U. S. Navy's 'New' Uniform
Brings Back An Old Favorite
Leisure suits with flared
trousers, worn with opennecked
shirts, became the
fashion a couple of years
ago.
That was the same time
that the U. S. Navy
discarded bell-bottomed
trousers and open-necked
jumpers for a coat-and-tie
outfit whose trouser legs
were narrow and straight.
Now, men's styles are
again playing up suits with
cuffed, straight-leg trousers,
and shorts with neckties.
So what is the Navy
doing? It's going back to
wide-bottomed trousers and
V-neck jumpers.
Not Out of Step
It sounds as if the Navy
deliberately is being contrary.
Actually, the navy
brass is just bowing to
popular demand - shipboard
constraints.
When the suit-jacketed
uniform was proposed a few
years ago, many enlisted
men favored it. Once it
became standard issue,
however, its glamor quickly
wore thin.
Sailors discovered that
their salty, sea rover image
vanished as soon as they
donned coats and ties, just
like shojrebound males.
They also found that the
new togs required too much
space aboard ship, and took
a lot of effort to keep in
shape. Crowded crew's
quarters had to accommodate
lockers with hangers
and drawers filled with
laundered and ironed shirts,
as well as pantsrpressing
machines.
The old uniform, on the
other hand, kept its nautical
nattiness with a minimum of
care, the National Geographic
Society points out.
It also is easier to stow,

leaving more space for
those traditional, clandestine
poker games below
decks.
A bucket of water, some
soap, and a scrubbing brush
are all that is. needed to
clean bell bottoms and a
jumper - along with a
toothbrush to scrub the
stripes on collar and cuffs.
"No-iron" Clothing
Long before permanent
press fabrics were thought
of, a seaman's clothes
needed little or no ironing.
After being hung up to dry
inside out, the uniform could
be folded neatly along its
seams and tightly rolled into
a compact cylinder that took
little space in seabag or
locker.
Unrolled and reversed,
the outfit appeared neatly
pressed, even distinctive.
For the finicky, a suit of
dress blues could be "sack
pressed" by folding it neatly
beneath the wearer's bunk
mattress and sleeping on it
for a couple of nights.
For sailors who preferred
to iron their gear, the old
bell bottoms needed only a
light touch with an iron,
something that could be
handled at sea in anything
short of a full gale.
Now bell bottoms are
coming back, their only concession
to modernity being
that lighter weight, permanent
press blends may
replace the all-wool of
earlier eras.
In this age of computers
and technicians, the "new"
bell bottoms might recreate
a little of the old romance of
the sea, allowing even radar
operators at shore stations
to legitimately adopt a
rolling gait.

Used Refrigerator
Sought By Center
Those passing by the
Warren County Child Development
Center, housed in
All Saints Episcopal
Church, may think old Jack
Frost has already arrived.
The problem, however, is
the refrigerator. It has to be ,
defrosted every day.
The Center feeds lunch to
the students and must have
a good refrigerator to
properly store the food.
A new refrigerator is
needed. If anyone is able to
donate a refrigerator to the
center, call Faith Becker at
257-1019.
