MAIL TtllUNI, Madferf, Or. Thursday, Auj. 13, 193 5 In the Day's News ly FRANK JENKINS Dog Days ituff: A friend (who is not a resi dent of Portland) writes me: "I went into the new Trader Vic's restaurant in the Ben son Hotel for lunch the other day. I was attired in sports clothes, having on a button- ed-up sports shirt, but no tie, and what do you know? "One of those sunburned Scotsmen they have in there told me I d have to nave a tie on and that he (a Jap) would be glad to lend me one of his! Needless to say. picked up my hat and walked out. "Imagin Portland going high-hat! Maybe that's what's the matter with the Centen nial attendance." A H ME. "Tis a rugged world Awe live in, indeed. But let's not lose hope Let's look at the doughnut, and not at the hole. " IT ' Only a few decades ago My friend had walked into anv DroDerly conducted res taurant in America attired in a properly starched shirt and a properly stiff and choking eollar AND a necktie, but WITHOUT A COAT, he would have been told to put . a coat on or else! Nor is that- all. The coat 'he would have had to nut on. would have been 'constructed of material about a quarter of an inch thick, and would have been LINED to boot. Thus attired, he would have had to sweat it out, even though the mer cury was up toward the cen tury mark. In those days, they hadn't even invented THIN clothes. The point to remember is that the world is getting BET TER, rather than worse. rf DEFENSE of Portland, I'd like to quote a recent editorial in the Hartford Courant, published in Hart ford, Connecticut. The piece reads: "There is no cause at once so noble and so futile as the attempt to get the human male to act like a rational being during hot weather by doffing his conventional habi liments and adapting himself to the weather conditions." As these lines are read in "homes, in barber shops, in offices and stores, it's dollars to doldrums the man reading them has his legs encased in two hot cylinders of woven materials and has a binding strip of cloth around his neck. "And, if he is a community leader, he will also be wear ing a coat. For a civic leader would as lief be , caught in downtown Hartford in his underdrawers ; as without a jacket to his suit." 3 My friend You're at least better off in Portland than you would be 4n 1ms nrosressive and more traditional Hartford. There you would have to have a coat as well as a necktie.
