The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-09-11

Go represent the counties at the sem ing arranged to portray the hundred years of Alabama's history and the half century of the life of Birming- | ham, MT. Bowie states:
 With 1,500 persons participating in this presentation staged by one of the best pageant managers in the United States, a chorus of nearly 1000 voices and a large orchestra. the pageant promises to be an event of interest in the entire state. Other features connected with the cele- bration will be the visit of the Pres ident, the mammoth parade. his ad- dress to the public, the automobile and fashion show and industrial ex- hibit, banquets. balls and many other big attractions.
 We want the President to meet some of the beautiful and charming young women of our state, but since 1t manifestly would be impossible for him to see them all, we are planning to have the people of each county select young woman to act as their county queen and special representa- tive for the social affairs given for the President, and in connection with
 the celebration. We want these young women to be real representa- tives of the people of the different counties they come from, and we want all the people to have a voice in their selection.
 While we would not presume to tell each county how its representa- tive should be chosen, we outline be- low tentative plan for the consider ation of those in charge of the mat ( xvhi ha rnndtfind fc local conditions"
 He then suggests a number of ex- ce1lent plans for the selection of the county queens. and says further of them:
 The young women will be the guests of Birmingham during their stay in the city, and will be enter tained in the homes of representa- tive citizens. Plans have been made for their entertainment. A number of social events are being planned by the committees of prominent women and the Junior Chamber of Com merce, composed of the most repre- sentative young men of Birming ham, has requested the privilege of assist ing in entertaining the visitors. They will be guests of honor at the enter tainments given in honor of the Pres ident and will attend the ball at the Country club in his honor.
 One of tho visitors will be chosen, Ky popular vote as The Queen of the Seusi-tcentann.al, and the merchants of the city have requested the privi- lege of rrascnting the young woman thus honored with handsome and complete wa'arorc to cost not less than s250. Further details will be announced from time to time during the campaign. but 1t is suggested that each county take charge of the selection of the county queen and make such changes or notifications in the plan outlined as seem to them to be best.
