...more. Officially recognizing the female entries, Delaware's new Dover Downs scheduled the world's first fully mixed event this week, billing it as the "Jack and Jill race" and identifying the female riders as "jockettes." At Lincoln Downs, the track bugler her alded the racing debut of Mary Clayson, a 32-year-old mother of two, with a rendition of Mame-her nickname. The girl jockeys are thriving on the ex posure like latter-day Lady Godivas. As of last week, they had finished in the money 25 times in 56 starts...

At year's end Katushev was in charge of the delegation from the Kremlin that made an inspection tour...
...Angeles enjoys the services of an official County Witch?a title conferred by the County Supervisor on Mrs. Louise Huebner, a thirtyish "third-generation astrologer and sixth-generation witch." Sorceress Huebner, who affects clinging outfits of silver for her increasingly frequent broadcasts and public appearances, made her official debut last July at a folk festival in the Hollywood Bowl, at which everyone was supplied with red candles, garlic and chalk and instructed to repeat after her three times: "Light the flame, bright the fire, red the color of desire." The spell was supposed to increase sexual vitality, and some reported...
