G & Company steak house, during Sunday night s storm, welcomed the shelter from the rain until a portion of the roof blew off and the rain came into the restaur ant. “It happens every year,” said Robert Payne, assistant manager of the steak house located in University Square. He explained that the aluminum roofing is laid out in 3-foot strips which permit a strong wind to lift the shingles from the roof. Payne said that the roof has suf fered similar storm damage three times in the past three years. He added that the problem will con tinue as long as the roof is repaired with the metal shingles instead of sturdier wood shingles. “Maybe this time they’ll replace them with the wood shingles,” he said. John Culpepper of Culpepper Properties owns the building but was unavailable for comment. About 15 to 20 customers, mostly Texas A&M University students, were in the restaurant eating their evening meal when the shingles started tearing away from the roof. Payne said the noise sounded like boulders being dropped on the roof and he ran outside to see what was happening. One customer reported that shingles were flying through the parking lot in front of Skaggs Al bertson’s. Barbara Densey, a wait ress, said some cars in the parking lot had been damaged by the flying bits of roof. She said she, “thought the world was coming to an end” when she first heard the noise. While customers and employes were excited over the incident, no one complained about it. — Mary Maertens New women’s movement started Associated Press JOHNSON CITY, Tex. — Hondo rouch, the late “mayor” of Luc- enbach, a dusty hamlet with a na- onal reputation, watched closely to ee how people reacted to his umor. If you liked his humor, you had the feeling Hondo liked you. Hondo, 60, was funny, and he had many friends. He died of a heart attack Monday in the hospital here, near former President Johnson’s boyhood home, after being stricken at the home of Ken and Kathy Morgan, co-owners with Hondo of Luckenbach. Survivors include two sons, John II and Kerry, both of Freder icksburg, and two daughters, Mrs. Dow Patterson and Mrs. Sidney Lindsay Jr., both of San Antonio. His body is to be cremated, with memorial services at 6 p. m. Tuesday at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church at Fredericksburg^ By CRICKET BIRD Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Like her feminist namesake, 32-year-old Susan Anthony is at the forefront of a new women’s movement. She’s one of a growing number of single women purchasing their own homes. “Two years ago there was no way. I went to every bank in the world. They said: Absolutely not. We do not lend to single women,’ ” she re calls. “But I just kept on going.” Miss Anthony finally found a house that fit her financial capabilities as a $900-a-month ad ministrator. When she recently de cided to sell that home and buy another, her loan application was approved in 24 hours. While she admits her good payment record on the first house helped, she says she noticed a change in the lender’s at titude. She’s not alone in that obser vation. “Women could never buy a house by themselves before,” says Ira Gri- bin, president of the California As sociation of Realtors (CAR). “But in the last three or four years it has changed dramatically.” Statistics gathered in a California study done by Investors Mortgage Insurance Co. of Boston (IMIC) give some indication of the trend. In 1974, one out of every 35 home loan applicants was a single woman. Last year that figure rose to one in 25 and by 1980, says IMIC president Jackson Goss, 10 per cent of those applying for home loans will be single women. “The earning power of today’s single woman, as well as her in creased interest in home ownership, has made her as acceptable a loan candidate as her male counterpart,” said Goss. Predictably, most homes still are purchased by couples. Eighty-five per cent of home loan borrowers are married, but sales to singles are in creasing. The change, in part, has been brought on by new federal fair lend ing regulations, and an overall liber alization in the home-lending indus- try. What else is responsible? “Women’s lib, in a word, says Santa Monica realtor Harry Howe. WEEKLY SPECIALS LP 3.99 Associated Press WASHINGTON — U.S. Su- rreme Court Justice Lewis F. Pow- illordered Monday that Texas Sec- Djabetit «tary of State Mark White place prmer U.S. Sen. Eugene McCar- s name on the ballot in Texas as u independent candidate for presi- tions, W k 1 ' 1, . McCarthy had asked Powell Fri- laytostay an order of the 5th U.S. ircuit Court of Appeals in New Or- eans, which had upheld a three- udgefederal court panel at Austin in lenying him a place on the Texas rallot this year. Both the Texas panel and the court had agreed with the former Min nesota senator’s challenge of a Texas election code provision that forbids independent candidates for presi dent. But the jurists said there was not enough time to get on the ballot by petition this year. Powell said Monday he conferred with other justices and obtained agreement by a majority of them to grant McCarthy’s application for the stay order. Powell said he will issue an opinion later explaining his rea soning.
