Show MAGNA'S ENTRANT IN QUEEN CONTEST HAS COUNTY TITLE Looking very regal and sweet, Maurine Hyland, Bingham Canyon's Can-yon's war bond queen, repre- sented this district at tin- Salt I.. ike eounty finals Monday night at Centre "theatre. For the informal in-formal dress affair Miss Hyland wore a two-piece black crepe I dress, styled with slim skirt and I jacket finished with peplum and touches of fine black lace at neck and arms. She wore dainty white flowers in her hair and elbow length black gloves and pearls. Representing 8,265 votes (each $1000 purchase of war bonds meant 40 votes), Miss Hyland entered the contest with 75 percent per-cent of her standing predetermined predetermin-ed by this district's response to the Seventh war loan finals: 37' 2 per cent for percentage of community com-munity quota achieved and an e- j qual amount for percentage this district applied the $8,350.00 county coun-ty quota. A pretty brunet, Aleen Thomas j of Magna, backed with 4,841 votes which represented 196 per cent of the Magna quota and 3 per cent of the county quota (as compared to 88 per cent of the town quota and 20 per cent of county quota Bingham's $155,000 war bond sales and 8,265 votes credited Miss Hyland) was judg-! ed winner with a possible 55 out of 58 votes. The contest was an excellent way of illustrating to all bond buyers of Salt Lake county that the 16 lovely queens, representing represent-ing something much more im- 1 portant than beauty, over four 1 million dollars in war bond sales, in most instances came from communities which have not as 1 yet achieved quotas. The county 1 is also lagging behind. Robert Walker, Ogden native and now a favorite film hero of the younger sets, was master of ceremonies at the contest. The I bond premiere show included a movie and a program by Fort I Douglas 22 piece band directed by W;0 George Montgomery. |
