Ermo's Most Admired Woman By ERMA BOMBECK It won't be long before magazines will be coming out with their annual poll of the year's most admired women. There will be the usual list of first ladies lauded for their courage, consumer advocates for their service, television personalities for their glamour, politicians for their uniqueness, and of course Sylvia Porter for being able to say what none of us can even think. Before the list gets too cluttered, I'd like to nomi- a the a I most admire in this world Doris Sprigg. DORIS PUMPS HER OWN GAS! Please hold your applause until I am finished.

Doris is a a women drivers and a pioneer in her time. We first met in 1972. I had just pulled out of a gas a i she slapped me on my car trunk and yelled, "Your gas cap." I jammed on the brakes. "My what?" I asked. "Your gas cap.

They forgot to replace your cap." "Thank you," I said, dropping it in my handbag. "You don't understand. It belongs on your gas tar.fc." A a this a a i a i a extraordinary thing. She took the cap. walked to the back of the car and screwed it over the gas place.

I knew then I was in the presence of greatness. Having driven a car for 20 years, I never knew what those little devils did back there with the little garden hose. Call it a gut feeling, but I had the sensation that Doris knew Uni personally (of the L'ni Roy and Al tire team.) Since that time I have come to know Doris Sprigg as one of the most remarka- i A i a today. She can release the hood of her car without a rear end collision. She can position her car at the air hose pump without parking on the air hose.

She can ask for a restroom key without a trace of anxiety or hysteria in her voice. She never has the side mirror turned on herself so she can see if she has lipstick on her teeth. But mostly, Doris can go into one of the thousands of self-service gas islands popping up around the country, set the pump, unscrew the cap, put the hose down the tank and fill 'er up. My God, I admire this woman. San Mateo will be the first address for Roy Lynn Casstevens and his bride, the former Bonnie Rae Stewart, who exchanged vows Saturday afternoon.
