DELAWARE COUNTY (PA.) DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1961 PAGE 8 WIFE SHARED MAN'S DREAM Earth's Fastest Car Meant Years of Sacrifice SPRAIN WILSON AP Newsfeaturcs Writer Lee Breedlove worked nights as a waitress, and payed the house hold expenses with her tips so that her intense young husband, Craig, could tinker with his car in the garage. In the winter when the garage was cold and days were too short, Craig brought parts of his car into the living room--its 10-foot air- ducts, for instance. And when Lee got home in the wee hours she crammed her 106- pound frame into these narrow ducts and rubbed down the in side fiberglass with steel wool. There were four years that she and the five youngsters stayed home and did without, and no one complained. The car's needs, all agreed, came first.

The car dominated their lives, but nobody drove it. Occasionally when slim, tan Lee needed to transport the children, she borrowed another from a friend. As for Lee and Craig, they got around on a motorcycle. No Installments Certainly their car outdid the best of status symbols in their West Los Angeles, community. Its cost is estimated at $250,000.

Yet the neighbors never saw it until Craig wheeled out his three- ton "Spirit of America" for its very important journey. Then crowds swarmed around the strange, streamlined thing. With three wheels, long nose and a cockpit, it resembles a wingless jet plane, and indeed is jet powered. With Craig at the wheel the car shot across the sand dunes of the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah on August 5, selling a world land record of 407:45, returning the speed title to America after 35 years, and justifying the un wavering faith of the Breedlove family. Ball of Speed Quiet, poised Lee remembers precisely that precious moment when their lives changed.

"I was at the timing stand watching a tiny ball in the distance growing larger and larger quickly as if somebody had thrown it towards me fast. Suddenly it was there, huge and noisy, and then gone. I was in a trance thinking, 'Oh, how and then the timer said, 'Well, that's the record both "I began to laugh, and I was crying too. I must have been in shock." When Lee numbly reached the halted car, she found Craig descending the cockpit ladder, issuing orders to his crew as mat- ter-of-factly as if he had pulled into a gas station. Photographers, reporters, radio and TV men converged, and ev- erylhing was to be different from then on in.

Reared with three brothers, Lee was a born tomboy, loving horses and cars. Even as a todtllcr she rode the course of a Fresno, speedway in her cousin's lap. She grew up understanding grouse monkeys and speed. When she met Craig, she not only understood but believed in his dream of a car with a 500-mile- an hour speed potential, one that could outstrip the 16-year-old record set by John Cobb of England in 1948. "I have always believed in il," she says simply.

Other people didn't. After their marriage, Craig raised by selling some property and other racing cars for his dream, but this was soon gone. He tried without success to borrow from friends and relatives. Discouraged, he abandoned his garage workshop and took a job. But he didn't give up.

Eventually, he developed a brochure and a model, and some convincing arguments about research a brought an oil company and a tire corporation to his financial rescue. "I can't say I didn't worry," Lee says of that important day when Craig entered the cockpit to travel faster lhan any man on earth. "But I re.a.lly didn't believe thai Craig would drive Ihe car if il were nol all righl." Now looking at the Breedlove name in big, bold headlines, and her husband's handsome, smiling picture in hundreds of newspapers, Lee says she has seen them all before, in her mind. "I used to dream Hbout how il would be for him someday, but I didn't think anyone would ever want to interview me." DEBORAH MUCH Moylan Girl Is Engaged MOYLAN--Dr. and Mrs.

Jacob Much, Idlewild Lane, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Deborah Irene Much, to Sterling A. Jones. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Jones, Shore Road, Linwood, N.J.

DEAR HELEN: I go with a boy who is real cute but spoiled.

He's an awful showoff. Anything for a laugh, that's him. At restaurants he puts sugar in the salt shakers, and piles up all the loose equipment like mustard and calchup jars and ash trays into teetering stacks to see how many he can balance before they fall. Our gang is getting thrown out of eat- HELEN HELP US 'Anything for Laughs Says Youth; Girlfriend Can't Laugh Off Antics ing her, Finally one day when she not only talked back, refused to do what I had asked (in a very nice way), but mimicked me. I had it.

I grabbed her and spanked her so hard my hand hurt for a couple of days (didn't have time to get the hair brush). She flounced into the bedroom and slammed the door and when I had simmered down I figured I'd set psychology back about 50 ing places because of him.

The other kids think he's great and are always wondering what crazy thing he'll 'do next, but they're not WITH him.

What should I do? MARY washed dishes without being asked. The next day she said, "Boy, Mom, you pack a mean wallop!" and we started giggling--the first time I had laughed WITH my daughter since this 13-year-old panic-period started.

And mean it! Show offs may get laughs, but then, so do monkeys in the zoo. --H. DEAR DAG: Something you overlook: Without psychology (patience is another word for it), the shellacking would have missed its mark. A Another thing: you can overdo the "gentle understanding" bit with a teenager-on-the-prod. She's aching for a fight though she doesn't know quite why.

When she gets nothing but sweetness and light, she's apt to take it out Helen Bottel DEAR HELEN: I went the "kindness and under- standing" route with my teen-age Fried and that daughter. Like the books say, I she more than deserves every I girl must know her mother has overlooked her sloppiness, was sweet and gentle in the face of her snappy comebacks, excused her tantrums and insubordination as that "difficult growing up period." Well, the sweeter I was, the I took. What's more our smaller children started imitat- whack she gets. A spanking fetches her up short and the memory keeps -her there for maybe a week or a month, or hopefully, until the steam, stomp and slop-around phase has lost out to well, maybe boys. in kicking the furniture, or 'her little sister: anything to get a rise out of you.

Be kind, but don't take too much, or you'll get even more--and when she really needs it--wham! --H. P.S. If your house is like my house, I'll bet you noted a change for the better in ALL your kids after that set-to. Strange how an- jgclic the whole family can be after one member gels a licking. Temporarily, that is.

Peering out the left breast pocket were four tips of a cleverly folded white linen handkerchief while on the left lapel, quaintly held by placing the stem through an unused buttonhole and securing it with a small.silver hat pin, was a white carnation. He wore a shirt of white nylon, severely plain, which was held togelher at the front by little buttons of plastic.

Around his neck and under the shirt collar was a tie of black jersey, knotted carefully in decorative style, and held to the shirt front with a clamping device of gold plated brass. The cufifs of the shirt were closed with links of the same plated metal. "On his left wrist he wore a mercury battery-powered watch', a Christmas gift from his father, that was held in place with a metal band. His trousers, of simple pleated design, matched the I coal and were supporled by a belt 'of black goatskin. His shoes, of black horsehide, covered socks of some dark material and were fastened with a bow.

"He wore no hat and had his hair combed back and then forward from the forehead in a slight wave with no visible means holding it in position. "The bride wore Ihe customary white."
