ESTAR-NEWS Thursday, June 13, 1968 money for presents and her own clothes while she was in her senior year of high school. She worked during noon hours, after school and Sat- housework I really enjoy," laughed. "I do all my own Ironing and really like it." Mary worked at a job which provided her with spending urdays at a drive-thru lunch spot. SHE'S BEEN driving her own car since she was a junior in high school. Her father, a retired Navy Lieutenant now employed as a drivers license examiner, foot the bill for her first car and subsequently helped her work a trade for a better automobile which was demolished in a crash during her senior year.

He replaced that with the 1961 aqua blue Falcon she now drives. The new queen has varied interests and hobbies. She considers herself an average student, but did well in high school Spanish classes and hopes to learn to converse in the language sufficiently to help communicate with Mexican-American chil for what may well be the busiest year of her life. After a full day spent in personal appearances on radio and television? posing for pictures and sitting for interviews she was enjoying a respite before embarking on a full schedule of similar appearances and her 12-day appearance at toe Southern California Exposition. She was packing away relics of her childhood and school days a collection of over 200 stuffed animals that "just grew" after being started with gifts from friends and relatives.

"I kept them for sentimental reasons," she said, seated among the vast collection of furry keepsakes. "But they really are in the way now, and I'm going to be so busy says she can't explain her interest. She looks forward to marrying "some day" but insists she and a boyfriend she has dated since the seventh grade, a student at San Diego State, are not "going steady" and have no plans to marry. The husband she selects could be employed In any field. WHITE COLLAR worker or truck driver, it would make no difference to Mary, if he were "doing what suits him, something he likes.

He'd be the one who would have to work at it, not Mary would work for a year or two perhaps after marriage, if needed, but after the children come "I'd rather be at home with them." Mary's getting ready today appearances as Fairest of the Fair. "I LIKE BEING around children. With so many nieces and nephews I can't help but like children, I've been with them so much. I think the playground recreation programs are important and good for children because it keeps them busy during the summer with something to do rather than roam the streets." Mary is faithful in her attendance at mass every Sunday at St. Pius church.

She is actively involved in her religion and last year taught the fourth grade religion class conducted at the church school two afternoons a week. She considers herself not a 'picayunish" housekeeper, but one who likes to keep things neat and have a place for everything. "I'M RESPONSIBLE for keeping my room clean, but I want it to be a room I can live in, too, and I don't have to pick up everything the moment it's used," she said. She's capable of preparing a complete dinner, and has frequently done so when she entertains, but usually the family cooking is done by her mother, whom she assists. "Ironing is the part of own parents is easy and natural.

No "generation gap" appears to exist in her home, she said, despite the wide differences in age. Mary said both her parents are patient, tolerant and easygoing but firm in their relationships with their children. Three of Mary's brothers and sisters range in age from 11 to 19 years her senior, while one sister, Rosemary, is two years older. One brother, who was 35, was killed last November when his Air Force plane crashed in Salinas, Kansas. OLDER BROTHERS are more helpful, Mary thinks, than those close in age who are inclined to be impatient with kid sisters and think their problems "silly." "Whenever I sit down to talk with my brothers they talk as if I were at their level, not like I was a child.

They are interested in my plans, and give me helpful suggestions," she said. Mary's working toward an associate of arts degree in recreational leadership and is ready to start work at the Imperial Beach recreation department this summer, when she is not making personal By JAN COTTEN The new Fairest of the Fair, Chula Vista's own queen, Mary Lamberton, is greatly concerned about children and they will figure prominently in her future. The youngest of six children and aunt to 20 nieces and nephews, the lovely dark-haired beauty, a former Catechism teacher, plans to work as a playground recreational leader and hopes eventually to have a family of four to six children of her own. ALTHOUGH SHE has no plans to marry right now, she already knows the qualifications a future husband must possess. He'll have to be the type person who likes children and understands their problems.

He'll have to be the kind who can go places and do things with his sons and also be able to put his foot down when he feels something is wrong. He'll be able to handle a family situation with understanding and sincerity. "Parents are the first persons a child should go to with their problems," Mary declared. "If you can't go to your parents there's something wrong!" MARY FEELS fortunate that communication with her San iego Exterminating Co.

MARY LAMBERTON'S title came after losing a few contests.

She was runnerup in the Miss Coronado contest in 1966, a title her sister Rosemary had held. She also was a runnerup in last year's Miss Chula Vista contest and in the Miss Teen-O-Rama contest. Her advice is to "try, try again. Win or lose, the contests are good experience. Girls can learn poise and the contest helps them to be more at ease among people." The new queen lives with her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Kelly Lamberton, at 771 Nolan Chula Vista. She moved here after her graduation in 1966 from Coronado High School where she was a song leader and served as vice president of the Senior Hi Y.

"I was scared to death," the five foot seven, 121 pound green eyed beauty recalled.

"It was the funniest feeling, hearing them call out the names the fifth place winner, the fourth, the third, then the second and then there's only one position left and you know it's you. "YOU FEEL KIND of like the blood is completely drained out and you are completely numb and you just wait and you see the girls step out and you expect, in a way, to hear someone else's name "But when they called mine, the first thing I did was hug the girl in front of me!" The new queen said it was "really hard" to talk two minutes about herself while wearing a one piece "hot pink" bathing suit identical to those the other contestants wore. She said she was "surprised" at a question put to her about what she would do and how she would feel if selected. "I Just said I would do whatever was asked of me EVERY ITEM TO CLEAR! SAYINGS? dren she will encounter in her work. She loves to ride horseback, enjoys water skiing and likes to swim in a pool but says the ocean is frightening to her.

At college she prefers to work at the organization of team sports rather than active participation herself. SHE ENJOYS both reading and writing poetry and prose, but says what she writes is only for herself. 'When I write it's usually when I want to be alone and want to express myself on paper. But it's entirely for myself, not for anyone else."
