I agree.MISS HOUSTON I-add The prizes? Well, this is whdt has bean bringing in batches of entries the past few daysi a $1000 scholarship, $500 wardrobe, $300 diamond wrist watch, $250 portable sewing machine, $150 portable television set, a glamorous white fox fur stole, $150 portable typewriter, $100 worth of blue Chip insurance stock and a large studio portrait. Not to be outdone, all the Jaycee bachelors have put their heads together and will present Miss Houston with her own personal color telephone, plus a year's free service. Runners-up in the Miss Houston Pageant won't miss out, however. The top three finalists will each receive a trophy and the top 10 finalists will each get a gold charm bracelet, pen and pencil set and a studio portrait, plus a Jerry Lewis record album. We're not through," Mr. Hooper declared. "There are other prizes in the works, real Texas prizes, like one head of cattle and an interest in an oil well; might even get her a trip to Las Vegas. Of course, it's not as nice as Texas, but We want to be friendly to the other smaller cities." A favorite among the Jaycees is Bill McDavid who is an Oldsmobile dealer. He is making this fabulous event possible by underwriting the Miss Houston Pageant for $20,000, The civic-minded Houstonian is also giving a $1000 scholarship to the winner. Miss Leonora Slaughter, executive director of the Miss America Pageant informed the Jaycees that they would probably have one of the biggest pageants in the nation. -<*30?╟÷
