Fame, Riches Via Contests
By BETTY CANARY, Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Lb
1 was wondering who was winning all
those free trips to Florida and the new re
frigerators and cameras and stuff in con
tests and I decided to find out.
Well, what 1 found out was that occasion
ally there are lucky people who win after
sending in only ONE entry blank they
picked up on a drugstore counter. How the
entry blank happened to be there is a puzzle
to me because one of the first unwritten
rules of contesting is Steal Entry Blanks.
You make the rounds of all the supermar
kets, etc., and tear off all the blanks on the
pad marked “Only one to a customer.”
Most contests are won by “contesters.”
These people devote as much time and en
ergy to a so-called hobby as they would if
they ran a fair-sized business.
There are books written about how to win '
and newsletters sent out to fill one in on all
the local as well as national contests. You
can buy boxtops and labels and tips. Con
testers, who must be counted among the
friendliest people in the world, have clubs
and hold conventions. They will pool ideas
and help each other and welcome new con- s
testers into the fold. 1

slogan or jingle won first prize in the na
tional contests. Winners agree (or they don’t
get the prize) not to divulge it.
1 tried my hand at it and among other
small items won a silver tray, an electric
shoe polisher, two wallets and a camera.
Most contest entries from amateurs are
thrown out and haven’t a chance of winning,
first because people simply do not follow
the rules on the blanks, and second, because
so many are duplicates.
The really big winners who have new cars
every year and a kitchen chockful of elec
tric gadgets have contesting down to a sci
ence. They send in hundreds of entries, with
the amount of effort and entries gauged to
the value of the prizes. They mail entries on
a schedule to guarantee that at least one
entry gets into the many mailbags pouringi
into the judging agency.
Some say big winners are investigated by
detective agencies before the big prize is
awarded. Therefore, if you put your cousin’s
name on an entry, fill him in on what he
said and when he said it. Better be sure he’s
a real kissin’ cousin, too. He might not hand
over the prize and take the 10 per cent you
promised him. He might decide to hog the
whole thing.
Famed Paris Model Makes Comeback
By ALINE MOSBY
PARIS (UPD—Bettina, one of
Paris’ most famed models and
friend of the late Aly Khan,
made a comeback Friday
modeling the new more fitted
suits in the Chanel winter
collection.
All eyes were on the brunette
when she strode through Cha
nel’s quiet salon in the
designers’ classic suits that this
season have longer jackets and
are cut closer to the body.
Chanel also added belts to her
suit skirts for the first time.
But they stayed the same length
as last year, covering the knee.
The 1967 Chanel models have
no . chain belts or chain
necklaces, but retain the little
gold buttons and blouses with
matching linings.
Chanel chose printed and
striped suit wools that were a
riot of odd color combinations.
For evening she made her
classic suits in lames, and
brocades, including seven in
gold. Her coat collection includ-,
ed some redingote fitted coats.
The showing also included
a three-tiered short lame dress
in violet, silver and pin. Bettina
modeled a black velvet short
gown whose full skirt and big
