(Ucept Saturday) Mrs. America of 1963 Savs 'It's Been a Ball' By JOAN SWEENEY I of capris, now I feel I have to United Press International be more careful about how I Los Angeles (UPD In the; look because I'm supposed to six months since Marilyn be representing the housewives Mitchell was crowned Mrs. ol America America of 1063, she has logged nearly 80,000 air miles. And for the San Diego housewife, who had never been out of Cali fornia before, it has been a ball. Mrs. Mitchell is billed as the nation's "Number One Home maker," and she has found the description generates consider able interest among women when she makes personal ap pearances across the country in connection with her title. "Many women come out to see me just out of curiosity," she said. "In one small mid western town, a woman came up to me and said, 'My bridge club sent me to find out what you have that we don't'." Mrs. Mitchell, the wife of R. Lylc Mitchell, a marketing personnel supervisor for a tele phone company, won the Mrs. America title on the basis of homemaking skills, community service, poise, personality and appearance. And It's obvious to even a casual observer that the brown-haired, brown-eyed moth er of three scores high marks in tho latter three departments. She reveals her age as 36 without the slightest hesitancy. "I never mind telling my age," she said, "because each year is better than the year be fore." Visits Hamlets, Cities On her junkets in connection with her title, Mrs. Mitchell has visited hamlets and America's largest cities. As a lifetime resident of sca sonlcss southern California, she found one of her biggest thrills on a recent visit to Connecticut. She saw her first autumn. Although her trips take her away from her children Kirk,, a- Rntlncv. 10 and Shelly, 12 her travels have been an edu cation for them too. "They have got a tremendous geography lesson out of it," she aid. "They follow me on a globe and we talk about the areas 1 visit. I try to bring back something from each section. "It's like having a traveling saleswoman for a mother," she added. Mrs. Mitchell has firm ideas on raising her children. "I believe they snouia nave equal amounts of love and dis cipline," she said. "It's very difficult to fight new trends, but I believe in slicking to a deci sion if It Is right and proper for the child. 1 think a child really wants discipline and feels more secure If he receives it." And as far as Mrs. America is concerned, her husband is the titleholder at home. Mini Hcnil of House "I believe very strongly the man is the head of the house. Somebody has to be the one who answers when the children are involved. The child must know who the head of the house is." Mrs. Mitchell was talked into entering the Mrs. America con test by a women's club. "I was very reluctant be cause I felt I didn't have n chance and It would be dis appointing to them. They talked me into it and I'm so glad." Since she won the. title, her autograph has become popular among her children's class mates. On one of the requests, however, her son asked for a special inscription to go with the autograph. She found out why Inter the recipient had paid him 15 cents for it. Mrs. Mitchell takes her job as Mrs. America seriously: "I have to be on my toes, she said.
