Show Girls 14-22 Urged To Participate In Sewing Contest In a statement issued today, Governor George Dewey Clyde proclaimed the special week to call attention to the benefits of sewing with wool and to encourage en-courage girls to enter the Utah "Make It Yourself With Wool" contest. "Wool Sewing Festivals" planned for next week by many retailers will tie in with the contest, which is the largest educational home sewing event in the country. Approved by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the contest provides incentive for many young girls to learn valuable home sewing techniques tech-niques while at the same time discovering how easy it is to sew with wool. The contest is open to girls between the ages of 14 and 22. To qualify, girls may submit either a wool dress, suit or coat which they have made themselves. Valuable awards include scholarships, sewing machines, and for two grand prize winners a trip to the fashion capitals of Europe. In Utah the "Make It Yourself Your-self With Wool" contest is under un-der direction of Mrs. J. W. Swan, 128 West 1st North, Kaysville. Girls may write to her for information. |
