Florida Girl Wins Second National Health Contest
Gainesville, Fla.—Second healthiest club girl in the United States is the honor Anna Belle Jamison, Polk county 4-H club girl, brought back to Florida earlier this week when she returned from the National Club Congress health winners from over the country in Chicago. Competing with state 4-H club girls, she was second in the national contest.
Another Florida girl won second contest for her ability in judging and baking bread, and sixth place for the curtains she entered in national competition. She was Marjorie Morrison, Alachua county.
Florida has an enviable record in the national health contest. A Florida girl won it in 1929, and before and since then Florida entries have stood near the top, winning several near first places.
Others representing Florida in the Club Congress were Margaret Alford, Manatee county, in the dress review, Bettie Reed, Jefferson county, canning champion, and Herbert Joyner, Hillsborough county, state corn club winner.
They reported having a good time in Chicago snow, but looked mighty glad to get back into Florida's balmy sunshine.
