Monday, November 11, 1957
Salem Chaperoning a uni
versity function was the first
date four years ago for Miss An
toinette Kuzrnanich (Coos'man'
ich ryhmes with rich) and Sec
retary of State Mark Hatfield
who announced their engage
ment Saturday.
The couple was seen together
frequently on legislative occa
sions in the 1953 session. In 1954
Miss Kuzrnanich was a member
of a Student International Trav
el association group of 15 which
toured eleven European coun
tries under the direction of the
Secretary, then a State Repre
sentative. Miss Kuzrnanich then
took two years of graduate study
at Stanford university.
A vivacious personality, Miss
Kuzrnanich has flashing dark'
eyes, black hair, enjoys cooking,
and is an enthusiastic sports fan
dating back to the days her un
cle, John Leovich, was a foot
ball and baseball star for the
Oregon State College Beavers
and later played professionally.
During her student days at the
University of Oregon and as a
member of the faculty at Grant
High school in Portland and
Portland State college she has
attended football and basketball
games whenever possible.
The couple can look forward
to a heavy schedule of travel,
banquets and social occasions.
The Secretary is in great de
mand as a speaker before a wide
variety of organizations.
Where the couple will live af
ter their summer wedding hasn't
been determined but they have
done some houselooking in" Sa
lem, where he is required by
the constitution to reside. Their
tastes are remarkably similar
and they hope to find "an older
house with lots of room which
we can fix up." They both treas
ure antique furnishings.
The couple has chosen a tur
quoise blue Florentine Wedge
wood china pattern. The ring
Miss Kuzrnanich wears is plain
diamond, one carat, high tiffany,
six prong with a gold band.
She will complete the school
year as counselor for women at
Portland State college.
The marriage will unite the
daughter of a naturalized Yugo
slavian immigrant who married
a Portland girl 30 years ago this
coming summer. Hatfield's par
ents were born in California and
Tennessee, his father serving 35
years as a railroad construction
blacksmith for Southern Pacific,
his mother teaching home eco
nomics in junior high school for
many years. They will observe
their 38th wedding anniversary
November 22.

Singer Loses Weight
To Appear On Show
By WILLIAM EWALD
United Press Correspondent
' New York (IP Merv Grif
fin, a singer who used to be fat
and happy, is currently slim and
hungry.
"I used to weigh 245 pounds.
I used to eat anything I wanted
to," recalled Griffin with a
smack of his lips. "You can im
agine how I looked. "I'm five-feet-nine."
"In fact, I was so fat early
in my career that when I was
with this local show in San
Francisco, they used to bill me
as the "Mystery Singer." The
station was too embarrased to
send out my picture."
Griffin, lulled into semi
somnolence by the blissful per
kings of his digestive system was
unruffled by this treatment. But
he did take pause one morning
when he was called to appear
on a local breakfast show with
another singer, Joan Edwards.
"Well, Joan heard me sing
and she said 'Merv, you sing
the end, but the blubber's got
to go,' " recalled Griffin.
Too Fat for Her
"Then two days later, this
elderly lady fan came up to me
and when she found out who I
was, she shrieked 'But you're
so fat!" I think she got a little
hysterical about it because she
kept saying it over and over."
Griffin was, as another musi
cal observer has put it, all shook
up. "I decided maybe I better
trim some of it off television
was beginning to come in around
then, too, and I figured my fat
had had it," he said.
"I did it the hard way
nothing but steaks, eggs and
cottage cheese. I knocked off 11
pounds the first week. I got so
enthusiastic after that, I almost
ended up on lettuce leaves."
Griffin hacked off 90 pounds
in four months, a feat roughly
comparable to negotiating the
Sahara in roller skates. -
"The terrible thing about
sticking to a diet in show bus
iness is that the people in it are
the greatest eaters in the world"
he said. "Everybody's always
eating during rehearsals, be-
toys, dolls, others. Send 25 cents

"And then, of course, when
you're out of work, it's even
worse. You have nothing to do
but eat. I was a liberty for one
point last year and ballooned to
180 pounds."
Griffin, 30, a native of San
Mateo, Calif., is currently run
ning a daily evening radio show
of his own on the American
Broadcasting network. The list
ening audience never gets a
chance to glimpse his svelte fig
ure, but Griffin doesn't mind too
much.
"Sure, I'm a little sad about
not being fat anymore I lov
ed eating, I loved the booming
laugh I used to have and I loved
the way girls used to love me.
No kidding, girls like fat men
better than thin ones, I've
found," he said.
"But, then, being thin has its
advantages, too. Now I can dance
the mambo without being con
spicious and it's also possible
for me to get my arms around
a girl. But man, am I hungry."

"I get a bubble out of playing
some guy s wife, she said.
"However, while most of these.
eight guys still have some ro
mance left in their souls, I give
them back to their own wives
at the end of the working day.
Gee, I think most of them are
married and have about eight or
nine kids."
Miss Avery said she has nev
er met any of her co-stars' real
wives. She also said she doesn't
plan to seek out any of them.
"It might be a little awkward,"
she said.
The actress said her wife roles
have permitted her to wear a
wide range of clothing from
strictly kitchen attire to an eve
ning dress. She also donned ma
ternity cloth's for one teleplay.
Her most frequent television
is Ray Milland, with whom she
performed in about 80 programs
in "The Ray Milland Show." She
said they got to know each other
quite well.
"We really got sort of used
to each other," she said. "We
were very casual. He's very
charming and would make a
good husband in fact, he is
married."
MLs Avery said she has done
additional wiving in motion pic

Charlton Heston and Dan Dail

asked :f she'll play Ralph Meek

tion "The Brass Section." She's
thinking it over right now.
The actress' personal life in
cludes one marriage, two daugh
ters and a divorce. "But I guess
I still look the way a young wife
is supposed to," she said. "I just
keep playing one wife after an
other. "My former husband he's
