Mrs. America of 1963
Savs 'It's Been a Ball'
By JOAN SWEENEY I of capris, now I feel I have to

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. "Where I used to run

Complete with an elevator, an
outside patio, and a view of the
Potomac from a rooftop "cap
