Bobby Sox Brigade Taking Shirts Off Poor Father's Back Champaign. 111., July 20 U.R) Papa is paying as usual this time by having the shirt taken off his back. Miss Edna Gray, clothing spe cialist at the University of Illi nois college of agriculture, said today an Increasing number of bobby-soxers are leaving father shirtless while they sip Ice cream sodas in oversize men's garb. "It wouldn't be quite so bad, if men were able to get all the shirts they needed," Miss Gray said. "But everyone including the teen-agers knows there's a shortage of men's shirts." That's not all. The youngsters also have made off with father's work pants. This leaves him to neglect his victory garden in the interest of modesty or gingerly cultivate his tomato plants while wearing his best trousers. IS AT E Since inception of the utility business there has been an issue, that of public vs. private owner ship, A. S. Cummins, president of the California Oregon Power company, told members of the Kiwanis club at their noon meet ing In Holland Hotel yesterday. At first the agitation for public ownership centered ent'rely upon municipal ownership, Cum mins said, but during the period from 1922 to 1931 many munici palities availed 'hemselves of the opportunity to get rid of a ,os Ing proposition by selling their systems to private companies. Survival Fight Important Cummins stated his belief that agitation for public ownership stems from a desire on the part of promoters of the plan to so cialize the power industry and that If they were successfu' in their efforts it would soon spread to other businesses. He pointed out that the fight for survival the1 private utilities are making is of the greatest imnortance to all who favor private ownership of business. The Copco president said that service and the price of power as supplied by private utilities are entirely fair and rea sonable, but suggested persons urging public ownership apply one yardstick to privately owned utilities and another to public projects. Public Protects Candied The yardstick applied to public projects has been alloyed with grants, appropriations and sub sidies, all gilded with a. frosting of benevolence and grandeur to make it alluring to the man on the street, Cummins said. He pointed out that no businessman can hope to compete with a sub sidized competitor who Davs lit tie or no taxes, who never has to worry about a ready supply of money, who Is not subjected to restrictions and who is not concerned with profits or losses. Cummins said the California Oregon Power company is own ed by a large number of stock holders and that it pays taxes and is a self-sufficient public utility operating company. Frederick H. Meyer, Ray Van Loon, Mike Hauser and T. H. Reeves were visitors and Rich ard Phair was Introduced as the baby Kiwanian.
