(AP)-Sprayed hair doesn't have to look that way, says Patrik Moreton, a hair stylist. "I like to use an aerosol spray on hair, then run my fingers through the hair. This loosens the hair so that you have the body and the durability but not the set look," the stylist said.

"Like anything in excess, too much spray is bad," he added.

On National Historic Register Mr. and Mrs. Floyd L. Adams and Mr. and Mrs.

Duane S. Adams have received word the Simcock Apartments, now known as Riverside Apartments, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places March 11. This property was listed on the Register of Historic Kansas Places June 30, 1979. In revealing the listing, the present owners acknowledged with full credit the research and history provided to them by the previous owner, Mrs. Lee Marks, who still lives in the building.

Originally enacted in 1977, the State Preservation Law was amended in 1981 to widen the range of state or local goverment activities affecting historic properties that are subject to review by the State Historic Preservation Officer. Implementation of the Protective Measurers of. the Kansas Historic Preservation Law affect only those buildings, structures, sites, objects and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the Register of Historic Kansas Places. The program of registering these places recognizes that the importance of heritage conservation and preservation is not only what it means from the past but that the inspiration of past achievements is relevant to motivate achievements of the present and future. CRYTS EXPLAINS CAUSE HE IS FIGHTING FOR Little Rock (AP)--Wayne Cryts says the cause he is fighting for is bigger than some people think.

The 35-year-old Puxico, farmer is jailed in Arkansas for civil contempt of court. He has been in the Pope county jail at Russellville since April 28, when he refused to tell federal bankruptcy Judge Charles Baker of Little Rock who helped him take grain involved in a bankruptcy case. In a weekend interview, Cryts said he is fighting for more than just a farmer's right to reclaim grain from a bankrupt elevator. Said Cryts, "There are private property ownership rights they cannot take away from you without due process of law and the chance to go into the court." Cryts took 31,000 bushels of grain from an elevator at New Madrid. That was in February 1981 six months after owners of the James Brothers Elevators, based in Corning, began bankruptcy proceedings.

Cryts moved the grain to an elevator at Bernie, and the following July, he moved the beans again. Farmers who support Cryts say bankruptcy laws should be changed so that a farmer doesn't lose money when an elevator where he has stored grain goes bankrupt. And Cryts noted that farmers are not the only ones who suffer because of bankruptcy laws. MRS. ERNEST PHELPS TO HAVE SURGERY Mrs.

Thatcher Convenes War Cabinet, Report British Troops Prepared To Land 1 Mr. and Mrs.

Harry Nickoley SIGNS INTANGIBLES, EXCISE TAX BILLS Topeka (AP)-- A pair of bills repealing the statewide intangibles tax and allowing cities and counties to reimpose it as a local option excise tax were signed into law Friday by Governor John Carlin. The controversial intangibles tax was repealed in the waning hours of the 1982 Legislature. That came after the state Supreme Court ruled in March that cities, counties and townships could not vote to reduce or eliminate the tax on an individual basis. The bill signed Friday eliminates the three percent tax on interest and dividend income. However, the companion measure allows local governments to reimpose it as an excise tax.

Since 1977, 25 counties, 114 cities and 169 townships have voted to reduce or eliminate the tax. According to the bills signed Friday, local governments must decide by June 15, whether to reimpose the tax as a local earnings tax. In the cities, counties and townships where the tax is put back on, taxpayers will have until Aug. 1, to file the tax return with their county treasurer.

London (AP) British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher convened her emergency "war cabinet" today amid signs that Britain is prepared to land troops on the Argentine-occupied Falkland Islands. The British Foreign Office said London will do all it can to reach: a negotiated settlement in the crisis. But informed military sources said a ship with 2,500 British troops and paratroopers is only hours away from the Falklands. At the United Nations, Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar said today he sees reason for hope that Britain and Argentina will reach a peaceful solution. For a third day, he's holding separate talks with British and Argentine officials.

Supports Reagan Proposal Denmark (AP) Reagan got a word of support for his nuclear arms reduction proposal from an old foe today. Former President Jimmy Carter speaking in Denmark called the pitch for reductions in arsenals of nuclear missiles and warheads an excellent move. But Carter said he'd rather see the administration pursue the "SALT Two" arms pact with the Soviet Union. The Kremlin leveled a thinly veiled attack on the United States today at the opening session of an anti-nuclear war conference in 1 Moscow. Soviet Premier Nikolai Tikhonov never mentioned the U.S.

by name. But he said war hysteria is being whipped up by what he called proponents of the cold war. American evangelist Billy Graham will address the Soviet-sponsored church conference Tuesday. May Leave Cabinet Washington (AP) President Reagan may suffer his first cabinet defection.
