YO Ranch celebrates 100th
United Press International
MOUNTAIN HOME — One of
the biggest parties the Texas High
Country has seen in years was held
this weekend to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the YO Ranch.
Temperatures in the 30s and snow
forced a Sunday morning chuckwa-
gon breakfast to be cancelled, but
Saturday night’s fun was not hin
dered.
Charles Schreiner threw the giant
party for 2,000 invitation-only
guests. Wearing a tuxedo and cow
boy boots, he mounted a 2,000-
pound longhorn steer named “Gov
ernor” and rode it right into the mid
dle of the cheering crowd.
The hundreds of politicians, big
game hunters and Hill Country gen
try enjoyed exotic foods from seven
countries, fine cheese and fruit, and
crowded around a large table for for
helpings of jackrabbit chili.
An official for the party said the
affair cost Schreiner approximately
$20 per person.

Female pilot wants jet training
United Press International
NORFOLK, Va.— Her daddy
used to take her flying when she
was five. She began “playing
around” with private planes at
eight. Now at 27, she is the only
Navy woman aviator qualified to
land on aircraft carriers.
“It was just great!” Lt. Donna
Lynn Spruill said.
Relaxing in her zip-up flying
suit, Lt. Spruill, of Starkville,
Miss., explained how to line up a
plane with “the meatball” — the
colored light on the carrier which
helps orient the aircraft for a safe
approach.
But it’s clear the first excite
ment of snaring the trip wire with
the tailhook and bringing the
bird, with its throbbing engines,
to a jarring stop is giving way to
day to a bittersweet disillusion
ment.
Four months after a first meet
ing at Atlantic Fleet headquarters
last fall, Spruill’s enthusiasm
seems to be giving way to quiet
anger.
As a woman pioneer in the
Navy, she has reaped a small
whirlwind. And she’s run into a
roadblock.
The media has begun to pic
ture her as the sexy single
woman, the woman “airedale”
(that’s a jab, in Navy lingo) who
drives a yellow Mercedes and
shakes her yellow curls lustily out
of her helmet after a flight.
Recently, a titilating write-up
in a local newspaper prompted
her male comrades to phony up a
message, purportedly from the
men of the carrier USS
Eisenhower, requesting her out
“on a VIP tour.”
Spruill and others are also fu
rious at a group of Navy, Air
For Lt Donna Lynn Spruill,
the roadblock is specific: the
Navy will not train her to fly
jets. Jets mean fighters, like
the F-14 carrier-based inter
ceptor. And the Navy will not
hand out expensive fighter
training to women when it is
not going to employ women as
fighter pilots.

her to fly jets.
Jets mean fighters, like the F-
14 carrier-based interceptor.
And the Navy will not hand out

women when it is not going to
employ women as fighter pilots.
“I’m having a hard time right
now,” Spruill conceded. “Unfor
tunately, I think they’re going to
make me quit flying. Eventually,
they have to. And flying is really
my first love. ”
Combat in the Navy is vastly
different from killing your enemy
in hand-to-hand combat as a
Marine or Army infantryman may
have to do, Navy women argue.
“My concept of the Army is fox

women who have posed nude in

But beyond the publicity prob
lem, Navy women see roadblocks
in their careers as long as they are
barred from combat jobs.
By law, the Navy is not allowed
to place women in combat situa
tions, although it can assign then
for up to 180 days on warships not
in combat zones.
It doesn’t help that the Navy
has opened up 102 of its 118 rat
ings, or jobs, to women.

said.
“In the Navy, we’re set aside
from that. We don’t have to worry
about not being as strong as some

LAKEWOOD, Colo.— Eight
persons have been arrested in a raid
on an alleged house of prostitution
called “Fantasy Island” that offered
services ranging from $15 drinks to a
$180 champagne bath with two hos
tesses.
Agents from the Lakewood De
partment of Public Safety sur
rounded and then raided the house
Friday night.
Agents began investigating the
house, which opened in February,
after receiving several complaints
from persons who received
brochures from the business. The
circulars said Fantasy Island pro
vided “an island of Utopia” for busi
nessmen and featured hostesses ca
tering to “every whim that the busy
