THIS AND THAT
(By Old Timer)
To me Editor:
"On tame s eternal camping
ground their silent tents are
spread, and Glory guards with »ol
eum round me Divouac of me
i uead."
W PB rules against trouser cuffs
pleats, overcoat belts, patch pock
ets and me uae make sense. But
tne board s ban on two-pants
suits is very questionable as a de
vice tor tne conservation of cloth.
Every man knows from experience
that a coat will outwear a pair of
trousers. For this reason many
men have always bought two-
pants suits. In fact, it might help
m let a man buy a mi rd pair so
long as his coat is serviceable and
this would be getting the equiva
lent ot tnree Victory suits with a
saving ot two coats.
The appearance of Ashland’s
well kept streets is marred by un
kempt parking lots, some border
ing on the main thoroughfares.
Residents who keep their premises
clean and tidy are deserving of
commendation for tneir manifesta
tion ot civic pride and me powers
mat be should show their appre
ciation by directing a general
ciean-up of ail eyesores forthwith.
Remember wnen men w’ore
' “boiled"
shirts,
with
bosoms
starched as stiff as a board, along
wim detachable cuffs, and with
their feet encased in "toothpick”
shoes ?
Memorial Day symbolizes hero
ism, service and sacrifice.
