Named to serve with her as attendants at-tendants were Myrtle White of South Milford and Itha Parkinson of Beaver. Announcement of the winning candidates came at the close of a sumptuous chicken dinner served rt the Walter Weber ranch in South Milford and climaxed a contest con-test in which there was much more interest evidenced than in any year since the county fair was re-established in 1 038, alternating between Milford and Beaver. The Wnquet was sponsored by the Milford Mining association, with William J. Walkotten in active charge. Some 35 Milford mining, business and professional men attended the dinner, which was a f'stag" affair except for the candidates can-didates for queen, all of whom were guests for the occasion. The dinner was served at tables set on the Weber lawn and left nothing to be desired from a fully enjoyable standpoint. The girls, many of them dressed dress-ed in colorful riding habits, gave demonstrations of their riding ability previous to the dinner. The judges, all impartial and two of them newly arrived in the community, com-munity, were Eldredge Nash, engineer representative of the interests in-terests operating the old Hickory mine, C. A. Rasor, SEC representative, repre-sentative, who was in town on business; and Gordon LeSueur,' new Milford high school music in-' structor. 1 M I |
