BY MABEL ROGERS

Me 1 just can't believe
it,"
Thus spoke Mary Jarman when
announced she had walked OF
with the title, Miss Wilmington,
at the recent beauty contest held
last Tuesday night.
Il still can't believe it," spar
king blue-eyed Mary told this re-
porter yesterday evening in an in
tervieW, wearing a red and white
pique skirt outlined at the sides
in perky white ruffles and white
blouse.
Miss Wilmington appeared
this morning on the local Top Of
the Morning. radio program as
guest artist when she told in her
own words just how she felt about
her honors.
When asked if she won any other
contests, smilingly Mary answer
ed. Yes I have, but its far from
a beauty contest, I won a sewing
contest during my high school
days at Dixon and was awarded a
trip to Raleigh. I also was award
ed a certificate in cooking and
believe it or not 1 was president
of the All club at one time"
Mary has no designs in going out
professionally in singing, dancing
or dramatics, in fact, the first
solo she eve sang was the night
she was chosen queen.
against my friends advice,
Mary laughed, They told me
whatever you do, don't sing"
Gloria Bruce, n of my friends,
cautioned me that if I should at
tempt to sing I would lose out COM
pletely."
But evidently when Mary step
ped out before a capacity crowd
last Tuesday wearing a draped
model light pink evening gown and
sang "You Made Me Love You"
that's exactly what the jam-packed
throng did because she was chosen
Miss Wilmington from a group of
thirteen for her beauty, poise,
talent and general appearance.
Although Mary is a serious
minded business Woman she does
find time to do a little swimming
and plays tennis. Dancing is also
one of her pastime activities and
she loves to collect costume
jewelry.
