PAGE TWO Billy Dilworth Football Vs. Wigs Women, bless 'em, can be a peculiar lot. Thousands sat alongside their husbands and boy friends yesterday in Sanford Stadium and in Sanford's counter- parts all across the nation.. These members of the female set yelled, cheered, jumped up and down and shouted at the top of their lungs, some even cried. Many wondered what was really going on may have constituted the larger audience. and this The real battle for the ladies didn't take place in the form of a pigskin contest on the green grass that covers the ground between the Texaco scoreboard clock and the bridge that links north and south campus. Actual competition came be- tween the women themselves and their hair styles and wigs. Nowadays, hairdos and wigs are right important to the women-folk on weekends particularly on home football weekends. That's the time when each good sister wants to out- do the other good sister in the most dazzling wig or fashiona- ble hair-do. And that takes some doing. Punt or Bunt Really, the fact is the average female football fan can't tell a touchdown from a field goal or a punt from a bunt. All of that football talk is secondary to the real thing - who's out front with the sharpest hair-do and the "most real" wig. Try to figure that last one out and you'll wind up on some psychiatrist's funny farm before you know it. Maybe you're thinking the wig business isn't that big. Think again and, the next time you're in Atlanta, observe a wig fashion shop on practically every business block down town. But let the ladies wear the fancy hair-styles and multi-col- ored wigs. Even at football games. Just as long as they don't go wild with these wigs and start wearing 'em big enough to block the view of the playing field. It'd be bad enough looking over or around a big wig in a seat from the 50-yard line-let alone struggling for a vantage point submerged somewhere way back in the end zone. That, kind friend, would boost your faith in the old belief that a woman's place is in the home. A Long Day Fatigue showed on the faces of all the television people who met themselves coming back the day Pope John was in New York City. Harry Reasoner of CBS and Bishop Fulton Sheen seemed terribly tired moments before midnight just after the Pope's airliner had left the concrete of Kennedy Airport bound for Rome. "I don't know about you, Bishop, but my contract didn't call for all this extra time." Reasoner said, smiling. Noted for his rapid answers, Bishop Sheen retorted, "All mine said was CBS Come Back Soon." And, that sir, could mean almost anything! Paul Silas -Paul Silas says: Dig this weird world! Man will order coffee in a restaurant and insist that it be plenty hot. When the waitress returns with a steaming cup, what's the first thing the customer will do? Yep, you guessed. Add a cube of ice. You're getting older if you remember when a man in his mid-40s wore a beard and the children regarded him as an elderly gent about ready for a cane. And whatever happened to Henry Aldrich the one- time boy wonder in radio programming? Quintuplets Make First Big Public Appearance By GORDON HANSON ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - The Fischer quintuplets made the first full-blown public ap- pearance of their young lives Saturday, riding a float in the homecoming parade of Aber- deen's Northern State College. Since their birth on Sept. 14. 1963, the quints born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Fischer have been seen on family outings only oc- casionally and on public display never. Their appearance in the pa- rade was a closely guarded se- eret up to the time they wheeled into the parade route on the float with a 10-foot-high heart providing a backdrop for the youngsters.. The parents, Andrew Mary Ann Fischer, rode on the top level of the float, five older children sat on the second level and the quints rode on the floor of the unit, along with the youngest Fischer child, 13- month-old Cindy. The six youngest were strapped into children's jumper chairs, the quints snugged into light blue jackets with white and stripes across the parka hoods. Surprised Aberdeen residents burst into applause as the float passed by the quints seemed bored or at least not impressed. Jimmy, the lone boy quint, fell asleep. Cathy started to cry, perhaps startled by the ap- plause. Her father picked her up and wiped away the tears. Baby Cindy also became up- set and rode most of the parade in her mother's lap. Danny Fischer, 10, and sister Charlotte, 9, had little success in keeping Jimmy's sleepy chin from bobbing onto his chest. Since their birth, the Fischers have shielded the quints from public view Many Aberdeen residents had never seen them, others had gotten a glance or two as the youngsters were fer- ried in the family station wag- on. "Oh, they're sweethearts," exclaimed one man. Two patrolmen and two police. captains marched alongside the parade float, keeping camera fans and well-wishers at a safe distance during the 18-block pa- rade. Mining Heiress Married To Dog Handler PITTSBURGH, Pa. (AP) Mamie Reynolds. 23, an heiress to a mining fortune, revealed Saturday a secret marriage and said it's made some changes in her life. For instance, she now shares a modest bungalow with 25 dogs and a husband who won't let her spend more than $10 a week. BARGAIN DRESS She buys her clothes on sale and got married in a $5-bargain that "just looks terrific on me. Mamie, a tall, golden bionde whose family once owned the Hope Diamond, was married Sept. 14 in Juarez, Mexico, to Joe Gregory, 39, Louisville, Ky.. one of the nation's top handlers of show dogs. he was divorced the same day from Luigi Chinetti, Italian race car driver whom she mar- ried in 1963. "The word was kind of getting around." Mamie said. So she and Gregory, crew cut, muscu- lar former high school basket- ball player, decided to reveal their marriage while in Pitts- burgh for a dog show. She said the marriage was kept a secret partly for the same reason their courtship started because of a dog. "I was afraid if people knew about it, it might have some- thing to do with winning or not winning in shows," she said. The dog in question is a chow chow named Champion Lake View's Ham Sum, which Grego- ry trained for her four months ago. She said she actually met Gregory, who has never been married, six years ago when she presented him a trophy in a show in her home town of Ashe- ville, N.C. Mamie is the daughter of the late U.S. Sen. Robert Reynolds, who was known to North Caroli- na Democrats for years as "Our Bob." He died in 1963 of a heart attack. Her mother was the late Eva- lyn McLean Reynolds, the sena- tor's fifth wife, who died when Mamie was less than a year old. Mamie inherited more than $2 million from the Reynolds' es- tate when she turned 21. She gets an unspecified amount from a trust set up by her great- grandfather, John R. McLean, and will get much more. She said the McLeans' money was made in gold mining in Col- orado and it was the McLeans who owned the Hope Diamond.

