Area MBC student chosen for program 6 Staunton, Leader, Monday, June 10, 1974 Professional football player's wife is grateful for spotlight A Lovelier You THE ROOT OF THE MATTER By Mary Sue Miller Here are seven ways to lovely hair in the summertime. Healthier locks in September than in June. 1. Be sure your shampoo is suited to your type of hair. Wash as often as need be.

Use warm, not cold or hot water. Avoid toweling hair dry; blot out drips and then brush until dry. 2. Between shampoos, brush so as to spread natural oils from scalp to ends; to stimulate circulation; to dust and air the strands. 3.

Conditioning treatments are indicated for excessively dry and oily hair. Treatments cater to hair types and are ap degree in social work with a minor in music. "I've discovered that to stay in the home every day isn't really for me," she says. "Roy would be off all day, and when he came home he closed up shop and didn't want to get out. "I wasn't growing.

He was. I thought I would become uninteresting to him if I had nothing to tell him except what happened on tv." Besides studying, Candy works as a part-time cook at the Seventh-Day Adventist school her children, Marshall and Michelle, attend. She's also a divisional leader for the children at Sabbath School, and leads a story hour on Saturday afternoons. "I didn't feel like I was really challenging myself," she says. "I felt like I was the chauffeur, the cook and the maid.

I want to enjoy my children, my husband. I feel I have nothing to offer them if I'm around them all the time. "Now I have a life besides their lives. I feel sorry for the wives of football players who have nothing but their husbands, and that's all many of thm have. They're in a rut.

If all you've got is him and he says he's going well, what do you have left?" The Jeffersons have determined that life is simply what you make it. Some of it is exciting and glamorous, but mostly it's just living day to day. "I'm enjoying it all," says Candy Jefferson. "I enjoy sharing his profession. That's what we're doing, We're just sharing life with one another." I was afraid to go places.

"It was so dirty I never saw the sun or the stars," she adds as she looks around her spacious and modern home in Annandale and steals a glance through the window at her wooded back yard and the sky Jefferson got along in Pitts burgh. He was a pro football player. "He fit in everywhere," his wife says. "I didn't have anything to do but watch tv." Now that's changed. Now Candy has her own life.

But that state of independence came after several more seasons in Pittsburgh, one of them spent in a "shack" the second floor of an old house in a high crime neighborhood. "Our tape player was stolen from our car," Mrs. Jefferson recalls. "Then our car was stolen; then there was a murder, then a robbery, then two drunks went to sleep and burnt up their house. And on top of all that, there was a funeral parlor next door that held wakes.

"The biggest trip I ever made was to the grocery store." Things started getting better in 1968. They moved to a better neighborhood, bought a home, and she started taking ther son Marshall to all the home football games. "He was my favorite friend," she smiles. Then came a trade to Baltimore and finally a trade to Washington and a home in Annandale. Candy Jefferson now is a student at Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, where she's working on a MISS STANLEY junior, is a graduate of Robert E.

Lee High School. This year she "served on the Honor Council, the "Bluestocking" staff, and was assistant director of the sophomore show, "The Wizard of which was held in the fall. She also is a campus guide and a participant in the Readers' Theater, an after dinner entertainment group providing readings of established and contemporary plays. MASONIC NOTICE A Special Communication of Staunton Lodge No. 13, A.F.

A.M., will be held in the Masonic Temple, Wednesday Night June 12, 1974, at 7:00 P.M. Work in the MASTER MASON DEGREE. By Order of: Robert E. Dick Master People Make Us Nu mbcr One Miss Marian W. Stanley of Staunton is one of a select group of students from Mary Baldwin and Davidson Colleges who will attend a six-week summer study program at St.

Anne's College in Oxford, England, beginning July 4. Miss Stanley, daughter of Mrs. Patricia M. Stanley of 1511 N. Augusta will participate in a program combining attendance at the International Graduate Summer School lecture series and weekly tutorials conducted by Oxford University faculty.

