More Than a Singer
BY BERNIE HARRISON


The hit singer relaxes in her backstage
dressing room, a faded robe drawn loosely
around her plump figure and talks happily
about her work. Why her agent picks all her
records, she admits honestly and that's just
dandy with her

and you silently tick of the gold records in

has the world by the thin hemp, but also is as
easygoing as any performer you're likely to
meet in the competitive hurry -burly

How Much Is q BusheI?

bushel Of rye is 80 pounds in
louisiana but So pounds almost
everywhere else" This causes

The proposal before the con-

the bushel. Presumably a hun
dredweight is always 100 pounds,
even In Louisiana. This idea is
indorsed by many farm and BUSH
