Simple, with the questions arranged so that all you have to do is make a pencil mark to indicate your answer. Sounds good doesn’t it? Here’s how it works. The other day your contest editor received some photos from Warner Bros.’ dramatic hit, “Black Fury,” starring Paul Muni. The pictures were of some of the highlight incidents from the film. So taken were we by these scenes that we showed them to some of our personal friends. They were quite impressed with one photo in particular. We asked for their opinions but cautioned them against using “Greats,” “Swells” or “Per fects.” And so they replied in proverbs. Now this at first sounded very strange. We couldn’t make out what their reactions were. Finally we were told that since your contest editor was always trying to stump people with puzzles they were going to treat us in kind. This they thought should be news; when a reader baffles a contest editor. Little did our friends realize, at the time, but they gave us an excellent idea for a contest. If you were in our place at the do you think you could have figured out what proverb described the photo? It’s really not very difficult. The proverb incident forms the first day’s “sticker” for what we think is an extremely interesting five day contest. We visited a Library, a school and two other places and asked people for their impressions of the “Black Fury” photos. Their descriptions given to us in a most unique manner should provide you with a great deal of fun as well as the possibility of winning some handsome prizes.
