What does Byron do that causes his parents to make good on their promise to send him to live with his grandma in Alabama? What is the last straw?

Byron comes into the house wearing a hat one afternoon, and Kenny and Wilona sense that something is up. Wilona makes Byron take off the hat to reveal a handkerchief, and she makes him take that off, too, and is appalled to find that Byron has gone and gotten a hideous hairdo. He has indulged in some sort of chemical treatment to make his hair straight, stiff, slick, and reddish-brown. The phone call to Grandma Sands, who lives in Alabama is made soon after that. Hoped this helped!!!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
