This is so that the names of all
the contestants may be publicized.

a point system, the points to be
gotten by the girls selling tickets
and receiving 100 points for each
ticket sold and an extra point for
each book sold.
The queen will be chosen be

as the honored guests during the
dance and will receive a valuable
gift.
Airliner Carrying
British Evacuees
Crashes; Seven Die
BACKWATER, England, UP*—
A chartered airliner bringing
British wives and children home
from the embattled Middle East
fell into a woods early yesterday
and burst into flame.
Seven of the 80 persons aboard
were killed. About 40 others were
injured.
Many leaped to safety before
fire enveloped the plane. Airfield
rescue teams pulled out others.
The company flying the plane
for the British War Office said
the fact it had seats facing the
tail probably kept the death toll
relatively low.
The dead were four children,
the pilot, copilot and radio officer.
The four-engine plane, inbound
from Tripoli, Libya, was ap
proaching Blackbushe Airport
near here thru a light mist. A
War Office spokesman said it
undershot the runway—touched
down too soon.
The passengers were mostly
wives and children of the British
army and Royal Air Force per
sonnel.