Tutorial groups are small, allowing for considerable individual attention and active student participation. The literature, history and society of Britain from 1870 to the present will be the central theme of both lectures and tutorials. Ten students from Mary Baldwin and 15 students from Davidson are participating in this fourth joint summer session directed by Dr. Richard C. Cole, professor of English at Davidson.

The group will attend the Shakespeare Festival at Stratford-on-Avon, and visits to Stonehenge, London, Windsor Castle, Edinburg and other places of interest are available. Miss Stanley, a rising Our JEWELERS 'M titmtmmffitmmmttmmtm blacks in Salt Lake City, and I had high standards and all the guys I knew had no goals." Candy met Roy for the first time at a choir rehearsal at her cousin's home, when he was a college freshmen end, she an llth-grader. "I was fascinated with him. He was the only young man I had ever met that could carry on a decent conversation," she says. There is a discrepancy in their memories at this point.

She says they went together two years; he admits to only one. Candy laughs at that. "He doesn't remember a lot of things," she says. "He says he didn't write me letters, but he wrote lots of them, and I remember writing him one of 28 pages that said the same thing over and over: 'I love Their first car was bought on the promise that when Jefferson got drafted into the pros he would pay for it, Candy recalls. "I didn't realize that Roy was that good," she says.

"That was famous. That was his dream. Oh, I'd say, 'Next year Roy might be but that wasn't real to me." It became real in 1965: "He wanted to go with L. A. (Los Angeles Rams), and they hid away in this hotel with an NFL representative and an L.A.

scout. Here we were, getting the red carpet treatment. We were so naive. I was 19, and it was the first time I had ever been out to dinner." But Jefferson, his wife says, got tired of waiting and on the second round of the draft accepted a bid from Pittsburgh. "The biggest thing in my life was to get out of Salt Lake City," she says.

"I never thought I would." She got out of Salt Lake, all right, but not very happily, at first. Living in Pittsburgh wasn't her cup of tea. First, they lived in a sleazy apartment where they shared a kitchen with another player and his wife, and Candy Jefferson was scared to death. "I wasn't used to Eastern accents and rudeness, and I had never lived any place where there were a lot of blacks. I had always heard and thought they were violent.

5. Beware of overages of vitamin D-the sun-which lead to dryness and can cause loss of hair. Become a hat and scarf mavin. 6. Tension is the ruination of hair.

Try to keep cool when heat, humidity and humanity threaten. Take a few minutes to sip a refreshing beverage, to renew your makeup and hairdo, to massage the back of your neck. 7.

Enclose a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and 10 cents in coin. 1974, Publishers-Hall Syndicate ANNANDALE (AP)-Nobody ever wants to talk to Mrs. Roy Jefferson. Her husband gets all the attention. So when she's asked for an interview, she simply erupts with excitement and talks, non-stop, for lxk hours.

"Reporters don't want to talk to me because the athlete is more interesting," smiles the wife of the Washington Redskins' all-pro wide receiver. "He's what people want to know about, but sometimes that gets old because reporters always ask the same one questions." There's no chance to ask Candy Jefferson a question she has heard before. In fact, there's very little chance to ask Candy anything. After the first question, she's off and bubbling, leaving her visitor hardpressed to squeeze in a response, let alone a question. "People like to stereotype professional football players' wives," she says.

"They think we should be glamorous and wear lots of makeup. But normally I don't wear any and I like to wear slacks and just be myself so that when I do get dressed up I can feel it's special." Candy likes to tackle misconceptions and scores points for herself with the startled looks from her listeners. Football players pro football players, and especially superstar pro football players who play for the Washington Redskins are considered wealthy. Most people think they've been that way since high school graduation and their first athletic scholarship. Think again.

"I remember when we couldn't even afford 18 cents for the baby's formula," says Mrs. Jefferson, a vivacious woman who radiates glamor through a perfect smile. "Neither of us had any money. Roy got $60 a month from his scholarship and worked 15 hours every two weeks for another $30 a month, so the maximum we could get was $90, and our rent was $65. "Sometimes it was terrible.
