Maybe all that will "I never figured on winning," admitted Miss Jefferson, who defeated such competitors as Mary Jo Peppier, Olga Korbut, Chris Evert and Evonne Goolagong. "Everyone kept telling me that I was as good as any of the other women competing, but I didn't stand a 4-H Girls To Attend Clinic CLEMSON Blue ribbon fashion winners from South Carolina 4-H Clubs will gather in Columbia June 17-18 for the annual 4-H Fashion Clinic. The event is Jointly sponsored by the South Carolina Textile Manufacturers Association, Deering Milliken and the Clemson University Extension Service. "Four top instructors from fashion-related fields will be special guests," says clothing specialist Judith Kline of Clemson, coordinator for the clinic.

They are Rory Mackell, a fashion associate for Deering Milliken; Millie Lewis, fashion coordinator for Sears and a former International Model of the Year; Rosa Jackson, hair stylist and owner of the Columbia Beauty College; and Mary Bethea, director of Waverly School of Beauty Culture. Lab sessions in design and construction of garments, introduction to new products and a tour of the Barnwell Division of Deering Milliken will spark the active two-day clinic. The 4-H'ers attending the meeting will include: Lana Gassaway, Abbeville County; Sheryl Hooper, Edgefield County; Sandra Watson, Greenwood County. chance now." As the woman Sport of the Year, the 20-year-old Miss Jefferson was to have been flown to New York, where she would receive a new automobile and meet with Billie Jean King, publisher of women Sports. But due to a mix-up in Mrs.

King's schedule and because of an Amateur Athletic Union ruling, she received neither. "A few days before I was supposed to fly to New York, I received a letter saying that the trip had been canceled because Mrs. King would not be in town," she said during a telephone interview from her home in Toledo. "Then to top it all off, the A-AOsati 0,81 in order to keep my amateur status I could not accept any gifts in excess of $100." While Miss Jefferson is playing for a professional team, she has maintained an amateur status by receiving only expenses. "I thought it would be all right if I got the car and donated it to a relative or to the team," she continued, "but the A.A.U.

informed me that to accept the car, despite my intentions of donating it to charity, would be the same as if I were to keep it myself." She prefers to keep her amateur status, despite the attractive offer of a new car, because she hopes to become enough of an attraction to compete in the women's Superstars event. That would end her amateur career. And while many point to her accomplishments on the gridiron last season she averaged 19 yards a carry, rushed for 965 yards and scored 17 touchdowns she has said that winning the Superstars event would be her biggest and most cherished accomplishment as an athlete. Mrs. Charles Mqthis Ann Wideman Couple Weds May 24 Hard Liquor Hits Her Like Terrible Poison By Abigail Van Buren (c) 1975 by Chicago Newi Inc.

DEAR ABBY Do you have a paragraph or a phrase that would make me think twice when I am tempted to take a drink? I am not a heavy drinker. In fact, I hardly ever drink at all, but when I do, it hits me hard. I made a fool of myself again last night, and I am sick of it. I've done that only five times in my life, and it only happens when I am out with friends. The next day when I wake up, I haVe to depend on other people to tell me what I did.

If I had just one meaningful phrase to keep me from weakening and having a drink with my friends, I would carry it with me. A Bible is too big to carry around. I am 20. Thank you. FOOLISH GIRL DEAR GIRL: When you are faced with temptation, tell your friends that hard liquor is "poison" to yon and that you cannot drink it.

Then silently pray: "Oh, Lord, give me the strength I need right now," and quickly pour yourself a non-alcoholic beverage. After one sip, pray again: "Thank you, Lord. I made Try it, and let me know the results. I care. DEAR ABBY: A letter in your column has caused me to drop my campaign to get the letter removed from the dictionary and transferred to where it belongs.

I kwickly discovered that I might be dead before anyone would even be interested. Now I would like to start a campaign to get all people to kwit using the phrase "made love" when they mean "had sex." I am irritated beyond words when I read that "a couple met at a party, went to a motel and made love." It's an insult to the act of lovemaking! What they did was have sex. Love had nothing to do with it. 1 Before I risk wasting my time on this campaign, please tell me if you think I have a point. VAL (MASCULINE) DEAR VAL: You have a point, but whether it's worthy of a campaign raises another question.

I plead not guilty. When I mean "They had sex," I don't say, "They made DEAR ABBY: I have an 18-year-old daughter who has a beautiful baby girl. My daughter and her husband are getting a divorce because he is so immature, there is just no hope for him. (She went back to him twice for the baby's sake, but even the marriage counselor told her to leave him for good.) My daughter's mother-in-law wants to adopt the baby. She even offered my daughter $2,000 cash for it! My daughter wants to keep her baby, of course, and the baby's father doesn't want it.

He wants his mother to have it. What do you think about a grandmother who would try to BUY her grandchild for adoption? MARSHALL, TEXAS DEAR MARSHALL: Not much. In fact, there are laws against buying and selling babies. Your daughter is under no obligation to consider such a proposition. The citizens of Toledo, Ohio, share her conviction.

So they staged an effective get-out-and vote campaign to select Miss Jefferson as the woman Sport of the The contest, sponsored by women Sports magazine, was the perfect opportunity, according to one Toledo fan, for Miss Jefferson and the league to get attention.
