Judging Started for Miss America Pageant Parade Is Held Tuesday Night By HARMAN W. NICHOLS ATLANTIC, CITY, N.J. (UP) — Notes taken on the back of a white swim suit at the Miss America contest: Perky Margaret Doyon, 18-year old Miss New Hampshire (35-23-35 —glove size 6) came<to Atlantic City with a busted head. I have to hasten that, “the head busted wasn’t her own, really, except that it was part of her props. Miss Doyon is a snare drummer and no snare drummer runs around w-ithout a bass. The lady Gene Krupa had a little trouble with the airlines, which somehow managed to wind up with a hole in the head of the bass drum. Suffice it to say that the always alert city press bureau got that fixed up in a hurry. Mrs. Marge Kissinger, a registered nurse at the Philadelphia general hospital, has been around looking out for falsies* under the bathing suits and so forth for 15 pageants. Mrs. Kissinger, a bashful, lovely lady, said she hated to mention It. but she has, across the many years, since Rosemary LaPlanche, of California won in 1941, not found many violations. “Some of- them try to cheat a littl>," she confessed, "but we don’t have much trouble. We just tell them that a show of a garter belt could disqualify them and they go back and dress down.” Margo Lucey, Miss District of Columbia, probably was the carrier of the lightest bundle of luggage. She had only four bags. Hetcomplete outfit ctonsisted of a three-in-one set. Slip covers are extras over a foundation garment. One gal almost had a trainload When she walked off the carrier and asked one small porter to haul oU 32 bags. The porter had to call for help. Tuesday night the 50 gals looked their very prettiest in the annual pageant parade down a three mile stretch of the boardwalk. Tonight the judging starts. It’s talent, swim suit and evening gown. Competing in evening gown tonight are Arizona, Arkansas. Chicago, Colorado, Florida. Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon. Pennsylvania, and Texas. In talent: Albania, Conn-cti-cut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, lowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts.

Classes Planned On Work Simplification Demonstrations And Lectures Planned I. ■ I g” " wWnffM I . fcj ■preiL ■kK’ I||BU IRI Classes in work simplification for cardiac and other housewives will be offered in September and October by the Northeast Indiana heart foundation, Adams county home economics clubs, and Purdue University in cooperation with the Adams county medical society, it was disclosed today. Miss Donna Schieferstein, apprentice home demonstration agent, said that four demonstra-tion-lecture sessions will be held September 13 and 20 and October 4 and 11. All sessions will be held at the Co-Op Building in Monroe, at 8 p. m. The classes will be taught by Miss Miriam O. Eads, Purdue University expert in home management. Miss Schieferstein said that enrollees will be shown how to have as much as 50 percent of their time and energy while performing their normal household tasks. Interested residents are invited to obtain application blanks and complete details about the course either from Miss Schieferstein or from Mrs. Mary Anne Evans, executive secretary. Northeast Indiana Heart Foundation, 1005 Fulton Street, Fort Wayne. Mrs. Evans said yesterday that the classes, conducted without charge, represent another project in the heart foundation's community heart program. “They fulfill a specific need for the homemaker disabled by heart disease, or some.. other ..limiting., ailment, as well as being of aid to the dector of medicine in the management of his women patients with heart disease or other ailment,” she added. A section of the application blank will be completed by the physician who will indicate the physical restrictions advised for the patient. This information will be for the guidance of the work - simplification consultant since there will be no medical examination, treatment or diagnosis given in the classes. Mrs. Evans said that “Most people can enjoy the luxury of extra time and energy that results from finding easier and better ways of doing things. But for the homemaker with heart disease, and many others, the saving of time and energy is an absolute necessity. • "We of Northeast Indiana heart and Purdue University believe that this program will fill the physician's prescription of ‘take it easy' by showing the homemaker how to take it easy,” she continued.

Thomas B. Lloyd, 51, chief cashier for Brink’s Inc., told Tuesday of terror-filled moments during the $1,218,211 holdup when he thought masked gunmen had decided to murder the firm’s night crew. Lloyd appeared exhausted after nearly a fnll day on the witness stand where he described publicly for the first time how Halloweenmasked bandits robbed the Brink's counting house in Boston’s North End district six years ago.

Defendant Anthony Pino, accused of arming the gang and rigging the Brink’s'counting house» locks for quick access, perspired freely in the warm courtroom. — Joseph Hullinger of Poe has been admitted to the Veterans Hospital in Fort Wayne.
