What does Reggie,
Reggie look like he

tastes like?

CHICAGO (AP) —
Double double, boil and
trouble: the secret
ingredients of the
“Reggie, Reggie,
Reggie’ candy bar have
leaked out of the
pressuretight cauldrons
of the high-security
kitchens here at Standard
Brands.

The lid was on for com-
petitive reasons in the
cavity industry because
no ballplayer has been
memorialized on a candy
wrapper since the Baby
Ruth bar came on the
market decades ago in
tribute to Ruth
Cleveland, winsome
daughter of President
Grover Cleveland, who
batted .286 (about the
same as Reggie) in the
old Potomac Lite
League.

It’s na secret that the
lozengemakers put in
many a bittersweet
month over their Bunsen
burners and steamin
Saucepans trying to boi
up a candy confectior
that would suggest af
first bite the essentia:
Reggie Jackson.

They knew from
consumer studies done in
the Yankee dugout that,
“tastebudwise,” Reggie
never could be confused
with Mr. Goodbar or
Chuckles or Candy
Kisses, Suggestions came
from the vicinity of the
water cooler that
something on the order of
a Snicker might be more
appropriate, but that was
before the titular bon bon
hit those three home runs
in the final World Series
game.

TREACHERY IN POT

Now it can be revealed,
thanks to the treachery of
an embittered ladle-
stirrer in the syrup shed,
that the Reggie, Reggie,
Reggie bar is encased in
rich mocha chocolate
whipped up into peaks
and mounds and hillocks.
These represent the
ethnic barriers, the
mountains of bias that the
Philadelphia tailor's son
has had to cross on his
way to greatness.

Next comes a layer of
taffy and fudge, symbolic

of the give and take at

contract time with
George Steinbrenner and
the Yankee front office.

There are no peanuts in
the Reggie, Reggie,
Reggie bar. No
presidential slight is
intended here, but Reggie
Jackson just doesn’t work
for peanuts,

Near the centre of this
toothsome masterpiece
are bit-sized bits of
licorice, emblematic of
the dark double knits on
the plate umpires, which
Reggie chews up when
questioning a strike call.

Thin stripes of
molasses suggests the
dignified manner in
which the great man ap-
proaches a fly ball, a few
cordial cherries in sour
syrup evoke his
relationship with
manager Billy Martin
and a streak of rum
butter, lightly whipped,
provides the tangy flavor
of lazy winter afternoons
in the off-season Puerto
Rican league.

CHARITABLE DEPTH

But down deep at the
core of the Reggie,
Reggie, Regge bar is a
soft and gooey centre of
rich marshmallow,
capturing the quin-
tessential Jackson, the
man who gives away
Thunderbird cars to
sweet charity, the way
John D, Rockefeller used
to hand out dimes.

The whole is topped off
with a sprinkling of
crushed nuts, a rueful
reminder of the brand of
bleacherites generic to
Yankee Stadium,
especially the oafs who
toss the beer bottles and
firecrackers and the one
who hung from _ the
scoreboard with his
breeches at half-mast in
the second series game.

Confected at great
expense and wrapped in
the _ pencil striped
regimentals of the New
York Yankees, the
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie
bar is a chocolate coated
crispy chewey candy co-
lossus that can’t be beat
when it comes to the
crunch.

Marrow transplant
may save babys life

BOSTON (AP) —
Sixteenmonth-old Tony
Olivo, his world limited to
a germ-free, plastic box,
has arrived in Boston for
a rare transplant of bone
marrow which his three-
year-old brother
probably will donate.

Tony, who flew here
fram Dallas with his
mother and _ brother
Gilbert Wednesday, has
no defence against viral
and fungal infections
which affect the clotting
of his blood, said Dr. Joel
Rappeport. He is a bone-
marrowtransplant
specialist who will per-
form the operation at

Children’s Medical
Centre.
Dr. Rappeport said

Tony has immunity to
some bacteria but: is
helpless against colds, flu
and fungal infections like
athlete’s foot.
“He’s always had
something wrong,” said
his mother, Deborah, 28,
who has four children
younger than seven. "If
it's not a rash, then it’s a
sore. He’s got scars all
over him.
ALWAYS SURVIVES
“He almost died a
couple of times,” she
said. ‘The doctors told
me that all anyone could
do for him is pray. But he

survives. Every time he
gets very sick, he pulls
through. I just hope he’s
strong and makes it this
time, They told me this is
his last chance so we
decided to have
surgery.”

