightly better quality” compared to conventional clothing. valley landscape nursery GENUINE Pu D Aik 3 Seeds No. 1 APPLE & CHERRY TREES Rep. $11.99 $ Incl. 2-yr.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK| CASTLEGAR WINLAW 365-2262 226-7270 For Steve Wozniak, a legendary figure in the world of personal computers, becoming rich and famous has had nothing to do with wanting to be a businessman. In fact, the bearded 33-year-old Californian says, “I never had a business incentive in my life.” But the Woa, as he is often called, co-founded with Steve Jobs one of North America’s most stunning) business success stories: Apple Computer Inc., which last year racked up $1 billion in sales. “Basically,’ my relationship with money is not normal,” Wozniak said in an interview during a visit to} Toronto. “I don't have an accountant. All I own is Apple stock, and believe it or not, I don't follow the stock price.” Wozniak's 3.4 million Apple shares would be worth about $100 million at recent share prices. Not bad for someone who nine years ago thought an apple was just something you eat. In 1975, Wozniak was a member of a small club of i At their he would show off his latest designs. The self-taught electronics buff! had been designing computers since Grade 6 and presenting them at science fairs. Wozniak says it was the inner logic of computers that fascinated him, not what the machines could do in any useful sense. In fact, he figured he'd probably end up designing TVs or radios for a living — “things that work” — since computer technology appeared to have little practical use. START BUSINESS Jobs came up with the idea of starting a business to sell printed circuit boards (an integral part of a computer) to club members. Maybe they could sell 50 or so at $40 each. Wozniak was afraid they'd lose money in the ven- ture, but he remembers Jobs persuading him with the line: “Maybe we'll lose all our money, but at least we'll have ‘a company for once in our lives.” Soon they were selling fully assembled computers and the demand began to sky-rocket. “Steve had more of a vision of what the computer meant to the outside world,” says Wozniak. “I had a vision of what it meant to my little technical community of hobbyists who didn’t mind bare wires on their living room floor. “The mix was excellent.” Apple quickly grew into a large structured company — “with tons of memos up and down” — and Wozniak’s style of working on individual projects no longer meshed with the new approach, where teams of engineers would tackle projects. “All of a sudden I wasn't really a needed key to Apple's future. I was just one of 50 engineers.” Feeling “a little burned out,” Wozniak took two years off from the company. The computer pioneer finished his last year at college to earn a bachelor’s in computer science. (During an earlier college stint, “I almost got kicked out for abusing the computers, for running programs I wasn't supposed to.”) RETURNED TO APPLE After staging a couple of money-losing rock festivals, We’re 600 Store Strong! And Here’s The Result .. . Don’t Wait Get Yours Now! 4 tt > a Hotpoint Programable Microwave Dualwave Oven Deluxe 2-Speed, 5-Cycle Hotpoint Laundry Pair Wozniak returned to Apple last year as a full-time engineer. “I deliberately selected the most anonymous division where I could get involved in a couple of nice engineering projects.” bs That meant staying away from the high-profile Lisa and Macintosh projects and working on the aging Apple IL. It also meant leaving management polities to chairman Jobs and the others running Apple. “People don't work for me,” Wozniak says. “I won't fight or argue: it's not worth the hassle. You can be friends with everyone and just have a lot more peace in your head.” Wozniak says business success has never been his main motivation. Solving the next technical puzzle — especially if the solution is clever enough to surprise his peers — is what gives him the most delight. He denies being anything more than a “real good, but normal designer,” and says he is definitely not the incredibly brilliant wizard able “to rattle off the quickest computer design in the world,” as legend has it. His biggest problem at Apple now is not a technical one. It's dealing with outside requests on his time, which are making him “not as effective as I should be.” But he’s working hard to change that, and says with satisfaction that he hasn't answered ‘his phone in three weeks.
