(AP) A couple of hard hat men were crowned queens of beauty yester day in the latest and liveliest an tics at the Alblna Engine & Ma chine works shipyard. First Curly Goguen, announced winner of the queen contest, don ned the dainty robes of queen hood! Then, because of dissension over his election, he was to retire in favor of runner-up Pigsfeet Moore. Goguen, slightly confused, ad vanced boldly. "I secede," he announced in stentorian voice. The crowd roar ed. "You mean abdicate," came a whisper. . "I quit," shouted Goguen, and began stripping off the robes. He stripped right down to a point short of indecency and Moore, robed as queen, stepped up to the throne, wearing a crown of steel scrap. With the abdication, good will returned, and so ended a contest in which workers bought war bonds and stamps as votes and paraded behind banners, cheer leaders and' brass bands. Despite the controversy over a late $50,000 bond purchase that made Goguen the announced win ner, the contest was a success.
