He Is The Husband Of Mrs. America, But At Home He Is Just A Mechanic
San Diego, Sept. 22—(U.P.) The tall handsome mechanic put down the talcum, picked up his eight-week-old daughter and opined as how "you never know how you miss your wife until she becomes Mrs. America."
The mechanic, Arthur T. Cloyd Jr., is keeping house and caring
their three children whose wife, blonde and lovely Mrs. Frances L. Cloyd, is touring the nation as Mrs. America.
"We really don't know what the future will bring," Cloudy told the United Press today. "That's something we will have to discuss when Frances comes home next month."
"I haven't seen her since she won the Mrs. America contest a little more than a week ago. We have talked on the phone, though, and she seems to be having a good time.
"But as far as a career is concerned, that's something we will have to talk over between us. The children come first. You know."
While Mr. Cloyd works days in a La Jolla garage, his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Becker, care for the children. He takes over each evening. "I do the changing, feeding and the works," Cloyd said. "I don't mind taking care of the children but, I'll sure be glad when Frances gets home."
There are two sons, Tommy. 3, and Terry, 2, and the baby daughter Patricia.
"Haven't had any trouble with them at all. No trials or tribulations. The kids sure miss their mother, though. Guess we'll all be glad to have her home again."
