WINTER ORAN NGE BIOS
SOMs-An amazing number Of
friends of teens are choosing these
winter months for wedding bells.
Girls only few years older than
ourselves are announcing early
marriage plans right and left,
and that means bridal showers.
Usually we don't have to plan
these events entirely, as some
adult takes the responsibility, but
often we're called upon for sug-
gestions. One teen wants to know
of a clever way to hand out door
prize numbers =. a.. there's nothing
very exciting about a plain num-
ber on a slip of paper. The most
festive and "bridesy" way is to
give each guest a tiny real or imi-
tation corsage Of lilies of the
valley with the number wound
into green florists tape in the
stem. A single rosebud is an
other favorite. Whether the f1ow-
ers are real or of paper or cloth,
every girl who pins a flower on
her dress Immediately feels
"spruced up" and ready for a
good time. A teen in Baltimore
did this for her sister n-law. She
found, at the needlework counter
Of a department store, tiny pin
cushions in the shape Of minia-
ture pillows. Next she used gilt
paint on q circlet Of paper and
wrote the numbers inside this i'm
itation wedding ring. which she
affixed to the little cushion in the
manner used in stylized marriage
ceremonies. The guests loved the
tiny pincushions.
Il n Il
VILAINY ABROAD "You
must pay the rent!" is a terrific
party monologue that teens
wholeheartedly appreciate. It's
done with a napkin or handker-
chief twisted In the middle to
represent q bow. The handker-
chief-twister says in a low, men
acing voice. "You must pay the
remit" as he holds the bow under
his nose to create . villainous
mustache. Next, in q high voice.
II won't pay the remit" with the
bow on his hair for q hair ribbon.
Lastly, the monologist transforms
himself to Hero Strongheart, who,
with bow under chin for bow tie,
announces in grand. rolling, mas
culine tones, II will pay the rent!"

Rocky Stops Curcio
In First

In minutes and 81 seconds of the
first round, Rocky Graziano knock
ed out his helpless opponent, Joe
Curcio of Newark, n. ]. in the main
attraction on the much publicized
fight card Monday night at the Mi
ami Stadium. Approximately 5000
fans witnessed the fiasco.
1t all happened so fast and quick
that the fans hardly had time to sit
down after taking a stretch follow
ing the semi-final.
After missing a few of his famous
roundhouse punches, the former
middleweight champion landed a
right and left to the body Of Curcio,
which backed him against the ropes.
A terrific right to the face sent Joe
to the canvass for the full count by
Referee Petey Sarron and that was
all to it. Graziano weighed 1924 and
Curcio 153k.
