BeautyEnt1y
List Shakes
Male Judge

When the pleasant voice on the
telephone asked, "how would you
like to judge beauty contest?"
resistance and the caution of
years melted.
Yes, we would enjoy being a
beauty contest judge. In fact,
it would be a pleasure and an
honor.
That was a week ago. This
week the SENTINEL editor-he
who uncautiously took on him
self the task of picking the fair
est of the fair-Was beginning
to weaken.
Reason for the faltering resolu-
ton was the receipt of the first
batch of names of the County
beauties who have entered the
contest which will be held as
a part Of the Farm Bureaus pic
mic on July 80 at the Gathers
burg Agricultural Center.
Even an ink stained wretch
such as the editor knows that it
will be a hard job indeed to pick
winners from such comely lasses
as Patsy Messer, Mary Virginia
Dorsey, Alice Heisler Helen Caul-
field, Elizabeth Anderson, Lois
Stang, Theresa Heck, Cynthia
Dawson, Rosalie Henderson, Bet
ty Umpstead, Margaret Ann King,
and Louise Kricker.
Nor will this be the total array
of pulchritude that will be-daz-
zle those in attendance at the pic
mic. The entry lists will not close
until 2 p. m. on July 30-in other
words, just before the start of
the contest. And rumor has it
that many other fair damselS are
preparing to enter the lists of
Venus.
In view of the magnitude of
the task, the editor welcomes the
addition of another judge for the
contest. She is Mrs. Myron DEF
fenderfer of homemaker fame.
With the steadying influence of
Mrs. D. and the third occupant of
the hot spot yet to be named
there may at least be strength in
numbers.
Mrs. Basil Waters of the Farm
Bureau also said that she had
two other judges ready to face
the music as arbiters of the baby
contests-Mmes. Tyson Wheeler
and ]. A. Dawson. These ladies
may not have to face the wrath
and disappointment of non-win-
ming babies but they will certainly
be called on to make explanation
to parents.
In addition to the previously
announced gifts for the beauty
contestants, Willard Harvey of
the Nationwide Insurance Com
pany announced this week that
the winner would get an accident
insurance policy. 1t sounds like
nice gesture-but personally we
think the judges could find a
better use for the policy.

Everett Jones of Damascus
estimates that his descendants
now total upward of 10000. De
scendants of his grandson, Single
ton, and Singletons wife Mary
Rachel Elizabeth Burdette, now
number in the hundreds. A part
of the church service will be de
voted to Memory Time when diff
ferent experiences and amusing
incidents will be related.
This will be followed by bust

tending are asked to bring old
wedding pictures, old baby pic
lures or any other small inter.
esting old object.
