I think it was a sort of gossip column for the local weekly paper. You know, who's birthday it is, when the ladies club meets, who's visiting who. That sort of thing. With just a bit of real news sprinkled in. :-)Elysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149532952197876886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568842413800774126.post-47696627868204157792012-07-26T08:05:21.245-07:002012-07-26T08:05:21.245-07:00What a wonderful post!

If you know the general location of where it was published, visit Rootsweb, go to that locations web pages (for example Wisconsin, then the county or town) and see what they have available. You should be able to post a query on one of the boards or mailing list. Someone might remember the column and point you in the right direction. Somewhere there are copies of that newspaper. The more information you have (such as the time frame), the more likely you'll find it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568842413800774126.post-29059757062503156962012-07-26T07:14:36.773-07:002012-07-26T07:14:36.773-07:00Fun isn't quite the word I'd use.

The contests have sponsors. In 1944 they were pretty much on their own.<br /><br />Unfortunately, there's not a lot of info about the pageants during the war. My mom doesn't even get a mention on the official Miss America pageant site. They only list the winners and top ten contestants for that year. :-(Elysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149532952197876886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568842413800774126.post-25648856983515561682012-07-26T05:54:20.447-07:002012-07-26T05:54:20.447-07:00A great story and tribute.
