Drawing The Line . . .
CHESTERFIELD, England, —
Five hundred girls who lifted
their skirls without a blush have
drawn the line at unbuttoning
their blouses.
The girls, whose average age is
18, work at a hosiery and lingerie
factory.
They complained their mod
esty was offended by new secur
ity checks to see that none of the
firm’s underwear was being
smuggled out for the benefit of
competitors. Some of the girls
threatened to strike.
“We are used to lifting our
skirts to show that no expensive
frillies have been removed from
the work benches,” said one teen
age blonde
“But we draw the line at any
one looking at our bras. That was
going too far.”
Managing director Kenneth Al
len apologized to the girls and
the strike threat evaporated.
