Conway Twitty was born Har-
old Lloyd Jenkins, in the tiny
population 500) town of Friars
Point. Mississippi. AS a boy,
he looked forward to a career
in baseball or preaching, but
also had as a hobby singing

inherited from his father, a
former Mississippi river boat
pilot.
During his senior year in
high school the family moved
to Alabama. AT this time he
won praise from his minister

for having broken up a con-
flict between TWO rival teen
age gang leaders.
Following high school, he
joined the Army. While sta
toned In Japan, he joined a
musical group called the ''Cim-
marons". His talent for sing
ing--and writing songs, which

Planning
Important
To Survival
BY
Miss Coral Morris
Home Management Specialist
University of Delaware


Planning for special occa-
sions and daily living is part
of every homemaker's life.
Planning for emergency living
is similar In many ways, bur
1t lacks the motivation of happy
times ahead. Emergency plan
ming is extremely important If
your family is to have the best
possible chance TO survive the
dangers of fallout.
Fallout shelters have been
compared to pioneer sodhouses
that protected people from hos
tile Indian arrows. Living In
a sodhouse presented manypro-
blems similar to those of to-
days homemaker In a fallout
shelter. You need to provide
your family with these basic
human needs--fresh air, water,
food, sleep and sanitation.
Water will be scarce and
precious. Although you can live
on one quart day, you should
provide half-gallon per person
daily for drinking and foodpre-
paration. More is needed for
personal cleanliness.
Your shelter furnishings can
be very simple. Each family's
needs will depend on what they
want--what they have--what
they can get.
A TWO weeks supply of food
is required. Some of this can
be stored within the shelter,
the rest nearby. Foods selected
should include those things the
family likes to eat.
A first aid kit is essential,
plus additional medicines the
family might need. And, of
course, you want enough warm
bedding and clothing. Some fam :
lilies keep their old blankets
and cast-off clothes for this
purpose.
Emergency housekeeping will
not be easy; but neither will
1t be too difficult. You can't
expect to live luxuriously In a
fallout shelter, but you can ex-
pect to live.

HARTFORD. CONN.
"A FUNNY THING HAPPENED to television viewers in
this Connecticut capital on the night of June 2o,
1862. Thousands Of TV faithful had gathered
around their sets for a rare 6rst.run movie, "Sun-
rise At CampObellO," on Channel l8. Patiently they
sat through gala OratOrcal overture presided over
by Ralph Bellamy, president of Actors Equity, and
Governor John Dempsey, who described the momen-

several months in which to do or die in Hartford.
When Pay-TV first loomed on the horizon,
John H. Stembler, president of the Theatre Owners
of America, sounded warning to the Hollywood
film companies who had not yet decided whether
to nurture the Hedgling with frst-run movies: 1--WE

Aide Comments
AS far as could be determined

he received an invitation but
has not given a minutes
thought to going"
Another administrative as
sistant, asking to remain anony-
nous. described the scheduled
gatherings as a cheap lobby
ing trick"
He did not question the as
associations right to seek con-
gressional support for what he
called Junk mail" He con-
tended, however, that lobbying
on the postal rate bill would
be more effective and appro-
pirate if confined to ordinary
methods.
One Senatorial aide, who said
he would not go even if invited,
remarked, however, that he
doubted that the procedure
would be Cheap" He estimated
that 1t could run into consid-
cradle expense, depending on
how many invitations were &C
cepted.
