Hackett, 33- Queen Candidates Needed for Jubilee At Jacksonville Jacksonville The general consensus of officials for the coming Gold Rush Ju bilee is "If you want to get ntarried, join the queen's con test for the Jubilee." This feeling has resulted from the fact that two proposed cand idates, both from Ashland, have dropped out from entering the contest because of marriage plans. Dr. Al Griffin, queen contest chaiman, would make no state ment as to any magic in the connection between the contest and wedding bells but only look ed sad and issued a call for more candidates from 14 to 21 years of age. He pointed out that candi dates may enter without spon sors and that there were weekly prizes to be gained, and that ev ery candidate would receive a prize at the end of the contest. Miss Anne Weaver won the weekly queen's contest ending July 18 with 22,500 votes. Miss Donna Schrader was second with 15,000 and Miss Kay Carrara was third with 12,500. First prize was a table lamp from Weeks and Orr Furniture store; second, a view - master from Ander's Photo shop; and third, a slip gift certificate from Jean Hart's. Weekly contests include only that week's vote, while the fin al contest will be the cumulative totals for the entire period. Each ticket sold counts 100 votes.
