Final Plans Completed For
Carnation Baby Contest

NEXT WEEK

Final plans for the Carnation
Second Annual Hometown Heal
thy Baby Contest have been
set and will be announced next
week pending final approval of
the Carnation Company.
Last years contest brought
such an avalanche of entries that
the company Immediately decided
to offer another contest to our
community in the spring.
Frankly, this paper is delighted
that the new 1855 Healthy Baby
Contest is so close upon us again.
Along with our good friends, all
the effort to bring better health
to our babies. And we firmly be-
lieve that this contest does just
that, by making all our readers
extra conscious of our commun-
ity's greatest aSset-our healthy
babies.
Although exact details of the
contest are not known, this paper
has learned that the contest will
offer even more cash prizes than
last years. We have also verified
the fact that babies who were
entered in the 1854 contest are
definitely eligible again this year
provided they are still three
years of age or under, and did
not win a cash prize before.
There is no limit to the number
OF babies who can be entered
from one family-even twins or
triplets are eligible! Names OF the
prominent local personalities who
will serve as judges will be an
nounced by this paper shortly.

These facts were brought out in

that her own study, just complet.

Another fact turned up by Mrs
