Some candidates were as late as two to three weeks before they officially began reporting. Jo Ann Singleton of An tioch Baptist Church and Hazeline Sarter of Universi ty Park Baptist Church, two candidates who fell into that category are using their tardiness as a means of determination and extra commitment. Because she wasn t able to start reporting when the contest began. Mrs. Singleton plans to “double J he number of subscriptions *that she has normally turn ed in." "I am just going to work really hard these next two weeks," mentioned Mrs. Singleton. "I've gone out a lot in the neighborhood," she added. Although she doesn't con sider herself a good salesperson Mrs. Singleton was willing to participate in the contest because her pastor. Rev. Preston Pendergrass, asked her to. If she could rank sorpewhere near the top as well as help her church raise some funds then Mrs. Singleton's goals would be achieved.' She plans on reaching these goals with the assistance of Lois Pendergrass, Christine Gilliam and Helen Bell Smith. These persons make up her committee.

"The Ix»rd and I are going to have to come up wth something during the next two weeks. Although the odds have been against her Mrs. Sarter exclaimed that her adrenalin is still flowing and with her being behind the other candidates that's all the more of a rhnllrnj'f for her to “put her best effort HAZELUNE SARTER _Adrelin is flowing forward." A second time contestant Mrs. Sarter who par ticipated in the first chnr chwoman contest had the decision to run again made for her. Her pastor. Rev. Palmer felt that since their church was getting a late start they should go with so meone who had more ex perience in the contest. Rev. Palmer’s confidence in Mrs. Sarter along with en couragement from Bill Johnson, friends and family members convinced her to try it again. The fact that her church could use the funds raised from this cam paign didn't make the idea of participating such a bad one either. On her committee is Florine Chamber*. Rev.

In comparison to this same time frame in 1961, the candidates have in creased the number of sub scribers by 43 per cent.
