Six Flags Hit
ByWomen's Lib
This Women's Lib hysteria
may be just about the greatest
thing that ever happened to
males. Especially if they're girl
watchers.
This was an opinion quickly
reached the other day at Six
Flags over Texas, the amuse-
ment park—the owners like to
call it a "theme park," which it
is.
Out in the middle of the park-
ing lot was an attractive young
blonde waving her arms wildly
and pointing. She was a park-
ing attendant, a job once held
here only by young men.
Inside, on one of the train
rides, who was the engineer?
Another young woman. This
brownette ran things with a
sure hand. Train didn't jump
the track once, which is a bet-
ter record than some of the vet-
eran big-train engineers have.
But most liberating of all—if
you want to call it that—was
the discovery that the street
sweepers this year are females.
Somehow it seems that liber-
ating women to sweep streets—
actmlly the walkways here—is
PHARMACY
TOPICS
Lung cancer kills five times
as many women who are heavy
smokers as non-smoking wo-
men.

Popeye notwithstanding, eat-
ing spinach doesn't give ins-

from the iron in spinach would
require weeks or months to
take effect.

A university study has found
that a combination of alcohol
and morphine may be a valua-

Russina pharmacologists are
making an antibiotic drug from
garlic, and claim that it has
no harmful side effects, as do
a number of other antibiotic

Contrary to a commonly-held
belief, cosmetic creams and

going a little &r, although
women have been doing this in
Moscow for ages. It's just not
in the gallant tradition.
Yet this particular group of
young famale engineers, car at-
tendants and sweepers do not
seem to lose their feminity.
They wore lipstick, smiled at
everyone and were garbed in
such outfits as mini-skirts and
hot pants, and you don't hardly
ever see male engineers, etc.,
dressed like that. We hope nev-
er.
So it's doubtful if the femi-
nine employes at Six Flags are
very Women's Lib, if a* all. Yet
the view is much improved.
The whole Women's Lib
movement is causing some
strange results.
Take the use of the word
"Ms." which the libs insist on
using in the place of "Miss or
"Mrs."
Have been listening to the
golden voice on radio and tele-
vision pronounce 'Ms."—and
they are professionals at pro-
nouncing words.
The sound comes out 'Miz."
If anyone west of Harvard
University procounces "Mrs."
anything but "miz" he will be
accused of trying to impress
people with his superior erudit-
ign.
The dictionary says to pro-
nounce "Mrs." "misiz" but
that ends up on most lips as
nearer the plural of "Miss"
than anything else.
Send "Ms." back to the Wom-
en's Lib drawing board.
Lois Lauer Wolfe, editor of
the "Press Woman," publica-
tion of the National Federation
of Press Women, Inc., has
banned "Ms." from the maga-
zine.
Yet no one who read the sto-
ry of the ban in "Editor and
Publisher" knows whether Lois
Lauer Wolfe is a "Mrs." or a
"Miss." The writer of the air
tide was very careful to avoid
any hint.
SaidMissor Mrs. Wolfe, "We
print news, not literary crea-
tions of social etiquette."
One of the aims of the libbers
is equality of job opportunity
and suddenly they're finding
that this works two ways.
This is particularly noticeable
recently in the airline business.
Down at Miami the other
day, Pan American pinned
wings on 16 men. To be pilots?
No, to be stewards, taking the
place of some of those pretty
stewardesses that have been
the joy of passengers for dec-
ades.
Stewards really aren't new.
Braniff International, for in-
stance, has used them all along
on certain South American
flights.
But a spokesman for Pan Am
said, "All of the aviation in-
dustry has been affected by the
eqiBl opportunity movement.
We've been getting hundreds of
male applications in the last
year. They're saying, Tf the
women want in men's fields,

why can't men get in women's
fields." The airline plans to
have 80 stewards on the job
shortly.
Not that the 80 will cause
much of a dent in the steward-
ess' job chances, for Pan Am
has nearly 5,000 females fluff-
ing passengers' pillows, feeding
them and serving drinks.
One of the females who
proved her equality with men
in almost all fields was the late
great Babe Didrikson Zaharias,
Texas' own and voted Woman
Athlete of the Century.
Babe was always joining the
boys in a game— professional
baseball, golf, things like that.
But she did it as a gag, all in
good fun. It is doubtful that she
would have joined the Women's
Lib. She created her own equal-
ity.
Despite all the talk of the lib-
bers, there is no evidence that
they came to the defense of a
Mr. Robert Buchanan m of
Buchanan evidently hit a
woman. He was convicted and
sentenced to six long months
behind bars.
Turns out there is a law in
Texas making it a more serious
penalty to strike a woman than
to strike a man! Is that equal?
Buchanan didn't think so and
took it to the Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals, complaining
that the constitutional rule of
equal protection under the law
is violated by the Texas stat-
ute.
The appeals court ruled
recently that the law was
aimed at preventing serious
bodily injury.
Added the court; "It is a
matter of common knowl-
edge...that women, as a general
rule, are of smaller physical
stature and strength than are
men.
"While the state ... undoub-
tedly fails to achieve its ob-
jective in every instance, as,
for example, is likely in the case
