St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Marchers ‘Get Irish Up’
Over Clan Separation
NEWPORT, R. I., UP) — Lt.
Cmdr. Manuel Moitoza, U.S.N.R.,
who says he is of Portuguese de
scent, has been asked to settle a
dispute involving hundreds of
Irishmen.
The dispute broke out Monday
night at a meeting of the St.
Patrick’s Day parade committee.
The Clan Sullivan wants to
march as a separate battalion. It
seems there are 867 Sullivans in
the Newport area.
It was argued by some that if
the Sullivans could march as a
separate battalion, so should the
O’Briens, Gallaghers, Murphys,
etc.
Chairman Jack Stewart said
others would be welcomed to fill
a battalion if there are enough of
them—but the final say rests with
Moitoza, the parade chief of staff.

Queen for a Day
Will Be Guest
At Ice Carnival
March 6 Winner on
Hollywood TV Show
Will Get Trip to Alaska
Some ten million people will
see a Queen for a Day chosen on
March 6. A week later the
“Queen” will be on her way to
Alaska to be an honor guest at
the Fairbanks Ice Carnival. The
show is seen on 146 NBC-TV sta
tions and heard over the entire
Mutual Broadcasting System and
is rated the top daytime show.
The show was bom 12 years
ago. Jack Bailey, master of cere
monies, has (been with it since its
inception. More than a year ago
it went “big time” and originates
•now from Moulin Rouge, famous
Hollywood supper club.
Anyone who wishes to attend
the show writes in for tickets
which come in two parts. The
filled-out part is handed to an
usher. The stub with a corres
ponding number is retained. The
wishes expressed are read and
re-read by a staff panel. Twenty
one ladies are called to the stage
and briefly interviewed by Jack
Bailey and the producer. Five
are selected to tell their stories.
The audience, by applause, elects
one Queen for a Day. Her wish
is granted. She is given a 24-hour
whirl around Hollywood in a gold
Cadillac, wined, dined, enter
tained at theaters and supper
clubs, given a beautiful ward
robe, a multitude of gifts and
sent away on a trip.
Betty While, travel director for
the show, says that the routine
never becomes tiresome because
there are always so many human
interest stories. The March 6
queen should have a good story
to tell upon her return from her
Alaska adventure. She is to be
flown to Alaska from Seattle by
Alaska Airlines and has been of
fered a trip to Pt. Barrow by
Wien Alaska Airlines in addition
to attending the Carnival March
14-17.
