the Gulf Coast, and the region still
needs all the help it can get.

Bells tolled across the Big Easy

Many people are mad --

Britain's icons, worn by guardsmen for
almost two hundred years...

But if the animal activist group
PETA gets its way the hat will soon
become a thing of the past.

The ministry of defense says it's
tried several synthetic fur
alternatives but has never found a
proper substitute.

From sheep-skin - to nylon it's
been tested - but when guards walked by
power lines, the revised hat puffed out
"like a pom pom."
