Louis Passey, Tom Jenkins, Margaret Marga-ret Ward, Jessie Reeve, Donald Witter Wit-ter and Yerna Reeve, have sent exceedingly ex-ceedingly well written letters to this paper concerning the "overall movement" move-ment" which most of them describe as a "fad" and which will do nothing else but Increase the price of thoso garments gar-ments for the men who have to wear them at their work.
