Courier-Post from Camden, New Jersey • Page 2

Camden, N. Thursday, June 12, 1952 By Jake Weiner REAL JERSEY PEACH: When she was nine, she won a Charming Child contest and her smiling face appeared in many newspapers. When she was 14, her high school chums voted her May -although she was only a sophomore. When she was 15, she won a cover girl contest staged by Harry Conover, the beauty expert and model agency whiz. As a result, her photo smiled prettily from the cover of a national magazine.

When she was 16, she was named the best looking girl in a local beauty contest and was crowned Miss Community. Now 20 and a stunning brunette, she has just been chosen as Miss New Jersey for the Miss Universe contest to be staged shortly in California. The beauty? She's Ruth Hampton, one of the loveliest and most curvaceous dishes ever to come out of Merchantville. And if you think we're kidding, take a gander at her statistics. She's five-foot-three, weighs 118, and has sparkling blue eyes.

In street clothes, she's a honey. In sport togs, she's a knockout. But in a bathing suit -WOW! When clad in a form-fitting swim suit, she looks just like the gorgeous gal who appears on billboards and mag. azines in an advertisement sponsored by a nationally known bathing apparel firm. And there's a very good reason for the resemblance.

The girl in the adshappens to be Ruth. It's no trouble figuring out how she landed the modeling job. For in a swim suit, Ruth looks just the way every guy wishes his gal looked. Her figure has more curves than a road map. Speaking about figures, Ruth is pretty handy with them.

We're refer ring, of course, to the figures that you RUTH add and subtract, Ruth, you see, works in the Bell Telephone accounting department. It's her job to figure out how much dough you have to fork over each month for telephone calls. That job takes a lot of concentration. But the judges didn't have to concentrate very long when they were selecting a beauty to represent New Jersey in the international contest. The judges took one glance at Ruth posed in a trim swim suit.

They did a double take, gulped, uttered a low whistle, then nodded their heads -vigorously. Those nods meant that Ruth will fly to Long Beach, to participate in the Miss Universe pageant, slated for June 23 to 29. The Merchantville beauty's reaction when told the wonderful news? It was the same as in the other beauty contests she has won. "I was just lucky," she laughed. But her proud parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Edmund Hampton, of 18 Merwit Court, weren't that calm. They were bubbling over with excitement and pride, "I hope she wins I hope she wins," Ed, who is a Mer. chantville patrolman, kept repeating. And, Life Hereabouts would like to add, so does all South Jersey.

IN BRIEF: It looks like Burlington's Lt. Col. Bill Doyle (he's the National Guardsman) has the inside track this year for election as State American Legion commander. He's getting backing from all over the state New Jersey has one of the lowest draft rejection records in the nation. Nearly 45 percent of the nation's draft eligible men examined since 1948, Draft Director Lewis B.

Hershey announced, have been rejected. South Carolina had the highest over-all rejection rate, 63.2 percent. New Hampshire was the lowest with 27.1 percent. And New Jersey was next with 27.3 percent. Which means New Jersey's youths are really healthy.

New prexy of the East Camden Lions Club is John Murphy. He'll be installed June 24 at the Sports Center Heading the Cerebral Palsy drive in Delaware Township is Mrs. Daniel Dunlevy. TODAY'S BRIGHT REMARK (from a Mullica Hill reader): "Many a man has acquired a huge vocabulary by marrying it." IN SHORT: The Westville Firemen's Band will stage its first outdoor concert June 26. Harold Barber is the bandmaster Burlington County Bar Association will stage its annual picnic June 27 Collingswood's Civil Defense Council will try out its new air raid signal tonight.

So don't be alarmed when it goes off A Doodlebug Derby (that's a fancy name for a model auto race) will be staged in Pitman on the Fourth of July. It's being sponsored by the Youth Counselling Committee and the Rotary Club. Youngsters from 10 to 14 are eligible Ceremonies marking the 133d anniversary of Walt Whitman's birth were held the other day. But how come they've never honored the famous poet by naming a Camden school after him? TODAY'S CUTE STORY: An inquisitive moppet, all of 6, walked up to her mother one day and asked: "Mommy, do fairy tales always begin with, "Once upon a time'?" "No, dear," her mother sighed, "Sometimes they begin with, 'My love, I'll be detained at the office tonight'." Emotional Illness Called Very Real RUTH Symptoms of illnesses experienced by persons under emotional strain are very real, Dr. H.

E. Yaskin, director of Camden County Mental Hospital, told the Camden Lions Club at its weekly luncheon Wednesday. "It is most unfair to tell them they are Imagining their ills and to forget them," he told the group at Kenney's restaurant. "They must learn to understand why they are sick." Dr. Yaskin said recent studies show 50 percent of persons going doctors have at one time or another had illnesses which were emotionally conditioned.

He said the medical profession realizes the importance of the psychosomatic field. Dr. Yaskin touched on the his- LEONARD FUNERAL HOMES 1451 BROADWAY, CAMDEN, 10 WHITE HORSE PIKE NADDON NTS, IL.L WOodlown 3-31321 Phone Had.

Russell, a for the Democratic Presidential nomination, suggested in a letter to Mr. Truman that military experts from India, Pakistan and Indonesia be sent to Koje to check on Allied treatment of Red prisoners. The President, in his letter to Lovett, added Sweden and Switzerland to the list. Mistreatment Charged Russia has charged that the United Nations has not treated Red island in prisoners on accordance the strife torn Geneva Convention.

The Kremlin based its accusations on the recent riots in several prison compounds on Koje. agreed, that the best way to Russell said, and Mr. Truman prove the falsity of these charges is to ask neutral nations to take a look. Some political observers inter. preted Mr.

Truman's prompt and public endorsement of Russell's proposal as a prestige boost for the Presidential aspirant. However, they still saw no chance that Mr. Truman would support Russell's candidacy because of their conflicting views on civil rights legislation.

Before the windup hearing, Boykin admitted the New York Port Authority, after which the Delaware River project is modeled, was "a successful operation and of great benefit to both New York and North Jersey."
