ING SUITS

CHICAGO, Jan. 25 UP)—Twoant* suits are still a thing of the ast, but prospects for the relaxaon of Sonuf restrictions on male atIre were bBtght today as the annual tena’ and Boys’ wear market show

pfened.

Exhibitors displayed fancy ties, audy sMHst fine woolens and good

exhibited. Officials said the OPA order was intended to hold cotton stores in this country as a medium of exchange for armies of occupation

in en'-my territories.

“With these new' restrictions on cotton and an abundance of wool, it is natural to assume that woolein garments will take the lead in production and consumption," another

buyyr said.

Styles were not expected to bo influenced by military Yashions a,ny more than in the past, although a line of military raincoats for men and boys received much attention. Suits are still mainly conservative, a manufacturer said, because of limitations on designs. “But shirts are another matter,” he said. “They show a definite trend back to the World War I post war period of expensive silks.” A glance at the exhibits showed that color schemes for haberdashery were uninhibited. Vivid shirts as “morale boosters.” The drab colors of suits and solid colors and a complete line of “Frank Sinatra bows" for the jitter-bug narket were offered. j,g» q, -J, q- -l- 4- H- -e *— "x* -i* 4qT RUSSELLVILLE + q. q. .u -]- -1- f n- 4* v- -r -1* •!* •!• -i- *o{ Mr. and Mrs. L L.

Coach Lloyd Messersmith’s DePauw Tigers and Lieut Everett Case’s Navy Pre-Flight squads went through final workouts today in preparation for the double-header on the Bowman gym floor Wednesday evening against Fort Knox and Bunker Hill. The Tigers clash with the soldiers from Kentucky at 7 p. m and th‘> Naval Cadets battle the service team from Bunker Hill in the second tilt of the feature attracion. DePauw defeated Fort Knox recently by a fairly one-sided score and should repeat in this second meeting. Bunket- Hill held Case's outfit to a very close margin some weeks ago and will invade Greencastle hoping to even the count for the season with

the Cadets.

In local and Putnam county high school circles, interest of fans is centered on the Wabash Valley tourney at Terre Haute where the Roachdale Hawks play Gerstmeyer at 9 o’clock Thursday night. Grecncastle’s Tiger Cubs will be host to the Seymour Owls Friday evening and this should prove well

worth seeing.

ANTI-WILLKIE <W>P LEADERS MAY URGE DEWEY TO RUN WASHINGTON. Jan. 25 (UP) — Congressional Republican uneasiness over the persistence of Wendell L.

By Katherine McKamry anil Estella llcaiichump Another new school week and a new student. Robert Holsapple from Bainbridge, enrolled in the sixth

grade Monday.

It seems as though the only exciting event this week was the Wabash Valey tournament. Yes, we were very disappointed when Roachdale defeated us, but we’re still root, ing for our boys. We are just as proud of them now as we would have been if they had wun. When the

game was over and they started to

leave the floor, they looked over at the Cloverdale boosters and saw how disappointed we were and said, “Golly, we’ve let the high school

down." By that we know they really

appreciated our boosting. We don't mind being let down much, though, for we know they put up a tough fight. It’s just one of those things that can't be helped. We have another game with Roachdale the

eighteenth of February, and don’t

think we won't be fighting right

along with the boys, for we will. In

other words, we .never give up! The Juniors are really looking

forward to their class play. It is a comedy in three acts; In The Doghouse. We hope to start play practice

within the next week or so. With

Mr. F G. Hurst as our director, wo

should progress very quickly. The high school has started on the

County Tin Drive but so far Betty Jones, of the seventh grade, is the

only owe who has turned in any tin. Maybe the rest of the pupils are just

waiting to be told about It again be-

if'wnUuiird fi*€im rnitt* Onr) lect it will rapidly decline. Becuuse of u.:- tremendous sacrifices made by a mother for her child is possibly one reason sne loves it so Intensely. An ex-soldier who has seen service upon the battlefield knows 1 something of the tremendous priee that has been paid for our liberties and for that reason our cx-soldieis are said to be more patriotic thi.n any other citizen. If every citizen was willing to make a sacrifice each day to make better homes in which to rear ch'luren, better communities that furnish better environment, better churches that every one might feel his responsibilities, it would make for a better democracy. When all men are brought to a realization of their full responsibility in a democracy, then we will cease -O have strikes in critical times like

these.

One of our greatest needs is men and w men who are willing to think or themselves, courage to back up heir convictions, and not let some political lender or pressure group jatisiy his seltish ambitions at the •xpenze of our democracy. Take all selfish ambitions from our pressure gr ups and our political leaders, then we would have an ideal republic, the kind our forefathers planned. Too many want to be on the receiving end and not the serving end. Those who live to memselves alone have lost the salt of life or their usefulness so far as their resp msibilitiea to the people are concerned. They fail to realize their succe'-n in life is not measured by what the world gives them, hut what they give to the world. They are a liability instead of an

asset.

A good business man is careful to watch hts assets and liabilities. How many citizens are careful to weed out the liabilities in our government when they go to the polls? Ex-President Coolidge once said, “When we vote for anything but the best we cheat ourselves, our family and our country.” Then we ask ourselves, “Can wo ever pay our debt to those of the

past?”

There are those who think “the boys and girls of today are worse than they used to be.” We forget hack in Biblical times some were disrespectful to their parents and were frivolous. We find written in a casket that has been buried for 6.000 years that the world is growing w >rse. We forget that youth for lack ,t experirnce can’t sympathize with

age.

And age with its ripened experience tries to have youth see life as does one of mature years. The temptation is to bring a sixty year o!d standard to bear upon a sixteen year old youth and there is a maladjustment f some forty-four years. Let us not forget that youth is passing through the most trying experience youth ever had. Never in the history of the world has youth faced so much temptation. All of which is not of their own choosing. They aie u victim of circumstances. But they like youth throughout thr ages did not come into the world of their own choice. Had nothing to say about choosing their parents. Nor tne c immunity in which they have been placed. Nor the condition of the times. Their character in most cases is but a reflection of their home life, their heredity, their community life and their associates. The parents in the home and the citizens of a community have within their hards and are largely responsible for controlling til destiny of the youth of today, who in turn will control the destiny of cur nation of the future.

MANPOWER SHORTAGE FELT BY MOTORISTS The severe manpower shortage is forcing the driver? of automobiles and trucks to become more self-re-liant for emergency road service, and this will be eapcially true during severe winter conditions, the State Highway Commission has pointed out. It was stated that garages will not be able to send rescue trucks out on the road to aid stalled vehicles on the same basis a 8 heretofore. However, the Highway Department expects to keep the roads clear of snow and ice, although the ranks of the maintenance crews have been seriously depleted by the manpower fhortage. The Commission urges that drivers do everything possible to take care of their own needs by anticipating trouble from winter’s two major hazards—inadequate traction and reduced visibility. While the state has been comparatively free from snow so far this winter, at least two more months of potential bad weather remain.
