Thursday after wearing a kilt,

a pretty lassie.

The world heavywelght

The Braemar girl pipers’
band met him at the airport

He borrowed a set of bag-
pipes and struggled to get a
sound out of it, Finally it gave
out a long, low wail—but it
took Liston longer to achieve
this than it took him to knock
out Floyd Patterson in thelr
last

“It’s harder than fighting,”
Liston said.

Then he planted a discreet
kiss on the cheeck of Mrs.

Vera Marshall, the band's
pretty drum major.
“Oh dear, what will my

husband say" she said.

of office workers cheered Lis-
