CONTEST Idea of this six-day newspaper contest is to select correct solutions to
comedy situations taken from the picture. Observation of daily scene and the situation
presented will give contestants necessary clues. Contestants circle one of four solutions suggested with each scene. Entries are sent in at end of contest, not separately. Family appeal of this type of contest makes it a good newspaper feature and at same time gives your showing extra publicity. Order “NT Contest Mat 501B” — 75¢ — from Warner Bros. Campaign Plan
