KLAMATH FALLS; OREGON -yl PAGE rSVEN Do-lt-Yourself Projects Come Under Expert Care United Frees guff torrorondeat NEW YORK (DP) If "The Per. lis o( Pauline" were rewritten to day, li just might be the saga of pretty housewife mired in dis couragement in the middle of her own do-it-yourself projects. There Is no one around who (hints a woman can't paint her own kitchen ceiling butt there are Myrt Expected To Try $64,000 NEW YORK (UP) Mrs. Myrtle Power, baseball's ' new Georgia peach, untangled herself from half a dozen good luck charms today and Indicated she would shoot for pennant money on TV's "The 64,- 000 question." , Myrt, bolstered by a four-leaf clover, an Indian head penny, a turkey wishbone, an Oriental sta tuette, a lucky necklace and a jade ring, reached the 133,000 level on the giveaway show by swatting her way through a baseball query. Next week, the bouncy -70-year- oldster, from Buford. Ga . can re tire with her winnings or' try to aouDie tnem. , , But Myrt left little doubt:. she would go all the way. She revealed that she already was casting around for an expert to bring to the CBS-TV program next Tuesday. Under the rules of the show, Myrt can tote in a help er li sne decides to go tor the Dig question. Myrt wore her lucky dress. black silk number, for the third time on the show. .She said she would wear it again next week. "A ballplayer doesn't change his underwear during a winning streak," explained Myrt, i"So I'm not gome to change my dress." - The question pitched at her dealt with the seven ballolavers who col lected more than 3,000 hits during their major league careers. Myrt was asked to supply the six aside from Ty Cobb, the old Georgia peach. ;-. . . - "Cap Anson, Trls Speaker, Hans wagner, Eddie Collins, Nap La- Jole," she said and then added. jraui vvaner. - , - a number of learned painters who kdmit that a lot of paint has fallen on pretty faces while the amateur painter was learning bow. So now we are entering a new phase of ' do-it-yourselfism. More people who are experts are trying to see that homeowners have more places to turn for help when they get into trouble. "First the amateur must over come his or her reluctance to. ask for detailed instructions," a paint demonstrator at a new do-it-your- a man, .especially, will lust buy a can of -paint and walk out with it because be is embarrassed to re veal how little he knows." Many people get started to the first bloom of enthusiasm," said an executive of a ' laminated plastic covering manufacturer. "When the bloom fades they find it is more 01 a lob then they thought. That is where the . professional should be willing to step in and help the homeowner tuiish the loo. ' This expert said he felt that pro fessional workers, at first inclined to resent the surge of Interest in learning certain building and dec orating skills by homeowners, now were adopting a more realistic at titude. They realized, he said, that do-it-yourself projects often repre sented redecorating or building that the homeowner never would have started if it meant hiring a profes sional. And an expert with a kindly attitude could make a tidv living completing the ambitious attempts that go awry. A savings bank in mldtown Man hattan - opened a do-it-yourself show here this week with daily demonstrations of various projects wallpapering, painting, making slip covers and installing tricky traverse curtain rods. A well-dressed man watched in fascination as a girl demonstrator casually slapped a length of wall paper on a plywood backdrop. He wasn't a struggling young married man trying to cut corners but a successful vice president of a large oommercial real estate firm who liked to relax on weekends by dec orating a recently bought house in the country.. . "If that girl can do It, I guess I1 can," he said. "And if I get a lot of wallpaper and find I can't do it, then I'm sure my wife can. She s handier than I am." Vicki Remains In Seclusion CHARLOTTE.- N.C. I if Vicki the elephant could read the news papers, she might be inclined to show herself again to her pursuers. Not that she wants to be recap tured. 8ince she took off 11 days ago from her amusement park home, there's been no indication she wants to leave her woodland hideaway six miles frum downtown Charlotte. V.t'.louu'h hunters know generally where the 6-year-old In dian elephant is, she hasn't shown herself for a few day.". Yesterday she lost a l eadline to another runaway. A luu-pound Hereford steer, on the wey to the Charlotte slaughterhouse, leaped off his truck and bolted. Policemen on motorcycles, in patrol cars and on foot chased the steer through a residential area and finally shot him down after he charged a couple of officers. Elephant exoert Louis Reed of the Ringling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey Circus think? he can coax Vicki out li he can find her.
