KetcIlikan Men Take To the
 Umbrella Fad

KETCHIKAN tR - This busi- ne. of men carrying umbrellas in Ketchikan is no fad The "cus- tom'is growing by Heaps and bounds
 BV the latest count, four men now carry umbrellas here@It is believed the custom got shot in the arm because of the 728 inches ef rain which fell recently in half a day.
 Best known ef the umbrella car riers k Judge Richard Laaber of Magistrate Court
 The others:
 A man known only as Richard Wio dresses the tresses of the ladies.
 Mark Craddiek. the new District Attorney and q newcomer from the Old Country Sacramento, Cab. Ralph Smith, q newcomer from New York City and a teacher at ketehikan Community College.
 Not long ago q red-blooded Ket- chlkan man wouldn't be caught dead with an umbrella in his hand.
 As for Judee Iauber, carrying an umbrella is strictly functional" He says:
 - don't like to get the rain on my. glasses have my clothes soaked
 Also, use an umbrella to pre- vent being splashed when cars zip by the Federal Bldg and throw muddy water across the sidewalk"
 Under such conditions Lauber tits his umbrella and uses it like the knights of old used their shields for protection against dan gers
 The judge said that when he returned to ketcf1ikan three years ago he had to send outside for an umbrella. No store handled such protective gear for men. Now, he said. times have changed He said one store has stocked men's um- brellas.
 Craddick declared that umbrel- las are the best device ever de- signed by man for protection against wind and rain.
 .I don't wear a hat, said the District Attorney, "and don't keep turkish towel in my office to dry my hair when I come in out of the rain.
