The Male Corner
Old Familiar
Fabrics for
New Jackets
By Edward Lawrence

The subject is jackets, and
where better to begin than with
worsted jersey? 1t was heralded
here before in a crushproof
sports coat. and now it's back in
a well-tailored black wind
breaker jacket It's casual, nat
urally, but a dressier outer gar
ment for golf or other light
sports would be hard to conjure
up.
The material is highly abb
sorbent, and that reduces the
danger of catching cold from
perspiration. It sheds its wrin-
kles and looks pretty good after
a cool mornings wear.
Y = y Il
There's a good jacket on the
market made of imported Hol-
land suede. Satin lined, it falls
in the windbreaker class. service
able when the weather'S brisk
but above freezing. A well-tai-
lored suede jacket, is guaranteed
not to fray along its wool cuffs,
collar and waist, makes a virile
semidress garment during its
first months. 1t will live long
after that, but our experience is
that it loses lot in appear
ance. Best get a dark shade.

Driven into Information by
winter temperatures, denim is
preparing to do even better this
year than last. A California
firm is decking out its denim
jackets for spring IN three new
colors. In addition to the per-
ennial faded blue there are
charcoal, wheat and faded green.
A useful style feature on this
Jacket is its dual pockets "a
patch pocket superimpoSed on
q large slash pocket.

When you're buying a jacket
don't limit your appraising eye
to the outer integument. The
lining is almost as important.
First. as always. go to sales
man who knows what he's talk
ing about and will give you the
facts. Ask him if the Innings
mothproof mildewproof. and
whether its cleans easily and
well.
Feel it for yourself. If it's
good it should have a soft, ''lux-
urious" hand. Like all modern
mems clothes it should be warm
without weight. Examine it for
neat, even, secure stitching.
Don't be satisfied to learn
that it's wool, or milium, or
orion. or whatever-the point is,
what will it do?"
X
Our good neighbors, the Rus
slams. will probably shout. Cap
italist militariSm!" when they
hear about the new civilian craze
for khaki Stacks and shorts. This
tough. lightweight material is
spearheading its drive where
some of our best-and worst
apparel notions are spawned,
i.e.. on the campuses of both
mems and women's colleges.
There are khaki gabardineS.
poplinS, twillS and a host of
cottons and Synthetics, suit
able" like Miss Hepburn's Gala
lilies, 'for any occasion"
For a sturdy stuff, khaki
achieves a strikingly smart, neat
look, if it's kept as clothes de-
serve to be kept. Therefore more
power and a vote of confidence to
collegians for recognizing the
virtues of a good-looking, prac-
tical, inexpensive style.
Now we'd like to see some
manufacturer make and popu-
lariZe an Eisenhower-type khaki
windbreaker for spring.

students in |the following ways
"a to assume responsibility; (b)
to give teacher an opportunity to
observe student conversing serious
ly in their own language, (c) to
give students a chance to exper-
fence teaching with view to cho-

to allow students TO participate

New Industries
Discussed by Ruritans

New industries do not come to
a community by merly wishing or
asking them: you have to first
get your house in order" This
was the thought that was pre-
sented to the Cumberland Ruri-
tan Club recently by c. M. Nick
OLSON, of the Division Of Plan
ming and Economic Development,
State Of Virginia
Mr.. NICK llson discussed
thoroughly things that the county
would have to do to get some
business or industry to come in.
He stated that 90G6 of all manu-
featuring establishments in Viz
glnia are small, employing less
than one hundred each. and they
make an important contribution
to our economy.
The Rural Industry committee
OF the Cumberland Club will study
the county problem and see Just
what needs to be done in order to
attract some business to come
into the county
