of these contestants are known to
be hard and smart workers and
will be in there up to the last
moment when the final count is
made.
In spite of the fact that she is
down to I4th position this week,
Mrs. Eula Steele Laney should not
be counted out yet. Mr^. Laney is
also known to be a hard and smart
worker as was indicated last year
when she walked off with the top
prize, a free airplane round trip
to Bermuda. ^ ^
Not to be counted out are three
contestants who are consistantly
