She wrote few songs. When Meridian honored the-memory of Jimmie Rodgers with a monument several year ago, the words and music of one of Mrs. McWilliams' songs, "Home Call," were inscribed in the marble. And, last year, she, sang a recent composition dur- ing the annual Jimmie Rodgers' Festival at his Mississippi home town. Its title: "If Jimmie Hodgers Could Be Here Today." Hardly a day goes by that some Jimmie Rodgers fan doesn't call on Mrs.

McWilliams. Fans come from all over the United States, Europe and Australia, she said. And, she proudly noted that recordings of her songs still sell briskly. She suffers from arthritis, but Mrs. McWilliams still strums the guitar Rodgers gave her, and she plays and sings a spirited rendition of "Mississippi River Blues" at the piano.

But, she isn't interested in writing songs any more. "I don't have a Jimmie Rodgers to sing them," she said. On an auto trip from Washington to New York, Mrs. McWilliams recalled, Rodgers talked "about his daddy and home, 0 I wrote that song." "We talked about his little old home in New Orleans he lived down there for awhile and I wrote that one," she said. Mrs.

McWilliams remembered writing one of Rodgers' most popular numbers as vividly as if it happened yesterday. "Sister Carrie was so happy (about Rodgers' success) that she cooked a nice turkey dinner," said Mrs. McWilliams. "Jimmie came in and had his guitar in his hand. He put his arm around Carrie and said, "Darling, with you and my old guitar, I've got the stars in my Mrs.

McWilliams said she went-immediately to the piano and composed "You and My Old Guitar." Elsie McWilliams learned music as a girl. She played the organ for revivals at the Methodist Protestant Church of Har-persville, when her father was its pastor. She was so young, someone else had to pump it. But, she never could convince Jimmie Rodgers to learn music. "I don't want to see your notes," he would tell her.

"Just play it and sing it for me." Mrs. Elsie McWilliams wrote many country favorites is sister-in-law of late Jimmy Rodgers Smokers shun 'Family' tops ratings MERIDIAN, Elsie McWilliams wrote her first country music hit almost half a century ago, she wasn't interested in the money. She just wanted to help her brother-in-law, Jimmie Rodgers, "make a living for Sister and the baby." Rodgers, the first country music singer to gain a national following and reputation, was married to Mrs. McWilliams' sister, Carrie. First song Mrs.

McWilliams wrote was "A Sailor's Plea." She wrote it only after Rodgers insisted that she help him. Eventually, she composed 38 numbers for Rodgers, many of them top hits. They helped clinch for Rodgers the title of of Country Music." The list of country classics attributed to her include Rodgers' immortal "Waitin' for the Train," plus "You and My Old Guitar," "Home Cal," "Lullaby Yodel" and "Hobo Bill's Last Ride." For some of her songs, Mrs. McWilliams received $50. For others, she simply gave them to Rodgers in return for trips to Washington and New York.

After Rodgers' success had been assured, she returned to Meridian to take care of her family. Now 79, Mrs. McWilliams and her invalid husband still live in Meridian in a home filled with reminders of Jimmie Rodgers. Often in her hands is a guitar Rodgers gave her. And, she has a mint-condition collection of 78-rpm disks of Rodgers' more than 100 songs, scores of photographs and other memorabilia.

Ideas for songs came from "here and yonder." "They often came from conversation," she said. "When an idea hit me, I would have to write it down that minute, or it would get away." at Liles Memorial Library with Dr. Everett Veach, an orthopedic surgeon, as speaker.

NEW YORK (AP) For the seventh time in nine weeks, CBS' "AH in the Family" has come out as the nation's most-popular evening show in the audience samples of the A.C. Nielsen Co. Last week's Nielsen ratings, made public Wednesday, also had good news for ABC-TV, enjoying its best season ever after years of running third in the national ratings.

The Nielsen figures said ABC was No. 1 in the weekly ratings averages last week for second time since the season began in September. A big help was ABC's second showing this year of the movie "Walking Tall," which last week was the nation's second highest-rated program. It did slightly better in the ratings than when it first was broadcast in March this year. According to last week's Nielsens, the nation's 20 highest-rated evening programs were "All in the Family" (CBS); "Walking Tall" (ABC Sunday Movie); "Phyllis" (CBS); "The Six Million Dollar Man" (ABC); "Rhoda" (CBS); "Sanford and Son" (NBC); "Maude" and "Mary Tyler Moore" (Both CBS); "Little House on the Prairie" (NBC); "Happy Days' and "Welcome Back, Kotter" (bothXBC); "Good Times" and "Bob Newhart" (both CBS); "Emergency" (NBC "The Waltons" (CBS); "Paul Lynde Special" (ABC); "Carol Burnett" (CBS); "Starsky and Hutch" (ABCl'Cannon" (CBS); and "The Rookies" (ABC).

(AP) -Veteran smokers confronted with gory pictures of blackened lungs and other scare tactics are more likely to puff harder than quit, says a University of Michigan psychiatrist. Gardner Quarton says this is because most started smoking in adolescence to hide their social fears and such sensational evidence of smoking's effects revives daring feelings they learned from their adolescent peers. Years after adolescence, smokers respond to scare tactics with the same "I'm a man" or "I'm tough and you can't scare me with that" reaction they had as adolescents, Quarton told a conference of writers Tuesday.

By imitating "cool'' and self-assured friends, many adolescent smokers disguise their social awkwardness and uncertainty behind the bravado of smoking, he said. That early reward keeps them" smoking, he said, even though the actual pleasure declines and the emotional and physical pain of breaking the trap and kicking the habit increases with time. -4 'OVA' DANCE TO THE If AHlTllfllM Open 6:15 Show 7:00 Clbris Leachman is "Crazy -Plus- (R) FEATURING L0RETTA WILSON VOCALIST BYNUM AMERICAN ANGZE I DXCXXNSON LEGION CLUB L. 1220 Noble Street cj II I SAT.
