the other contestants.
The popular candidates victory
was clean cut and most decisive. OF
the 336,620 votes cast on the final
day two thirds were marked for Miss
Witham and her final total was
249,250. Miss Harwood, who had
closely pressed the ultimate winner
all through the two weeks contest
ran very strong on the final day.
gaining over 10000 votes over her
total on Wednesday. but this number
was not enough to overcome Miss
Witham's remarkable strength. Miss
Harwood's final total for the con-
test was 139,960.
The other two candidates in the
four cornered race had considerable
support, but were far outdistanced in
the popular battle between the loyal
supporters of the two leading nomi-
nees. Miss Laura Waugh finished
third in the standing with a total of
14,030, and Miss Eta McKinnon's fin
al tally was 1850.
Tall, lithsome and Of regal but
most gracious bearing, the choice for
reigning sovereign of the fifth an
nual winter carnival festivities is
most worthy of the honor bestowed
upon her. Miss Witham has a very
pleasing personality, her retiscence

The contest created an eXtraordin-
