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.

A destroyer, responding to a

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

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

The Long Island Press, a

paper which had suspended only
its city editions, was the first to
resume publication-printing a
Saturday issue, and preparing
its Sunday Paper.

In addition to the Times,

the death penalty in Georgia.

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.
