DAYS GONE BYE...BY TOM BOGGS
The Good O!' Hair Cut Place
Except at the very beginning, I've
always looked forward to sitting in a
barber chair for a haircut. Daddy
and Ma told me that they had to get
Mr. McClinton to slip over to the
house one time. and try to cut my
hair while I was asleep in the play
pen. but I woke up, and spoiled that
idea.
I then fast forward to walking
down dirt streets to town, flipping
my all time favorite coin. a Walking
Liberty Half Dollar, which I would
need to pay Mr. McClinton after I
got that haircut. Yep, just as my old
friend, Pete BarNey, quizzed me
one time about ten years ago, I for
sure remember the color of the
board Mr. McClinton used to boost
up us small fry was green, and I rec-
ollect what a great day it was when
he decided I was tall enough to sit in
the chair without that board. A rite
of passage, but not quite the rite of
passage later on when Lee Burge,
down there at Chandler Barber
Shop, decided it was time to shave
my neck after the haircut, although
there was really nothing to shave.
Mr. McClinton's shop was high
up some steps next to Mr. J.T.
Brown's grocery store when I first
remember it, although he later
moved to the corner next door.
Either place, I can remember some
tall tales told by the older fellows
sitting around the shop, some of
them there for haircuts or 'shaves,
and some of 'era just there for the
talking. I do recollect that some of
that talking was not really for the
ears of us youngsters, but we hung
on to the words anyhow. There is
one particular story I'd love to be
able to relate...but this is a family
newspaper. Never Will forget one
time Lee Kirkham was in the shop,
and fellows were talking qout how
strong he was. Lee kinda bowed up
his arms, grinning a little bit, and
replied, "When I was in school, I
was the strongest boy in school.
When I got outer school, I was the
strongest boy outer school." I think
he was probably right, too.
When I got to be a bit older, I
walked in Chandler's Barber Shop
all primed to wait my turn for the
crew cut king, Lee Burge, Good
thing about Chandler's was you got
to see the ladies come through
strolling back to Chander's Beauty
Parlor while you waited. I've
always had a thick head of hair, and
I might mention that again, but I had
no problem with it standing up after
that first crew cut, and that's the
haircut I wore for many a year after-
ward.
Then in the sixties I moved.up to
Demopolis, and there was I.B.
Rowser cutting hair in the
Demopolis Inn Shop. He'd started
there as a shoeshine boy. Seems
like every time he worked on my
hair he'd say, "Judge," and ! don't
know how come he called me judge,
but "Judge, you ain't never got to
worry about going bald. You got a
head of hair." Well, J.B.s been gone
a spell...and I still got a head of
hair, I'm glad to say. His wife,
Loletha, is still cutting hair...and
still charging five bucks to do it.
ALABAMA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION NEWS
Coyotes: Port 2
Kathryn Friday
Marengo County Extension
The first coyotes were
brought into Alabama for sport
hunting. I sometimes wonder
what people are thinking who
bring exotic species into an
area. Feral pigs were also first
brought in by hunters and look
at the problems they now pres-
ent.
There is currently no bag
limit or closed season for har-
vesting coyotes in Alabama.
and many people enjoy hunting
them. For specific regulations
on trapping and hunting, go to
www.dcnr.state.al/us. This is
the Department of
Conservation and Natural
Resources web site.
IN areas where coyotes and
people live together, people
have concerns about coyote
populations for different rea-
sons. Hunters are often con-
cerned that coyotes will
decrease populations of game
animals such as white-tailed
dr, wild turkeys, and quail.
While coyotes prey opportunis-
tically on turkeys and quail, the
incidence of these species in
their diet is low to nonexistent.
Although deer hair is frequently
found in coyote scats, many
incidences are the result of
scavenging rather than preda-
tion. In some areas there is evi-
dence that predation on fawns
may be reducing recruitment
(successfully raising offspring)
of white-tailed deer.
Predation on livestock is a
well-documented phenomenon.
Discouraging predation of live-
stock is possible but can be
challenging at times.
Approaches that have been
shown to work include proper
disposal of livestock carcasses,
use of exclusion fences (electric
or woven wire with small
mesh), locating livestock closer
to, humans (especially at night),
use of guard animals (dogs,
donkeys, llamas), and of course
the removal of predators.
Unfortunately, control of
predators by intense and sus-
tained removal of coyotes has
been shown to increase the
average litter size per female.
Removal of coyotes by trapping
and shooting can reduce local
populations, but it must be per-
formed on a continual basis to
reap benefits. Coyotes are
extremely wary, but they can be
trapped. Leghold traps seem to
work best. Snare sets, where
legal, can also be used with
some success. Strategies used
to manage damage to livestock
can also be used to reduce dam-
age to melons and other crops.
Coyotes may prey oppor-
tunistically on cats, small dogs,
and occasionally on large dogs.
To reduce the oppoitumty for
conflict between pets and
wildlife, pet owners should
keep cats and small dogs inside

I then discovered another crew
cut king in Ben Garner. and
although he doesn't like to cut
young folks' hair much any more, he
still has customers out there at
Ben's, and he's still my mighty good
buddy, although some years ago. he
ordered me some clippers and scis-
sors, taught my wife how to cut my
hair, and she'd been doing that for a
good long while now. I still like to
drop by there for a visit. Another
interesting fact: Ben's got a Cracker
Jack good barber in there part time
in Jimmy Bedwell. and Jimmy used
to cut my hair when I was in school
over yonder at Livingston in the
fifties. He also knew how to train
up a crew cut.
Great memories of haircuts, and
I'm pretty dang sure 1 can even
remember when I woke up and
started up some yelling the time Mr.
McClinton tried to sneak up on my
head while I was safe and sound in
that play pen many and many a year
ago.
