NOT A LEG TO STAND ON
Short-Skirt Girls
Suspended by School

BRENTWOOD, N. Y, Nov. 80
(AP) Brentwood High School
officials have cracked down on
girls exposed knees, with 81
students being suspended for
too-high hemlineS.
Warnings didn't seem to do
any good, so girls whose skirts
were worn too short were sent
earlier this week from their
classes to the principals office.
T'hirty-seven girls were sent
home for two days. Some may
return today, and the remainder
tomorrow. 20
Harvey S. Brickman, high
school vice principal, said last
night he had received phone
calls from a few irate mothers.
But in general" he added,
nearly all the parents are with
US"
Mr.. Brickman noted that the
suspended girls don't have a leg
to stand on, since a skirt-length
ruling was drafted last spring
with the aid of the Student
Council, and the decision ap-
pears in the student handbook.
The handbook states that skirts
go no higher than mid-knee.
Evening star., 1961-11-30

Many fashion experts say the
current style puts hemlineS just
below the kneecap. A few fash
ion houses draw the line at
mid-knee. and no higher.
Said Mr.. Brickman: "Of
course, many mothers look over
their daughters before they
leave for school. and their hem
line lengths are all right. But
some girls. after they get to
school. roll up their skirts at
the waist which, of course,
makes them that much shorter"
When the "roll-up" girls are
disciplined by their teachers,
Mr.. Brickman said, "by the
time they get to the office the
skirts are down"
Concerning the record number
of suspensions. Mr.. Brickman
said teachers have been warn
ing the high-hemline girls since
the beginning of the school
term in this Long Island COM
munity.
AS is usual with suspensions,
Mr.. Brickman said. the parents
of each student will be called
in to talk things over.

For Tricks in

Toy sellers who would "pusf
the Christmas spirit too far" BY
bombarding children with mis-.
leading advertising are getting
special attention from Govern
ment investigators.
The director of the Federal
Trade Commissions Bureau oi
Deceptive Practices, Daniel j
Murphy, said today that printed
advertising and television DEM
onstrations of toys are causing
particular concern in his
agency. He said several firms
are under active investigation
for suspected false advertising
1T is one thing to excite a
child's imagination and desire
for a toy" Mr.. Murphy said
but quite another thing to
build him up for a letdown
when he gets it."
Mr.. Murphy said no form of
misleading advertising is less
defensible than exaggeration
that would exploit the credu-
lity of a child"
He said current Investigations
indicate that anyone shopping
for toys that consist OF many
pieces should make sure that
their purchase includes every
thing that has been displayed
in advertising or demonstrated
on television. He said displays
and advertisements sometimes
contain material from several
kits or items.
II you are buying a mechan-

mand a demonstration or assure
yourself that it will perform as
