mWl In Navy Drive ads I i fife Dade county school teachers, including Miami's masses, finally received reluctant permission from a bewildered school board earlier this month to teach school next term "without stockings" if they want to. The debate stirred up Three hundred letters to high school students who are 17 or more years old have been mailed by the six-man voluntary Civilian Naval recruiting committee, it was announced yesterday by Lt. F. G. Merrill.

The letters described advan tages to be gained by joining quite a furore inasmuch as the board never had been faced with a similar problem before but also couldn't ignore what disaster stocking purchases are going to wreak on the average budget this year. The tempest moved into Tampa where school board members finally ruled last week that if they can't boost teachers' salaries, they can help them economize a little by allowing the no-stockings liberty. But as far as we can ascertain, Pinellas county hasn't been bothered by the momentous problem yet. Superintendent of Schools G. V.

Fuguitt said yesterday he hasn't heard anyone even mention it and he's sure no queries have been called to Pinellas board's attention. the Navy and stressed the fact that "Your Navy NEEDS You NOW." A booklet, "Men Make the Navy," was alsp enclosed in the letter. Many plans have been formu ning." Wa. ren failed to answer. Dunnett testified that he made the actual arrests of the three Intoxicated customers as the bar was closing.

One, he said, was drinking wine; a sailor had an order of beer and he didn't know what the other man had been given, Manker claimed it was a "pure soda and water" because the customer in question had a "sour stomach." Mrs. Charles Hendricks, Johns pass, and Beverly Harman, 2430 Sixth avenue north, won luspend-ed sentences on U-turn charges. Maud Linkenhoken, 846 Seventh avenue north, forfeited a $3 bond on the same charge. Albert A. Sneyd, Jacksonville, was fined $75 and ordered to surrender his driver's license for one year when Judge Peterson found him guilty of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor.

Sneyd was arrested Friday night after he collided with another car at Fourth street and Thirtieth avenue south. He pleaded guilty to charges. Open Air Forum programs for the week will Include: "World Events In the Light of Prophecy" by the Rev. A. J.

Hoolsema, Monday; "Ancestry Training and Character of King David," Dr. J. M. Yetter, Tuesday; "A Trip Through Middle Europe," Mrs. Jean B.

Woodward, Wednesday; poetry day, Mrs. Grace Madelon Frame, chairman, Thursday; miscellaneous program, Fri Walter Manker, operator of Walt's bar on Central avenue for "about 14 months," was fined $50 in city court yesterday morning for permitting persons who were intoxicated to enter and remain in his establishment. "Your case," Judge H. L. Peterson told Manker, while more than a dozen witnesses for the defendant craned forward to listen, "should serve as a warning to anyone who is operating a bar in St.

Petersburg today. Proprietors, whose trade is visibly increasing since so many service men have come to the city, will have to conduct their establishments in an orderly way and in strict accordance with city ordinances. If they don't, they can expect no leniency in this court." Brief fireworks flared between Manker's attorney, Archie Warren, and Officer C. G. Robinson after the latter testified that he had been watching Walt's bar for two nights before he saw three intoxicated people enter it on a Saturday night and stay inside until closing hour for "about 35 minutes." Officer H.

E. Dunnett, who was working with Robinson on the special assignment, arrested the three men when the bar was closing. "Why didn't you arrest them outside if they were drunk?" Warren asked Robinson. "Did you see anyone else that evening outside the place who should have been picked up, or are you just using these as isolated cases?" "I don't want to deal in personalities," retorted Robinson. "If I did, I should have picked you up there an hour earlier that eve lated by the committee for the recruiting of as many men as quickly as possible.

Included among the ideas are dances, street parades and drills and ra dio programs. taches Arley Albury, 10-year-old youth of Forty-first street and Thirty-eighth avenue south, went home last night from Mound Park hospital.

What few silk stockings are left on the market hover around $1.65 a pair and there aren't any more orders coming in. Instead, all stockings will be rayons and cottons and they aren't going to be too low in price. Some women are allergic to wearing cotton stockings and actually couldn't use 'em. We saw two young negro girls the other day, however, who seemed to be making an honest effort to create former illusions. They had painted artistic cream-colored stripes up the back of their legs, Cosmetic companies are helping out by offering all types of cream and powder applications which have been known to fool the most critical observer.

And this, dear readers, is the Victory bike of around 1839 a two-wheeled contraption of hickory wood and iron, with steel rim wheels and no rubber needed. La Verne Pounds, 1202 Fourteenth street north, fireman at Station 3, gives a good 1942 version of how to ride the bicycle.

It was the vogue back when," long before the gay nineties, but it's doubtful if it was ever accused of breaking the speed laws. Pounds brought the bicycle from Cleveland where his wife's uncle, A. H. Smith, had stored it in a barn. It was made in Detroit, was quite old when her uncle bought it, and is believed one of the earlist vehicles on the The front wheel measures 36 inches; the rear wheel, 28 inches.

The pedals are attached to the front wheel, are of wood and adjustable. The handlebars wood, too, with brake to control the front wheel. The saddle is quite deep and long, there is a luggage carrier in back and the wheels are Dodge spoke wheels. The best part, from a 1942 standpoint, is the fact that the wheels have no rubber, being steel rims.
