For
flyswatters? We’recall these implements from our long-ago
youth, sturdy contraptions with heavy twisted wire handles
and real metal mesh swatting surface, fringed with durable
cloth binding. These were essential household appliances of
those largely screenless days, and one represented a lifetime
investment, always hung reverently from one particular
nail injhe house. There were fly swatters artists in those
days, usually toothless oldtimers with tobacco juice trickling
down through the gray Stubble on their chin. One of these
. veteran exterminatory could1 take a properly balanced
swatter and, while rocking on the front porch, never missing
an unwary fly within reach. These experts rarely swung,
they flicked lightly: backhand, overhead, front slam, and so
on. But now, the experts are . gone, replaced by inept
children with spray,.cans. And, the fly swatters? Ridiculous
flimsy imitations, plastic and rubber, poorly balanced,
expendable. Oh, for the good old days witn the flies again!

afraid to go steady with
anyone because .he seems
to hegr wedding bells. He
believes I will trap him
to lose him. What should I
do? Your Friend, Like-

Dear Likeable:
First, some don’ts:
Don’t talk about going

Don’t talk about mar-
riage.
Don’t make demands on

As Fashion Editor of this venerable publication, as well
as being-vvery other editor on the paper, we do try to keep
up with what’s happening in the apparel field, in which we
have a vast disinterest. But,, one recent item’caught our
attention. Pleatedpants for men, as everyone knows, are on i<i|
the way back: in fact, the silhouette looked very familiar.
Wife Martene pegged it: it’s back to the zoot-suit trouser •
look of the ’40’s with which the Was Generation is all too ‘iB
familiar.,..And with the news that narrow belts and narrow
ties are back ‘‘in’, it proves once again that in fashion, as in
history, what is past is prologue!

And another fashion item of interest to the ladies of.
“mature" figures. Traditionally, -fashion models have been
the long, thin, emaciated, flat-chested,-htmgry-Wokmgtypes,
vastly skinny and underweight. This on the theory that
prospective buyers would imagine themselves thinner when
viewing the models. But, and this is news, Bergdorf-Good
man, a style leader, has issued their new spring-summer
catalog with the season’s new daring (and baring) swimsuits.
----------And who-a^-HH»detttng'them?-Wvtt,- Hreportly'tatflPs;that's
* who, with large chests and more than ample tummies and
rears. B/G reasons that most of their customers.fall iq this
category, so why not start a trend of letting it all hang out?
or, at least, a good part.
.....X
In-’common with jusLabouLevery Dallas area weather
forecaster, we goofed badly on the recent weekend snow
when w.e had expected a partly sunny day. for which we are
abject with shame! But, it. reminded us of an incident earlier •
this year when our sunshiny day was bit late in arriving and
was proceeded by snow. One of the irreverent young staff
members here, with a total lack of respect for her elders and *
a complete lack of understanding of human fallibility, walked
boldly into the office, pelteftjlC with a snowball to the kisser,
.chuckling gleefully: "How^ do you like that sunshine?”

That law suit which has just ended in San Antonio only
emphasizes the perils of newspapering as a profession. An
advertising man there sued for workman’s compensation,
claiming disabilities of "numbness and tingling in nands and ,
feet, dizzy spells, trembling, and fatigue " Hi* uznrk rttmrd
showed he was spending 55-65 hours a week on the jyb.
What strucktis wasTFeTacTthatTe sued'at all (and lost). We”'
thought everybody in the newspaper game had trembling,
numbness, fatique, and worked such hours. What’s unusual
about that, fellow?
