One iludent who li exception to that crltlcum li 14-year-old farm girl who yes terday won the national spelling bee. How did she become such a proficient speller? The follow ing United Press International dispatch gives the answer.) By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - Jolitta Schlehuber, 14, lives on a farm and attends a two-room country scnool near Mcl'herson, Kan. Yet she can spell words that would stump many a college graduate and probaby quite a few doctors of philosophy. Her spelling prowess carried her inursday to the championship of the National Spelling Bee when she correctly spelled "propylae- um ana "syllepsis. What was the secret of her suc cess? Encouraging parents who played word games with her and showed her that spelling could be lun even while drying the dishes. Rural school training by two teachers there are only two at the 20-student school she attends who stressed spelling for all their students but fed Jolitta's special interest with extracurricu lar spelling lists, rhyming diction aries and other word books. An interest in reading that takes precedence over television. She watches TV only once or twice a week. When Jolitta copped the national spelling championship Thursday, she walked away with a $1,000 cash prize, a trophy cup and ex pense money for a weekend in New York. Her mother, Mrs. Milton Schle huber, a kindergarten teacher, was all smiles. Mrs. Schlehuber said Jolitta be came a spelling bug" when her tnunn-graae teacher, now retired, Mrs. James Knight of Knobnoster. Mo., gave the youngster her first real spelling list to "keep, her busy." But Mrs. Schlehuber had inter ested Jolitta in snelline even he- fore that. When Jolitta was 6 and 7. she and her mother used to play "railroad spelling" to pass me lime wnue doing household chores together. In railroad spelling, one snells a word and his opponent has to minx ot and spell another word that begins with the last letter of the previous word. The game be comes difficult when the previous wore is one line "ox. Jolitta's father also keeps his daughter in form by tossing diffi cult words at her to spell. Jolitta said gleefully she couldn'Uwait to tell him that the word "triturate" came up in this year's bee. He had heard his dentist use it last winter it means pulverize) and asked Jolitta then if she knew it. She didn't then. Jolitta said that "association" is one of her best helns in spell ing. "Like exaggerate," she ex plained. "It has two g's so you exag-g-e-r-a-t-e." Ship Departure NEW YORK (AP) A strike hvli 46 engineers held ud the linpr united Mates eight hours yester day.
