When you gb to a place such as
this for a football game that is sup-
|x>sed to be something special, it has
become traditional to write about
those who accompany the team. And
they were here, of course.
It appeared all the estimated
14,000 Oklahomans in town had gone
to the parade. And Michigan back-
ers, who wear blue and yellow hats,
were watching, and the bands of
those two great universities strutted
ever so proudly throught the gleam-
ing television lights.
That section of Btscayne Boule-
vard where the cameras were
perched was operating room white.
The street was covered last Sunday
with 120,000 gallons of white paint
and that was topped off with red and
blue stars for benefit of the national
TV audience.

Officers said they are
looking for a man iden-
tified as Booker T.
Washington, about 35,
in the 12:40 a.m. shoot-
ing of Bill Morris Bond,
owner of the night spot.
Baptist Medical Cen-
ter officials said Bond
was treated for a cheek
wound and released.
Officers said Bond
told them the shooting
occurred after he and
Washington got into an
argument when he told
Washington he was
about to close the club.
A Wichita, Kan., man was knifed
today in Oklahoma City by one of
three hitchhikers he picked up in
Kansas.
Police said Jimmie Wayne John-
son, 36, received a superficial four-
inch long throat wound at about 6:30
a.m. Officers said Johnson told them
he would seek treatment when he
reached his Pauls Valley destina-
tion.
The incident occurred about a
half-mile» west of 1-35 on Wilshire
Blvd., police said.
Johnson, an employee of a Wichita
newspaper, told police he stopped
there at the request of the hitchhik-
ers, who told him they wanted to
cook breakfast at the site.
Johnson said he had gone to his
car trunk to get the three men's
backpacks when one of them
grabbed his head from behind and
tried to slit his throat.
Johnson told officers he managed
to struggle free and get back into his
car. As he drove away, one attacker
broke the front Passenger's side win-
dow trying to stop him.
Johnson told police the youths said
they were traveling to Florida when
he picked them up at the Wichita
turnpike gate. He could describe
them only as being white, about 17
years old, with medium length hair,
police said.
Answer asked
WASHINGTON (AP) —The House

against or squelch" an investigation

chasing of wiretap equipment.
group was part
about 300 who
were "ready to go as soon as the
CIA can obtain further funds."
The report attributed the informa-
tion to "contacts with senior merce-
nary officers familiar with the situa-
tion both in Angola and the Unitecf
States." Those sources were <ue-
scribed as "close to the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency."
The 300 men reportedly include 15
South Vietnamese. The American
members were said to be on indefi-
nite leave from Army special forces
units in this country or in the Pana-
ma Canal Zone, or to be recently dis-
charged soldiers.

150 training

BOSTON (AP) — About 150 Amer-

some 300 Americans already fighting
in Angola, the Christian Science

slang," Osborne said, back in 1921,
when he and his wife went into busi-
ness in downtown Oklahoma City
with a six-stool cafe called Beverly's
Grill.
"We were trying to do something
to make people laugh and eat at the
same time," he said. "It set a good
mood."
By 1938, such slang expressions as
"tisket-a-tasket" — burger in a bas-
ket — were printed on the Beverly's
menu.
"Rough walkin'," he said, was a
call for his franchised kind of fried
chicken to take out, but in other res-
taurants it came to mean just plain
fried chicken to go.
That was back when half a fried
chicken with "gobs of shoestring po-
tatoes" and buttered hot rolls with
honey all listed on the menu for 50
cents. The "tisket-a-tasket" burger
went for 20 cents. The "bull in a
pen" hamburger steak was 45 cents.
It was a different world then —
and maybe a little spicier because of
the slang, which Osborne said he
misses.

bly taste better." Osborne
"Spiritually, you’re better."
But toward the end of the 1940s, he
said, lunch counter slang was melt-
ing away like a "muddy dish" —
dish of chocolate Ice’cream — over
the stove.
A new waitress taking the custom-
er's order would "turn it in right,
and leave the slang off," Osborne
said.
A new manager in the restaurant
would decide to run it on a "higher
plane," ordering his cooks and wait-
resses not to talk in slang, Osborne
recalled.
"People—gut—mure—sophisticated,
they thought," he said.
And almost forgotten now is the
eall of "fry six" for six fried oysters,
or "Gulf of Mexico" to mean enchi-
ladas. Or "Hollywoods" for thin little
pancakes. Or "Waco" for a Dr. Pep-
per.
"I turned in a 'shot' the other
day," Osborne lamented. "Nobody
knew what it was. I thought sure
they would know that.
‘ "A shot's always been a Coke."
Osborne said he was working as a
soda jerk in 1916, in Conaanche,
Okla., when lunch counter slang be-
gan to bubble over from the big cit-
ies to even the smallest towns.
"Some guy would sit down at the
counter and order a cup of coffee.
The waitress would call back, 'a cup-
pa mud,*" Osborne said.
And a new word was added to the
list of restaurant slang.
Then before long, slang words
were peppering the whole menu.

f Maybe their daddies did not al-
ways stand quite as attentively as
they might have wished when the
American flag was parading past,
but that usually was because at least
one child was perched atop shoul-
ders for better viewing.
But, it's the eyes and the smiles
that count, not the posture. Those
kids love a parade, too, probably
even more than those of us who have
access to a sandy beach. It would be
nice If those new citizens could be
told that last night's parade was pri-
marily for their enjoyment.
After all, now that we're about to
become 200 years old, it's about time
