be Seward's favorite son or daugh
ter. So get busy and buy that tic
ket for the baby you would like
to see win and don't forget to
save the small /Stub of ticket as
it may mean $50 to you on the 4th
of July. Many business places
have tickets for sale, some spon
soring one baby and some spon
soring the whole group. The
drawing will be right alter the
baby awards and as many tic
kets have been sold to the people
who could not be here on the 4th
It has ben decided to draw 3
numbers and should the person
holding the first number not be
here, he will have one week to
claim the $50, after which time the
second number will be advertised
for one week and should no one
claim this the third number will
then be advertised.
To date, by popular request, the
American Legion Auxiliary has
not given out any report on how
the Contest was going. Many in
dividuals have remarked that they
liked the idea of having the win
ner announced ;<s a complete
surprise on the 4th at the time of
the Baby Awards about 2 pm.
at the bank corner.
All tickets with names of babies
must be in to Mrs. Gene Lanier
by 10 a.m. on the 4th and the Aux
iliary is most anxious for all who
are selling to report by that time
so that the babies will get the
credit due them. In places that
are closed on the 4th the tickets
will be collected on the evening
of the 3rd.
