WASSON Advertiser Staff Writer In a voice choked with emotion, Mrs. Lurleen Burns Wallace told the people of Alabama Monday "I shall make you a good Governor." As she fought back the tears, the first woman governor of the state asked the people for their prayers "that I may serve you with honor and grace, and and that I shall not fail you in the trust you have placed in me.

It was both a beginning and an end, this bright but chilly inauguration day the dramatic end of a year-long campaign for the state's highest office. In the campaign Gov.

She amassed a record-breaking 537,000 votes in November, or 63.3 per cent of the total. Her landslide victory carried entire slates of Democratic candidates into office in almost every county.

Applause, cheers tne state. School bands of Tus and rebel yells (yeeeoweee!) made appearances. A red welcome carpet trailed greeted her as she and her com lenge of her life four years as governor. The inauguration spectacle was, all in all, a great outpouring of warmth from the people of Alabama to Mrs. Wallace and to her husband, George.

They basked in the adulation of the crowd and gaily saluted each of the nearly 200 bonds, 90 floats and numerous marching units. Little Lee Wallace, the first couple's 5-year-old blonde daughter, stood most of the time in the corner of the reviewing stand. She waved with all the delight of any 5-year-old caught up in the magic of a colorful parade. The other Wallace children, Mrs. Jim Parsons, Peggy Sue and George also watched the parade with interest.

Peggy Sue is a Lanier High School cheerleader and young George plays in a rock 'n roll band. The 444-seat reviewing stand was packed with dignitariesFormer governors James E.

Wallace inaugural parade Monday. Newsmen, who viewed the parade from a special stand at the Capitol, had difficulty keeping track of how many times the tune was played because some of the bands played compositional arrangements of other tunes which included bits of "Dixie." And, too, there were tunes that sounded like "Dixie," such as "Are You From Dixie?" Other tunes which drew chuckles and applause from the Capitol viewers included "Washington Post March," a reminder of George C. Wallace's ambition to be president, and "Million Dollar Baby From a Five and Ten Cent Store," a reminder that Mrs. Wallace once clerked in a dime store.

The Etowah County High School band from Attalla played "There Is Nothing Like a Dame." The Wallaces watched the five-hour procession from a red, white and blue stand labeled "Alabama Stands Up in Honor of Our Forces in Vietnam." They waved, blew kisses and spoke to the passing paraders. George's War Crew Attends Ceremonies During World War II, George C. Wallace flew in a bomber nicknamed "Sentimental Journey." Five members of the bomber crew Monday made such a trip to see Wallace's wife inaugurated as the state's 51st governor.

"The guard was very Office Doors Always Open, MacDonald Gallion Asserts Iflti ls I' I I'M They Came To The City By Tens Of Thousands By RUSSELL TATE Advertiser Staff Writer They came by the tens of thousands to watch Gov.

Lurleen Wallace's inaugural parade Monday. And watch it they did, from every conceivable vantage point-sidewalk, rooftops, monuments, truck beds and almost every other place that could be clambered onto, into or up beside. State troopers and the Montgomery Fire Department estimated that 150,000 or more spectators were gathered along the 16-block parade route. And it seemed that at least that many persons or more participated in the parade. Crowds were remarkably light in the immediate downtown area, with plenty of sidewalk space to carry a heavy traffic of souvenir hawkers.

Short people looked for shorter people to look over, and youngsters kept pace with their favorite band. The hawkers were peddling buttons, badges, flags, horns, balloons and hats especially hats, of every shape and pattern. Tiger-striped hats, Confederate and cowboy hats, and even one Nazi storm trooper-style helmet were in evidence. An occasional frustrated shopper wandered about with shopping bag in hand frustrated because almost every sales clerk in town was watching the parade. They crowded shop display windows, doorways and the long-unopened windows of upstairs storage areas.

The crowd thickened as the route neared the Capitol, and the Capitol grounds were almost impassable with stretching, craning humanity. Spectators were attired in every conceivable fashion, from heavily-furred, elegant women to barefoot or shod but sockless and jacketed boys. Pretty girls in very short skirts were one of the outstanding features of the parade. But many girls just as pretty and wearing skirts almost as short were scattered throughout the onlooking crowd. "Neither rain, nor sleet nor gloom of night" stay the postmen, but Monday's parade stayed many, especially those in vehicles.

Others, pushing hand carts or carrying shouldered letter bags, continued on their rounds with hardly a pause. Half the spectators, it seemed, viewed the parade through camera viewfinders. And just about the only ones in the entire crowd who weren't pushing, shoving and elbowig their way to the front of the lines of watchers were three sedately garbed nuns patiently standing six rows back in a spot near the Capitol.
