TIiE army is like seeing NOV

faces and personalities stand
out, just like the stars in the

other faces. like the faces OF the

ready, having their delays en-
route on the way TO their next
camps or their next assign

Some of them became very
good friends in the II or ID
weeks of the cycle - William
Thomas was one, and Clarence

Photographic store in Highland

connection with the motion picture
of that name
She will wear the Miss District
OF Columbia" ribbon over the shoul-
der of her bathing suit at Atlantic
City next month in the annual con-
test at that resort. II she wins, she
will be Miss America" with a Hol-
lywood contract and the motion pic
ture industry will send American
troops on every front her pinup
poses.
Gloria Grisso OF Alexandria, 18,
and pretty, was runner-up. There
were nine contestants. The contest
was staged by Station WWDC.
Clark Griffith a Judge.
Norman Reed, Captain Cash" of
the radio, opened the event. A
tall, baldisf. man with graying hair,
he was dressed for the occasion in
a Paisley tie, solid brown sport
jacket and pencil-striped brown
Stacks. He read the instructions to
the judges. One of them was Clark
Griffith.
Talent was to count 40 per cent,
Mr.. Reed said; face, 5 per cent;
figure, Is per cent, ana personality,
10 per cent. So the judges would
have no trouble scoring personality,
he defined it for them as "umph." I"
Then Mike Hunnicutt, who en-
deavors to get listeners to work on
time with his Rise and Shine" pro-
gram. took over. He was prepared
for the relative GOODNESS of the day
with gray cheviot suit of herring
bone pattern.
First Girl Finds 1t Chilly.
The first girl, Judith Stiffler, 20
and pretty, found it little chilly
when she came out on the stone
steps in a bathing suit to sing q
song without lights and only curl
osity evident on the part of a
lunch-hour crowd of around a
thousand.
She sang Sweet and Lovely" in
a parlor piano voice. Soon the
arm-waving efforts to "woosh" up
applause INDUCED IN by Mr.. Hun
nicutt, whose thinning hair curls up
at the back, had him quite dishev-
eled.
1t was Gloria Lee Brandt, 10, and
pretty. with a white scalloped two
piece suit leaving bare midriff, who
got the most applause. Miss Brandt
recited High Flight" by John Gill
!esple Magee, jr., the young Wash
lngton 'RCAF' pilot killed in action
last year.
Other contestants were Joan Nell
