WANDERING WARRIORS
WANT WOMEN TO WEAR
WOOL, WAX WORLDLY

CHICAGO, Dec. 26-P)-Women
to WOW your wandering warrior,
wear wool in the daytime and wax
worldly at night.
That's the advice af a depart
ment store survey conducted among
more than 1000 college men, most
of them returned veterans, on the
campuses of II universities. The
survey disclosed:
Young men still like sweater
girls. They chose sweaters for day.
time-particularly campus-by a
majority of IS per cent.
They want their girls to be sirens
at night, wearing black-low-necked
and streamlined-by a vote of al
most two to one. r.
Ninety-six per cent want to see
long evening dresses again, with
the choice divided between the
slinky type and the swirly variety.
Their favorite color is blue, with
red and black second and third,
respectively.
AS for high heels-by all means!

H0LATES CITIES
BY The Associated Press

| Telephone and telegraph serv-
ice in western North Carolina and
northwest South Carolina, seriously
disrupted by the Christmas ice and
sleet storm, remained impaired
yesterday but highway, train and
airplane traffic approached nor.
NAL as fair weather prevailed.
One death was ascribed directly
to the severe weather of the holi-
day season. The frozen body of
Hugh Lee DeGraff, 42-year-old
printing pressman of the Friend
ship Community in Guilford coun-
ty, was discovered near the
Greensboro High Point Airport
Christmas day. DeGraff was the
father of eight children.
Wire service from Charlotte to
Associated Press newspapers in at
least seven Carolina cities was
paralyzed. The afternoon papers
at Asheville, Shelby, Hickory,
Statesville, Rock Hill, Anderson,
ana Union got no news through

2-Masted Schooner Feared
Sunk After Battling Gale
Over Frying AN Shoals

Hope for the rescue Of the Val
more, two-masted schooner with
four members of her crew aboard
and cast adrift from the shrimper,
Dun Workin, near Frying Pan
shoals late Christmas afternoon IN
near gale, grew DINNER last
night when air-sea rescue planes
and boats from Charleston and
Oak Island Coast Guard stations

the two boats were off Southport,
the towboat, dashed by heavy seas
and southeast gale, was forced to
cut the Valmore-adrift.
With only one of her two engines

Dun Workin's other engine went
out and she began drifting help
