NEGRO GIRL SELECTED AS LEADING CONTENDER
IN NATIONWIDE BEAUTY CONTEST

and an all expense paid trip to
New York City and contract
with Harry Conover's famous
model agency.
Last years miss Stardust'
competition, which attracted over
$4,000 entries from all over the
world, was the largest beauty
contest in history. But, Judging
from the number of applicants
received to date, 1t is expected
that this years total will exceed
that impressive figure to set ano-
Their worlds record for beauty
competition.
The worlds largest beauty
event is conducted by a manu-
facturer of bras, slips, blouses
and girdles. 1t is unlike other
contests of its kind because OF
the fact that entrants are not
required to parade before a group
of judges In bathing suit. In
fact, an unsuspecting beauty may
be entered without even knowing
about it. Any friend or relative
may put a girl in the running
by sending in her picture and
measurements to national contest
headquarters.
This years competition closes
midnight of May 1, 194s and all
girls interested in entering are
invited to sent their photographs
to Post Office Box IS, Murray
Hill Station, New York City. En-
tries should include height, weight
bust, waist and hips measure
ments. Although the closing date
of the contest is a little while
off, over 10000 eager young beau
ties have already submitted their
pictures and measurements. The
competition is open to everyone,
and all friends of bashful beau
ties are invited to mail their pic
lures.

White Waitress Fined
For Refusing Service
To Negro Woman

A Tacoma waitress Tuesday aft
ernoon was fined $40 and costs
after being found guilty Of refus-
ing service to Mrs. Lilli Collins, a
Seattle Negro woman. in a restau-
rant in Tacoma.
A similar charge involving a
second Tacoma restaurant was
dismissed. Both cases were heard
before Justice of the Peace Char
les L. Wescott.
The waitress, Marjorie Cancarz,
was charged with violating q sell
dom-invoked state statute that
prohibits a restaurant from deny
ing its services to patrons due to
race. The incident occurred Nov.
20 at Lanes Grill. 902 Commerce
Street, in Tacoma.
Anthony Ursich, attorney for the
defendant. orally filed notice Of
appeal.
Served Later
Ursich maintained that the wait
ress had not denied the service,
inasmuch as Mrs. Collins had adj
mitted on the stand she had re-
turned to Lanes within 20 min
utes and at that time had been
served.
He further commended that the
incident was manufactured" by
members of the Progressive party,
and claimed Tacoma had been
free of such occurrences "for
more than so years."
In finding for the plaintiff,
Judge Wescott said:
~ am convinced that even Of
she wasn't denied the service by
words-she was by actions Of the
defendant"
81 hold the defendant guilty of
the charge that she refused to
grant Lilil Collins the full advant-
ages and facilities of the restau-
rant. Whether or not this case
was brought in good faith or
whather it was brought by q
group to establish a precedent.
is not the issue. Colored people
have the same rights as those
of white race"
Case Dismissed
The jurist dismissed the second
case, also brought by Mrs. Collins
against Murphy's, 938 Pacific Ave.
The case was dismissed on a tech
nicality when the prosecution was
unable to prove that Leland Lund,
charged in the information, was
owner of the establishment.
A prospective witness who had
served the papers on Lund failed
to appear.
The dismissal was won by At
torney Samuel Crippen, represent
ing Murphy's.
Deputy Prosecutor Jack s. ODE
nour represented the state.
The trial was moved from the
justice courtroom to a larger SUI
perior court, due to an overflow
crowd, Many officials Of the Pro-
gressive party. including William
Pennock, Lenus Westman, Everett
Fourre and Jerry O'Connell were
among spectators and witnesses.

HOPES FOR NEW GRIDIR0N BRIGHT
 AFTER MEETING

Juneau-based fishermen toda, had bright hopes for new 320' foot gridiron at the small boat har' bor in time for boat-repairing thii spring.
 Hopes were sparked at a meet ing last night of representatives o the fishermen, the Harbor Com. mittee of the City Council, ano Frank A. Metcalf, Territorial High. way Engineer and chairman of tho Territorial Board of Road Commis- sioners.
 After fishermen termed need fol new gridiron an emergency, Metcalf said he would recommend to the other members of the Board immediate allocation of half the funds needed to construct the pro- posed gridiron and allocation of the remaining amount in time for completion of the project by March.
 FUNDS FROM TAXES
 Funds would come from money collected for Territorial motor fuel taxes.
 Plans for the new gridiron were drawn up by City Engineer J. l.. McNamara after conferences with representatives of the fishermen. Cost of the project was estimated at s3o,00o The plans call for a 4o-foot width for the new gridiron with six-foot catwalk and crushed-gravel walk at the lower level of the gridiron.
 The proposed gridiron would ac- commodate boats on both sides, with 17-foot width on one side and 15-foot width on the other.
 The gridiron is planned to make possible work on 20 boats o1 mixed size at one time. Three halibut ves- sels or five trollers can te worked at time on the present gridron. Metcalf pointed out during the stormy session that he didn't need to be sold on the idea.
 T started work on the present gridiron when I was with the city," Metcalf said. "The grid was too small then"

 Mayor Waino Hendrickson said the city could not afford to match funds allocated by the Board of Road Commissioners. He pointed out that equipment purchased by the city for providing electricity at the boat harbor and money spent for repairs to number four float had coast the city S12,000 in the past year.
 However, he promised that the city's pile-driver and its crew and also tools would be provided for help in construction of the new gridiron.
