with crowds who hurried there for
the selection and coronation OF
the Miss Wilmington of l947.
Applause practically rocked the
building as the master of cere-
monies called forth Mickie Harris
from the twelve contestants to re-
ceive the crown as the newly ehos-
en- Miss Wilmington of 1947. Mickie,
wearing a f~lattering black bath
ing suit and her crown sitting up
on her head, was holding a large
wreath of deep red roses with a
flowing satin ribbon; she beamed
unbelievably as the instant flashes
of cameras lighted the throne plat

rolled around.
Not only does Mickie begin a
year of excitement and various
appearances due to her new title;
but as she won, she was presented
With many valuable gifts which

in museums. Newspapers and mag

reviews and items, and will publish

This annual observance is in
sharp contrast to the Nazi concept
of destroying works alien to their
ideology," declared Ellen O'Gor-
man Duffy. director of the obser-
vance. in a statement released at
the National Conference today
Religious Book Week points up
the imperative need of books with
a. spiritual message. Where the
characterization traditions pre-
vail, tyranny must vanish; with
the ideal of a Brotherhood OF Man
all men can live in peace and har-
mony under the Fatherhood of
God. It is therefore, fitting that
this observance be held on the l4th
anniversary of the burning of
books by the NaZis."
The National Conference of
Christians and Jews was founded
in 1928 to demonstrate that those
who differ deeply in religion be-
liefs may still work together in
the American way towards mutual
goals, such as amith and under
standing among religious groups,
and matters of common civic con-
Germ.
Among those on the committees
which endorsed these books are:
