Bras, Background
And Bringing-Up
Boost Big Busts
LONDON, UP) — “In America,
a bosom is quite simply regarded
as a good thing. English bosoms
are class-conscious.”
That’s the verdict of 30-year
old Mary Tuck, Oxford graduate
and onetime English teacher at
the University of Pittsburgh.
Her views are advanced in a new
book, “The Intelligent Woman’s
Guide To Good Taste.”
Miss Tuck’s theory of class
conscious cleavage is based on
bras, background and upbring
ing and gives the biggest boost
to the lower-class bust. Put an
other way, she says the upper
class bust needs a big boost.
Look under a fashionable
hunt ball, she says, and you will
find the upper class are super
dr'oopers.
“The reasons for this are an
. interesting subject for specula
tion,” she continues. * “I think
the most probable is that starchy
feeding at fashionable girls’
schools produces unusually hefty
figures in the adolescent (upper
class) female.”
The heavy strain put on pec
toral muscles at a comparatively
early age causes the sag, she said,
and “no one bothers to see she
is properly corseted.”
So when this girl reaches the
age of debutante parties and
hunt balls, her figure is perman
ently damaged.
But her (working class) sisters,
who have been buying them
selves properly fitting brassieres
out of their wages since the age
of 15, have far less to contend
with.”

Army Has New Sled-Mounted ,
Shelter For Use In Frigid Climate
ANCHORAGE, — A new and
improved family of sled-mounted
shelters for personnel aboard
tractor-drawn snow trains in
frigid climates has been devel
oped by the Engineer Research
and Development Laboratories,
Fort Belvoir, Va., for the U. S.
Army Transportation Corps. The
Army calls these shelters Wani
| gans.
There are three units in the
new Wanigan family: a 24-man
bunk or mess Wanigan, a 12-man
bunk or mess unit, and a small
four-man reconaissance unit.
They' differ from previous Wani
gans principally in the outfitting,
utilities, and design details. They
are equipped with the Corps of
Engineers’ standard hot-air heat
American Legion
Begin Convention
In Seward
SEWARD, UPI — The 39th an
nual convention of the Alaska
Department of the American
Legion was called to order Wed
nesday.
After the customary convention
parade, opening ceremonies were
held at the new Seward National
Guard Armory. There the Legion
presented a commendation to the
city of Seward for work done
by the Civil Defense organiza
tion.
Maj. Gen. Gilman C. Mudgett
spoke on inter-service rivalry
defenses of Alaska, and many
problems facing the services
and asked the American Legion
to continue to remain informed
on military affairs. Commander
Bob Druxman officiated at the
ceremonies.
Memorial services were held
after the general’s address hnd
it was in turn followed by a
recess to the 40 et 8. The bal
ance of the day was taken over
by the fun and honor society.
Later in the day James F.
Fitzgerald, city attorney of An
chorage, landed in jail, but only
briefly as a part of the 40 et
8 initiation.
, er, and in mess Wanigan the
chairs and tables fold against
the wall. All of the Wanigans
can be disassembled completely,
or eight feet Qf each end of the
12 and 24-man units, containing
the bulk of the equipment—heat
ers, snow melters,—can be left
intact and the center section dis
assembled and stored therein
and in separate packages.
The medium and large Wani
gans are constructed of stress
cover plywood panels two inches
thick with one-fourth inch ply
wood faces and fiberglass insul
ation in the panel cavity. The
small Wanigans are made of plas
tic panels two inches thick with
plastic-fiberglass cloth cover
bonded to a single veneer of
plywood which, in turn, is bonded
to a two inch Styafoam core.
This results in a lightweight
panelized enclosure.
The new Wanigans will be en
gineering and user tested by
the U. S. Army Engineer Re
search and Development Detach
ment and the U. S. Army Trans
portation Corps on the icecap
in Greenland, beginning this
m om tth. The Transportation
Corps Heavy Sled Company is
the prime user of Wanigans as
their organizational equipment.
