Ii They explained that black ~ol union suits are longjohns, rode with 80 to 100 per cent itural wool. I unders*'~od, then, Briefly, black wool longjohns soak up the moisture when one sweats. Also, they keep one warm when he gets soaked to the skin in snow or rain. In fact, they are "the only things that will keep you warm when you get wet." 'Fhose words sent me to a nationally known survival expert who used even stronger language. "It's the wool, not the color," he said. "Synthetic fibers aren't worth a damn in the outdoors."

But by this time 1 knew also that 1 was onto something really good - a sort of personal solution to the energy crisis. (Actually, I'm surprised that President R. M. Nixon in his Sunday speech did not add black wool to the five ways the nation is to save fuel this winter. I suspect the President left it off his list because it is hard to get. He did not want the nation to know we have yet another shortage.) Normally, black wool underwear has been available at the Ariel store, stores upriver, Woodland Logging Supply, Percy Godfrey's, Bert's Saw Shop and in Longwiew. Nowadays, to get the stuff in kxmgview, one has to have a relative up there who will give you a rush phone call when the underwear reaches the sales counlcr, for it doesn't last long. Woodland Logging is down to its last four suits. Percy Godfrey had a dozen on hand, until we walked off with two 44's. An Amboy logger who moved to Alaska recently wrote Percy for two pairs - a size 52 and a size 48. Percy had to write back and say he couldn't get them. Percy explained he has to order his stock from a single Canadian source. Orders require 6, 8, even 10 months to get here. That source is Stanfield's Limited or Turo, Nova Scotia. The labels come printed in French and English. It wasn't enough for me to know that black wool union suits are wonderful, scarce and, as I discovered, scratchy. I had to know their history. I recalled a mental image of Grandpa wearing some when I was little. The tops were hanging down, sleeves and all, from his belt while he stropped his razor. St) I talked to my father who is 80. He said Grandpa, an Iowa farm boy who became a minister, wore them winter and summer. My great grandfather wore them all the time, too. "They never took them off," Dad said. What he meant was, they wore different pairs the year round. ~'.'~ "~ ! "You can't tell me they wore them in the summer during haying'.'" 1 said. "In the hot iowa sun?" "They sure did," he said. Dad said he wore them, to(), but he swilched to something called BVD's as soon as he could get away from home. In his younger days, Dad was progressive. 1 gathered from his conversation that therewas something unhealthy about not wearing wool underwear after you had once started. This tradition seems to be part of the dogma surrounding wool undergarments. There seems to be support for this idea. Great grandpa, who was also named Robert E.

Anyway, my personal experience bears out the concept that it's not healthy to take your wool underwear off once you have put it on. I wore a pair I got from Percy for two days. When the weather turned warm, 1 switched to lighter things. Next day I caught one of the few colds and the worst cold I have had in the past four years. So here it is. If you don't like the odor of black wool, stand back. As far as I'm concerned, Grandpa was right!
