outside contestants as strong or

good work, as millions Of votes have
passed into their inner regions be-

where over three million votes were
cast by the Veteran Volunteer Fire
men, they winning over the Republi-
can Club Of Richmond Hill who

confirmed If you stand a few mo-
ments in front of the beautiful dis
play at the Albert Leon Furniture
Store window.
