...thousands of bright-cheeked 4-H* Club members, a grand championship at a big livestock show is a headier dream than flying a rocket to the moon. Last week, at the top-billed International Live Stock Exposition at Chicago's International Amphitheater, the coveted purple ribbon went to Lone Star, a Hereford owned by 18-year-old Sue White of Big Spring, Texas, the third girl to win the award in the show's 54-year history...
