Crowning of the winner thus
becomes a distinct tribute to all
young American womanhood as
each new America’s Junior
Miss steps forward as a sym
bol of the nation’s best.
The America’s Junior Miss
Pageant grew out of the fam
ous Azalea Trail Court in Mo
bile. The court originally ho
nored only high school senior
girls from Mobile, enlarging
later to add representatives
of southern communities. En
thusiastic response to recogni
tion of this age group led to
the development of the pageant
as it now operates. Local and
state Junior Chamber of Com
merce organizations sponsor
community and then state page
ants to pick a Junior Miss from
eacli state. The winners come to
Mobile for a week-long pageant
in March, hosted by the Mobile
Jaycees. All of the pageants—
local, state, national—stress
the value of education by offer
ing college scholarships as the
major awards.

PRESIDENT’S NOTE
I, as your president, receiv
ed a letter which made me
swell with pride for each of
you and the job you have done
since May 20, 1965. Our na
tional president, Mrs. Robert
J. Stuart, wrote, “It gives me
great pleasure to Inform you
that following a report of your

Stodgills Welcomed Back;
Munich Has Its Lacks
Welcome home to Ann (Mrs.
Jean) Stodghlll and children,
Ken, Annamarle and Joan, who
returned to Forest Park after
living in Munich a little over
a year.
The family left here in May,
1965 with best intentions to re
main with husband-father MST.
Jean Stodghlll, whose military
orders called for three years’
service in Germany. After ex
periencing cold weather, a
school term not to be com
pared with Forest Park’s edu
cational system, and no church
of their faith — these prepon
derant factors, plus missing the
warmth and friendliness of
home folks, brought the Stodg
hllls back home. The only sad
note was leaving behind Mr.
Stodghlll who had a promotion
In rank and had to reamln for
the duration.

Mrs. Stuart also said, "Your
new status brings you new pri
vileges as well as new obliga
tions.” TMs means more work
In every area as we will be ex
pected to expand our voter ser
vice, adopt a local program,
take action on program (con
sensus) and write our congress
men when we get a “Time For
Action" to let them know the
league’s position on bills to be
passed in Congress.
I would like to join Mrs. Stuart
in stating we have a potential
trouble area — membership
growth. Your membership
chairman, Betty Rivers, has
been concerned and also has
been busy making plans for a day
and night coffee. Now you, the
members, will have to do your
part to help sell league to your
friends and neighbors. When she
contacts you please try to give
her every assistance possible.
Congratulations have bee^e
celved from many; among them
our state president, Billie Pfif
fner, who wrote us a nice let
ter wishing us a long success
ful exhlstence. CCLWV has the
respect of the county officials
and businessmen and for this
we know each one who worked
on either or both the county
survey or the finance drive
should be thanked because they
did a bang-up on public re
lations.
NON-PARTISHIP POLICY
The members of our league
board can not engage In any

dership. Other members are

Commenting on the climate,
Ken wore a wool ski sweater
and heavy winter coat to
downtown Munich on July 5.
Munich schools were minus
standard preparative courses
required by Georgia Tech where
he aspires to go after graduat

Annamarle and Joan are stu

The family crossed the At
lantic by jet going over to
Germany and returned by ship
aboard the USMS William Buck
ner. They loved both exciting
experiences and Mrs. Stodghlll
said the ocean voyage was so
relaxing she “could have stay
ed aboard another 10 days.
She and the children have taken
an apartment at Clayton Manor,
392 Sylvia Drive, Forest Park,
until Mr. Stodghlll returns —
then they’ll go house-hunting.
