FOR WARDROBE HONORS
Dear Fraternity Brothers:
i Since its campus time again, I guess you’ve gotten ’round to think
ing about your wardrobe. But just in case you haven’t, (or even if
you have), I’ll give you the latest scoop on British Woollens.
Have you seen the bold plaids, checks and heavy nubby tweeds
that have been used for jackets and suits? They promise to be sport
' headliners, and win aaa spice ur*'
your wardrobe when used as
mix-matches with • those classic
flannels you wouldn’t be without.
Did you know
that .the modified
natural look is
coming into its
own in coats as
well as in suits?
-And that coats
cut in the Bal- .
macaan style j
with r a g 1 a n !
sleeves are top
fashion news? (I was so impressed
with the coats I have included
a couple of pictures.) And don’t
forget—if you want your fall top
coat to carry through the Ides of
March, there are many of these
coats that feature a zipped-in
lining.
You’ll really want to stock up
on shirts when you see the light
weight wools in prints, plaids, and
1 checks—many of them in brilliant
] color combinations.
Incidentally, waistcoats to be
worn with the classic suit or
slacks, are the rage this year and
wait until you see the selection.
There are some eyecatching no*
tions cut from British Woolens
you don’t want to miss .. . paisley

We have been having our an
nual winter blow. Wind velocities
have been locally estimated at
from seventy to over one hundred
miles an hour in some of the
gusts. This has been happening at
from ten to fifteen degrees below
zero.
It’s been rough. At present, I
have no compete reports as to
the amount of damage caused by
the wind, but it was considerabe.
Quite a few farmers report dam
age to farm buidings, and water
pipes frozen. We also lost our
share of topsoil. Some fields are
reported to have lost up to half
an inch of surface soil. When you
have ony a couple of feet of soil
at the most, that makes a pretty
short lifetime for a farm. By the
time you get it paid for its gone.
The answer to our wind ero
sion problem isn’t simple. At
present there is no satisfactory
answer. Stubble will give excel
lent protection, grass will do al
most as well. Green manure crops
can be handled by seeding early,
working the green manure crop
into the soil in July, and grow
ing a winter cover crop during
the remainder of the summer sea
son. The rotv crop situation is the
bad one. We need to grow them
in the Valley but they cost us
have been based on the assump
topsoil. Our recommendations
tion that we would have snow
protection at the time of our big
blows. This year we were robbed
—no snow. We had no roads
blocked but we lost plenty of
topsoil. This year is somewhat
unusual, however. You can’t plan
for every eventuality. If we con
tinue our plans for clearing nar
row fields across the wind, pro
tect open fields by strip cropping
or hedgerow windbreaks, and,
also, follow a crop rotation, we
can at least hold our soil blow
ing to a minimum. Let’s keep on
trying.
Each year nearly 10,000 Boy
Scouts earn the coveted Eagle
Scout rank.
