...young woman with high principles. In this day and age, when so much glamor is attached to the "Hollywood type," it is refreshing to see this example shown by our Princess, who is mature enough to know the importance of duty to church and family. JUNE L. HORNBY Lincoln...
...Mamie drove slowly along Constitution Avenue in a Plexiglas-topped Lincoln, Ike broke his doctors' orders and waved strenuously to thousands of spectators lined along the curbs.

Armstrong, at any rate, organized a syndicate (of which he owned 60%) and bought the Roberts-Vitali team for $1,128.30. Later, he put the two strangers up for the night, paid their entrance fee, lent them a Lincoln convertible, helped them out with a little pocket money, and was even kind enough to take care of their caddie fees. They responded by winning the tournament with net scores of 57 and 58, a total of 27 under...