In Viet Nam Bombardment Ships Helping WASHINGTON (AP) bombardment ships of the 7th Fleet are moving in so close to take a hand in South Viet Nam's land war that they sometimes are practically alongside ground. soldiers in the rice paddies. It may now be reported that an example of this occurred last Shore week. A destroyer, responding to a call for gunfire on an enemy position, steamed well up the Saigon River to lob shells on the Viet Cong-with some interrup- tions by river traffic. Merchant ships sailed past. The destroyer ceased fire while each went by, then opened up Sit-In (Continued from Page One) Negroes attempted to enter the private dining club shortly after noon Saturday. There were no incidents. The Negroes walked quietly to the jail when told they were under arrest. The private club has been a secondary target of racial dem- onstrators whose primary pro- tests in two weeks of intense ac- tivity have been aimed at school integration. Negroes have made daily at- tempts to board school buses carrying white children to schools in adjoining counties. State troopers have blocked each attempt. Taliaferro County's one white school, scheduled for desegrega- tion this fall, failed to open when all pupils transferred to schools in other counties. again. Th steadily increasing activ- ity of the U.S. Navy has been overshadowed in daily official announcements about land bat- tles and air strikes. Since last May, when the De- fense Department ordered the 7th Fleet to rotate some of its destroyers and one of the two or three cruisers in the fleet to shore-bombardment missions, thousands of tons of ammunition have been fired. The bombardment force oper- ates only against Viet Cong tar- gets in South Viet Nam. More than 25,000 rounds of 5- and 6-inch ammunition have been used up to now and the tempo of the operation still is increasing as more and more requests come from Army and Marine forces for fire support. All such fire support is done "on call." A ground unit, en- countering heavy opposition or attack from fortified positions, radioes a request to the corps area ashore, which relays it to the over-all coordinating com- mand in Saigon. The order to a ship then comes in. This proce- dure actually involves only a matter of minutes. Navy offi- cials explained Saturday. The gun crews can put down shells at ranges up to nine miles within 100 yards of friend- ly troops without endangering them, a spokesman said. Part of this is due to the spot- ting system which utilizes air- borne observers in small air- craft or helicopters as well as forward observers on the ground to give changing coordi- nates to correct the aim. In night engagements of ground forces, the ships fire illumination shells to expose Viet Cong positions or move- ments. New York Papers Return NEW YORK (AP) New York City's idled newspapers began returning to print Satur- day following tentative settle- ment of a 24-day strike-shut- down. The Times, focal point of the labor dispute, remained off the newsstands, however. Its return awaited rank-and-file accept- ance of the contract approved by negotiators for the AFL-CIO New York Newspaper Guild. The Long Island Press, a Queens afternoon and Sunday paper which had suspended only its city editions, was the first to resume publication-printing a Saturday issue, and preparing its Sunday Paper. The Daily News, a morning tabloid with the largest newspa- per circulation in the nation, and the Journal-American, an afternoon daily, prepared to print Sunday editions.

Subsequently, the other mem- bers of the Publishers Associa- tion of New York City sus- pended publication on the grounds that newspaper craft unions' refusal to cross Guild picket lines at the Times violat- ed contracts negotiated citywide with the association. With the Guild ratification meeting scheduled Sunday aft- ernoon, the Times could not re- sume publishing immediately. However, after both sides ac- cepted the settlement formula Friday under the urging of Mayor Robert F. Wagner, Times Publisher Arthurs Ochs Sulzberger asked association members not to delay their own return because of the Times. In addition to the Times, News, Long Island Press and Journal-American, the dispute idled the World-Telegram and Sun and the Long Island Star- Journal. These two afternoon dailies expect to resume pub- lication Monday. The afternoon New York Post, which withdrew from the pub-| lishers' association during the 114-day. $250-million newspaper shutdown of 1962-63. continued to publish throughout the cur- rent dispute. The morning Herald Tribune resigned from the association in the 10th day of this strike-shut- down and resumed publication with its Sept. 27 editions. There was no immediate esti- mate of the cost of the strike- shutdown. At its peak, it idled 27,000 workers and stopped cir- culation of 4.4 million daily and six million Sunday newspapers. The Times and Guild negotia- tors accepted a contract formu- la written by labor trouble Kheel, home from Europe to serve a whom Wagner had summoned unpaid special mediator. shooter Theodore THE ATHENS BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA Scoggins Honored Roy T.

(AP) - A Floyd County Grand Jury issued a statement favoring retention of the death penalty in Georgia. The grand jury gave its opin- ion in a presentment Friday. Several other grand juries also have taken affirmative stands on the issue. A legislative commit- tee studying capital punishment is due to make its report in December. Week's Stocks Advance NEW YORK (AP) Despite some adverse factors, the stock market posted a good advance last week, making record highs in some of the averages. Worry over President John- son's gall bladder operation caused only a momentary upset in the market early on Wednes day. Wall Street learned to "live with" the fact that the President faced surgery and held its own fairly well, ad- vancing vigorously on Friday when the White House reported the operation "a complete suc- cess. Events of great religious im- portance occurred earlier in the week. The first was the visit of Pope Paul VI to New York City. This distracted an unknown amount of attention from the stock market. The other religious event was the high Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur which always tends to have a dampening ef- fect on the stock market. The start of World Series baseball had slight effect on the New York Stock Exchange. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks advanced 3.4 to a record closing high of 346.7. DAVISON'S A Tour of RL.