Dr. Rappeport said the
first step is to confirm
that Tony has Wiskott-
Aldrich Syndrome, which
doctors at Parkland Me-
morial Hospital in Dallas
diagnosed. The second
step is to see whether his

y will accept Gilbert's
bone marrow.

Mrs, Olivo, separated
from her husband, earns
$92 a week as a flower
arranger. American
Airline employees in
Dallas chipped in $700 for
the flight and to cover

ome of Mrs. Olivo’s

living expenses in Boston.
She will be eligible for
government assistance to
pay at least some of the
medical bills.

Dr. Rappeport said the
operation might take
prace by early December.

s. Olivo said doctors
told her it would be about
five months before she
and Tony could return
home to Dallas. The
hospital has made pro-
visions to house them ina
Boston apartment.

Church Offers All
Comforts of Home

By Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: Our church sent the following newsletter

to all its members:

NO-COP-OUT SUNDAY
To make it possible for everybody to attend church next

Sunday:

Cots will be placed in the back for those who say Sunday
is the only day they can sleep, .
Blankets will be provided for those who say the church is

too cold,

Fans will be provided for those who say the church is too

hot.

We will have hearing aids for those who say the minister
talks too soft —and cotton for those who say he talks too
loud—and alarm clocks for those who say he talks too long!

Calculators will be available for those who enjoy
counting the hypocrites present.

Finally, the sanctuary will be decorated with both Judge

Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for those who have
never seen a church without them.

YOUR MIAMI FAN

DEAR FAN: Thanks for a dandy day-brightener.

DEAR ABBY: You have helped so many minority
groups by educating the public, will you please help

another?

We are the blind who use white canes to travel, and by
travel, [ mean go to the mailbox, grocery store, pharmacy

and to work.

Please tell the driving public that some states have a
white cane law, which states: “When a person with a white
can steps off the curb, traffic in ALL DIRECTIONS must
stop until that person regains a curb. Motorists wha
violate this law are guilty of a misdemeanor,”

Even if it were not a law, compassion and courtesy

should prevail,

Albany, N.Y,, is a training center for the blind. They are
trying to develop confidence in the sightless ta go about
alone, but sume of the motorists here either don’t know the
‘aw or choose to ignore it, Please use my letter, Abby, as I

am afraid to go out alone.

SIGHTLESS IN ALBANY

DEAR SIGHTLESS: And speaking of consideration for
the blind, orchids to Robert Meyer of the Yankee
Silversmith Inn in Wallingford, Conn., for providing
duplicate menus in BRAILLE!

DEAR ABBY: Recently you had a letter in your column
from HEARTSICK GRANNY whose daughter wants to
give one of a pair of twin infants away because she was
born with a club foot anda cleft palate, which they couldn't

afford to correct.

Abby, the Shriners maintain 22 hospitals for crippled
children, Their services are FREE, regardless or color

creed or religion,

I hope it’s not teo late to get this information to thal

family.

K.0., BURLINGAME, CAL.

DEAR K.O.: Thank you and the hundreds of others who
recommended the Shrine Hospitals, And don’t forget the
National Foundation-March of Dimes. Their thing is
dingnosing, treating and preventing birth defects, as well
as family planning and genetic counseling.

What branch
of gov't will

get Hughes
money?

LAS VEGAS, Nev.
(AP) — Jury selection for
a trial to determine
whether Howard Hughes
wrote the disputed Mor-
mon Will was upstaged
Monday by another
fitdis nial rbat
among Texas, California
and Nevada over the late
multi-millionaire's
estate.

Clark County District
Keith Hayes,

presiding over the jury’

selection that began Nov.
7, on Monday requested
that Texas Attorney-
General John Hill appear
here later this week to
explain his actions in a
similar trial in Houston.

The Houston _ trial,
before Judge Patrick
Gregory, was to have
begun Monday, but was
delayed by last-minute
motions seeking a con-
tinuance.

Texas authorities claim
Hughes was a Texas
resident when he died
April 5, 1976. California
authorities also claim
Hughes as a resident and
have worked out a multi-
million dollar tax set:
tlement with Hughes’s
relatives.

California has asked
the U.S. Supreme Court
to resolve the conflicting
claims, and on Monday
asked Supreme Court
justice Lewis Powell to
lock the Houston trial.

Nevada, where Hughes
lived for several years
before leaving the U.S. in
the early 1970s, does not
have a state estate tax,
and Hughes's relatives
claim Hughes was a
resident of Nevada.

The trial here pits
Hughes's relatives, who
claim the Mormon Will is
a forgery, against Los
Angeles lawyer Harold
Rhoden.
