London, Nov. 15—(AP)—Plus fours have been barred in the London banks where the executive officials objected to the custom of some of the clerks who have been coming to work on Saturday morning dressed for the golf course when the banks close at noon, in one bank the following sign was posted:
“You are training for bankers, not bunkers.”
The banks directors solemnly decided that sport clothes did not give the proper air of dignity to a bank, and accordingly forbade the appearance of clothing suggesting putting greens. The bank clerks’ union considered the ban of plus fours, but the golf enthusiasts were in a minority and no action was taken.
